Watching such a film on the eve of the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China is quite timely anyway. Watching such a movie when it is quiet and no one is making noise in the early morning is one of the alternatives anyway. In the midst of contradictions, it takes a lot of courage to stand in front of the computer, turn on the full volume, and watch such a movie.
The Yankee war movie has a smell from start to finish, I am the military police of the world, and U-571 is no exception. Putting aside all political stances and just looking at the storyline, this is a pretty good war movie.
To be continued...
I didn't expect a delay to be three days. But I finally finished the movie.
The deepest impression was left at the end. The pressure of the torpedo tube at the stern was insufficient, and the small crew had to dive in to repair it. The captain, Taylor, knew that he would never return, and finally appointed one of the small crew, Terrigo, to go there. Repaired, Trigg closed the valve before dying, and the last torpedo was fired at the last minute and hit the enemy ship. Terrigo persevered to the end, and the acting captain, Taylor, persevered in the same way. Making a decision to die is hard, and making a decision about who to die is not easy. The heroic ending of the American soldier, even if you watch a lot, is just as moving.

    Quite general, far from classic. The pure American imperial patriotism and personal heroism propaganda film, apart from being far ahead in terms of technology, is essentially the same as the "Red Army Beats the Little Devils" science and education film produced by China.

    The German army's unrestricted submarine warfare was doomed to fail from the very beginning. The wolf pack tactics of U-shaped submarines only achieved some results at the tactical level, killing 10,000 enemies and self-destructing 3,000, not to mention that the "3,000" also includes Experienced submarine captains and crews who cannot be resupplied are strategically worth the loss.
