    The original West German 1981 film, a template for the submarine film. The best version considered to be the 210-minute director's cut. Such a long film, and almost all the scenes are in a small submarine space, so it is not boring. There is tension and relaxation, and the rhythm is...

    There's no ideological preaching, and it's not as grand and hormonally aggressive as in other films. The war here is dull, gloomy, and hopeless. Watching me for four hours,...

    For three and a half hours, I saw the submarine rushing out of the water like a Flying Dutchman several times. For more than 20 hours, it rushed out from the seabed at a depth of more than 200 meters. When I returned to the dock, it was easily gone. The captain was also watching. After it sank, he vomited blood and fell down. The crazy Yoan, a reporter who is already a sailor, a dedicated chief engineer... PS The spray painting on the ship is so...

    Classic, I didn't expect it to be a movie made in 1981. Compared with him, the u571 in the back is hard to match. The tense atmosphere, the repeated suspense, the nuanced portrayal of the characters' hearts, and the abrupt ending is also very meaningful. Although it is a Nazi submarine, it is still touching, and it is indeed worth the five-star...

    Three and a half hours to read in one go, very real! It took a lot of hard work to make this film 30 years ago. Creating the claustrophobia in the submarine was a success, and the ending was speechless, escaping the bottom of the sea, thinking it was about to end in victory, but in the end, it was impossible to escape death. War is waiting for the arrival of death, so cruel, every day alive is...

    It is indeed a good film with tension, although its length is a big test for me. Are you romantically sensitive? This sentence of the captain at the beginning of the film made a deep impression on...

    The unedited version is like a documentary, recording the story of almost every crew member on the U96. Most of the time it was a cramped, cramped, lightless, airtight environment. It is also a very real reflection that launching war is the biggest mistake of mankind. The captain is a real person and served as a consultant for the film. He was sentenced to one year for his defeat in World War II. I really like the ending of this film. It wasn't a Hollywood-style reunion, and it didn't say that...

    The patriotic little brothers were fooled in one battle, as if they were a submarine soldier and the lice crawled outside, indicating that there are already many 1v2 The classic battle of destroyers and submarines smuggled into the Strait of Gibraltar ended like...

    I watched this 293min movie in four days. By the end of the film, he has become close friends with vivid faces. I can't forget the crew members' efforts to save themselves in a desperate situation, let alone the captain's explosion at the moment of escape. Adhering to the will to survive and the desire for freedom, as long as there is still the last glimmer of hope, never give up - the film's moral in this regard is no less than "The Shawshank...

    real war

    Recently, I reviewed a number of World War II films in one breath, mainly made by the United States, Germany, and Japan. Overall, I feel that the United States and Germany are relatively objective, and Japan still does not forget to beautify its image of jihad.

    The film is 4 hours long, but it...

    War is nothing but boring and cruel

    "From the Bottom of the Sea," a five-hour unedited film, I spent a week watching this three-hour cut. This may be the most realistic movie about war I have ever seen. Although the movie depicts the preparations for war and the activities between the crew, it further sublimates the war. The...

Das Boot quotes

  • [Werner takes pictures of the watch officers on the conning tower]

    Captain: Take pictures of the crew returning, not putting out to sea.

    Lt. Werner: Why?

    Captain: They'll have grown beards by then. It would shame the Tommies to see mere boys give them Hell. Baby faces. Ones that should still suck mama's breast.

    [pause]

    Captain: I feel ancient around these kids, like I'm on some Children's Crusade.

  • [U-96 puts to sea among cheering crowds. Thomsen pulls up in his car]
