Americans always like to use tinted glasses to see others, of course, sometimes they also see their own people that way. Putting aside this unrealistic reverie, technically speaking, this film adapted from the novel of the same name by Tom Clancy is still worth watching. It is even better if you are not a military enthusiast. Thanks to the writer’s superb writing skills, the film’s performance in the details is very realistic, and the submarine’s combat commands and delivery methods are very close to reality. Although the writer has never had experience in the military, his depiction of these details is extremely true. President Clinton was a fan of his books. He was shocked by his detailed description and asked him what warship he served on. Of course, this movie also has fatal flaws. The Soviet Union’s performance in the movie is too stupid, whether it is the Soviet ambassador or the captain. Both give people an image of bad guys and stupidity. Such treatment is too blunt, which invisibly reduces the expressive power of the movie.
