Hymm of The Red October

visit my blog-http://www.eujinmsia.blogspot.com/
The Hunt for Red October was inspired by two real incidents. In 1961, Soviet Navy submarine captain Jonas Pleškys, a Lithuanian, sailed his vessel from Klaipėda to Gotland in Sweden, not the planned destination of Tallinn. The Soviet authorities sentenced him in his absence to death by firing squad, but the CIA hid him, first in Guatemala and later in the United States.

On November 8, 1975, the Soviet Navy frigate Storozhevoy mutinied. At the time, the Western powers believed it was an attempt to defect from Latvia to the Swedish island of Gotland. The mutiny was led by the ship's Political Officer, Captain Valery Sablin. The mutiny was unsuccessful, and Sablin was captured, court-martialed, and executed.

The Hunt for Red October is a 1990 film based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Tom Clancy. It was directed by John McTiernan and stars Sean Connery as Captain Marko Ramius and Alec Baldwin as Jack Ryan.

The Hunt for Red October received negative critical reviews from many major publications upon its theatrical release but was one of the top grossing movies of the year, grossing $122 million in North America and $200 million worldwide. The film won the Academy Award for Sound Editing in 1991.

BIG RUSSIAN SUB.

Ranks with the Imperial March from Star Wars as one of the best film soundtracks ever. It's a truism that it's the totalitarian states that have the best music.

[Borisimo90]

truly epic

[bennedictmacarthur]

Great movie although I remember reading that Sean Connery started out trying to speak with a Russian accent and then pretty much just said the words with his normal Scottish accent. Apparently came second in a poll of "worst on-screen accents", only being beaten by Dick Van Dyke's "cockney" accent in Mary Poppins :)

@MrDzeris

Sources are many ... use Library too..

[MrDzeris]

@HK379 As you obviously have searched enough, you sure can point to a some source. I honestly believe you forgot to do that by a pure accident, resourceful and knowledgeable person as you are.

@MrDzeris

you have not searched enough . its a Russian naval march . before it was a Soviet one , the melody was used in the Imperial one . search , find out . dont lie .

[MrDzeris]

@Polmir123 Ofc it is "normal" Russian. Do you think a "normal" Russian text can be written in Rusiia itself only |?

[MrDzeris]

@HK379 It seems you "simply know", so care to point at the source ? :P (Because any available source, starting from Wiki, points back to the movie :)

Also, if you would know USSR songs, this one is a kind of inconsistent to be an original.
