@@RussiasSufferingInUkraine I am german. I don´t agree with a lot of stuff my goverment is doing. Please consider that the government and the people are not necessarily on the same page about political actions.
We can't blame the Russian people for the acts of Putin. They are going to suffer also from the sanctions the world community will place on Russia.
Can you do a movie reaction of rock 1996.
You said you liked movies with russian characters.
Well please react to the movie on Netflix based on a fictional event called: "THE COLDEST GAME" (2019).
@@90sVet i agree 100 percent.
I love how Sam Neil's last line was "I would have liked to have seen Montana" and his first scene in Jurassic Park was in Montana.
I never caught that. Cool.
Wow! I love that.
Beatiful woman in Montana
Read somewhere that it was actually filmed in Red Rock Canyon in the Mojave desert in southern California...
@@mpsmith19421 regardless of where it was filmed, Montana is where it was set.
as an ex-submariner I can tell you that people do inf fact smoke and subs, and it used to piss me off something fierce.
Love this movie.
"I'm a politician, which means i'm a cheat and liar and when i'm not kissing babies i'm stealing their lollipops."
one of the best quotes ever.
Richard Jordan really was fantastic. His delivery at the end "You've lost ANOTHER submarine?" was just perfect.
@@Ambaryerno every single person in the cast knocked it out of the park on this movie.
Even as a nine year old I knew that was an epic line. And the Boston accent of his was superb for the role. He sounded like Kennedy.
@@Ambaryerno I also loved his performance as Michael J Fox's uncle in "The secret of my success." It's so sad that this incredible cast can never meet entirely again. Jordan passed away only 3 years after this film was made. Fred Dalton Thompson died in 2015. Joss Ackland died this year. Anthony Peck, who played the first mate on the Dallas, died in 1996. Rest in peace to all who took part in this film. They made sure it was great.
@@largol33t1 Yes, Jordan had just finished filming his part as Armistead in Gettysburg when he died. The story I've heard is that the crew learned of his passing while editing Armistead's final scene after he's mortally wounded during Pickett's Charge.

"We need an actor for a powerful Russian submarine captain. Sean, can you do a good Russian accent?"
"I don't. Do. Accents."
*ackshents
Lol
All languages have an underlying Scottish accent to them. Don't they? LOL 😂
he played a famous Norwegian explorer in a Russian/Soviet film called the Red Tent. Don't think he tried an accent then either
@@helvete_ingres4717 He played an Egyptian chief metallurgist to the Spanish king, Charles V in Highlander and sounded more Scottish than the French-American guy they got to play the lead Scottish character.
I enjoyed hearing your translation of small moments on the ship. I always wonder what is being said in the background, but there are no subtitles for that!
Also, I was impressed by your keeping up with the plot. Not only did you hang in there for the fast-paced technical stuff and the twists and turns, but you also paid attention to the small details, like Ryan not smoking.
Watching reactions are all about sharing a moment with someone as they understand and enjoy something you love, and it was a pleasure watching you appreciate this classic!
It is interesting to get a young Russian’s reaction to a Cold War thriller. I’ve seen similar reactions from young Americans. Sometimes it feels as though the Cold War never happened. I read this novel in 1987 during my last year in college. It was very relevant then. Good job and love your little dog!
yeah, in 1987 i was finishing my 4th year of serving in the Navy. Seeing the movie on the big screen was like I never left!
And yet, here we are again. ..........
FUCK!!
Certainly feels like it’s happening now..😔
Yes, I loved the parts in the novel about the Russians watching E.T. and crying their eyes out. And how they were so suspicious of the creamer packets. And their wonder of being able to go to a grocery store and being able to buy as much of anything they want. No rationing. It was a big change for the officers coming to live in America. Also, the whole tale about the sub that broadsided the whale. I think of that sometimes and it gives me the creeps.
It would be nice to hear her reaction to whats happening right now.
The quote at the end by Ramius was actually showing off his knowledge of American history by referring to something Thomas Jefferson (3rd US president 1801-09) wrote to James Madison (4th US President 1809-17) in 1787: “I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.”
Dasha, you're a credit to yourself, your family, your community and to your country. We need more people in the world like you. I enjoy watching your videos. All the best, from New Zealand.
Here, here. I feel the same way. Dasha is the best
Your reactions to this movie are so sweet and genuine. Your joy is infectious in the best way. 😊👍🏼
Keep it up!
The technical authenticity of Tom Clancy’s book (“The Hunt for Red October” was his first novel) was so high that he was debriefed by the U.S. military, which thought he might have had access to classified military intelligence.
That's the mark of a great writer who can research and think out what he has learned, imagining how it would work in reality of a dynamic situation rather than the more static descriptions you would find in most declassified intelligence.
No wonder since there are real incidents that has since been declassified that seems very similar to this. Americans did place hunter/killer submarines outside russian naval bases to follow any "boomers" to sink them before they could launch nukes. There was an incident where the american sub collided with an russian sub out in the atlantic during an crazy ivan maneuvre. There is also a movie made of this incident starring Rutger Hauer "Hostile Waters".
There was an incident of a soviet naval ship went rogue in the baltic sea where a captain of the soviet latest war ship went out without orders and the soviet feared he was trying to defect so they sent what seems to be the whole baltic fleet out to track it down and airfields accross the baltic states scrambling jets flying full speed over the baltic sea in the direction of sweden.
