Pros and Cons of Films: Vol. 1 (121 movies items)

"Pros: It’s a epic war movie, that tells the story from the German perspective, soldiers who are caught as cogs in a machine, that neither of them asked for. The dramatic tension and dread, that happens though out the movie. The cinematography. The claustrophobia of being on a submarine, especially one that is gradually doomed to disaster, Cons: For some, the idea of the German perspective belies the fact that the they are still the bad guys. It’s epic time length, maybe too long for s"

"Quite possibly the greatest submarine flick ever. I say "possibly" because I'm not exactly sure. I've only seen two sub flicks in my life. The Hunt for Red October and this one. And while Red October was a pretty good Jack Ryan thriller, it certainly doesn't hold a submersible lamplight to this one.
