classic in war movies

It should be regarded as one of Peterson's films with fewer special effects, but it is also the most touching one. At the beginning of the film, a character like a propaganda commissioner entered the lives of sailors, and was rejected and teased a lot. On this submarine under the sea, the life of the sailors is displayed in an orderly manner. It is hard to believe that these smooth and smooth shots are actually from a portable camera. The director's scheduling ability is truly admirable. For them, participating in the war seems to be just a way of life without a better choice. They may not agree with their own ideas, and they have no hatred for the enemy. They even resent the other side when the sailors of the other side are forced to jump into the sea. Seeing death for one's own people.

The submarine was forced to sink to the bottom of the sea in a crisis, facing despair, but finally survived, ushered in flowers and praise. Enemy airstrikes put it all in vain as a seemingly happy ending loomed. The heroes who overcome all odds and dangers at the bottom of the sea and finally surfaced, were brutally slaughtered by an enemy that should have been safe, and only corpses with no expression on their faces were laid on the shore under the sun.

Although the film is 3 and a half hours long, the overall plot is relaxed and does not feel dull at all. And after watching the movie, the dull and depressed mood of the audience will only last for 3 and a half hours.

    Contaminated with human self-confidence precision submarines, deep sea and indoor claustrophobia, you can get away with the force of nature, but you will always be planted in cruel humanity. What makes "From the Bottom of the Sea" truly outstanding as a war film is that its exploration of the meaning of war focuses on the most uninteresting times, places and people of war, the slow rhythm of the deep sea swallowing everything, and the death messages of dashboards and clocks, endless sluggish and panicked, ridiculous fluke

    The closed scene creates a tense atmosphere and depicts the psychology of the characters well. The final realist ending is quite similar to The Price of Fear, where no one is ever safe on a doomed road of no return.

Das Boot quotes

  • Pilgrim: Hey, have you got any hairs up your nose?

    Frenssen: Why?

    Pilgrim: I've got some up my ass. Maybe we can tie them together?

  • Lt. Werner: Captain?

    Captain: I'm sorry.

    Lt. Werner: You think it's hopeless now?

    Captain: It's been 15 hours. He'll never do it. I'm sorry.

    Lt. Werner: They made us all train for this day. "To be fearless and proud and alone. To need no one, just sacrifice. All for the Fatherland." Oh God, all just empty words. It's not the way they said it was, is it? I just want someone to be with. The only thing I feel is afraid.
