If you wanna know why a great many actors have said that Gene Hackman is the best actor they've ever worked with, it's the way he looks Denzel up and down after he says "The true enemy is war itself." You can read whatever you want into that look, but the fact that he does it gives his character an extra MILE of depth. Absolute god of acting.

I love this film. Both Hackman and Washington did great jobs. The sarcasm of the Capt in this scene just shows how much he believes he is right in every situation. XO handled the passive aggressive criticism well. The Capt got an 'aha' when XO told him the real enemy was war itself and he was dead set on his belief that war was the best solution to gain one's ends. Shows the XO was not 'complicated' as the Capt called him, but a nuanced thinker. He admitted he was made capt in an era when the Navy wanted a button pusher who would follow orders and not ask why. The US Air Force did a simulated war game with it's officers who were in the missile silos that would push the button to launch all their ICBMs in a nuclear war. A high number of those officers did not agree to fire the missiles without question. That meant many of them knew that launching those ICBMs would probably end life as we know it on the surface of our planet. Does anyone have the right to make that decision for 7.8B people and all wildlife on this planet?

What if the question was 'Are we under nuclear attack?' and the answer 'Yes'? And then let's say you believe that in such a circumstance it is already pointless to fire, well that might lead you back to the question of why did the enemy fire? Perhaps they thought you wouldn't press the button to return fire or perhaps they knew they could counter your response? Whatever the mind games that go on, it also seems risky to lead your enemies into thinking that using nuclear weapons is not something you would ever have the stomach for in any circumstance. We can only wonder what subtle effects might have changed the cold war, negatively or positively if the second world war ended without nuclear weapons playing a role.

I think the scene captures two facets, of a multi-faceted attitude, that Americans take to war. Our culture of war is cultivated early. It spans the spectrum of Hackman, “I don’t care who the enemy is - kill it.” That visceral amygdala hijack, like when someone sees a cockroach or a rat. To Washington’s “infinite game” explanation of war. The enemy is war itself. The players come and go, but war’s goal is to keep going. It’s a great film, a great scene, and two great actors.
@JodyOwen-we6oo Жыл бұрын
I respectfully think you oversimplify the first and miss the point Washington’s character makes. We have elected representatives to determine where and for what reason we use our military, so we can hold them accountable. Soldiers of whatever rank neither can nor should make those decisions, only act on them. Hunter wasn’t saying war is innately the enemy. He was saying that when full scale war is likely to end human life no possible political or other goal could make it justified. A real general wrote a brilliant commentary on ‘compassionate’ war. Basically in his view it only extended the misery, death and destruction of war by enabling a longer fight instead of (as Machiavelli wrote) crushing your enemy as quickly as possible to compress the negatives into as short a time as possible. Just my opinion though.

When this movie was released in 1995, Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington were the headline actors. Washington shot into recognition with 1989's Glory. Hackman had a long resume of roles in big movies. Prolific, well established. But looking back on these movies it's always interesting to see actors in them before they hit it big. Here we see James Gandolfini before the smash series The Sopranos began in 1999. Viggo Mortensen before being recognized in 2001's The Lord of the Rings. Lots of actors out there grinding it out trying to get the big break.

One of my favorite moments of attention to detail as that you have the two most senior officers on the boat, the Captain and the XO, verbally and philosophically jousting, and not one single junior officer is uttering a word. They laugh and acknowledge the points being made by their superiors, and you can kinda tell whose side each is on, but they're listening and learning. This is one of my favorite submarine movies, in part because it shows how command should work, and what happens when it doesn't. The captain makes a few very bad mistakes, but is otherwise a good captain. The XO makes a few very bad mistakes, but is otherwise a good XO. I think the biggest mistake started when the Captain assumed that his rank meant he had the XO's trust, and when the XO simultaneously felt he knew better than the Captain and showed that feeling to the officers and crew.

