First off, for those who did not see the movie or have forgotten about it, it’s about a Soviet submarine captain who decided to defect to the USA. Ramius is the captain of the soviet’s newest submarine that’s capable of holding large amounts of nukes and quiet enough to sneak into US coasts without detection. Ramius, is the only one who knows of his own plan to defect in the beginning. He then makes his plan known to core members on the sub who go along with the plan. However, there remains two problems. The rest crew can never know of this plan to defect or else there may be mutiny (mass unrest) and. Now one of the most brilliant parts of the movie IMO was Ramius’s plan to get his crew off of the submarine without the risk of letting the crew (excluding the core) know about the plan.
Ramius had his submarine engineer create a nuclear problem within the submarine and this forced the rest of the crew who were not in the loop to immediately abandon the sub and be rescued by a nearby American warship.
If you look at the parallels with the current situation, I think you can view the American public as the regular crew on board the Red October. The nuclear problem was something that completely united the crew to do the correct thing and get off the boat to defect to the USA (the good side in our case) whether they agreed with defection or not. I believe the mass defection in the movie parallels the “Great Awakening” for our present world.
I never really thought there would be a mass awakening from a revelation of pedophilia. It might be a part of it, but I don’t think it’s the whole picture. What Trump wants before his return, I believe, is to unite the entire country into one side. They will love the ultimate results, (defection as per the movie but something else in real life) but many will have many mental blocks about getting there so there must be something that firmly turns them to the right side. Is this going to be a “nuclear event” like the movie in combination with tales of corruption and pedophilia? I can’t say for sure yet.
I will explain what I think the role Zelensky has in this “movie” Red October in a later post if there’s any interest in this. And this post has gotten long.
Most of Ramius' officers were in on the plan from the start.
Recall after Ramius killed the political officer (interesting imagery), they got together over a meal to discuss this deviation from their plan.
Carry on. :)
Well, they were in on it very on in the movie. But nobody except for Ramius knew of his plan until after the death of the officer if my memory serves me right.
