Real submarine naval battle.

This is a German movie set in a submarine naval battle. It truly reproduces the battle scene of the sailors inside the submarine, and the realistic and delicate depiction describes the psychological changes of the sailors - happiness, joy, fear, and pressure. One of the biggest features of the movie is that it is real! Although the content is boring and monotonous, it reflects the cruelty of the war and can make people understand and integrate into it. It is a movie worth watching closely. It is also one of the few German movies I have watched.

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]

    Capt. Lt. Philipp Thomsen: Hail and victory and sink 'em all!
