Crimson Tide

Crimson Tide is one of the many American propaganda films which despite some very good acting, has a stupid story. One thing that the film proves is Dictatorship exists in the West, something that I have personally experienced. Crimson Tide is an old movie from 1995 with the late Gene Hackman as the lead role. It also has Denzel Washington, whom is known to every movie buff in the world and Dzundza (Basic Instinct, The Deer Hunter, the latter is a stupid, overrated movie!). I'm not going to ruin the movie in case you haven't seen it but it becomes really stupid and absurd when the American submarine deflects all the torpedoes fired by a Russian submarine but then easily destroys the very same submarine using the same method: Firing torpedoes at the enemy submarine! 
Going back to the moral of the story(!), the dictatorship in the West, I must say that it is easily seen in daily life, particularly at work. I was going to have a post under my series Mindless Retards at Work but then thought I should post it here. 

The USS Alabama dodges all the Russian torpedoes but kills the very same submarine, easily, with the same tactic! 

If you criticize someone for their mistake, their poor performance or similar, you're receiving severe backlash. I'll give an example of my previous job, where I was basically laid off due to too much criticism that I directed toward others, it seems. I must clarify that I'm better off on many levels now that I'm at this job and if I can keep my mouth shut, I will be able to work long enough to learn a lot and get more education to work my last years somewhere better. Nevertheless this is what happened in the previous workplace: Some useless, ignorant dickheads used All-around-weld sign for every single welding symbol they drew, even if it was not an all-around-weld, simply because these idiots didn't know what weld around a component means! When I mentioned that to their asshole boss, he disagreed, didn't accept that he was wrong and said: Agree to disagree! There're lots of these animals in Canada who have the least amount of tolerance for being criticized and at the same time the least amount of knowledge in the area they claim they are experts in! The funny thing is I lost many job opportunities, many years ago, when I came to Canada first, for simply not having Canadian experience! Canadian experience my ass! Canadian experience means being ignorant and simply having a job because of knowing someone and still after years of working like a stupid donkey, making obvious and stupid mistakes! That's the Canadian experience!

A weld-all-around symbol, as you can see here, a circle on the intersection of the line and the arrow, indicates that, whatever weld being deposited, here a fillet weld, shall be deposited the same way all around the object but that doesn't mean it shall be used for every weld and that's what these ugly baboons had difficulty understanding! 

Going back to the movie, Hackman's character, the captain of the submarine, is about to do something really stupid, when the Denzel's, the Executive Officer stands up to him. That is where the war against the dictator starts. The dictator clearly says: We're not here to practice democracy. We're here to preserve it! 

The dictator is eventually proven wrong but it costs a lot. 

The movie has all the fake, propaganda-like excitement to it. Having seen Das Boot, one of the best movies in the war genre, Crimson Tide is nothing, compared to it and it's obvious that they copied many scenes from that masterpiece. This is most likely loved by the average Americans, because, as usual, the movie shows how strong Americans are and how weak their enemy is! Worth watching once and that's only because of the great acting by two legends of cinema. What Crimson Tide exactly means, I still don't know!
