Captain Ramsey said in the paragraph before sailing, "We are past with the most powerful killing weapon... We can launch the most powerful firepower in the history of war"

Ohio-class submarine, this is so far The most advanced strategic missile nuclear submarine to date began in the Cold War. It is the killer of the US Navy. Together with the strategic air force and land-based ballistic missiles, it constitutes the United States' "triad" nuclear strike capability.

The 24 missiles and 336 sub-warheads carried on an "Ohio"-class nuclear submarine can destroy 200 to 300 large and medium-sized cities or important strategic targets of the other party in half an hour.

Such power naturally made its captain "one of the most powerful people in the world."


And when this person may cause a nuclear war that destroys the world because of his stubbornness, what should you do as a deputy captain?

This is my favorite submarine military movie.

Unlike similar movies in the past, the real threat does not come from the outside, but from itself.

Clausewitz once said that "war is nothing but the continuation of politics in another way."

The actual combat officer represented by Captain Ramsey has experienced battles, rich experience, and courage, but he is self-willed and stubborn. He believes that as a soldier, all you need is execution, not thinking. Destroying opponents is victory, this is his point of view.


Hunter represents the new military officers who come from prestigious schools, have solid theory, and rigorous work style. Unlike Ramsey, he believes that there is no so-called victor in a nuclear war. The real enemy is the war itself.


These two protagonists constitute the most exciting storyline in all submarine movies.

Man's play.
Except for Hunter’s daughter’s birthday party in the first movie, there is almost no element of warmth, and when the soldiers and their families are about to leave, it reminds me of the phrase "Poor and unfixed riverside bones are still spring boudoir dreams." Inside".

I like the mobilization of Captain Ramsey in the rain, the pride of soldiers, the pride of soldiers, and the charm of a group of iron-blooded men. At that moment, it is undoubtedly obvious.

"It has the greatest name in the world, Alabama!"

There have been many descriptions of men's eyes, such as deep, such as infatuation, such as melancholy, such as sunshine. For a long time, descriptions of handsome men have only been described by words like "beautiful guys in flowers".

If you think it is right, then you should watch this movie again.

Fans once sent flowers to the Spanish coach Aragones. The old man was furious, thinking that he had insulted his masculinity.

From then on, I no longer call Spain Adou, and no longer regard it as a soft man, because of the pride of a man.

And this summer, the old coach who rejected the flowers won the championship trophy with his team.

Flowers are reserved for women, and sunshine is reserved for children.

The stormy rain and the raging sea are the stage for men.

Just like Alabama traveling in the morning sun, thousands of miles of sea frontiers, cutting the waves and cutting the waves, how heroic it is!

Kim Hackman, when he saw him, he realized that the charm of a man really doesn’t care about his face, he really doesn’t care about his age. At the end, he walked through the narrow corridor with a cigarette in his mouth, raised his hand in return, and just a few actions would be a lifelong battle. It is worth mentioning that King Hackman has served in the Navy for six years since 1946.
In the film, Colonel Ramsey gave his life to the navy. The navy is everything to him, except for the navy and his "BEAR". In the sunshine of Pearl Harbor, he left, took away the memory of Jin Ge and Iron Horse, and also took away the story of a man.

Hunter, the most handsome naval officer I have ever met. Firm as iron eyes, persistent and fearless decision, MAN!

The section about Hunter being "saved" in the film is very wonderful-"Sir, I decided to join you", a simple sentence from the subordinates-how can we let the other group in times of crisis? Men are willing to follow you, regard you as their leader, and go through fire and water? In the "Biography of Napoleon" it is described that Napoleon, who had fled from a small Mediterranean island, encountered Bourbon troops in southern France. He stepped forward, opened his coat and said, "If you want to kill your emperor, then shoot!" Tens of thousands of French troops did not kill their own emperor, but turned their guns back and loyal to his subordinates. I think that there are always some men who can do it. They have firm beliefs, and they are the beliefs of others. Such as Napoleon, such as Wallace, such as Hunter.

If you ask me, what is the definition of "black and white match", I will answer you, Denzel wears a navy uniform, that is the most exciting black and white match.


Hans Zimmer's music is a highlight of the film. It not only won a Grammy Award for himself, but also established his creative style in the future. Open and close, passionate.

There is no cold scene in the whole film for 120 minutes, intense plot, fast-advancing rhythm, cleverly designed dialogue, the duel between two men in the movie, and the internal competition of two masters outside the movie.

If you are a MAN, if you like real MAN, then watch this movie.

    The film is irresistible, and its excellent editing and soundtrack assists create an irresistible rhythm that doesn't interfere with the enjoyment, even if you can guess the outcome. Although the story of the movie is based on a nuclear submarine in a quasi-war state, it is actually a script that highlights contradictions. It has little to do with war itself, and in terms of showing conflict, this is a movie that makes people feel restless for a moment. .

    What should really be reflected on is the strategy of using nuclear weapons first. Anyway, it will be a nuclear war in the end. Does it mean a lot to kill millions of opponents first.

Crimson Tide quotes

  • Capt. Ramsey: Rickover gave me my command, a checklist, a target, and a button to push. All I had to know was how to push it, and they'd tell me when. They seem to want you know why.

    Hunter: I would hope they'd want us all to know why, sir.
