Not sticking to the details and not digging into history, it is still a quite ornamental naval battle film

Any captain played by Tom Hanks is the captain himself, the captain, the captain, the captain, all exuding a calm and wise leader style.

The whole movie is completely from the onboard perspective. From the 9th minute, it entered a state of tension. The Fletcher-class destroyer commanded by Uncle Tang found the German U-boat, dealt with it, counterattacked, sank the U-boat, escorted it successfully, and went to the British port.

Most of the plot is very compact, and it is a bit superfluous to add to Uncle Tom's emotional scene from beginning to end.

What is most criticized is that the background of the film is set in February 1942, but the first Fletcher-class destroyer in the United States was officially commissioned in June 1942...

The jammer decoys dropped by the U-boats had not yet appeared...

U-boats generally attack merchant ships and then run away. How dare they follow a frontal attack destroyer, especially if they are not just one, but an entire escort fleet...

The biggest failure was that the German army cut into the Allied broadcast channel to shout and provoke, like a schoolboy meeting. How could this be something that the German captain would have done during World War II?

Alternate historical background is okay, if you have to set a background, there will be a lot of bugs, which is not like a standard, stylized Hollywood production.

After China clapped hands and ripped the devil's crotch to hide the mine, the United States also began to film the plot of the enemy's brainless provocation and being counter-killed.

As Zhihu Gaozan said, this is a politically correct film. The enemy is frivolous and arrogant, the U.S. military is defusing the crisis and saving the fleet, the allies cooperate closely, and the black chef sacrifices heroically...

The best dramas about World War II are mainly land warfare. Last year's "Battle of Midway" was a rare and good air combat movie, and this "Greyhound", if you ignore those flaws, focus on the sea The tactics of confrontation, destroyer organization and wartime command are still very entertaining.

There have been no major maritime conflicts since World War II, and the navy has become more of a muscle-based testament to military prowess.

Recalling the excitement of Captain Han on Douyin when he crossed the Gulf of Aden when he saw the Chinese warships and the national flag, he shouted to the Chinese warships in the air, and received a reply that he was carrying out escort missions for Chinese merchant ships.

Today, modern escorts are basically calm, but the matter of "escort" itself still sounds very moving.

    The storms are rough, and you must prepare as soon as possible, knowing that you are the last line of defense for the fleet. There are wolves around, you must make a judgment immediately, otherwise how to face those faces who are looking forward to going home. Behind the cheers, honors, and praises, there are struggles, helplessness, and anxious waiting. Only by experiencing the danger in the midst of the smoke of gunpowder, can we take the great credit under the cheers. With a noble and loyal belief, yesterday, today, and forever. Unexpected annual hit, it can be called the captain's training manual, battle command, sailing scheduling, temporary decision-making, and a comprehensive display of everything, from the high-spirited sailing to the embattled crisis, his prudence, forbearance, anxiety, all in one go. Coupled with that tense soundtrack, goosebumps are like ocean waves. Let me tell you a detail: During the funeral of the unfortunate food steward, the soldiers shook the flag many times before burying his body, as if he was reluctant to part with the ship. I remembered the dialogue between him and the captain at the beginning of the movie. : "I can sleep well on the boat." This is the temperament and insight that a good theme movie should have.

    I originally thought it would take a long time to set the stage, but I thought that I would directly enter the theme in three or five minutes, but I thought I wanted to be nervous first to whet the audience's appetite, and then slowly recall and describe the character's personality slowly. I couldn't breathe, I thought a paragraph was over, but I didn't think it would continue. The shot of the German submarine is well portrayed, but the radio provocation is a bit redundant.
