What happens when you cram almost 50 guys into a big tin can that's less than 70m long? Sounds like a set up for a sensual porn movie, but Das Boot gives us a slew of moving men The great feeling between them, I believe that this feeling really existed among the U-boat sailors in that tragic era, this is a kind of feeling between men!

On the vast Atlantic Ocean, in a small U-boat, in a large U-boat Most of the time, in a boring and dreary atmosphere, young officers brought a group of hairy boys. They came from different places, spoke different dialects, and had their own joys and troubles, but they shared a toilet and breathed together. Mixed with diesel-smelling air, sharing the monotonous spoiled food, together looking forward to the sex life with the girls after going ashore, and at the same time precisely maneuvering this terrifying U-boat, which is an elusive ship. The ghost of the army's nerves, and at the same time it is so fragile that it can only escape if it encounters any aircraft and warships. It was the iron coffin for the burial of 3w German U-boat officers and soldiers during World War II. Only one of every 4 U-boat sailors survived. The war ended. Together, these men fired torpedoes accurately and quickly to sink the Allied cargo ship, held their breath to avoid the detection of the destroyer, sank to the bottom of the sea with great fear, and worked incredibly hard to repair the tenacious U-boat together, Desperately falling asleep in order to save air together, waiting for the rebirth of the U-boat together with great anticipation, and happily breathing the long-lost fresh air with sea smell together... I think this kind of experience is impossible for us in our lifetime. Well, the feelings that the men generate are hard to understand in our whole life, but it must be great and tragic.

Growing up in the military camp, I have always had strong heroic feelings. Although there are various things about the motherland Opinion, but never stopped fantasizing about being able to represent her one day, salute the flag with tears in his eyes as he left the port, and then sacrifice his youth and even his life with his comrades who met by chance. Dad and I as officers With the same feelings, whenever they talk about this, the father and son will excitedly discuss and praise each other, and the women around them, who were mothers when they were children, are now girlfriends, they will sadly blame us for the selfishness of men, I think so, this Maybe it really belongs to men's feelings, but it is also selfish.

The most impressive scene in the film happened in the storm that lasted for more than half a month. The morale of the whole boat was extremely low. The U-boat was stubbornly but aimlessly blown on the sea, and it was far away from the course. Suddenly another German U-boat rushed out in the storm, it was Thomsen's boat, it was the U-boat of the old rogue, the old drunk! They were also in this endless turbulent ocean, in fact, they were right in front of our eyes , almost all collided! All the officers and soldiers on the boat were extremely excited from top to bottom, shouting happily, it was them, they were there, and they were just like us, haha! I almost burst into tears in front of the screen. , I think they are a kind of proud identification between men, at that moment, I realized the greatness in that evil war!
