New tank film compared to Das Boot

[Safe-Keeper]

"Not since Das Boot has the movie theatre been more claustrophobic". Libanon takes place in a tank and the camera never seems to never venture outside the vehicle's armour, much in the same way it was confined within the pressure hull of U-96 in Das Boot. I really want to see this film.

Looks a bit cheezy to me, with all the condemning looks on peoples eyes through the optics. Yes, we know war is bad, but I dont need to be told like I am retarded. You liked that explosion? Look what happened to this pregnant lady who was about to solve cancer and this bus full of nuns. I need a war movie without violins. /rant

Yeah, I didn't like that either. Not just all the civilians shown, but the fact that so much of the trailer was reticule shots. Das Boot would've been terrible if a large portion of it was a periscope view of the sea outside. To be honest I thought the reticule and black outline was just added to the footage for the trailer.

I'm sick in the head or something, I guess, because I found that hilarious.

Years back there was a movie about a Russian tank called "The Beast". It was pretty good.

I wouldn't want to be in a tank, no thank you.

I'd much prefer being in an A-10 Warthog.

So if it's like Das Book, do they do they dancing scene?

Heck yeah. Deliver ones ordinance on the target and be back at base in time to shower and take that hot nurse with the big ta ta's to the USO show.

agreed.


looks like a good film, but they overplayed the "you bastards, you killed kenny" thing

Yeah that was kind of goofy. Everything else was alright, but those bits were somewhat ridiculous. Hopefully the movie is better about that kind of thing.

Agreed, it must take some real brass ones to go into combat in one of those.

I think I'd rather be in a tank than just an unprotected soldier with a rifle in my hands. Thank god I only had to experience the latter in peace time.

That's why you sign up for the airforce.

You cannot hide in a tank, i consider surviving a war as a tanker very hard.

Depends on what you are up against. I believe that no American tanker died during the last Iraq war although some Abrams have been disabled by enemy fire. The crew protection of modern MBTs is somewhat better than it used to be in the old days. If you are just an infantry man pretty much everyone and everything can kill you.
