The United States has made so many excellent World War II movies, but there are very few topics dedicated to the naval battle between warships and submarines, and even fewer are so excellent. "Greyhound" is such a rarity. The rhythm is tight and no minute is wasted. The opening chapter goes straight to the topic, bringing the audience into the cold, cold, and perilous Atlantic battlefield. Together with the captain played by Tom Cruise, the audience can feel the fear of being hunted by submarines all the time, experience the grief of losing their comrades in arms, and make fish and bears. Difficult choices that can't be had both in the palm of your hand, showing the military literacy of keeping a clear mind and making sound judgments under heavy pressure, and the power of "yesterday, today, and forever" belief. The only relaxing thing in the whole film is the memory scene between the captain and his wife, which gives a brief buffer to the nerves that have been tense. In addition, the film is full of a lot of naval terms such as ranging, anti-submarine, and sonar monitoring, which are confusing to hear. Although I don't understand it, I think it's very professional. A good war movie should focus on military details. There are many excellent World War II movies with the US military as the main perspective, such as "Saving Private Ryan" in the European battlefield, "Hacksaw Ridge" and "Midway Island" in the Pacific Theater, etc. These movies convey the universal values of the West to the world Everywhere, it is a kind of strong cultural export. I wonder if there will be a day when our descendants will think that it was all thanks to the United States for winning World War II. On the other hand, the last World War II movie in my country is still fresh in my memory is "Blood Battle of Taierzhuang", which was filmed in the 1980s. This is 2020. When will we be able to shoot as hard-core as "Greyhound" good work?
