And just to really get you mind thinking it is about to happen in the USA, if trump gets elected it will not be jews ( at firs ) but hispanic people that will be killed, thump allready is copying Hitler look up the history of the nazi party, Hitler burned the reichtag, Thump made an inserection, Hitler burned books, Trupmp bannes them, Hitler took ower all news papers and radio brodcast to only publish nazi policy, Trump just makes people belive that anything besides Fox news is fake, please think about what you do at this comming election
IMO, the new Jack Ryan shows are terrible- over dramatized, not smart, no interesting technical details-the technical aspects of the film, while not exciting in the modern movie goer sense, are brilliant to those that enjoy technical details in a movie- something missing for a decade or two.
It's loke real life. Who cam see the truth. God is real and this world had evil on it. They control the world. Trump is against evil. People must wake up
I've now seen a number of younger reactors who grew up after the cold war not understanding or enjoying this movie. The Hunt for Red October does an excellent job of portraying cold war politics and submarine warfare. The movie didn't need to provide more explanation of the context and motivations when it was released in 1990, but perhaps it does today.
BTW, I love the Hunt for Red October. This movie also gave me a first time watching experience that I'll never forget. I first watched this movie in 1990 in a theater filled with US military information systems and intelligence soldiers who engaged and interacted throughout the movie, in spite of a broken projector requiring that we wait for the reel to be changed every 11 minutes.
Grrl you need a Raspberry beret The kind you find in a second hand store Raspberry beret And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more Raspberry beret
27:22 I think you had to be there. I understand why it wouldn't work for a younger audience. I get you are a film nerd but sometimes torpedoes miss huh. I was like 8 when this came out saw it at like 15, loved it. Das Boot vibes.
8:08 This is the difference between men and women. Your superior knows you are the sh*t, no one else can give this briefing. Affirmed for him. I'm in my zone. Of course rattling. Don't f**k up. Women: How can you dump it on this poor man this late. Girl, this is his oxygen
23:38 Bingo. I love that this became a reveal, still is. I miss my 80's/90's jurisdiction films when we learned this 30 years ago (pre 9/11) CIA, civilian charter by congress. No right to carry operations in the US, until patriot act. Well, if you work with the FBI...
I guess this movie was too "high brow " for you. Stick with the stupider stuff. It suits you better. Kind of like how you abandoned the show The Pacific because it was not fluffy enough for you. This was a great movie with terrific tension and build up.
In reality, missile submarines were never thought of as first strike weapons since they had land based missiles. Flying time of a missile launched from land between USSR and USA is so short that shortening the distance with submarines posed no significant advantage. Missile submarines were always second strike weapons. They're supposed to hide in the depth (the Soviets were less successful in that compared to NATO) so that you do not know where to shoot if you DO a first strike. So the subs survive and can strike back.
"Thor's Twins" could be a reference to these two goats that he had (since Thor has no children) that pulled his chariot. I believe they were the ones that appeared in Love & Thunder. In the mythology, Thor apparently ate the goats, then resurrected them.
Yup, same Jack Ryan as the Amazon series.However, in the next three entries in the film franchisem Harrison Ford took over the Jack Ryan role, and I think Ben Affleck was Ryan in the final move. They might be more to your taste
"Defection" is a word whose meaning was much more well known in the context of the Cold War (or if you watch a lotta spy movies). Agreed with @dougearnest7590. This is an absolutely fantastic spy themed suspense and political thriller. But no one is obligated to like a movie merely because others do. A lot of it is a function of what a viewer understands of that cultural context in which the movie and story were made (much of which became bygone and washed away after the collapse of the Soviet Union pretty much the year after this released, and, nowadays, is starting to slowly rebuild but not anywhere quite where the world was in 1990/'91). A lot of it is down to whether you even enjoy that kind of genre. (And I always love your reactions. For one, your intros get straight into the films. For another, you tend to appreciate most movies that are broadly considered "good", which is about all most can hope for a first-time viewer.) Generally, submarine movies often form their own subgenre of war/military movies. This is because subs are largely "blind" at least *visually* speaking, to both enemy subs and terrain around them, because they have fairly limited means of detecting their environment, like different kinds of sonar, and those are received and processed by the captain kinda slowly, which often heightens the suspense.
The question is where you entertained ? Thats all it supposed to do! On a side note you don't know how big it was for someone to switch sides or defect weather it was American or Russian!
The reasons why you thought the movie was "flat" are the very reasons why the movie is so great. No overacting. No bullshit drama. It is realistic cold war politics.
C'mon man, admit it - It would have been a much better movie if Ryan had an affair with Ramius' wife, who was killed while trying to elude the KGB on her return home from their last secret liaison. Ramius wouldn't know the identity of her lover, but swore revenge, determined to find out who he was. As he ordered Ryan to turn the Red October toward the incoming Soviet torpedo, it hit him. He'd seen his wife reading the English language copy of Ryan's book on Halsey - not realizing she spoke English - which Ryan taught her while they were in bed together. Shortly thereafter, Ryan and Ramius must don scuba gear and work together to disable the Konavalov's propeller. Ryan almost dies in the process, but Ramius puts his personal animosity aside to save him for the sake of the mission. Meanwhile, Ryan's own wife was anxiously awaiting Admiral Greer's "layover" in London while back en route to Washington DC, which makes her lesbian lover jealous - but they both know it's only temporary and true love will win out in the end. There is also some foreshadowing of events which will take place in the next Jack Ryan movie: In the final scene, we learn the teddy bear is a KGB plant.
You have to be smart enough to "get it." Sitting in your basement doing movie reactions (with a hat on no less) will not teach you history...and ver recent history.
