This is a submarine movie starring Sean Connery in 1990 that "the older the more attractive, the more wrinkled the more handsome". The old handsome guy played the captain of the newest Soviet submarine "Red October". On a seemingly ordinary morning, he suddenly ordered a break into the US offshore waters, causing an uproar between the United States and the Soviet Union. A large number of Soviet submarines also went to catch up. Is he crazy about launching a nuclear bomb to the United States, or is he going to rebel?

Submarine movies have a unique charm, that is, character conflicts, national wars, wits and courage in a narrow space in the deadly deep ocean. In the deep sea that is thousands of meters deep, any party will die if it makes a mistake. This fierce competition looks so quiet but exciting. The first half of the film is fairly well laid out one by one, and the climax at the end of the film can indeed be regarded as a classic segment of the submarine movie. Sean Connery's calm old man charm is revealed here, and the games between submarines, torpedoes, and anti-submarine fighters are also abundant. Interesting.

Hollywood strives to be authentic in the expression of such films, especially in terms of language, and even has a Neville language created specifically for a film. However, if Sean Connery and the crew speak Russian from start to finish, it will be a lot of pressure on him and the audience. The film uses a lens to solve this problem. At the beginning of the film, the political commissar reads Sean Connery’s diary. As the lens moves closer to his mouth, the Russian in his mouth gradually becomes English, which is an explanation to the audience: this is for The convenience of watching a movie does not mean that they are really speaking English. Later, after the Americans got on the boat, they jumped back to Russian, saying that they did not communicate with the American language.

I learned another word, Torpedo~ If you are interested in military, war, especially submarines, you should not miss this movie.

    The movie sets the United States and the Soviet Union in the same way. Those with advanced consciousness are excluded. However, after all, they are praising the United States and the Black Soviet Union, and the depth of reflection is limited. The US official is willing to take risks and give the warriors a chance. The prejudiced conclusion of success or failure based on the status quo of the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the dominance of the United States, or whether it is precisely because of the essential difference that the two superpowers have gone to very different ends, will be unclear for a while, but it is certain that they have never met. The fact that the political enemies of the political enemies are connected in the stormy sea is very romantic in itself.