He said that "if A isn't classified and neither is C, you make a good guess at what B is even if it's classified." Since only the critical stuff is classified, if you really study the de-classified stuff, you can work out many things on your own.
@@VadulTharys In reality, all he had done was some basic research and made some very good educated guesses.
The Navy made production change some details on the submarine interior sets. Like Clancy, they didn't have access to any classified data, they just made intelligent guesses and some of them were too close to reality for the Navy's comfort.
*Driving a submarine looks difficult.*
Imagine driving to the store with the windows covered. All you have to guide you is a map to see you're path, a compass to tell you direction, your speedometer, and a watch to tell how fast you are going and how far you've traveled, and the sound of the other cars around you to tell where they are.
Yes, it's difficult.
"Stop pissing, Yuri. Give me a map and a stopwatch and I'll fly you through the Alps in a plane with no windows."
"Yes...if the map is good enough"
This was the most fun reaction to The Hunt for Red October that I've watched. I was in the United States Submarine service when this movie came out and I've watched this movie many many times. This was the first time I've heard someone translate what the Russians were saying to English and it was wonderful! I'm sorry the Movie makers and actors playing the Russians did not speak the language very well but it was still fun to watch and hear you talk about the Russians things in the movie. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
This movie always gave me goosies.
I served on the USS Louisville...what boat did you do time on?
Yeah, I learned something from that. In the scene where Ryan says some thing in Russian right before he kills the cook I always assumed that he was just repeating what he'd just said in English. Now I know he was warning the man not to do anything, and only shot him when he still tried to complete his sabotage.
Well they got a guy with one of the most recognisable Scottish accents to play a Lithuanian, so clearly they didn't care about _any_ language while making this. :P
@@CruelestChris Check out the movie "Death of Stalin", for the actors using their own accents instead of Russian accents
It is two years later. I doubt you'll read this, but I've got to say, I thoroughly enjoyed you reaction to to this movie.
It's not just because you have become one of my top favorite reaction sites, but your immense pleasure translating what you could of the Russian dialogue.
You are why I watch reaction videos. Your enthusiasm, how you are able to interpret the plots of movies, and your empathy for the characters and the hardships they endure to entertain us.
I look forward to you reactions for as long as you are willing to share them. Seriously.
As you surmised, “eyes only” means no copying. A document marked “eyes only” is not to be photographed, photocopied, scanned, transcribed, or in any other way duplicated or reproduced. You can look at it and read it-but that is all.
And here I thought it was short for "your eyes only." Learn something new every day.
@@Caseytify It does have that aspect as well. Documents/messages with the handling caveat of "Eyes Only" are privacy communications with a specific "by name" recipient list.
Additionally, the concept is to silently read the document, not aloud to yourself and definitely not as part of casual conversation.
@@Caseytify "For Your Eyes Only"--one of my favorite Bond films!
I worked as a prison nurse and received emails marked 'Eyes Only". I used to feel (childishly) like James Bond
It’s not even supposed to be read out loud.
23:13 Not sure if anyone mentioned this yet but in the book by Clancy it is mentioned that Ramius' wife had died after a botched operation by a drunken and incompetent surgeon. The surgeon went unpunished because his father happened to be a high ranking Communist Party official; thus deepening Ramius' bitterness towards the Soviet system and sparking his desire to defect.
Also, in the movie Ramius says something like "I widowed her the day I married her" to Borodin, referring to his wife. This is something Captain Ahab said in Moby Dick about his own wife.
"Personally I'd give us one chance in three."
Dasha: "Well, still pretty good odds." That's so wonderfully Russian.
I love this, the whole reaction. Also, I love this movie because most films these days do not show military people as professional like this one does, on any side. They just substitute being formal and stuck up for being capable. Having been in the military for almost 20 years, I'm annoyed by that, but this movie respects all its characters and its institutions, even the Soviets.
Not to mention they make the military the bad guys so often now...
They're leftist idiots in Hollyweird. They are allergic to discipline, tradition, authority, and responsibility, so of course they hate/ridicule military just like parents, police, governors, religious figureheads and anyone who works hard and is successul. pathetic but true.
@@unclebounce1495 I know. Thanks for making the point like a drunk at Thanksgiving, I'm sure that helps.
@@ideologybot4592 Really? I didn't realize the words were slurred. Or are you just straining to find a reason to respond? Instead of saying nothing but hyperbole, try nothing instead.
@@unclebounce1495 that's... an amazing response.
please stop sounding like every negative stereotype of a conservative, I'm embarrassed to be talking to you.
I grew up during the Cold War. We could never imagine a world when the USSR would break apart and borders would be open to allow Russians and Americans to come and go. Everything Russian was a complete mystery to us. And we all felt that these “cat and mouse” games were the only things keeping us out of total nuclear annihilation. The hope we felt during the days of glasnost feels far away right now.
It was really fun to see a young person react to this. I remember how thrilling this movie was at the time. We hid in the theater until the next showing and watched it again. (That makes me sound like I was a little kid. To my shame, I was in my mid 20s.)
I highly recommend “Gorky Park” from 1983. It’s a great thriller set in the USSR during the Cold War.
And then, they attack another country and the world shakes their head. Things can change in a instant when a dictator rules your land.
Nobody cares about the cold war though. In 50 years younger people will be asking us:” did you remember the time before chinese world domination? A time when you were allowed to say, think, read, write and watch whatever you wanted”. And yes, we might be having this conversation while working in chinese labor camps, cause anybody who thinks the US can take on china is a naive fool. It is like comparing belgium to germany.
