Das Boot Film Review: Wolfgang Petersen 1981 - FILMS N THAT

This time on Films N That we are looking at the German submarine film Das Boot. Directed by Wolfgang Petersen, Das Boot follows a war correspondent taking pictures aboard a U-boat in 1942. While his initial intention is to photograph heros, that very quickly falls by the wayside as he descends into madness with the rest of the crew.
Das Boot brilliantly depicts the horrors of serving on a submarine in world war two, and how the claustrophobia and isolation turns to madness in the deep.

Fun fact. Herbert Gronemeyer / Lt. Werner ist a musican who lives in London / England.

They (the film-makers) had planned to open up the set and film from the outside, but found in the process that it destroyed the claustrophobic feel they were after. Cramming the cameraman in with the actors put the audience there, too. I think they also helped pioneer steadycam.

So much fun that you really liked the Journalist guy. He went on to become the biggest selling music artist in Germany after the movie. And his music is known for being poetic, political at times and fun. He is a great guy, Herbert Grönemeyer.

It's "Das Boot", like in "Das Boat" (small ship) and not "Das Buut" (like boots in footwear).

The key is under the surface of the subtitles.

[@allesanders1809]

Plz speak "Das Boot" like "the boat". You talk it like "Das Stiefel" = "the boot or boots" it´s not right.

When are people going to finally learn to pronounce this film title properly ?
