War is nothing but boring and cruel

"From the Bottom of the Sea," a five-hour unedited film, I spent a week watching this three-hour cut. This may be the most realistic movie about war I have ever seen. Although the movie depicts the preparations for war and the activities between the crew, it further sublimates the war. The helplessness of both sides and the cruelty of the war are simply amazing. . The screenwriter and director are close to full marks, the actors' acting skills are close to full marks, the soundtrack is close to full marks, the camera is close to full marks, and the props group is close to full marks. Due to face blindness, the protagonist and supporting roles were not clearly distinguished from beginning to end. Although the submarine fleet represents Nazi Germany during the war, the cruelty of the war is beyond the control of ordinary people. The film is watched almost with bated breath, too long to give the illusion of being on a submarine. Especially the part that was sunk in the later period, it was terrifying.

    The inside of the long and narrow submarine just fits the perfect long shot, and every character from the captain to the sailor is three-dimensional. The submarine, which overcame many disasters and finally returned safely, was sunk by the raiding air force before it had time to celebrate. In the face of war and power, fate was toyed with.

    In a small space, the tension makes people breathless, and every time there is a magnificent symphony, there is a kind of pride. The ending is unexpected, but it has to make people lament the cruelty of war. It's a pity that I watched the theatrical version. I don't know when I will have the opportunity to watch the full version.

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.