@@marcstein2510
China spends $200 billion a year on it's military.
Russia spends $80 billion a year on it's military.
The UK spends $75 billion a year on it's military.
The US spends $800 billion a year on it's military.
If it wasn't for the threat of nuclear weapons, this little argument would be over in an afternoon. You shouldn't underestimate your enemy, but you shouldn't overestimate him either. The combined spend of all the NATO countries is about $1.5 trillion per year. China would have to increase it's military spend eight-fold, just to match Nato ...and that is each year, every year.
@@Martyntd5 i know but chinese people don’t need to spend the same money for the same value, since their workers get paid nothing. America can f.ex. Build 10 submarines with 100 million dollar, while the chinese can build 1000 submarines for 100 million dollar (example). They don’t pay their workers shit. Maybe even use slave labor. Basically chinese only pay for raw materials.
@@Martyntd5 also chinas population is the same as the (US+Europa )x2 !! This means that if every chinese works as much as an average westerner and pays as much taxes as an average westerner (which is easily feasable) the chinese budget will be twice that of the western world. At that point they will also simply outspend the US and europe. It is only a question of when, not if. It is simle maths !
“Eyes only” refers to a document that only certain people are allowed to read.
“Buckaroo” is another way of saying “cowboy” or someone who is more shoot first, ask questions later.
“Halt” is a command not to move.
A nod to the Red Star Westerns when the Russians used to film Cowboy movies on the cheap.
and if I am not mistaken, Buckaroo is an americanized pronounciation of Vaquero; the harbringer of the cowboy mystique.
@@64MartinDiV h-a-r-b-i-n-g-e-r
And "Knots" means nautical miles per hour, a commonly used measure of speed at sea.
More exactly "eyes only" means that you're _only_ allowed to read it, and only silently: you can't copy it, take notes about it, read it aloud, etc.
Ramius' nickname was "Vilnius Schoolmaster". Vilnius is the capital of Lithuania, which was still a member of the USSR/CCCP in the 1980s
I love how Sean Connery sounds so Scottish in English, Russian, and even English with a Russian accent, lol. Lots of fun, glad you enjoyed the movie.
I love that you hung in theer and tried to understand all the technical military nautical terms being thrown at you! Also your laugh is adorable dont ever apologize for it! As a fellow Ruski i too had a hard time understanding them, i did recognize the National Anthem of The Soviet Union when they started singing it. This was great to watch you react to. до свидания товарищ
I always loved how they transitioned from Russian to English in this film, then swap back when Americans come on board the Red October.
Growing up when the USSR and USA were....pretty rough with each other and it always felt like there was a threat of nuclear war, this movie really hit home. I wasn't even 15 yet when this came out and was easily pulled into the story (and eventually read the book years later) since felt so relevant and plausible (enough) to really get into.
Also, I used to know a Lithuanian gal, though she never sounded Scottish. :P
HAHAHAHA. Yes I doubt Lituanian comes with a touch of celtic
@@lethaldose2000 "Mosht things in here dont react too well to bdroken Russian."
I remember a kid i went to high school with from the USSR. After hus year here, he want back to a dismantled USSR, restructuring their govt. Must have been crazy for him to experiemce that going down while thousands of miles from Moscow.
It is fun that McTiernan used a similar technique in 13th Warrior...although he drew the transition out over a longer period in that one. McTiernan is such a good director...sad how his career went off the rails.
@@iKvetch558 Oh man, I forgot all about that movie (and I had even read the book too, yet somehow forgot that movie). I may need to revisit it for my channel. One of my Throwback or Second Chance reviews for movies that seems like no one mentions anymore or ones I need to revisit.
Both this movie and Thirteenth Warrior borrowed that technique from the movie Judgement at Nuremberg. Max Schell spoke German and English. While giving a speech before a tribunal, he transitions from German to English as the camera closes in on his mouth. Worth a watch.
Sean Connery has been a Russian from Scotland, an Englishman from Scotland, a Chicago Cop from Scotland and an immortal Spaniard ....from Scotland.
And I accept all of it completely.
I bought this DVD when DVDs were a brand new thing, and I’ve probably seen this movie over 50 times. Sean Connery is not even trying to do an accent makes it better! 👍
I picked up the steel book 4k blu-ray version. It's awesome
I bought this on laser Disc prior to dvd's and watched it so many times ..but then get the dvd and now have it on blu ray...it is a great film worth watching many times.
We got it on vhs when it first came out. I woremthe tape out, and now own it on every format released. Conservative estimate: I've seen it more than 2000 times, and it has never ever gotten old. To me, it's the perfect movie and I always my stand by for something to listen to in the background.
My family had this on VHS as well.
31:19 And Leningrad was called St Peterburg before the Revolution, so, everything old is ...old again.
Such a classic movie! The cast is fantastic. Richard Jordan, Scott Glenn, Sean Connery, Sam Neil, James Earl Hones, Alec Baldwin, and Tim Curry at possibly his least Tim Curryest.
Apparently, when Tom Clancy wrote the book this movie was based on he was paid a little visit by the CIA trying to find out where he got his information. His depiction of the operation of a US Navy attack submarine was SO accurate they thought they had a leak. The reality is that he simply guessed and interpolated from what public information was available.
Didn't it turn out later that he actually _did_ have a source, in the Royal Navy. That's why in the book the Royal Navy is quite prominent, the roles being replaced by US Navy in the film.
