A classic work of World War II shot in West Germany, reflecting the German wolf pack tactics and the British Navy's war in the Pacific Ocean. The filming is very in-depth. At the beginning, it was a carnival before the sailors left. Faced with the mission of going to sea, the night of carnival seemed indulgent and desperate. Each crew member is also different, some people parted with their forbidden love life, some people are smug to serve the head of state, some people are laughing and laughing and live in the moment, some people are forced to reluctantly. . . Reflecting the complexity of Nazi soldiers, it is even more thought-provoking.
After going out to sea, the U2 submarine is like a wolf entering the hunting ground. The young crew becomes more and more sophisticated, cruising all day long in search of prey. The whole process at sea is just like the hunting of wolves. It is not only boring and lonely before finding the prey, but also eager and cruel to face the prey. There was a thrilling and exciting process of fighting with the prey. In the end, the submarine successfully blew up the British transport ship. Facing the indiscriminate bombing of the British destroyer, it finally escaped the tracking and applied to return for repair.
Just as the crew was looking forward to the next carnival and reunion with family and loved ones, the Führer sent a new order, requiring the submarine to pass through the narrow Strait of Gibraltar and go to the Mediterranean to cover Rommel's defeated African troops. The strait has long been heavily guarded by British ships, and the submarines trying to cross will die. However, in the face of this crazy order that is tantamount to ordering people to commit suicide, the captain cannot even protect the two crew members ashore.
The final climax is depressing and heavy. The nervousness of the submarine following the British ship, the panic when it was discovered and bombed, and the desperation of the difficult self-rescue process after being sunk and plunged to the bottom of the sea are all gripping.
Ironically, however, when the submarine once again escaped and returned to its home port, after a brief welcome, it was indeed bombed by the enemy, and finally sank at the place where he started. Many details in the play reflect the war situation. The most profound is undoubtedly that the scarred U2 submarine finally returned to its home port, but was blown up and sank in the port. The brutal joy ushered in a brutal ending, like a harsh winter, lonely. After the wolf hunted, it was difficult to escape the pursuit and returned to the lair at the last breath. He thought he could finally get a moment of peace, but ushered in the final blow.
The whole drama is not only a wonderful plot picture, but also a more profound portrayal of Nazi soldiers and reflections on the war. Among the Nazi soldiers, there are professional soldiers who advocate martial arts, ordinary people who yearn for love and family, idiots who are addicted to machinery, and delusional people who are fanatical about war. What is the force that makes these people become the executioners of Hitler and the Nazis? Why did the humanity in them become cold and bloodthirsty after forming a collective? People on the shore have no way of imagining the hardships underwater. While talking eloquently and offering cheap condolences, they issue the most frantic and desperate orders. This kind of dislocation and disjoint relationship between superiors and subordinates is not uncommon now. What is the root cause?