I love scenes like this. The dialogue is pretty good... but what brings it to life is fine acting and reacting. Hackman and Washington are fully engaged in their characters and it's the way they react to each other's lines that really slams the scene home. And props to writing too; Ramsey is written to basically spell out the conflict between the two characters in a nutshell here: Ramsey is the man who executes orders faithfully and Hunter is the man who wants to know why. It's simple, but it's this difference being exposed here that sets up the conflict for the rest of the film. Both men are intelligent, well-spoken, well-read and well-liked. They're both good soldiers. But the key difference is how they think about a problem and its solution, and you can see in this scene that both men are trying to figure the other out and how to deal with the way the other man thinks.

I like the duality of this, but more than that I like that the two philosophies are tied together. An ideal warrior is to be so formidable, they will never be challenged, and thus peace will reign. However, for that warrior to be outwardly considered fatally formidable, the warrior must consider themselves to be ruthless to an extreme. Hence, it’s only purpose is to defeat the enemy. The enemy won’t fear a visually terrifying warrior, it will only truly fear the warrior which seriously is dangerous.

Among the most interesting things about a world with nuclear weapons is that they’re been used once in battle. And despite what people say Harry Truman made the right decision based on what he knew and his duty as president at the time. It is NOT the job of the US president to safeguard enemy lives. It IS his job to maximize the outcome for Americans. Period. Yet, despite tensions and power hunger in leaders and on and on, no country or independent group has used a nuclear weapon in nearly 8 decades. In fact, in at least 2 documented incidents soldiers tasked with using them in what were later shown to be false alert situations refused to do so, seeking other reasons why the alert happened than enemy launches of missile prior to launching rheirs.

Watch “The Conversation”, “Crimson Tide” and “The French Connection” back to back and you’ll see what I mean. Denzel Washington takes it up several levels with “…the true enemy is war itself” - not just what he says but the expression on his face and every other officer in the room as they observe him and Hackman “spar” (in jest, at first). A real turning point in an excellent film. “Crimson Tide” is up there with “Das Boot”, “Run Silent, Run Deep” and “The Hunt For Red October” as far as top shelf submarine films go.

I have known a couple of intelligent men in life similar to that of Gene Hackman’s CO position. These men knew basic operations plus much more in their professions. My hat went off to their knowledge and experiences. But in a few instances they lacked wisdom in their over-confident decision making skills that cost them dearly in man power, use of resources and longevity of the project purpose. In these instances they failed miserably. I was younger by a generation in age but brought along some new helpful information with a new perspective that I take no credit of my own from some state of the art schooling and new experiences from those learning institutions. My take was to learn from my employer’s knowledge and experiences and combine that with new techniques/technology to improve the total quality of our projects. It was a difficult time, as a younger person, to go through the hardships of these older mentors but did learn a lot from them. I am in debt to them for what I learned. It’s too bad that these guys also suffered in a few ways with lost revenue, resources and lost personal. In fact, both of these men could not keep employees around long term because their egos, arrogance and loud talk was very condescending. As a military guy, I could handle a lot of it for years working for them until they would lose it altogether. Then it was time for me to leave. This is why this film resonates with me so well.

Once you have seen Gene Hackman as Capt. Ramsey, you cannot fn unsee it. He is the CAPTAIN. Definitely one of my top 5 actors of all time. Most natural man in front of camera ever. No effort at all… Amazing.

he is nothing at all like a real sub captain - best example would be Red October and the USS Dallas' captain. Much more believable.

I just love how Hackman's attitude changed from when they were discussing war to when Washington said that war itself is the enemy. For his character war wasn't something bad in itself. He studied it and perfected, he wasn't afraid of it - "You win a war, by destroying your opponent". For Washington's character war was something awful, that should be avoided at all costs -"Today it's impossible to destroy your opponent, so you cannot win a war". He knew from the beginning that they were on the opposite sides (that's why he claimed that he's simple and Hunter is complicated). But now he realised that they didn't share a very core of his values.

Hackman's character seems threatened or at least irritated by Washington's character's ideals, while the XO is unintimidated and deftly defends his position without aggression. Each man demonstrates his attitude about war succinctly not just by what they say but how they say it.
