DASBOOT RATING TV

The film is about U-96вЂ™s mission in 1941 and its veteran, stoic captain (Jurgen Prochnow), who is a career military man and is none too pleased with HitlerвЂ™s battle plans or with the wet-behind-the-ears youngsters who make up his crew. Winston Churchill was mocked by the Nazi propaganda machine as a paralytic drunkard, but itвЂ™s clear from this film that those who fought the British knew better and respected their efficiency on the sea. The ships were escorted by destroyers and were sometimes protected by airplanes. The British supply-ships were trying to get through the German blockades, as the 12 German U-boats on patrol tried to stop them. It was the U-boats mission to guard the North Atlantic and make sure no boats got through. There were 40,000 Germans who served on U-boats during the war and 30,000 of them never returned. It also gave the director a chance to come to Hollywood to show off his ability to shoot action films, where he made вЂњIn the Line of FireвЂќ/вЂќAir Force OneвЂќ/ вЂњPerfect Storm.вЂќ Das Boot was one of the most popular foreign films in America at the time, and is still doing very well in its video rentals. Wolfgang Petersen was nominated but did not win an Oscar for his directing. This might very well be the best submarine film ever made. It sets a high standard for submarine films, as Petersen created a lot of nail-biting tension and evoked a suspenseful atmosphere.

This is the directorвЂ™s cut, where he added 65 minutes to the most expensive German film ever made at the time ($40 million is the reputed price tag), which was originally a six-hour TV miniseries. The film humanizes the Germans and shows the cramped conditions that they had to fight under. This updated 210-minute version of Wolfgang PetersenвЂ™s Das Boot WW11 U-boat thriller is adapted from the semi-autobiography of Lothar-Gunther Buchheim who served on a submarine during the war.