Dasha, you were a delight, adding so much more understanding to this movie. I really enjoy your uplifting demeanor, please keep up the good work!
Knots are sea sailing term, from the early days of sailing they needed a way to measure speed on the water, unlike land where they could just measure the Kilometres or Miles. so they had a rope with knots tied at regular intervals, the Knots is like Miles per hour (its actually Nautical Miles per hour)
Thanks for the great reaction.
Great "reaction"! I really enjoyed your insights into the language and Russian culture, Dasha. This is one of my favorite movies.
Great reaction Dasha. I love that you appreciate the effort of they trying to speak russian. It always gives movies a better atmosphere. Germans should talk german in WWII-movies. Colombian drug lords should talk Spanish etc. I love the movie and really like to get you take on it.
Vilnius is the name of the Lithuanian capital. Where Captain Ramius is from.
I first got the book, The Hunt for Red October, in 1988 and it became one of my favourite all-time books. Then it became a movie and I loved the movie. I have been waiting for you to see this movie and I was not disappointed! Well done Dasha!!!
Loved your reaction here. It was fun to see you smile so bright. Bless and be well young lady.
Fun fact: Just about every war movie ever made has had a character named "Jonsey." The Russian names aren't the only stereotypical ones.
Knots is a measure of speed. It means Nautical Miles per hour. Originally, there was a long rope with a literal knot ties at regular intervals. They'd throw something of the ship that would hold position, then see how many "knots" per hour trailed out to see the speed. A knot is about 1.85 kph.
I didn't think about this one before, but you should also take a look at "Moscow on the Hudson."
Coffee! Coffee! Coffee! Coffee!
@@DurkMcGerk I'm so happy to see other fans of that movie...and of that scene! I feel that way sometimes.
@@cshubs great movie. a good reminder that the US is just a country full of immigrants and that is its strength.
So does alien, it's the cat.
"Moscow On The Hudson" is a must-watch for our Ms. Dasha.
"The captain looks very intimidating." Meet Sean Connery. 😎
A "buckeroo" is a slang term for a cowboy, from the Spanish word "vaquero" for a cattle-herder. In this sense, it refers to someone who likes to shoot first and ask questions later.
I guess because the pronounce V as B?
One cute thing: The teddy bears name is Stanley. We know that because he is listed in the credits! 🙂 Awsome movie. Super serious action movie and they added Stanley the teddybear! Love it!
Stanley was also in Die Hard. Argyle tells him to shut up.
Sean Connery in the 70's plays a British guy with a Scottish accent.
Sean Connery in the 90's plays a Russian guy with a Scottish accent.
You have to respect how few fucks this man gave.
Scotland is part of Britain. plays english guy with scottish accent. edit: if you want to edit it i can delete this comment.
Don't forget, in the 80's Sean Connery played an Egyptian guy with a Spanish name and a Scottish accent
@@leesmith9299 There's a world of difference between a Brit and a Scot accent. You should deleter your comment because of that.
@@leesmith9299 You are correct sir.
@@W4rr4X britain has lots of different accents. scottish being one as it is part of britain - actually there are variations of scottish accents. just like there's variations of american/english and probably all nations accents. saying "British guy with a Scottish accent" is like saying "Texan guy with American accent", no inconsistency there as texas is part of america.
Hunt for Red October is one of my favorite movies. Glad to see others enjoy it as much as I did.
The 'Abyssal' on the ocean chart would refer to a very deep feature, an abyss, like a canyon or valley in the ocean floor. Very difficult to locate a submarine that would be sunk there, or to find out it actually isn't there. It's a good location to use for the ruse.
In the book, it wasn't all that hard to go down and investigate the wreckage and that is precisely what they did to convince the Soviets the sub was destroyed. The thing is, the US Navy scuttled one of their own missile subs destined for the scrapyard instead. That's the source of the wreckage they found.
This is one of my favorite movies as a teen, I was super into submarines, especially Russian and German submarines and Uboats. I saw this in the theater
Dasha, I am so happy that you finally watched this movie. I have been waiting for this reaction ever since I came across your channel.
This Movie was based off of a book (fiction) written by Tom Clancy. It was a wonderful book and a wonderful movie. Infact the movie follows the book very well except for the ending. As you probably figured out, this movie takes place during the Cold War in the 80's. The book was released to print in 1984. Tom Clancy actually was investigated by the FBI and CIA because he knew too much about the Cold War, Submarine tactics (both Russian and American) and the technical data. Truth be told, he did a lot of research into the matter and talked with several people in the business I guess you can say, However, some of it, he guessed. Quite correctly I might add.
Some of the Russian sailors in the movie were actual former Russians and didn't want to sing their (old) National Anthem. However many of them did but not enthusiastically. This might be why it sounds bad. Also in that scene you can see some are not singing at all.
I figured that some of the Russian Language was going to be wrong or with bad accents. LOL, that one does not surprise me. What does surprise me is that they Spelled October wrong in the beginning. Especially Sean Connery who is Scottish playing a Russian from Lithuania.
When I saw you happy and smiling about seeing things from Russia and the song just made me smile. I actually starting crying truth be told.
Now I want you to know and to formally say that I DO NOT blame you or Russians in general for the war in the Ukraine atm. I cannot blame you or other Russians anymore than someone can blame me for President Joe Biden. We can love our country and our roots while still disliking the leaders, politics and direction the country seams to go. I know this is really an American Idea but I think you have been away from Communism long enough that you understand what I mean. Please Know that I support you and hope your families on both sides of the conflict survive and are blessed. I pray for them.
