《Greyhound》-Holy light shines on the dark trench

This is a naval war movie. I'm afraid it's a movie that pursues truth and accuracy in the performance of combat state and tactics. It has the expressive power of commercial film and the realism of documentary film. In particular, Tom Hanks's steady deduction makes the role authentic, introverted and full of tension.

This movie is not only a must see movie for war movie fans, especially for the rich and wonderful World War II theme, but also an excellent textual research sample for military fans, ship fans and sea war fans. But from my personal point of view, this film is a religious film in the guise of war film.

In addition to the calm and steadfast work of the captain played by Tom Hanks, the film also shows his devout Christian identity.

At the beginning of the film, his gift to his girlfriend is engraved with the words "yesterday, today and forever" in Hebrews 13:8. The whole sentence is "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever." As we can see later, this Scripture is on the mirror of the captain's dormitory.

Although the captain didn't have a meal during the battle, he had to pray before the meal, even in the tense rhythm of the battle.

After sinking the U-shaped submarine for the first time, the other crew members were very excited. Someone told him that they had killed another 50 German devils. There was no joy on his face, saying that it was 50 lives.

There are so many details. When the crew was buried at sea, the captain played the role of a pastor to deliver the eulogy in person; when they finally returned home, they could finally go to bed, and before that, they still did not forget to kneel by the bed and pray devoutly.

The film itself is adapted from the novel "shepherd", and the shepherd itself is the pronoun of Jesus Christ, which is well known, and even has a dramatic interpretation in "vulgar novel". At the same time, the name of the film, that is, the name of the ship, is grey hound. As we know, Grey Hound is shepherd dog here.

The film almost shows the battle in the form of line drawing, and each specific action is very clear. It seems to be a realistic film. However, four U-shaped submarines were killed on the first crossing of the Atlantic Ocean. They were still determined to stay awake for 48 hours. Other ships were killed one after another, and the Greyhound was almost unhurt. In fact, they were all showing miracles.

It's actually a film about faith and miracles. It's just that the shepherd is not shepherding on the grass, but guiding the freighter in the vast ocean. The battle took place in the dark trench, and the glory of God illuminated the trench and guided the fleet to ride the wind and waves.

Thinking of these, the analogy with this film is not "attack from the bottom of the sea", not "battle in the angry sea", but "bloody battle on the hacksaw ridge", which is also the story of faith winning.

After the captain finally prayed in front of the bed and lay down on his side, two beams of light from the porthole hit him, which was sacred.
