I want everyone to get out of their seats this weekend and go rent this movie. Das Boot - The Directors Cut (DVD, 1997, Keep Case) 121 product ratings About this product Brand new 13.48 New (other) 8.49 Pre-owned 2.83 Make an offer: Pre-owned Auction: Pre-owned 10.48 Stock photo Brand new: Lowest price 9.99 + 3. I think it IS the best war film ever released (that I have seen). I have not been this entertained for a long time. That is what America teaches us, fight for what we believe in.doesn't it? I could talk about this for hours, but instead I am going to sit back, relax, and tell you how wonderful Das Boot was to watch. They had families, they had pasts, they had homes that they left to become a part of history. The Germans are human being also, who fought for their country just as valiantly as our soldiers did during WWII. This film humanizes the German's conditions during the war. We learn about them as a statistic, and never put these heroes on a human level. In history class we didn't learn about the casualties of the Germans in WWII. Now don't get me wrong, these are fun sometimes, but I love to see a different angle.
#DASBOOT THE HUNTER MOVIE#
So many years I have watched war movie after war movie that show the victorious American's beating the classic "evil-doers". Finally, I am also a fan of films that tell a different angle on the story. I think that during one of the bombing scenes I broke a sweat because of what was happening on screen. Peterson perfectly portrays a feeling of crampness and claustrophobia wrapped together as one. With his direction, I felt that I was on this U-Boat with the crew. You can see their fear, their excitement, their sadness, and their power by just the way that Peterson directs them. While not much dialogue happens in this film, you can see everyone's expressions on their faces, and those expressions tell better stories than words. An intriguing, though somewhat underdeveloped story of a mercenary hunter (Willem Dafoe) tasked with the mission of finding and killing the last remaining Tasmanian devil in the. Director Wolfgang Peterson gives us some great characters. So many times we have seen wars play out on land, and while there is only so much you can show with a land fight, the war field on the open sea allows for so much more creativity.

The ocean is almost like fighting in another world.

I think it has to do somewhat with my passion for sci-fi. I don't know why I love this genre so much. Both of them rank as my top action films. I loved The Hunt for Red October and Crimson Tide. Everyone needs to realize that I have a fascination with submarine films. If I had the time to take this movie door-to-door and sit down with everyone in America to watch this film, I would.