This is easily one of my favorite reaction vids you’ve done so far. Thanks!
This is one of my favorite movies, and I thought I'd never find out what the untranslated (even with the captions on) Russian lines were. Thank you for reacting to this!
I have to say I have been impressed. Your reactions are intelligent, you ask the right questions. I am sure others have suggested Clockwork Orange.
What's really cool about the REd October movie is the placement of Courtney B. Vance as Seaman Jones. It was unusual to have a black person in such an intelligent and critical role for a major Hollywood movie. They took a chance back then to portray his character using a black actor. I guess having such heavyweights as Sean Connery, Sam Neill, Alec Balwin, and James Earl Jones would make it go unnoticed.
And Vance did a fantastic job with the role. Jones's race isn't described in the book, so it could have been anything anyway, but Jones needed the right combo of intelligence, cool, and attitude, and Vance absolutely nailed it. I've always enjoyed his performance. And after seeing James Earl Jones as Admiral Greer, I could never accept anyone else in the role.
Clancy said that he had always envisioned Jonsie as a blond surfer dude, until this movie came out...henceforth he was black.
Kinda like how the original casting of Sean Connery as James Bond turned him Scottish.
@@donsample1002 and in the next books, Jones became black.
I never comment on the looks of people I follow on TH-cam because I don't want them to think that it's why I follow them. But WOW. She is as beautiful as she is sweet. Dasha is BEYOND gorgeous.
It depends how old you are. If you're in your 20s, it's ok. If you're 50+, it's pretty creepy.
Saw this when it first came out in theatres. I've seen it countless times and it's one of my favorites. Thanks to you this is the first time I actually have an idea of what the songs are about. They're great to listen to but I never knew what they were singing about. Thanks, Dasha!!
I loved your reactions and your inner view of your homelands side of this. I wish I could talk to your in person about everything going on right now. Thanks for sharing this !
"Bottom the boat" would be the concept of diving deeper and running at lower speeds in order to
1) Reach deep enough that a change in the temperature of the water changes, creating a situation where it is harder to detect the Red October with sound-guided weapons (torpedoes) or
2) Getting close to the 'ocean floor', where Red October's speed and size would be broken up by the surrounding rock formations, again making it harder to detect by sound-guided weapons.
It would depend on the situation as to which reason you would do it. The biggest factor would be the amount of time you had (Which they didn't have due to the closeness of the weapon entering the water) and the amount of space you had around you (which they didn't have since they were in a 'trench') combined with depth of the water in general as well as time of year and currents that create different layers of water temperature to consider. To "bottom the boat" would be considered an "emergency evasion tactic" that couldn't be counted on to work all the time.
#2 is easy to understand and dangerous. #1 most wouldn't think of, that there are rivers in the ocean where sound can travel for thousands of miles. Unless you were a whale that loved to sing you wouldn't really know the sweet spot. Being a captain to know it and avoid it. I think there is the same in the atmosphere although I forget how they call those. Nuclear launch detection made easy. The ocean ones I'm looking up called sound channels. I forget which one was found first but knowing one lead to people thinking there was similar, turns out they were right.
I knew, forgot, and it's not really useful or need to know. It's just in there. Why? I dunno, but it would be nice if somebody else knew too. So if I forget I can just ask. lol
This is such a wonderful reaction. You had me smiling all the way through :-)
This movie came out just before the fall of the Soviet Union and a few years before the Internet. Russia was still a bit of a mystery to a lot of Westerners and movies weren't a great source for nuanced depictions of foreign cultures. Hollywood has improved somewhat on its use of foreign language, foreign actors and accents. Before that, most of us hardly knew what was authentic anyway.
Talk to a non-Mexican about Hollywood's Spanish-speaking actors representing non-Mexican Spanish roles. 😁
fall of the Soviet Union? Awkward, awkward, given current events!
@@glochidiatus Yes, it all feels very awkward right now. But that's how many have referred to it for 30 years. I lived in Ukraine for a few years just after this movie, Rambo, Rocky IV and others came out. I heard how some felt about our depictions of their society then and most of them just laughed it off. The current invasion sucks and hope the best for Ukraine especially - but I didn't really intend to comment on it here.
@@vectorbeam People forget or with younger generations just don't realise how cut off from the world the USSR was, very few Europeans/Americans would have met any one who was Russian, there were so many restrictions on freedom back then. Its truly disturbing that Putin seems to want to go back to those days.
@@glochidiatus I would compare the lack of transparency to North Korea today
I enjoyed this reaction because you had so much fun doing it.
Невероватно колико је овај избор филма заправо интелигентан потез у овом моменту. Поздрав из Србије, Дашо.
When the book was being written the author talked to some Russian Americans on how to write the Russian part! It came on in 1986 during the Cold War!
This is the reaction we all have been waiting for!! Another good sub movie is Crimson Tide (although more focused on US than Russian). Sum of All Fears has a lot of Russians in it and is also Tom Clancy.
Down Periscope (1996) might also be a good film for Dasha to review since it is less tense and more American focused.
Crimson Tide is NOT a good sub movie. Anyone who spent time on subs hates it, it's just too fake.
"The Sum of all Fears" has the best quote by Tom Clancy ever in the DVD commentary, which summed up the movie perfectly. "I'm Tom Clancy, and I wrote the book they ignored."
