There are three types of people, the living, the dead and those who go to sea. The opening subtitle of the movie quoted the famous saying of the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. In that era, people who went to sea were a kind of isolated existence, and it was also extended. Today's movie "Song of the Wolf" The same is true for the protagonist - the soldiers on the submarine. Once they dive into the deep sea to perform tasks, they are isolated from the world.
In the waters near Syria, on the quiet and deep seabed, the French submarine Titan is diving.
At this time, the sonar system made an abnormal noise, and Chantley, the sonar soldier known as the golden ear, immediately informed the whole ship: frigate, azimuth 1-5-0, seven blades. . . . . . Iranian frigate, Zarathustra, I'm sure.
At this time, they found the Iranian frigates and they could have sailed safely in ultra-quiet state.
But soon after the sonar detected an unknown object approaching on the bottom of the sea, the sound information was very strange, and Chantley was confused. Judging from the sound and speed, it should be a submarine, but it was a four-blade, and currently the navy of various countries has Submarines are upgraded to seven blades, what is it?
To complicate matters, Chantley also heard signs of life.
As the unknown object got closer and closer, everyone on the ship was looking forward to his answer. Chantley had never encountered such a complicated situation before, and the pressure was doubled. In a panic, he replied that there was no submarine. The captain ordered the mission to continue. Back to the swimming group, but then, an unexpected thing happened, the "wolf howl" siren sounded, their location was exposed, and it was the unknown object that had been misjudged before that did not exist - a real submarine, The Iranian frigate on the sea immediately dispatched anti-submarine helicopters, and a war started.
Fortunately, the captain was experienced and brave. He shot down the helicopter with a rocket launcher, resolved a crisis, and successfully completed the mission.
After disembarking, Captain Graylette and Chief Mate Dorsey were both promoted, while Chantlely was suspended pending investigation for an error. But he was still obsessed with the weird sonar he encountered. In order to find out the truth, he jumped to check the boss's computer, went to the bookstore to check the information, and took the risk to sneak into the military database, and finally found out that he was retired from the former Soviet Union. Tiven III.
He was supposed to be on the mission with the nuclear submarine Intrepid, but a urine test detected marijuana and was fired on the spot, and he had to leave.
An unexpected thing happened. Shortly after the submarine entered the sea, a French satellite detected a missile launched from the Bering Strait. It came from a Russian submarine. The target was France. Even more deadly, the missile interception failed. At this time, the French President A nuclear counterattack against Russia was ordered, and the captain of the USS Intrepid received the highest military directives and prepared to implement the plan.
On the shore, Chantley, who entered the battle command room while the chaos, found something strange. He heard the nuclear bomb flying towards France, which was 20% lighter than the normal model. That is to say, this is just an empty bomb. The intelligence from the United States confirmed that this was a trap. The missile was launched by the Tiven III that Titan encountered in the Syrian waters. This submarine was bought by terrorists long ago, and the purpose of launching the empty bomb was to blame Russia. Provoking a nuclear war between France and Russia. However, the President's order for a nuclear attack has already been carried out, and the Dreadnought has sunk to the bottom of the sea, cutting off all contact with the outside world. The absurd thing is that according to the procedure, the order is irrevocable, even the President can't, but if this nuclear bomb is launched, Adding to the turmoil in an already tense Europe, Russia will launch a nuclear counterattack, most likely causing a world war.
In order to prevent the situation from deteriorating, the French military sent another submarine, the Titan, to prevent the launch of a nuclear bomb, sinking the Dreadnought if necessary, and destroying its own countrymen.
Either stop them or destroy the world.
Ironically, the Titan and the Dreadnought were originally arranged to escort the Dreadnought. Due to the misjudgment of the intelligence, the former friend became the enemy, and a tragedy of cannibalism was about to be staged.
The male protagonist Chantlet also participated in the operation, and he sneaked into the Titan with the admiral.
After approaching the Dreadnought, Dorsey, the captain of the Titan, turned on the communication channel and tried to contact the Captain of the Dreadnought, but was unable to gain the trust of the other party.
There was no other way, the colonel ordered the Dreadnought to be attacked immediately. In the sound of the wolf howling, a war began between the two submarines. Both were injured. The Titan was sunk and the Dreadnought was severely damaged, but the nuclear bombs on the submarine were still in a state of preparation for launch.
At the critical moment, Chantlet uttered the wolf howl to the captain of the Dreadnought, and gained trust. The captain who was injured in the war used his remaining strength to pull out the launch procedure, successfully preventing the launch of the nuclear bomb.
Horrible after watching it. Nuclear war is so far away, yet so close. A wrong intelligence, territorial disputes, terrorist acts, etc., will bring the scourge of war, and live and cherish.
As a military disaster film, Song of the Wolf has many flaws in the plot, and the visual effects are not as good as the disaster films produced by Hollywood, but there are still many bright spots, and there are many contents worth watching again and again.
You can learn a lot of new knowledge by watching the film. For many movie fans who don’t know the military, it is the first time to know the existence of the special profession of sonar, because this is the first movie with sonar as the core. What is a sonar soldier? Submarines sail in the depths of the sea, and electromagnetic waves are ineffective, and sonar needs to be used to detect, classify, locate and track underwater targets; but the equipment is only a machine after all, and there are mountains, plains, ravines, etc. on the seabed, and artificial (sound) It is the "eyes" and "ears" of the submarine, and sometimes the captain has to listen to them. In addition, there are various command execution procedures of the submarine, etc., which are fully reflected in the movie, which basically achieves the restoration of God.
It is worth mentioning that there are still many philosophical elements in the film, which is also a unique aspect of French films. In addition to citing Aristotle's famous quote at the beginning, the film's title, Song of the Wolf-Wolf Howl, also has an unusual connotation. It embodies both sides. It is a danger and a savior, and it is a threat to the current military force of various countries The metaphor of , can protect our safety but also bring immeasurable consequences. Water can carry a boat and capsize it. How to make good use of military power has always been a subject of human reflection.
This film is no longer blindly singing heroic sacrifice, any emotion in the face of death is okay, you can show righteousness, but also cowardice. That's true, that's human nature.
Dorsey, the captain of the Titan, although he knew the military orders, he would not give up any opportunity to protect the Dreadnought and the soldiers of the Dreadnought, even if the result was sacrificing himself.
They are our brothers. - Dorsey
A tall and brave soldier, knowing that this was a suicide attempt, was afraid of death, and he wept and rushed away from the other soldiers to destroy the torpedo launcher.
Sonar soldier Chantlet, burst into tears in the lounge, when the colonel asked him to give the Dreadnought's precise location, he couldn't bear the pressure and fled.
Colonel, in order to stop the war, he was forced to kill a group of his best disciples.
I have spent my life teaching kids to follow procedures, defend national security, and trust the system. Now they are going to die. - Colonel
