*Ugh* I got to watch most of "Das BOOT"last night.
"HK" wrote in message ... Eisboch wrote: "Tim" wrote in message ... That is one mezmorizing film! Too abcd it came on way late last night, and I could only get half way though it before I had to sack out. Life on a German U-boat. Oh, man. I had to shut it off right when the crew was at their christmas lunch reception in Spain. I wish I'd recorded it. I'll eventually get to see the rest of it though. Great movie! It is spectacular on a good, surround sound system playing in DTS. With a large subwoofer and decent speakers, the depth charge explosions and sounds of water running down the walls of your room gives you goosebumps. Eisboch That's right: there were no spectacular movies prior to the advent of overblown consumer electronics. :) I didn't say that. Advancements in audio systems simply add to the enjoyment of a spectacular movie. If you enjoy watching fuzzy films with audio from a 3-inch speaker, have a ball. Your new Mac will do a good job.

Agreed... it gives you an good insight on human nature too. I thought it was interesting that when they hit the convoy and the captain and crew were taking a pridful grin and saying , "hear those bulkheads crumble?" Even though doing their job, they had the attitude of being the true victors in the fight., then come the destroyers and sub chasers throwing depth charges over baord. Then you see the anger from the captain;"Those pigs! Those dirty SWINE!" Like, you're not supposed to do that, you're picking on us!" Anyhow thats how I saw it. Hollywood license? I don't see how anyone could survive any type of a fire on a Uboat, especially like the one they had, besides consuming most of the limited suply of oxygen, the smoke would be the worst. But for some odd reason, it was a "clean" fire. go figure. Then there was the food hanging every where. May as well, I suppose. |

Another thing that got me, was that after surfacing to polish off the tanker, The captain made a good hit on it, the moved in to watch it sink. Then notice that there were survivors on the tanker that wer jumping overboard, he was angered that the rest of the convoy had left them there after 6 hr.s, then made the decision to leave them to the fate of the sea. One helmsman broke down into tears because there was nothing to do for the lost crewman, but I think I can understand the decision of the captain, that he had no room for prisoners, and this was a wartime decision that could have been critical to his own ships saftey. Hard decision to make, and afterwards, probably even harder to live with. |
