analyze the movie

The film is a relatively new film among all kinds of World War II submarine films. Therefore, in terms of shooting techniques and props, the previous films were called more delicate. It is a rare submarine blockbuster, but there are also shortcomings, mainly the key reversal of the plot, not relying on strict design. but a small probability event. For example: When the enemy is approaching and the identity is discovered, the sharpshooter hits the enemy's communication tower with one shot. Dive with extreme speed, and the depth just rubbed the keel of the enemy ship. The enemy ship released depth charges, and after a few rounds, the submarine was completely intact except for the shaking. The enemy launched a new round of depth bomb offensive, this time it was bombed with water, and the valve was repaired by twisting. In addition, the submarine had insufficient electricity in the hands of the Germans, but after the Allies took over, the electricity has never been cut off. How to do it is not explained in detail.

The story of this film is a bit rough and can't be compared to attacking and saving privates from the bottom of the sea. The plot rhythm and the details of the story left something to be desired. However, the excellent production of this film makes the movie scenes endearing, and even the scenes that are not prominently described have a strong appeal, which largely makes up for the lack of some story details. As a military fan, I look forward to more and better submarine films.
