    A good naval battle movie is like two martial arts masters sparring with each other, from hiding their deadly holes to find each other's flaws, to winning the last blow and then being counterattacked, the calm atmosphere makes people hold their breath, and the tense atmosphere is like walking on thin ice. Perhaps anti-war is the ending that the public expects, but it is the most impossible reality, and it is also the most difficult to beautify the shortcomings of war...

    I still remember the situation after watching it in junior high school, and I still have a fresh memory of the two captains of the United States and Germany. I can't remember the title of the movie. Finally found the source for this video yesterday. Revisited today. It's so forgettable! Two wily captains, while condemning the war, battled their wits and courage for their masters. It's hard to imagine this is a 1957 movie. At that time, it should be a "blockbuster" with a large investment. Many...

    Adapted from a true story, the ending of u405 is not such a big group. The U.S. destroyer first killed the U-boat deck gun crew with naval guns, and then the deck gun crew was blown away together with the deck guns. After the destroyer hit the U-boat, it commanded Thomson typewriters, grenades, throwing knives, empty ammunition boxes and submarines. The crew fought hand-to-hand. 33 people in the U-boat crew, including the captain, were killed in action. The rest of the crew used white flares to...

    I watched it when I was a kid, and there are a few scenes that impressed me a lot. It was from this movie that I fell in love with modern naval warfare movies, because it was submarine warfare. 30 years later, on January 13, 2019, the second brush, the special effects are outdated, but still...

    We cut off a finger, and you are dead; you got on our boat and put on our uniform. Still, this allegory of war is brilliant, making up for the suspense with technology and humanity. Captain Mitchum, fairy-tale wise, brave and handsome. top...

    Pretending to be dead and deceiving corpses is a skill, and the picture of depth charges entering the water is so beautiful... The dialogue at the end of the film made me feel like I lost, and when people wrote about CP interaction before, it really made me blush...

The Enemy Below quotes

  • Doctor: I guess you're finding the Sun kind of hard to take, after the North Atlantic.

    Captain Murrell: Oh, it doesn't matter. It's always either too cold or too hot, wherever there's a war on.

  • Doctor: Well, in time we'll all get back to our own stuff again. The war will get swallowed up, and seem like it never happened.

    Captain Murrell: Yes, but it won't be the same as it was. We won't have that feeling of permanency that we had before. We've learned a hard truth.

    Doctor: How do you mean?

    Captain Murrell: That there's no end to misery and destruction. You cut the head off a snake, and it grows another one. You cut that one off, and you find another. You can't kill it, because it's something within ourselves. You can call it the enemy if you want to, but it's part of us; we're all men.