I just really like those movies. Are they accurate to the book or what it's like to be on a sub probably not. Very entertaining to me :)
@@iluvyummywaffles it's not too far off. No big glass plot screens, and sonar department is like 20 people instead of 2. Also, we didn't use computers to analyze noises, we did it in our heads.
A favorite movie of mine. Loved having a reaction and perspective of someone looking at it from your angle. Thank you Dasha!
15:40 reading the book can really help answer a lot of the questions people have about this movie.
In particular, Sonarman Jones's character is much better flushed out in the book. There, he was studying at Cal Tech when he was expelled for a prank gone wrong. He enlisted in the Navy because of that. That is why he is able to match wits with the computer and figure out that the noise he heard was the submarine.
If I recall correctly, the cook was actually GRU (the intelligence apparatus of the Soviet Armed Forces) as opposed to KGB.
The movie also missed one of my favorite moments from the book. The XO (2nd in command) of the Dallas was an African-American from Harlem. At one point one of the defecting officers mentions to him that they were taught all American officers were chosen from the ruling class and the hard work was performed by those from the working class and the XO basically, in his thickest Harlem accent, sarcastically said, "That's true."
I also found it interesting in the book, the submarine was named for a tractor factory which in turn had been named for the October Revolution.
Don't feel bad about not understanding the technical jargon. My wife is a native English speaker and an engineer and I had to explain a lot of this to her when we first watched it.
Spoiler Warning!
In the novel the Enterprise is replaced by the Royal Navy carrier HMS "Invincible".
Also Ramius's decision to defect to the United States is also fleshed out more in the book. It goes much farther than him not wanting to use new technology to start a war. His decisions are more personal than that.
I remember when the book came out, it seemed like half the people on their lunchbreaks, in the airports and on the beach or by the pool were reading it. This book was everywhere!
@@marcziegenhain8420that kinda pissed me off tbh. Because THEY were the ones that got him on the red October. But I understand that for logistical reasons they couldn’t put them in AND it would a long movie (which is the last thing that studios would want to make).
"The Horse Whisperer" is a film I'd highly recommend. As a bonus, Sam Neill gets to see Montana. :-)
If you like submarine movies you may want to watch 'Crimson Tide', 'Das Boot', or 'K-19: The Widowmaker'. The last one is based on a true story about a nuclear accident onboard a soviet sub. It is a good but tough movie.
I love this! My wife is Japanese, so when we watch Japanese movies & anime she's always correcting the subtitles..lol
7:30 Dasha, the phrase you're looking for is "national anthem". I remember reading that the cast included former Russians as extras, but they refused to sing the Soviet anthem.
Sean Connery is a very serious actor, he gets inside his character, even portraying a Russian.
About halfway through so far, and enjoying. To answer a couple of things: "knots" are a reference to speed of a ship, basically nautical miles per hour. As to the political officer's name, the book and movie were both made in the 80's, so it's pretty much a wild coincidence.
Perhaps not. In the 1980's Vladimir Putin was a spy master working out of the Soviet Consulate in San Francisco. He was quite well known to the FBI and very closely watched and monitored.
There is a video floating around You Tube, all about him produced in the 1980s on him.
Then again, Putin is not an uncommon name in Russia.
@@erictaylor5462 And I’d like to add, that Tom Clancy was very well connected to the intelligence community. That’s why is books are so believable: he knew the right people to ask. It’s conceivable he knew of staff at that consulate, perhaps even Putin himself.
@@davidolden971 I'm not so sure he was well connected to the Soviet intelligence community.
He was very good about taking little bits of seemingly unconnected bits of information and connecting them together.
Sometimes this even happened by "accident." He got his hands on quite a bit of information that was not exactly classified while researching for Red October and from there made some guesses that he put in his book that turned out to not only be right but also highly classified.
So much so that he got some visits from the FBI.
It wasn't that he was publishing information that he shouldn't. He was just very good at connecting the dots.
Scary good. It was one of the things that made his novels so authentic. Though personally I thought his best work was the early stuff. I think he got a bit lazy later in his career.
I did enjoy Without Remorse. Especially how he disposed of the human guys who killed his girlfriend. Brutal.
@@erictaylor5462 I did not say connected to the Soviet intelligence community.
I'm so glad I decided to subscribe to your channel. Be safe
9:48 "This is so complicated." Tom Clancy books are usually very technical, and they kept that essence in this movie. The later movie adaptations have a little less jargon.
And their worse off because of that and when they change storylines due to political correctness.
I've Watched this movie numerous times, but u have added a whole new dimension, thank u
My parents played this movie for their Ukrainian friends and all of them looked at each other during Sean Connery's lines with an expression of, "What in the world is he saying?" Which is basically how I felt when Connery spoke the English lines, to be fair.
Also, Vilnius is the capital of Lithuania, which was part of the USSR at the time, so "Vilnius Nastavnic" was the schoolmaster from Vilnius.
Yeah, but its made for Americans isn't it? Like they're going to know the difference.
@@edinscot56789 -- Некоторые американцы двуязычны.
You hire Sean Connery, you get his Scottish accent for free.
@@edinscot56789 A few of us know where things are. For the ones that don’t, it doesn’t matter anyway.
Excellent perspective! I enjoyed every minute of this reaction! Cheers!
"Okay, the said Red October but October they did not spell correct" with that sad look on your face. That was cute and funny. LOL
Maybe she didn't realize it was made for an English speaking audience. It did actually sound out as "October" using the Russian alphabet...only Russians don't say October in the same way as English speakers.
