@wardenphil Probably. Many of the concepts are a bit far-fetched, and some reflect what was believed at the time and is now known to be incorrect. Granting the author and the movie-makers artistic license, this movie is very well-done.
@TalksWithDirt There was at least one such movie, which I watched (w/ English Captions) on TBS in the late 1980's. I wish I could remember the name of the movie, but I can't.
@wardenphil The main theme of Western nuclear war movies was the inability of the state to maintain control, or even a coherent reason to fight a war vs the magnitude of the destruction. Many on the political Right were afraid that the population was not ready mentally to pay the price of repelling a Warsaw Pact invasion of the West with nuclear weapons. We feared that we had no choice but to fight with nuclear weapons yet we lacked will to do so. Many in the West felt trapped.
As Communications Officer for the Sawfish, Sundstrom would've had respect for the equipment...including the generators...that kept running for so long after the war ended. Turning it all off before it broke down seems like a token of respect for the people who had spent years maintaining it... perhaps right up to the very end
Were there any Soviet films about nuclear war? We had many here in the West. "By Dawns Early Light" was my fav. Please tell us of any Soviet era films on the subject.
в войне с фашистами мы потеряли 27 млн людей. Не мы напали на Германию. Не мы бомбили Херосиму и Нагасаки. Не мы выливали на Вьетнам сотни тысяч тонн химии. Советский проект был для восхождения Человека. Все наши кино, песни и другие произведения искусства говорили про Мир, любовь и созидание. До развала СССР в культуре не было вообще ничего про секс, был культ любви. То есть примитивные желания плоти не поощрялись, ценили душевную связь. Не поверите, но в СССР мы не имели представления про наркотики и убийства. Не было у нас этого. СССР был самой читающей страной в мире. Образование и медицина были бесплатные для всех. Вам интересны только фильмы про ядерный апокалипсис? Нет ни одной семьи из СССР, которая не заплатила кровью за уничтожение гитлеризма. Ни одной.
@@Vperedsmotryashii what about the Romanovs . That was not a love story ? Many good things did come from the Soviet Union no doubt. First satellite and man and woman in space. Many good but also bad. Again the Bolsheviks killed children from the Romanovs in Yekaterinburg in 1918. The Berlin wall was never a good look for the Soviets. Gulags and oppression. The West is far from perfect. Many bad things here as well. Many good thing also though. No one is perfect the Utopia you speak of is fantasy. Everything human is fallable. We should strive for peace.
@@darrenfromaustraliaupside-9079 it's a long story, and my English is poor. Are you sure you need it. I often have to use translators. Laziness. In short... In October 1917, not only the Bolsheviks took power. There were Social Revolutionaries, Mensheviks, Trotskyists... Lenin was preparing a trial of the emperor, but there were different forces inside the government.
The cosmic joke. Humanity sees patterns far away that it hopes are a sign of meaning and an escape from death and loneliness, but our long search reveals that there’s no-one there - just us, and we only realise how unique what we have is when we’ve more-or-less destroyed it - if we’d known earlier that this world is all we have, we might’ve looked after it a little better. All we can do is laugh, return home to what we know and love, and spend what little time we have left together.
I'm skeptical that the sub could fulfil this mission. Even though the sub is airtight, seawater is constantly being brought aboard: for cooling (necessary for nuclear propulsion), for making fresh water, for sensors (i.e. depth / gauges), and even some unavoidable leakage. Even with the radioactive water out of direct contact with the crew, gamma radiation would still "shine" through pipes and machinery - I suspect the aft spaces would quickly become dangerously radioactive.
One of the most shocking scenes of the movie, the moment when the hope is lost.... completely
And they laugh - so human. They are freed from hope.

This is a great movie.

I have actually used many of the items of electronic equipment shown after 6:18 in this video, early in my career.
It was odd that he bothered to turn the generators off.

Spacibo! We were worried of a nuclear war, yet we killed ourselves anyway with pollution.
Nos anuncia el final???

"Letters from a Dead Man" is the first feature film by Konstantin Lopushansky (1986).

Вы совершенно правы. Всё так и есть. Вы пишите как рациональный и разумный человек. К сожалению миллиардеры теряют голову.

технологизация поведения может быть разной. итог будет одинаков для всех. сегодня это очень актуально.
@@Vperedsmotryashii Can you translate this, please?
@@wardenphil You are right, such a submarine mission is technically hopeless.
@@Vperedsmotryashii Thank You
Morse goes better with Coke.
At least it was real code
@anisete46 No. I am familiar with all of these, but the Soviet-made movie was something different from all of these.
