The 4 and a half hours of tension in the film are all for the close-up of the captain's eyes at the end. The captain couldn't understand why this group of the best people, despite overcoming many difficulties and escaping fatal crises, died in the place they wanted to return to. Why does our home become the grave that kills us.
Soldiers must not interfere with ZZ, and soldiers must obey orders. That's why the captain carried out all the orders with the best of his ability, with all the grumbling about the upper echelons. Soldiers are human too, though, so after every tension, there's a humane scene.
We can appreciate the intense plot arranged by the director and learn about submarines, but more importantly, what the director wants to express in five hours is far more than that. Unlike other German anti-war films, this film hardly shows the anti-humanity of the SS, nor does it say how the German fighters shine with humanity, but only depicts a group of excellent ordinary people who can only carry out orders. , ordinary soldiers struggling to survive but destined to die constitute a tragedy for ordinary Germans. How many ordinary Germans really wholeheartedly support the propaganda of the so-called Great Deutschland, except the SS?
In this war, how many such Germans were arranged into such a tragedy? They have no other choice, no other way out, lamentably and sadly. While we commemorate the innocent dead of allied and occupied countries, few people think that the number of German soldiers killed and wounded in World War II is by no means a small number. Except for the SS, most of the dead German soldiers, like the people in the movie, could not resist the ending created by this era.
War, for aggressors, also creates pain. May there be no more wars in this world, and may these outstanding people live their own lives.