33:18 this is the best moment for me "and we heard the stories of the pick up truck with the wife and rabbits" so good, thank you, subscribed
At the beginning, when Captain Ramius secures both keys, I was not convinced if he was going to be defecting or if he was going to attack. This was a really great film!
Indeed, that really does make you wonder, since if he is defecting why _shouldn't_ he let the doctor take the other key?
I think that’s one of the ways that the movie is superior to the book. The book makes it clear very early on he’s defecting, but in the movie… my first time I wasn’t sure until he responded with “One Ping Only.”
@@SchneeflockeMonsoonI’m not sure if I agree or disagree but in my opinion they did kinda over complicate some things that weren’t so complicated in the book (I understand that it would be boring and uninteresting that way but still). They also imo kinda made a plot hole with the spy who was disguised as a cook (in the book you are told that he was planted in the sub by the KGB OR GRU I don’t know) and while I think they did a good job of making him mysterious and not too obvious but they somewhat didn’t show him much that the audience would remember that he was there and would think that he came out of nowhere randomly.
@@mohammedashian8094
They do mention the KGB has spies on the ship early on, and lay some quiet hints. When Ramius takes the key, his witness is the Cook’s Assistant. When he makes his announcement, the cook reacts differently. And I believe you can see him turn back during the evacuation, but only in the background.
True, the book does some stuff better, many things even, but the mystery of it Ramius is defecting or not isn’t much of a mystery in the book.
Dasha, Vilnius is a city in Lithuania, where the Captain's character is from.
Glad you enjoyed this movie. I was in the US Navy submarine service when this movie was made. It's pretty accuate, but there were some 'hollywood' moments... The Soviet navy was our #1 rival in those days, and there were several "close calls" in those years.
If you are interested in Cold War era submarine espionage true stories, I highly recommend the book "Blind Man's Bluff".
The Hollywood moments (while enjoyable and thrilling) are the reasons that I prefer the book which goes as long as it needs to be to tell it properly (even with the details that I was practically salivating at 😂).
Great reaction! 👍 And thank you for translating for us.
"The Russian was shitty" is one of your best comments! Very glad you watched and reviewed this movie. It is one of my favorite Tom Clancy movie adaptations. My other two favorites are "Patriot Games" & "Clear and Present Danger".
The place they told Ramius to take his sub is called the Laurentian Abyss. It's a 4 mile deep valley in the ocean floor and is so deep that only special deepwater ships can go down that far. Normal submarines would be crushed by the water pressure if they tried. Abyss is a good word to know. Google Translate says it's бездна in Russian (if that helps).
The first American Navy ship Ryan was flown to was an aircraft carrier. That's why they were smoking, it's on the water, not under. American aircraft carriers are enormous and have a crew of up to 5000.
Russia and the US have mostly two types of submarines; attack subs (like the Dallas) and nuclear ballistic missle subs, nicknamed "boomers" (like the Red October). The "boomers" are built to be very quiet and avoid detection at all cost. They're big and not very maneuverable. The attack subs are designed to hunt "boomers" and other surface ships. They are smaller, faster, and more maneuverable. Submariners are some of the best trained in the military because there is no room for error.
Your reaction was by far one of your best! Keep up the good work!
‘Patriot Games’ and ‘Clear and Present Danger’ are both great films I would recommend to anyone
"Clear and Present Danger" is a very good movie and a great book.
My favorite Jack Ryan movie is definitely *_CLEAR and PRESENT DANGER_* all the way, specifically for its semi-realistic "Secret War premise", and that ambush scene, amazing.
The attack subs are called Hunter/Killers, i believe.
My father was a submarinerist in the Portuguese Navy, which might explain my fascination with sub thrillers.
@@DemonBoy3223 I recommend you to read the book. That "secret war" thing you liked in the movie (wich its the best part and the main plot) it is expanded much much further in the book obviously. It has a lot of plots and subplots and its brilliant written in my opinion and Clancy closed all of them flawless. As i said, a great book.
Dasha, you have the cutest personality!!!❤
Dasha, this movie was the beginning of a series of movies featuring the character Jack Ryan (ALec Baldwin). Unlike "Saving Private Ryan" where you would fight the enemy directly in combat. Author Tom Clancy developed Jack Ryan as a person who would battle his enemies in a psychological and ideological manner. Essentially the Cold War was very little combat and loads of political posturing. All in the attempts to avert war. War would be Nuclear and fighting that type of war would mean the end of us all. Ahhh. Let's not do that.
It's Alec Baldwin with a 'c', which is ironically closer to the eastern European name Olek 😅
Yah Tom Clancy was a great writer - the novels are often even better to read than the films adapted from them.
Patriot Games especially makes way more sense in the novel - somethings are properly explained in the film where they just seem to be left entirely to the audience to guess at in the film.
Also Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger were all meant to have Alec Baldwin in them, just as they all have James Earl Jones in them.
Either a scheduling conflict came up or he asked for more money - the main point is that the change to Harrison Ford was unplanned.
That being said HF does the role of Jack Ryan so damn well even if he does look a bit too old for the part.
@@mnomadvfx I always thought Harrison Ford looked too old for the part in, "Clear and Present Danger".
@@mnomadvfx The producers wanted a more recognizable face which is why they canned Alec Baldwin
@@mnomadvfxActually Ford only starred in two of the five Ryan movies. Baldwin was Red October, Ford in Patriot Games & Clear and Present Danger, Affleck in Sum of all Fears, and Pine in Shadow Recruit.
