I thought this was a great film. The portrayal of life under the sea, in a submarine was excellent – the lack of space, being practically blind, food going bad, etc. That the characters grew beards over time was an amusing touch.
Obviously some of these things are valid for most boats.
I was concerned that the film was going to seem long, but, I don’t feel it was slow paced at all. I was always interested in knowing what was going to happen next – and this was the 200 minute directors cut version.
Even though these were German characters under Hitler’s command, I still felt sympathy with them.
It’s definitely worth watching this movie. It’s worth it’s spot on the top 250.
I give it 9/10
