War is nothing but boring and cruel

"From the Bottom of the Sea," a five-hour unedited film, I spent a week watching this three-hour cut. This may be the most realistic movie about war I have ever seen. Although the movie depicts the preparations for war and the activities between the crew, it further sublimates the war. The helplessness of both sides and the cruelty of the war are simply amazing. . The screenwriter and director are close to full marks, the actors' acting skills are close to full marks, the soundtrack is close to full marks, the camera is close to full marks, and the props group is close to full marks. Due to face blindness, the protagonist and supporting roles were not clearly distinguished from beginning to end. Although the submarine fleet represents Nazi Germany during the war, the cruelty of the war is beyond the control of ordinary people. The film is watched almost with bated breath, too long to give the illusion of being on a submarine. Especially the part that was sunk in the later period, it was terrifying.

    The best submarine movie, I believe the future cannot be surpassed. All the submarine movies of the later era are just shards of it. A 3.5 hour director's cut is recommended.

Das Boot quotes

  • Captain: I'm sorry.

    Lt. Werner: Is it hopeless?

    Captain: It's been 15 hours. He's not going to pull it off. I'm sorry.

    Lt. Werner: I asked for it. 'To be heading into the inexorable... where no mother will care for us... no woman crosses our path... where only reality reigns... with cruelty and grandeur.' I was drunk with those words. Well, this is reality.

  • Ario: [the engines have restarted] They're... they're running. I think they're running!

    Der Leitende: Who says you can't make something out of nothing?

    [the LI laughs a nervous, giddy, girly giggle]
