Das Boot

[Umfuld]

It's a very good movie. I remember when it first came out on cable here in the States. It had a lot of buzz. And yeah, who cares if it won an Oscar? Is there anything more meaningless than an Oscar?

Besides an Emmy, that is.

I just saw if for the first time (maybe I saw some of it as a teen, don't remember) a few months ago. The 5 hours version was on one of the Encore channels.
I played SHIII shortly after, and concluded that either: A) SH3 simply copied the feel of the movie almost 100%, or B) they are both so realistic that they are similar because of this.


I play dead is dead for the most part, and always start in 39. So my expirence with the later years of the war are very limited. And the scene when they go to attack the Destroyer in a storm, and he loses sight of it for a moment, and when he finds it again the Destroyer is right on top of him in an attack run, well, that happened to me pretty much that night after watching the movie.

What does he say? "The British have stopped making mistakes." And someone else speculates about rumors of advanced detection tools.

It was amazing. I knew just how they felt, as I was approaching a convoy as I always do and before I got even close a Destroyer was steaming right at me, 1000s of m away from the convoy.

It's a great film, is what I'm saying.

No it didn't...the cliches are about as old as the mountains. And I have the subtitled/Directors Cut. The subtitles are just as bad...
