Floating Homes, Battlefields, Execution Grounds and Final Coffins

Hubert 2022-01-26 08:03:40

When the water pressure of the deep sea squeezed the hull of the submarine, the sound of the motor of the British destroyer was gradually approaching overhead, like the sound of drums from hell, tormenting a group of sailors of the Third Reich. Their cowardice, fear and neuroticism in the face of death are presented to the audience without reservation. The audience also felt that they were holding their breath 200 meters deep in the ocean and endured the torment. The U-boat is no longer the evil "Atlantic Butcher", but a steel cage for a group of young people who are as vulnerable and helpless as us. The submarine with the smell of oil, sea and sweat is the floating home, battlefield, execution ground and final coffin of this group of sailors.

    The cruelty and survival of the confined space is neither glorious nor great, but it truly shows the psychological state of life of the most common officers and soldiers in the war. Having seen the history of German troops blocking British cargo ships at sea during World War II, Britain suffered heavy losses. Unexpectedly, German submarines are hiding and evading most of the time, and they are also miserable. There really is no winner in a war. The ending was reversed. Encountered with strong winds and waves at sea and so many attacks and even parked and stranded on the bottom of the sea, all of them were lucky to pass by death. I didn’t expect to return to the motherland and return to the port instead of dying. I am so sorry! The mood of watching the movie was ups and downs with the plot, and it kept tugging at the heart for three and a half hours, and finally swayed to the bottom. The camera and soundtrack scenes are well arranged, and the captain is so handsome

    Just watching this 293-minute blockbuster gives me a sense of accomplishment...so it's my 700th movie on purpose. Compared to Peterson's work in Hollywood, Das Boot appears so objective, so cool. The captain is loyal to his duty and obeys crazy orders. Soldiers who hate war are eager to fight in order to get rid of the boring life at sea. The superhuman captain engineer... 2010.7.22

Das Boot quotes

  • Captain of the 'Weser': So, what's it like down there, in a submarine?

    Der Leitende: It's... quiet.

    Captain of the 'Weser': Quiet? Hmm.

  • [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.
