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

Looks interesting....I wonder if it will be anything like 'The Beast Of War'

Also reminds me of Waltz with Bashir. Same war, the Lebanon conflict in both. I guess that war is still very much in Israelis mind.

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.

agreed.


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

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

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

[XabbaRus]

Looks rubbish to be frank.

I'm pretty sure the reticle was just for the trailer, it doesn't make any sense if they have it in the movie. Prolly will check it out, who knows how good it'll be.

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.
