U-571 was a fantasy movie. I enjoyed it, but it took serious detours from history. I saw an interview of one of the people involved in creating it. He saw this cool sub and wanted to create a movie surrounding the sub, and there you have it. Cheesy

Couldn't he have rented "Das Boot"? I admit, amongst those with an appreciation of history on this side of the pond (and that is preposterously few), "U-571" wasn't warmly welcomed. Sadly it was akin to remaking the "Dam Busters" with a Sqn of B-17s, Tom Cruise as Lt Col G P Gibson MoH, Silver Star* and Bette Midler as the proprieter of "Petwood's", the crew's regular evening haunt...

I perferctly understand you on this one. Though I bought it, I only watched it once, and all the while I was thinking how insulted the British audience would be.

I know U-571 isn´t really a realistic movie, but it partially catches the atmosphere quite well....

But about Der Untergang, it was the only movie I have yet seen where people sat in the cinema 2-5 minutes after the movie, just thinking. No one went out when the movie was actually over.

First thing I muttered about 20 minutes after the movie was "I would have fought as well".
