Ang Lee's film about the tiger in the sea imitating this film? hehe! But this is Hitchcock's 1944 black and white film!
Looking at the beginning, I think it is possible, and at the end, I think it is really possible!
In fact, directors are always moving forward in imitation. Who dares to say that Hitchcock is not imitating anyone?

A World War II-themed film should have been completed in the studio with 10 actors!
U2 submarine sinks an American ship, several crew members + a female nurse + a famous female writer + a millionaire + mentally troubled mother and drowned baby!
By the way, the captain of the U2 submarine who was also sunk in the encounter was rescued later! He was originally a surgeon, proficient in English, French and other languages, able to speak and sing, and as strong as a cow!

And then the death process begins!
The mother who lost her child disappeared into the sea at night; a crew member was amputated due to a leg injury (the captain of the U2 submarine gave him a correction), and he became confused and longed for water. Unfortunately, the stored food and water were in the storm. Lost!
It's a pity that he happened to see the U2 submarine captain secretly drinking the pre-reserved fresh water! So he was pushed into the sea and killed! Terrifying, determined, knowledgeable, and scientifically-minded—the Nazis!

Then what? There is no doubt that the remaining American elites will kill this strong cow without mercy!
Then it’s time to wrap up. They encountered the German supply ship, and just tried their best to enter the concentration camp. Unexpectedly, the American ship appeared and directly sunk the supply ship. Everyone was saved!

At the end of the whole film, it is undoubtedly the interweaving of human nature and reason, conscience and conspiracy in the special small environment of war (that little lifeboat)!
The ending is good, most human nature + rationality, and finally promote conscience to defeat conspiracy!
