"Greyhound" is a famous Oscar-winning actor - Tom Hanks about the American "Greyhound" destroyer commanded by him in the early days of World War II. On the one hand, it gave the Allied 37 fleets to cross the dangerous North Atlantic, and on the other hand, it commanded the German U-boat group that resisted the attack. After 48 hours of continuous maneuvering at sea, the fleet was finally declared to have completed its escort mission after the arrival of allied escort aircraft.
Greyhound
This film is directed by the American director Aaron Schneider, his work is not much, on the theme of war is also the only one so far, his representative works include "His Own Funeral", "Life Express" Douban score is not bad, and his "Greyhound" is also different from the previous war blockbusters, the film only has the first ten minutes to relax people's nerves, and then until the end of the film, the atmosphere of the film has always been shrouded in an unusually tense fog, and the film camera has always revolved around the lead actor Tom Lee. Hanks lays out with The Greyhound.
U-boat
The film is about Tom Hanks played by the commander-in-chief of the "Greyhound" - Captain Ernie, who is a newly promoted "Fletcher" class destroyer captain, not long after taking office, he was responsible for this arduous escort mission, during World War II, the United States joined the original neutral allies against fascism after the attack on Pearl Harbor, and after the war, the United States in addition to fighting Japan in the Pacific Theater, but also sent war materials and combatants to the European battlefield, which was really "both money and force", and this time The 37 merchant ships escorted by the Greyhound were all supplies destined for the U.S. port of Liverpool in the United Kingdom. In addition to the "Greyhound", there were three other destroyers, namely "Eagle", "Dickie" and "Harry", and the four destroyers joined forces with the enemy's "wolf pack" - U-boat for 48 hours, and finally all of them were sunk, but at the same time lost the "Eagle", and 6 merchant ships "Harry" were seriously damaged, and the "Greyhound" also lost 3 people because of the torpedo of a submarine, including the head chef who was closest to the captain.
Destroyer "drift"
One of the most thrilling scenes in the film is two U-boats firing torpedoes at the GrayHound at the same time, and Captain Earl also staged the "drift" of the destroyer at sea and finally dodged the torpedo, at the end of the film, the captain returned to the lounge, prayed to Jesus reverently and finally slept peacefully, 48 hours of uninterrupted fierce fighting, almost let the experienced captain "fall", but finally when the sun shines through the window of the ship, it means that the goddess of victory will always be on the side of justice.
