Unser Boot

Four and a half hours? Why did I actually see the five hour version.

I read it in the middle of the night when I was tired of working on the thesis and read it as a pastime, and I saw the end in one breath.

As the submarine sank, the morning light off-screen hit the water inside the screen at a perfect angle. I didn't turn off the machine for a long time, but went back to several scenes repeatedly, one was watching the submarine in the water before departure, the captain said a meaningful "Unser Boot.", the other was that they met another The excitement and joy of the U-Boot. Because of these two moments, they seem to have forgotten the harshness of war. I repeated it over and over, using these to slowly pull my thoughts away from the boat and return to reality.
good film. I didn't dare to open it easily, because the feeling of not being able to climb out was really uncomfortable.

Das Boot quotes

  • Captain: I'm sorry.

    Lt. Werner: Is it hopeless?

    Captain: It's been 15 hours. He's not going to pull it off. I'm sorry.

    Lt. Werner: I asked for it. 'To be heading into the inexorable... where no mother will care for us... no woman crosses our path... where only reality reigns... with cruelty and grandeur.' I was drunk with those words. Well, this is reality.

  • Ario: [the engines have restarted] They're... they're running. I think they're running!

    Der Leitende: Who says you can't make something out of nothing?

    [the LI laughs a nervous, giddy, girly giggle]
