twisty 176 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Das Boot is brilliant. There's also a TV series on netflix of it. Not as good as the movie but still pretty good. Con Thode said that Das Boot was the nearest he had ever seen to the real thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Das Boot is one of my all time favourite movies - the original one that is, not any of the series or re-makes. For some reason, my missus never ever ever ever wants to watch it, or even let me watch it. Hopefully without spoiling the plot for anyone, the movie conveys the tedium of life on-board, interspersed with shear terror, and overall, the movie leaves you with a deep sense of complete futility, which I think sums up what war is really about.

Rangi1 50 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I watched and enjoyed Maiden the other day - I didn't see it when it did the rounds of the theatres, so was happy to find it online (Apple TV) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not as good as the movie but still pretty good. It is a very good film, but leaves out a huge amount of important points from the original book - Ott's Sharks and Little Fishes https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/411611.Sharks_and_Little_Fish which states that, among other things, the German submariners did not hesitate to murder officers who were incompetent or cruel. If the movie/TV versions were accurate, they would show that. But that would not boost the war-heroic narrative, would it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
