Watch Das Boot For Free

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

If you think war is about glory and medals and patriotism and an evil enemy, think again. War is protrayed here to be very real, very gritty, with not much glory in the end. In stead of forcing the melodrama upon us, in stead of painting the enemy as monsters, we see ordinary men caught up in the reality of it all. This is, as the other reviewers have pointed out, a legendary movie.

Das boot, a movie, which its shape mostly about thrill. Its main focus was to thrill the audiences implicitly. There is something classy about Das Boot, yeah, its thrilling concept. It thrills the audience in a unique way, not by scary scores or back-sound or surprising music, nor by cool action schemes supported by cool CGI, nor scary art-direction make-up or set decoration. Das boots thrill is about emotion and tension. Emotions about hopeless, the powerless crews who got stuck by the tension of sea war and trapped in their only self-saver tool, a submarine. The only option about dying or surviving is the main uplifting aspect to the thrills. Every new rising action or climax scenes begin, they always fall for those 2 option, whether they saves the day or sinking to death. One more good aspect is, Das Boot play and brings its thrill really slow. Sometimes they cut from the outside to the inside as the thrills begin to grow the thrill into audiences slowly. Cameras set piece to shot the tension and emotion of crew really precise. The editing seems incredibly accurate. We also can't forget the realistic impact sounds which erupt scenes, nice work by sound-effect team.When i first watch Das Boot, i realize that i never feel so much thrill before and this movie set my new standard to thrill genre. They play in one set place only (submarine) most of its duration, but the layer of its thrill is so deep which that was hard things to do as a director. Das Boot is at top tier of thrill genre movies.

As a war film, Das Boot does what any great war film should does. It does not take one side or the other, but rather allows the audience to make up its own mind. This is especially true considering that Das Boot is a German film about a German U-Boat crew set in World War 2. The German sailors aren't portrayed as villains nor are their actions glorified. Rather they are hard- working men who fought out of love for their country. They were united by their loyalty to each other and to their country. Das Boot did a brilliant job at portraying the relationships that these men shared.Stylistically, the film was also brilliant. It conveyed the claustrophobic feel of the submarine, which was emphasised by the dim lighting.This is a fantastic film about how war can affect men of all races and nationalities. Watch it.Read my full review here: http://goo.gl/dYtLl6

Brilliant, intense, realistic, gritty WW2 drama.1941 and the Battle of the Atlantic - German U-boats versus freighters supplying Britain - is underway. We see this struggle from the side of a German U-boat crew, U-96. We see them relaxing and having fun in port, the boredom of patrol, the tension of stalking a convoy and the sheer terror when they become the hunted.Superb military drama. Probably the most accurate depiction of wartime submarine life you'll ever see, and surely one of the most realistic war dramas ever made. Incredibly tense at times and extremely enthralling.Quite novel for its time in that it is a WW2 story told from the German perspective. Superb plot, great action scenes, especially for its time, and solid performances. Hard to find a fault with this. A masterpiece.
