Remake of Das Boot 2018

SmokingHeadStudio · 06-22-19, 12:35 PM

I have seen it.

i am not impressed.
There some good Scenes in the Submarine, but that is all.
Most Part of the Story will be the Part on Land, for the Opposition of the France Rebels.

Not so really nice for a Series called "The Boat".
Also i do not like, how the Story itself is "made".
A lot at the Beginning, will you remember to the Movie "Das Boot",
it is nearly a "borrow" of much Things and Ideas, and also conversations (in the same Way). But later the Series goes down like a brithish Destroyer after 10 Torpedos. There is just 1 fascinating Scene left, i do not want to tell it everyone, who not know.

But for real: after the 3. Part, it goes longer and longer, at the 4. Part i begun to skip some Parts, than i rewind, watch it, and skip it again.

not really big Cinema. It is okay, but the Story @ Land can completly Cut in my Eyes. And the hardest Thing is: The story at Land is nearly complete a different Story to the Boat. Only thing that is "together" is the Point, that is a Brother Sister Thing, but this is all.

Best Greetings.
You miss not so much you think. I saw it 1 Time, do not need to see it again.

This tv show was really terrible. The first couple of episodes I was on board, I had presumed the parts set in La Rochelle were just window dressing to create an on-shore connection with the crew.. I thought swapping the experienced well loved commander with a newbie would be a sort of journey where the commander slowly but surely brings his crew together and becomes the respected veteran over time.

Instead what do we get, insubordination? questioning of the Captain and orders from the BdU? mutiny?!... on a U-Boat? I looked it up there are no historical examples of this, the closest historical event that could have vaguely influenced the show is the denouncement of Oskar-Heinz Kusch.

And that's just for the sections on the boat 60% - 80% of the later episodes is set entirely in La Rochelle following some far fetched SJW resistance plot line that's only vaguely connected to the boat, and again has little if any historical precedence.

The Captain who is the sole survivor of his U-Boat sinking has some historical precedence in Klaus Bargsten of U-521. The idea of swapping him at all (unless he was very well connected) for a civilian, rather than a Spy as would be customary is ridiculous.

As for the deposed Captain arriving in New York, there is no way on earth he wouldn't be a POW. Hopefully it will get cancelled before they do further damage to the Das Boot brand. Loads of people will probably think this is representative of the original or the novel now, let alone actual U-Boats from WWII!

For all the grief I gave it in my previous post though, the 2018 version of Das Boot did re-ignight my interest in Submarine games for the first time in 10 years, I re-installed SH3 and bought the rest of the series too, after watching the Das Boot original of course.

Season 2 is up June 9

Das Boot: this tense submarine thriller is 'TV for dads' that the rest of us can enjoy

Quote:

Growing up I always assumed the movie Das Boot was an elaborate joke played on me by my father. There cannot be a five-hour film, sorry. Subtitled entirely in German. Which you had to record in two shifts, as two half-films, from two late-night showings on BBC Two. And erase my tape of Jurassic Park to do it. None of this is real.

I assumed that, when I marched into the front room during the five dedicated hours put aside for watching Das Boot, I would discover what strange adult ritual my dad was really performing – sniffing glue? Eating olives? Saying the word “f----” out loud? – but, no. He really was sitting there, on his sofa, arms folded and legs outstretched, utterly engrossed in 300 minutes of German lads going slowly mad in a submarine. One day, I figured, I would grow up, and have a beard, and watch Das Boot, and then I would be a dad, transformed from a child for ever.

Well, it’s 2020, and I wouldn’t call it a beard exactly but there’s something up there, and Sky Atlantic is about to air season two of its big-budget adaptation of Das Boot (Thursday, 10.05pm). Do I understand now why Dad recorded over four episodes of The Simpsons to watch the predecessor? Sort of, but not exactly. I mean: kind of. But also no.

Season 2 was nearly as bad as season 1, a duel between U-Boats? A second Mutiny? Defecting U-Boat Captains? come on, ****ing stupid.
