Greyhound Movie Review
For war fans or military enthusiasts, this film satisfies our deep understanding of World War II escort fleet combat. The film is good, the special effects are not ugly, and the plot is compact.
But there are a few regrets,
First, there is too little detail about the main opponent u-boat, and there is no image of an opponent or a German. Mostly tom Hanks' performances.
Second, the U-boats were written too weakly, and the Cargo Ships of the United States and The United Kingdom suffered great losses without aircraft escort.
In January 1943, the heads of state of the United States and Great Britain and senior generals met in Casablanca to discuss the next steps for allied action. Despite the great differences between the two sides on strategic issues, it has become a consensus to ensure the security of the allied life lines of communication in the Atlantic. However, the attack on german submarine bases had little effect.
Around the same time, Dönitz took over as Commander-in-Chief of the German Navy and Commander-in-Chief of the Submarine Force. In his view, submarines were the backbone of the Allied Great Western Communication Line. After taking over, Dönitz was successful, developing new submarines, using new tactics, sinking 187 merchant ships in 3 months, and responding fiercely to the Allied counterattack with practical actions.
The film is set before the peak of Wolf Pack tactics. The Greyhound did not come out before the escort carrier tactics came out, before the Germans lost air superiority. Theoretically, there is no slag left in this caravan. It can't be so brave.
Third, American films are all technical equipment that overwhelms the other side. In the film, the radar finds the u-boat, and then the sonar locks, and finally the depth bomb explodes, and the u-boat is finished. In fact, the effect of radar in the film is exaggerated, not so magical.
Fourth, britain is the main force in the Atlantic theater, and the main force of the US navy is dying in the Pacific and Japan. Therefore, more of the results are the British, and the United States is basically equipped and laid down. In one breath, he gave the British a lot of destroyers.
In early 1943, after a decisive victory at the Battle of Stalingrad, the Red Army took advantage of the victory to recover a large amount of lost ground, but at the same time as the German army was defeated, Marshal Manstein, commander of Army Group South, also began to plan a counterattack against the Red Army. At the beginning of the Battle of Kursk, German forces were concentrated on the battlefield against the Soviet Union.
Germany was attacked on all sides, and no matter how powerful the U-boat was, it was powerless to return to the sky.
Moreover, the German cipher was cracked, and the u-boat that was known the location was coming to an end.
World War II The United States was a just war and the mainstay of World War II. American aircraft, tanks, gasoline, ammunition, food and other military supplies were sent to the Soviet Union through a huge fleet of transport ships, to Britain, to China, to India. And more and more, supporting the struggle of other countries.
Therefore, at that time, the United States was a real community of destiny, uniting all countries and fighting wars. The status of the United States is really played by themselves. It's not something you get by bragging about it. When we watch the news, we always criticize you, criticize him, and blame them for following the United States to engage us. Instead of doing business with you for a few days, you forget who you are.
