Das Boot - The Director's Cut (DVD, 2004, Original Uncut Version; 2-Disc Set)

Tina had not seen this one before, and I had not viewed the extended version of the film.

It was very long... but gripping. The action was very realistic, and there were long minutes of no activity, just waiting for the depth charges to go off near the hidden submarine.

We watched part of it in dubbed English, then dubbed English with English subtitles, then German language with English subtitles. Very interesting way to watch a movie!

Recommended viewing for those that have not seen the movie before!

Sometime if you can, you ought to take a tour of a submarine from that era. There is one in San Francisco that I have taken before. It will amaze you on how life was on such a machine!

This was the original 5 hour version (not the director's cut). Very grity as to what u-boat life was like during WWII. Excellent acting and special effects. Surprise ending.

If you turn on the Closed Caption and well as the English translation, you will notice some differences in what is said and what is shown on the CC. For realistic viewing turn on the German language and read the CC.

Enjoyed the movie. Would rate it 9 out of 10 stars.

I always enjoy seeing the original language film rather than the English version.
Das Boot is one of the best films of its genre and we see from the perspective life in a WWII U-Boat. The acting is superb as is the story, and Jurgen Prochnow at his best. I have seen it more than a few times and every time I see it I notice something new which I had not seen before. I recommend it highly and when you see it you may never look at a U-Boat or its' crew in the same way again. Their desparate fight to achieve their mission and live is memorable.

I particularly enjoyed the theme music to this movie its very nicely done. The movie gives you a clear impression of the rough and tumble of a soldiers lot cooped up in a submarine albeit from the German perspective rather than the usual British. These are very human figures connecting to the reality that confronts them and the loves they have left behind and who await tem. If they make it back safely that is, while navigating the treacherous waters in their Uboat. If you love the German people as I do, you will want to see this movie for the great spirit that is German. A bit less than polished perhaps in the interplay between the actors but then they have their hearts in the right place. A movie worth owning and perhaps a nice one to donate to the local library as well.

If you like accurate war movies then you will love this. 5 hours of true u-boat experiences. This movie tells it like it was not the way hollywood wants it to be. Only bad thing about this movie is that it not long enough and the behind the scenes could be much longer as well.

received item perfect shape and with know delays very pleased with trans action hope to do more business thanks

IF YOU LIKE WAR FLICKS OR HUMAN EXPERIENCE FLICKS, JUST GO AHEAD AND BUY AND WATCH... THIS MOVIE RULES...

Reasonable price, seller had 100% + feedback, content of DVD is what I was looking for. Needed it for research project.

I already knew the movie but this DVD was very good. If you can stand the extended version I highly recommend this version. The item arrived quickly and in good condition
