if you have the DVD version of the film try watching it in german with english subtitles..it's a very different movie with dubbed voices...gives it almost an "art-house" atmosphere...
me i love the film-- love the cod philosphopy (better cod than none at all)
tho i'm allways left wondering why when the u-boat gives the DD time to abandon ship before firing the killing torpedo --and the DD uses the time to set a trap for the sub and destroy it..we should be left with the belief that the DD in this case is granted the moral high ground..(quite apart from the obvious of course) can't help thinking how this would have looked in generic moral movie terms..if the german sub had been damaged and the american DD had offerred them time to get their wounded off and was destroyed losing many crew in the process...typical Nazi behaviour-- so that allways has me scratching my head at the flexibility displayed in movie morailty..still it at least has something to make you think...where-as U571 for example is bereft of any possible thought what so ever..
