Das Boot Mystique

I'm big into medieval history and reenacting. Every time a "medieval" movie comes out, people cry about how it's hollywhood and not historical.

I don't care. I realize going in that it's not a documentary. I'm in it for the story.

One of my most favorite medieval movies is "Excalibur". Completely ahistorical. But a wonderful telling of the Aurthurian Tale.

I love Das Boot. It's well acted, gritty, and believable. It allows for suspension of belief. That's the best a good fictional work can do.
