      Moisturizing and silent American theme

      American theme.

      A Soviet submarine captain brought a group of officers and drove the most advanced Soviet submarine to the Americans, just to make a home in the United States.

      In it, the US imperialists and the black Soviet Union are very subtle but just right. The Black Soviet Union is a politically repressive state, and people have no privacy and freedom; therefore, those who want to defect should be envious of the freedom of the American imperialists.

      While expressing...

      Rabbit dead fox sad

      During the height of the Cold War in the 1980s, Hollywood made a series of unprecedented military films, such as the hunt for Red October, such as Top Gun. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, it is estimated that it is difficult to be surpassed. Without a strong opponent, the US emperor also gave up the sea wolf, so lonely that he could only go to the aliens.

      Alec Baldwin's Jack Klein is a rookie with airsickness, but he can break out and give it a shot at a critical moment, which...

      Did the Soviets also have the "American Dream"?

      The Hunt For Red October is one of the representative works of Tom Clancy, a famous American military novelist. It describes a senior Soviet submarine officer who was dissatisfied with the Soviet Communist system and gathered a group of cronies to command the Soviet Union's most advanced "Typhoon-class" strategic missile nuclear submarine "Red" carrying 26 SS-N-20 submarine-launched ballistic missiles. "October" defected to the United States for a thrilling and twisting experience, as well...

      A product of the color revolution can be punished

      No matter how great the content of this movie is, it is a very disgusting thing to portray a naked traitor and traitor as a hero! I watched it once when I was a kid, but I didn't know the background and it felt pretty good. Now I watch it again, and I'm completely disgusted! When the movie came out, it was about the same time as the disintegration of the Soviet Union, so it can be understood that our country was not peaceful at that time, but it soon subsided! That said, there will...

      "The Hunt for Red October"


      Director John McTiernan, whose most famous work is "The Predator", which is as famous as the "Alien" series, has a very similar style to James Cameron, and the pictures always convey cold machinery. Metal texture, and with the simple background sound to set off the depressing atmosphere.

      The plot is adapted from Tom Clancy's famous novel. The author is a legend and has no military education background, but the novel's irrefutable description of the details has even...

      1990. Putting aside political factors, a pure suspense film, with music and stories, is enough to move people. politics? Democracy cannot avoid corruption, and the procedures for punishing bad people are too long-winded. However, centralization is more likely to stifle human nature.

    Continuity: When Remius reported that the captain's plan had caused an error, Captain Blodin unlocked his button twice.
    An anachronism: After 1989, the Soviet Typhoon Fleet had only six submarines in total. In his 1984 acoustic logbook, Sunaman Jones mentioned that there were six ships besides "Red October".
    Continuity: Lean landed on the Dallas ship from a helicopter when it was raining outside. When you look at the windshield from the...

    Klaus Maria Brandauer was the first person to play Remis, the Soviet submarine commander. Two weeks after the film started, he had to withdraw because of other appointments.
    When the producer's script faxed to Sean Connery, because the first page of the fax was lost, the producer specially postponed the shooting date by one day in order to allow...

    Movie quotes

    • Captain Ramius: You're afraid of our fleet. Well, you should be. Personally, I'd give us one chance in three. More tea anyone?

    • [Shootout in the missile room]

      Captain Ramius: Hey, Ryan, be careful what you shoot at. Most things in here don't react too well to bullets.

      Jack Ryan: Right.

      [Moves closer to enemy, who fires several shots at him]

      Jack Ryan: *I* have to be careful what *I* shoot at?

    • Jack Ryan: [to himself, imitating Ramius] "Ryan, some things in here don't react well to bullets." Yeah, like me. I don't react well to bullets.
