"Das Boot" -> Remake?

<< < (6/7) > >>

Rokket:
Watching more, still enjoying...BUT...wrong champagne glass for 1942...OK, no reeeel big deal..but then without spoiling, a bizarre blow all ballast/surface thing....dramatic, but could have been more so, AND accurate!

Rokket:
Finished. Overall, worth watching, but definitely a mixed bag. The uboot stuff is very Hollywood with all the things that happen, and I almost was more interested in the land/Resistance story. And the boat looks so weird on the outside because...yes, it truly is from that movie. You know tghe one. I would check out the miniseries though, it's worth watching for different reasons. But...SIGH.

Hi Rokket,

thanks for your informations. Saw a commercial here in Germany on free television for the Sky mini series, don't know if the series will be available for "non Sky channel watchers" maybe on DVD.

Already Lothar Günther Buchheim the author of the "The Boat" was dissatisfied with the movie version of his book. He called the movie later disrespectfully "Unterwasser-Western" which means "Underwater western movie".

Did they add the nervous breakdown scene of Johann in the remake?

Regards
falo

Rokket:
Hi falo,
No nervous breakdown. Western is very well put, because they go on a special mission and all kinds of things happen! Very Hollywood! But everyone should watch it. Except Dougie. (He would need a straight jacket for parts...) ;D
And it's far better than U-571! (but that doesn't say much really...)

42rocker:
Looking forward to seeing this sometime. Hope that it makes it to netflix someday. 
 
Later Tim