Now, of course, we have the tv show as well starring John Krasinski.
Yes, let's not do that. Scariest times I've seen since I was eleven with the Cuban missile crisis.
You might be interested in 'The Russia House' which is also from 1990 and also stars Sean Connery.
Having grown up during the Cold War, and being in the Air Force during that time, I've always wanted to see a Russian react to this film, as it was made when Russia was still the Soviet Union, and for the most part, Russians were not allowed to travel to the USA, and few Americans were allowed to travel to the Soviet Union. Also, the Internet was nothing like it is today, so there was very little information that we knew about each other's country.
Back then, the only things we knew about Russia, were what little we heard on the news (I recall the Soviet run news agency was called Tass), or what we could find in books: now, we can look at webcams, or see videos on here, or even visit, just as we could travel anyplace else...except maybe North Korea...
Different times.
Another such film you may like to see, is one of Robin Williams's first: "Moscow On The Hudson". A fantastic film, that seems to have been forgotten. There was also an early Schwarzenegger film called "Red Heat", that you may like, which made history at the time, because not only were some scenes filmed in Moscow, but it was the first time that foreign cameras were allowed to film in Red Square.
Edit: a few more good ones, if you haven't seen them, are:
Dr. Strangelove (Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying, And Love The Bomb)
Atomic Blonde
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (based on a 1960's tv series)
🙂
I'm British and I went to the Soviet Union for a school history holiday in 1986(?), so it WAS possible to go, it's just that not many people wanted to. Not saying that it gave me anygreat insights into the Russian people though, since everything was very controlled. We were followed EVERYWHERE: 'spot the KGB guy' became our substitute for "I Spy..."
Thanks so much for such a great reaction and your unique point of view!
"A little revolution now and then is a good thing" is actually a quote from Thomas Jefferson, a leader during the American Revolution. Ramius led a small revolution himself doing what he did, in a ship named after the Russian Revolution.
I liked how you translated whenever people were speaking Russian. It showed that some research was done, and that people were not just mouthing off words that made no sense.
Oh, I love this movie, and I loved your reaction to it :) I wish I could like it twice. You're fun to watch at any time, but especially with this one. Love getting your insights into typical Russia - and the songs! I like that touch, that the songs fit. I never knew that, and I've watched this movie many times (I'm old enough that I saw it in the theater). Thank you!
When the Russian characters were speaking English, did the accents sound good? I can't remember if you mentioned that... Sean Connery (Ramius) pretty much uses his native Scottish accent no matter what character he's playing :)
Dasha, it doesn't seem to matter what film you watch you just get right into with passion, and that is great to see from a young lady nowadays.x Good film Brilliant reaction/review. Cheer's 🇬🇧
You're a great reactor! It was fun watching you trying to figure out American English slang. I am trying to learn Russian and know I will equally be confused by some terms 😝
This is the best reaction to this movie that I have ever seen. Well done Dasha. You are awesome.
37:30 This kind of movie is called a "thriller," which is something like a very tense mystery story.
Love your explanations, and it's great to see how someone from a younger generation reacts to watching a movie which is set in the Cold War.
And thanks for the comments on the Russian. I figured it wasn't accurate or mumbled, and thanks for confirming it. :-D
Good one! Keep it up!
So cool to see and hear Dasha's take on this cold war classic. Also impressive, as usual, how she comprehends what is going on in a rather complicated movie. Especially how she got the reactions from the crew after they were evacuated.
I recommend Firefox. I really think you will appreciate how the Russians are portrayed and it is one of the best executed spy movies. A bit campy at times, but amazing nonetheless.
Another cool cold war movie
The main reason i remember this, is horrible Clint Eastwood's russian accent, when he says "выпуститe собаку" (unleash the dog). Horror on its own :-D
"Well, this is a very BIG accident you know!" - Dasha BEST COMMENT EVER !!!!!! YOU HAVE ME LAUGHING !!!!!! : ) : ) : ) This was a great reaction video Dasha .... I enjoyed it.
So the book/film was very loosely based on true events surrounding a mutiny on the Soviet Burevestnik-class anti-submarine frigate that was led by a political officer Valery Sablin. I remember reading the book and getting very excited about the film. Saw it twice opening weekend. The Soviet Union was still a few years away from collapsing, so the story was very compelling. Which makes Ramius last line a bit prophetic since the coup and the collapse happened about a year and a half later. Thank you for reacting to this. 1 Knot = 1.15 MPH =1.852 KPH
Dasha I loved watching this one with you, there isn't a better person to watch it with, I'm so glad you loved it!!!!!!!
I just read this book recently. It's the first of a number of books by Tom Clancy following Jack Ryan through various stages of the Cold War.
The song they were singing was the Soviet Union national anthem.
Ironically, the second book in the series takes place chronilogically before the first.
Had fun watching your video. Love your accent... Will be watching again.. За здоровье!
There's like four more movies based on characters created by Tom Clancy and all of them are good. The Hunt for Red October is one of the films based on Clancy's novels and it has to do with the main character, Jack Ryan which is played by four different actors. Among the films after this film are Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger, The Sum of All Fears and Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit.
What a thoughtful and timely choice. Great reaction.
'Knots of what?' Watch "Master and Commander" for a visual representation of what nautical knots mean. Thank you for your reactions. Especially this one, your reactions are precious and valuable as someone who grew up with some of the references. Blessings to you Dasha.
