film Review

Based on a true incident in 2000 about the sinking disaster of the Kursk, the writer Robert Rodat recounted the unforgettable story of the Russians about the crew members who had struggled to survive inside the ship. Kursk is gradually sinking into the ocean. Set in the early days of President Vladimir Putin's inauguration, Robert Rodat's script begins with a working-class wedding.

After the wedding, the men left for scheduled naval drills, inside their submarine - Kursk (preparing to shoot a few test rockets). But the ship's torpedo had an early fault, blowing most of the bow. All were sacrificed, leaving only nearly two dozen sailors that an officer survived, the only place that could survive was the depleted depleted chamber and oxygen. Officer Mikhail Kalekov (Matthias Schoenaerts) will be the spiritual leader in the disaster. He also has a pregnant wife, Tanya Averina (Lea Seydoux) and a child waiting for him to return.

Outside, the Russian government flatly rejected offers of bailout from Norway and Britain. The heads of Russia have made a rigid decision and made the rescue more complex and extremely difficult than ever.

Operation Submarine (Kursk) is a film about submarines but there is no battle. Instead, it was all told mostly a waiting game, a story of affectionate and filial heroes and "hard-boiled" officials. That led Vinterberg to create a story line cut between three separate stories.

The story of the Kursk submarine is also divided into three distinct parts, guided by three different perspectives, from the trapped crew members, from Russian government officials and emotions. of ordinary people looking forward to the news. From the introduction to the daily life of Russian Navy soldiers, the film will lead viewers to the Kursk submarine disaster, which led to the explosion and rescue efforts of the British and Norwegian Navy.

Though based on a true fact, Kursk is not a monotonous documentary. The film tells a humane story about how people both have to overcome bureaucratic obstacles from the government and have to fight with nature to gain opportunities for life.

Overall, the film is very realistic re-enactment of the moments that people towards disaster are very clear, this is a movie that is picky viewers and only really for those who love to learn history, learn about The moment happened and felt about it.
