"Crimson Tide" - 1995
(Gene Hackman)

This is a story of a rescue by the Human spirit
(demonstrated by the character played by Denzel Washington) rising against the
tyranny and demonic seeming obsession with destruction of humankind on earth in
what is a nuclear potentially trigger happy mindset played out by Gene Hackman
potentially (similar to what we saw of George Bush and his cronies in Iraq I've
always said). In fact the two discuss the "malicious" oriented types who simply
like to be a harm to others on whatever pretext or excuse they might hang hat on
as it were.
Mutiny is played out, as power shifts back and forth to a competing group of
servicemen with their adopted leader - as tension mounts to see whether a
nuclear launch of disastrous potential might yet be avoided aboard this
submarine. This movie is similar in quality in main respects to "The Hunt for
red October" and even in some regards "Das Boot" depicting German Naval Officers
soldiers at sea and shore.
We always need a "Bill Clinton" type in any event to keep this opposing seeming
mindset from getting carried away with its destructive insanity potentially I
say!
