Compared with the thrilling American ones, the war films made by the Germans always seem a lot more bland. For example, "Stauffenberg" will have a lot less adrenal secretion than "Valkyrie", but the latter is more like Tom. Handsome uniform to complete another Mission Impossible.
The beauty of Das Boot was that I kept my adrenaline high and breathed for five hours with 50 sailors on a U-boat in a cramped cabin full of foul air. Discomfort and freshness after the voyage, anticipation of the mission during the boring continuous voyage; nervousness of being attacked for the first time; the happiness of getting away with the Allied forces for the first time; the sense of accomplishment in blowing up four Allied merchant ships; The sailor's plea for help was tangled but he left decisively; he ignored the high-sounding praise on the supply ship; and the tragic and tragic death that finally fell to the door of his home after he was resurrected from the dead were dripping from every look of the captain. come out.
It has to be said that the captain's blue eyes are the best narrator of this novel. I may never forget the hysterical sailor after an attack, who did an excellent job of resolving all leaks when the boat sank; the exhausted chief engineer reported to the captain that the various instruments had been repaired, and the captain was grateful, A look of trust. Unlike the Band of Brothers, the Germans expressed this trust between men in a more subtle way, but deeply.
Submarine sailors are probably the worst soldiers in combat environments. The enemies they faced were not only air strikes and depth charges, but also the air of despair brought to everyone by this confined space that could become a huge steel coffin in the deep sea at any time. In this relatively isolated environment, the belief that underpins their battle may no longer be loyalty to the Führer, but the determination to live and reunite with loved ones. This kind of human connection made the five-hour novel unable to calm down.
