All kinds of unreasonable points about this film on the English wiki

1. It is impossible for German destroyers to appear in the Atlantic Ocean. Most of the German fleets dare not venture to cruise to such western waters. There are only a few exceptions, but they are only flagships.

2. It is impossible for a German submarine to survive a close encounter with a destroyer. Although it is pointed out in the film that the distance is too close and the gun cannot hit the submarine, the machine gun on the destroyer can still sink it.

3. In the movie, the destroyer dropped at least 80 depth charges on No. 571, but in fact the German warship never carried more than 30 depth charges.

4. It is almost impossible for U-571 to sink a German supply submarine. There has been only one case of submarine sinking in history. It was created by a British submarine in 1945 when the German U-864 was sunk because of the German army. The sonar system is far less advanced than that of the UK.

5. The biggest flaw is that the German supply submarine does not have a torpedo launch system at all, how can it sink S33?

6. The model of the German navy patrol aircraft that appeared in the film was not equipped on a German
destroyer at all during World War II .

In a word, in order to make the plot nervous and attract attention, the director composes whatever he wants.

    Very good commercial film, good rhythm, great atmosphere, and the design of the prescribed situation is very representative: submarine + deep sea confined space, limited ammunition to connect enemy forces, etc. It is good to do it in several major transitions, and every time it advances Going up, the situation is getting more and more extreme. During the period, the design and resolution of each paragraph is not repeated, and it can be used as a film analysis teaching material that runs through the conflicting single plot structure. The original sound is also very good, and Matthew was still stunned at the time.

U-571 quotes

  • Chief Klough: Those Krauts sure know how to build a boat.

  • Lieutenant Andrew Tyler: Who's the boarding party?

    Marine Maj. Coonan: Well, since you're the XO, you sir. Mr. Emmett, Mr. Larson, Mr. Hirsh and nine of your ships company. Captain, of course, will remain onboard the S-33.

    Lieutenant Andrew Tyler: Mister, our boys are submarine sailors, not combat marines.

    Marine Maj. Coonan: Boys onboard that U-boat are sailors, too. Your men will be ready, Lieutenant. I'll train them myself.
