  DAS BOOT THE DIRECTORS CUT DVD
Review created: 01/08/07(updated 06/11/07)
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

THIS FILM IS AN EPIC. IT IS SET ON BOARD A SUB, UBOAT-96, DAS BOOT PRODUCES THE TENSION AND CLAUSTROPHOBIC SENSED WHEN STALKING ITS TARGET AND WHEN HUNTED ITSELF THE STEALTH REQUIRED TO AVOID DETECTION.
IT IS FILMED FROM A GERMAN PERSPECTIVE THE DIALOGUE IS IN GERMAN WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES (THE BEST WAY TO WATCH IT) AND DOES INCLUDE A ENGLISH LANGUAGE VERSION.
THE KRIEGSMARINE IN WORLD WAR 2 (THE SUBMARINERS) WHO FOUGHT A LONELY AND OFTEN FAR AWAY WAR THIS IS A TRIBUTE TO THEIR SKILL AND HUNTING IN PACKS THAT CAUSED SO MANY ALLIED LOSSES IN TERMS OF HUMAN LOSS AND VITAL TONNAGE BETWEEN US AND UK DESTINATIONS.
THIS FILM IS OVER 3 HOURS LONG (200 MINS) AND IS BEST WATCHED WITH NO LIGHTS AND CURTAINS DRAWN TO MAXIMISE THE FEELING OF BEING AMONGST THE CREW OF THE SUB.
CERTAINLY ONE OF MY BEST WAR FILMS AND PROVING DIFFICULT TO LOCATE A GOOD COPY.

  Gritty U/Boat German Film
Review created: 03/03/07

This film is German and with the DVD you can have English spoken and or subtitles. When it was on TV (BBC) I recall it was spoken German with subtitles - which did not detract from the realism of the film, probably enhanced it.

You do get the felling you're living the action and it does get intense.

I recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the action - even if it's from 'the other side's point of view.

This it folks as war films go they dont get any better than the likes of this, When a depth charge goes off you grab the side of the armchair even more so if you have surround sound. Das boot really does give the viewer an insite into life on board a german u-boat, the fears, the thrills and the tensions!!

this film gives you an insight into the life of german submariners and the dangers thay faced in ww2,a really fantastic film,well directed,and not one american in sight to claim thay won it single handed unlike another film where thay had to but an appolage at the end. This film is a must to get!

A very factual portrayal of life in a German U-Boat during the Second World War. Comes over more as a documentary than a fictional tale.

  DAS BOOT
Review created: 06/06/06

DAS BOOT is superbly directed by Wolfgang Petersen giving a realistic insight into the life onboard U-96, a WW2 German Uboat. To me this is one of the best WW2 films because it gives the viewer a realistic depiction rather than the over-dramatised, 'boys war comic hero' type films that are so common.Because of this, it is easy to feel that you are part of the crew sharing their fears,excitment,boredom,hopes,despair and dogged tenacity.All this and more, ending in perfect irony.This film leaves the viewer with an empathy for all that served in those iron hell holes during WW2,regardless of whose side they were fighting for.Truly a great film were a director has refused to sacrifice accuracy for a safer bet at the box office.Thankfully this gamble paid him dividends.Enjoy.

I remember the television series when it came out,but it was in german with english subtitles. I was pleased to find the dvd had an english language option.
It was a film that just came to mind one day and when I saw it on eBay I bought it at a very reasonable price.
The film is very well acted and produced with plenty of action, I would thoroughly recomend it.

I first saw Das Boot when it was seriallised on tv,I thought then that it was the most true to life portrayal of life in a U Boat.This DVD is far superior to what I remember from the tv.
The Interior sequences are superb,and the only let down is the poor use of models in some of the exterior shots,but then again , this is not a new film so you would not expect up to date CGI effects.
To finish,anybody who wants to get an idea about what life was like on a U Boat on a war patrol,from the boredom to the terror of a depth charge attack,watch this film.
If you like this film I would also recommend the book Iron Coffins by H Werner

brilliant film, it is also the director's cut, which makes a lot more sense of a complex story. Could be regarded as two films...and viewed in two parts if the length is an obstacle.

Having read books from both sides of the battle of the Atlantic "Iron Coffins" and many biog's and autobiogs from surviving Frigate, Corvette and Destroyer Captains, I believe I have a pretty good insight into the coldness fear and Horror of this episode of the war.

Das Boot is an incredible film that highlights the fears, dangers and sheer hell that faced Hitlers U Boat arm. Over 90% of all U Boats were sunk and the losses in men were correspondent. Yet there was never a shortage of volunteers to man the new boats that were being commissioned.

I think this is a must for youngsters both British and German to watch--as a very committed English man I found myself still hopeing for their survival.

It is one of the most gripping films I have seen recently

I'm a fan of a good ole war movie, and ive only ever watched Das Boot with subtitles before. It was even better with the english dubbing, as i did'nt need to concentrate on the dialogue on screen therefore missing out on what was happening on screen action wise. The dubbing is by the original cast into english and is seamless. Fantastic movie, eyes were glued to the screen for title roll till the credits came rolling down.

Excellent script, cast and cinematography telling the story of a U-Boat crew. Oddly enough, it's probably better in the original German with english sub-titles rather than the overdubbed english. However, in whichever version it's captivating viewing.

Das Boot (DVD 1998)
It's a modern classic.
We see the U boat as an underdog for a change.
Good realism shows the cramped, stinking, dangerous and un-glamourous side to the German submarine crews life.
Whilst the German civilians were being fed the glamourous propaganda of the grey wolf packs.
It is a movie to keep and see every few months when the detail is forgoten.
A great movie for a weekend afternoon after a big lunch.

I'd heard about this movie being one of those you just had to watch to appreciate it. Well, I did and it is a very compelling film....shame about the cheesy 'at sea' scenes where you can just imagine the stage hand throwing water at the sub to simulate rough seas whilst the captain looks out...but other than that...if you get it for a good price...worth a 'punt'!
