People are always curious about things they are not familiar with,
people are always afraid of claustrophobia , people are always
horrified and excited about war,
people are always willing to think that they are heroes
who save the world, but people are reflective At the same time, he vigorously denied all this and flaunted his peaceful will.
Use reason to think about human nature, and use human nature to destroy human nature.
Fortunately, the director is not a fledgling boy or an old man in his old age,
so this film will shine in calmness,
so it will not use war as an entertainment for the audience like U517. .
But
what would your attitude be if a war broke out by your side one day?
What other war movies do you think of as your role models? If you are a
man, keep the war away from you, and do your best to avoid war.
But if you are a soldier, please don’t just think about obeying orders, and remember that you are a person while killing people.

In addition, what would be the effect of this 5-hour film if the upper and lower episodes were edited together?

    The closed scene creates a tense atmosphere and depicts the psychology of the characters well. The final realist ending is quite similar to The Price of Fear, where no one is ever safe on a doomed road of no return.

    Four and a half stars. It's not so much a movie that it's close to perfect, it's more close to complete. The director consciously excluded a lot of scenes about the enemy and strictly limited the space inside the submarine, just like when Bresson locked the audience in a small prison, everything is to shape a complete behavioral unit. And this reflects the film's only shortcoming: in addition to the integrity of the behavior, it also attempts to obtain the integrity of all the characters.

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.
