Das Boot

Sailor Steve · 06-17-07, 04:17 PM

But the longest (5-hour) version follows the book much more closely.

Either way you view it Sailor Steve and 8X15, It's a great all time classic and IMO the all around best sub movie made............

It's all in sub-titles isn't it?

I hate reading movies.

Nope, with the DVD you can watch it dubbed in English or as the majority prefer, in German with English subtitles, the choice is yours.

You just HAVE to watch it in German with English sub titles...there's just no other way. I'd also suggest doing the same with the german Stalingrad movie....which is also top class stuff!

Agreed, I tried it in english once and it just wasn't as immersive.

A very interesting experience is to watch it in dubbed english, then watch it again with the subtitles.

Its almost like a different movie. The 'point of view' and phrases used are an interesting insight on the culture of that day (60's) [meaning when the movie was made not WWII].

I actually once watched it in dubbed English, with the subtitles on. That's a real experience. You're right, it is almost two different movies.

The movie "Das Boot" was made in 1981 and released in 1982.

The Devs have their own version called 'Das Patch'.

V.C. Sniper · 06-18-07, 03:43 PM

OMG!! Awesome! Rented it from Netflix a month ago and it has quickly become my favorite sub movie of all time! Going to record it on my DirectTV DVR.

I really love the theme song. Listening to it as I type.

I wonder what Das Boot would be like if the external U-Boat scenes are recreated with todays advance special effects.... :hmm:

On a related note, I bought an HD-DVD player for my XBOX360 for $200 and have been enjoying it (as much as it can be enjoyed given the crappy selection of movies), and then I noticed that U-571 is available on HD-DVD. Makes the purchase worth it right there, I plan to order it POSTHASTE.
