A boring and overlong Nazi propaganda

I never thought the film could be so boring. Perhaps it is because I watch the 208 minutes director's cut version, rather than the original theatrical release version with 150 minutes.

For the director's cut version, it is total rubbish. The pace is extremely slow and many scenes are just repetitive. The terror and despair scenes of the soldiers are shown again and again. The director wants the audience to have pity on the Nazi soldiers? No way! They start the war, and they deserve to lose the war.

The only merit of the movie is that the ending is beyond expectation and cliché. So the rating for this movie is 2/10.

    It can be said to be an anti-war movie. The headless time in submarine life is full of boredom, depression, depression and despair, but it is real. Stripped of all the mystical, glorified, ideological highlights, war just means a bunch of ordinary, terrified, and decadent men living a life of precariousness, even though the hard work is probably worthless, it has to be. continue.

    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.
