The short review is too long to write a movie review

What is there to say? Oh, no pee spots all the way. The plot is tight, with ups and downs. Every time a depth charge came over, it shook the submarine as if it were torn apart. I always thought: I'm going to die when it's over, but when I look at the progress bar of the video, it's not even a third of the way. The director can't let them die so quickly. Continuing to watch, one after another, the depth bombs were shocked every time, and every time they escaped from death.

The person I admire the most is the captain. Every time he makes a decision, his blue eyes shine with extraordinary determination, and the instructions issued are simple and straightforward, which makes people feel very trustworthy. The director has been giving him this kind of facial expression close-up, well, he succeeded in persuading me.

But the ending was unexpected. Just when they returned to their home port and were about to celebrate, they were bombed. The submarine sank, and the captain died after witnessing the sinking of the submarine. Simply looking at them from a human point of view, it can be said that they are a group of brave and witty submarine fighters.

But every time this thought comes to me, it suddenly reminds me that they were German soldiers, that is to say, fascists, the enemies of people all over the world. Suddenly it feels shameful to be proud of them again. If only they weren't German, I could be honest and proud of them.

Maybe not contradictory. What makes me proud of them is the charisma they exude as pure people in this world, a pure army.

It is impossible for the director not to let them die, because he also needs to draw a line and take a stand against each other. If it doesn't end like this, I'm afraid it will be drowned by the spittle of the world.

Perhaps the cruelty of war lies in its cruelty. You must draw a clear line with the enemy, you must distinguish between enemy and me, and you cannot have a little bit of human kindness, otherwise you may be the one who will die.

    The background introduction of the first part and the creation of the atmosphere of the whole film are already compulsory courses for the director. Compared with the patterned climax disaster and the sudden turn of the disaster in the last part, the silent fear in the middle part of the film is obviously better shot.

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.
