So cheeky YY

The Hunt For Red October, adapted from a novel by Tom Clancy, a 1990 film, starring Sean Connery and Alec Baldwin.

Sean is as handsome as ever, and the older he gets, the more handsome he gets. The more wrinkles, the handsomer he is. I was surprised that Baldwin was so handsome when he was young. It's incredible. It has nothing to do with his current appearance. Years are killing... pig... knife... ah... how many charming handsome guys fell under this knife, tusk.

What’s even more incredible is that this is an American super YY blockbuster, YY the Soviet Union is full of peach and plum, the super experienced captain is dissatisfied with the story of a confidant, all-boat officers and soldiers, and a typhoon-class nuclear submarine. This kind of setting itself is not reasonable. If it is reasonable, what can we expect from human nature? Faith is betrayed so easily, this kind of unreasonable YY, how much narcissistic paranoia can I think of?

Not only did he come out confidently, he also portrayed the defector into a tall image, thus proving how powerful, correct, advanced and free he is. This situation seems to be the Japanese style. The Japanese like to raise their own defeats and use their strength to prove that they are a more powerful group of people. The above two are equally ridiculous with a guilty conscience.

Fortunately, Tom Clancy is a novelist, this kind of YY can't be studied deeply. Therefore, what prerequisite logic and role modeling are required, it is better to quietly watch the handsome and handsome old man Xiao En be charming, and watch them confidently and brazenly YY. What's more, this is also a product of the times, so there is no need to entangle this.

In fact, putting aside those premises, this is a military submarine war movie. Tom Clancy is so professional and proficient in this aspect. Even if the premise of the novel is narrow, this film can still be seen, who makes people Americans and has to stand on their own. The story is thrilling and twists and turns, the plot is tight and tight, and interlocking. At the beginning of the movie, there was bloody background music. The eyes of Captain Lemius, played by Mr. Sean, stood firm on the podium deck. At this moment, no one knew the purpose of his voyage.

The details are also in place. What I think is great is the handling of the language. Strive to be truthful and reasonable based on the conversion of Russian to English.

When the submarine political commissar read Captain Remius’s diary in Russian, the camera continuously zoomed in and finally focused on the political commissar’s mouth. After switching the language to English, the camera slowly backed away and returned to the normal scene. Such a lens unknowingly distracts the audience's attention, and will not make the audience feel that the language switch is very abrupt. Later, after the Americans appeared in the submarine, they switched to Russian again, which also indicated that they were directly unable to speak the language.

I said earlier that this is a military-themed submarine war movie, so military fans should pay attention to submarine fans. At the beginning, the panoramic view of the submarine when it sailed, in fact, the part of the submarine above the water was an empty shell, and the bottom was towed by the ship. But it's not too shocking to look inside the lens. The submarine torpedo battle in the middle was also very exciting and tense. Although some people questioned that the underwater battle was too rough, I still found it very enjoyable when I first saw it. In the last segment of the film, the plot of the submarine leaping out of the sea is really exciting. When the submarine's deputy captain was dying, he was still thinking about Montana, which really disgusted me. (Oh, well put aside the premise, regardless of the narrow intention)

Speaking of Mr. Sean, his acting skills are naturally indisputable. Because of his image, the defected naval captain in the movie is so charming and magnificent. It would not be the same effect for another person. Captain Lemius commanding submarine operations on the podium is also handsome and out of the sky, making me nervous and excited, and almost forgot that he is a defector. Is this why the director invited him to act?

    This film provides such a proposition for the vast number of idiotic men and women who have language barriers but are affectionate and intentional: how to carefully show favor in situations that are difficult to communicate without being considered by the other party to be a rascal. Sean Connery is obviously a master of flirting in this regard, but flirting for more than two hours is somewhat depressing. . .

    I'm not interested in the war theme, but it's still a good movie. It's a bit embarrassing to look back at the special effects of the movie.

The Hunt for Red October quotes

  • Seaman Jones: The first contact was at 09:15, and the bearing was 2-6-9.

    Capt. Bart Mancuso: Mm-hmm.

    Seaman Jones: At 09:30, it was here. I came back to it at 11:00 and 11:15, here and here. Sir, remember the dispatch we got about Russian sub skippers running the Reykjanes Ridge at high speeds because they had hyper-accurate surveys of the underwater canyons?

    Capt. Bart Mancuso: Yeah, yeah, Red Route 1.

    Seaman Jones: And the front door to those canyons was a formation called Thor's Twins, right?

    Capt. Bart Mancuso: Yeah?

    Seaman Jones: Well...

    [with a ruler and marker, he connects the line of contacts all the way down to Thor's Twins]

    Seaman Jones: Look at that.

    Capt. Bart Mancuso: Right into Red Route 1.

    Seaman Jones: Captain, you may think I'm crazy, but I'll bet that magma displacement was actually some new Russian sub, and it's headed for the Iceland coast.

  • Admiral Josh Painter: Jack, the only way to get you on the Dallas is to fly you out there by chopper. And the only way we can get you that far north is to strip it down and turn it into a flying gas can.
