      This video is my memory

      In my memory, this was the first time I went to the cinema to watch a movie. I remember when I was only 6 years old, I remember when I was just in elementary school, I remember that the People's Cinema had not been demolished, I remember that my mother brought my brother with me, and I also remember that It was summer, and I was young at that time. I didn’t know anything about the history of World War II, and I didn’t know much about the history of the Allied and German submarine wars. The...

      The group of people in the submarine

      The recruits in the company had organized the viewing, and it was very exciting. At that time, I felt that the group of people in the submarine was very amazing. There are two major factors, physical, psychological, and ordinary people can't do it. Long voyage and short voyage are both a test, but I heard that life is still very good, and the food and accommodation are of high standards. This group of people can be regarded as unsung heroes, and they will not see the sun for half a year. It...

      can't say i don't know

      With their warship sunk by the enemy, Taylor's group of commandos captured one of the enemy's submarines. When he first became captain, Taylor always said, "I don't know, don't ask me, I don't know..." So other comrades didn't take him seriously because it didn't look like him at all. a captain. However, the chief told him directly in private, don't say you don't know, this will kill all the brothers. You are the captain, you are bold, you know everything, you know how to lead us,...

      American personal hero movie

      War has no passion, it is ruthless. Movies beautify history and give the audience a suitable point to understand this historical event. It is far less cruel and ruthless than reality. There are no grievances under the war. Human nature is greedy, and it is all for survival. This movie is just average, but I know Matthew McConaughey, so I watched it. Remembering history, peace is the bright sunshine.

      But it's still a good old movie. It's an adaptation of this kind of subject matter....

      The story told by Dahlgren's "Hunting U-571" is not complicated, there is not much discussion about human nature, and there is no reflection on war, it is more like a man's transformation history, an inspirational growth from second-in-command to...

    1:1 standard size construction submarine

    In order to be realistic, the director asked two landscaping experts to be responsible for building the small German submarine and the American Type S submarine for World War II respectively. However, because there are few photos of the S-type submarine, the military unit refused to leak the internal structure diagram for safety reasons, which made the plan to rebuild the American submarine face a crisis. Fortunately, it was helped by...

    Actors were collectively "abused"

    During the filming process, the actors had bruises on their bodies and swellings on their heads to varying degrees. All this was attributed to the perfectionism of filming consultant Patrick Hanniffin, who was "realistic and unscrupulous". Patrick Hanniffin had operated the German Reich submarine. He said that the submarine space at that time was "very small". If the director and producer were determined to simulate the real situation...

    Evaluation action

    "U571" was almost unanimously applauded when it was released in the United States, and it entered the box office ranks of 200 billion US dollars. The film takes the line of plot and audiovisual first. The story is ups and downs and the plot is tense. Each ups and downs of the 105-minute story is full of explosive power. The tense suspense makes people almost suffocating. This is the magic of the story, which cannot be intertwined. I...
