poor and sad

The WWII submariners were the saddest and the most despicable. The sad thing was that they lurked underwater and lurked in fear; the despicable thing was that their main goal was to attack the reshipment merchant ships, and the civilians were tantamount to massacres. Except for Japan, Japan has never understood what submarines are used for. There is no concept of cutting off enemy logistics. Even using submarines as transport ships is considered a wonderful thing... In addition, the German submarine base is a super project, with a 3-meter-thick concrete structure. It's still a combination, the Allies have been bombarded until the end without bombing...

    The version I watched for Mao only took 149 minutes. The first half is quite scattered, just some simple descriptions of submarine life. The tension, despair and rebirth in the second half, connected to the last invincible irony, make this the greatest submarine movie. The film is from a German perspective, but the audience has long forgotten which camp these innocent soldiers belonged to. Hope for everlasting peace.

    【A-】Director's Cut. What a war movie this is, this is an excellent psychological thriller at all. This is the first time I watched a World War II film from a German perspective. Without the main theme output of the United States, without the madness of France against Germany, it is more real. Many places are more like "Dunkirk", the enemy never shows up, but it is everywhere; the oppressive environment, the small space, although the diver seems to have the protection of the submarine, it is safer than charging; but in fact, more of torture. Suffocated and tormented, an excellent underwater group portrait. The ending is simply a stroke of genius, and there is a sense of helplessness in fatalism.

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.
