expensive in truth

The most valuable part of the film is that it is real, without any commercial elements. Suppose it was filmed in the United States, and we would have to create a few villains to fight each other, and promote liberalism and personal heroism. In this film, although the captain and chief engineer are the focus of the characterization, the director did not exaggerate excessive heroism at all, and there was no Hollywood-like declaration and call. There are basically no moments of excitement in the whole play, but the inflection is decent, the tension is moderate, and the three-and-a-half-hour edited version is completed in one go, which will not make people feel boring and redundant at all.
The other thing I admire most is the execution and team spirit of the Germans. Some things movies can be faked, but the spirit and habits of a nation cannot be faked. And now Germany is daring to face war crimes - the end of the film is the best proof that this film is by no means a celebration of fascism, and it's no wonder that it won applause from all over Europe.

    ①Depicting the real life of the wolves submarine in World War II, the voyage is only connected to the sky, and there is no difference between morning and night when diving. ②Water pressure and sonar are the nightmare of the submarine crew. ③The night fog in the Mediterranean Sea is quiet and beautiful. The prototype of the game "The Expendables 2" is the La Rochelle submarine base

    A classic German visual war film of World War II. The classic and rigorous is like a documentary, but it is not recommended to watch the 293-minute director's cut version, it is too dull. A 4-point movie, because I like submarine warfare movies, so I gave it a full score. However, it may be too boring for students who are not interested in this subject. It is not recommended for female students who are not interested in this subject to watch.

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.
