3 and a half hour movie, and occasionally I have to fast forward to watch it. The film in 1981 still has the slow pace of that era, and the Germans, like their U-boats, are calm and taciturn.
Every moment on the battlefield, whether it is close hand-to-hand combat, mutual bombardment on the seabed, or manipulating drones like playing a game, the story is there, blood and sweat, and tears. War is like this, whether you win or lose, where benevolence and righteousness are, depends on whose perspective you tell those stories.
