I am always scared of ships that tend to sink. But I am willing to go pass that to give a professional review of the movie Das Boot. This movie is actually older than I am, but have constantly been praised as one of the greatness movie ever made, even to this. We will see however if it is also a realistic movie.

Das Boot is a 1981 West German war film written and directed by Wolfgang Petersen, produced by Günter Rohrbach, and starring Jürgen Prochnow, Herbert Grönemeyer, and Klaus Wennemann. It has been exhibited both as a theatrical release and a TV miniseries (1985). There are also several different home video versions of various running times, as well as a director's cut supervised by Petersen in 1997.

An adaptation of LotharGünther Buchheim's 1973 German novel of the same name based on his experiences aboard German submarine U96, the film is set during World War II and follows U96 and its crew, as they set out on a hazardous patrol in the Battle of the Atlantic. It depicts both the excitement of battle and the tedium of the fruitless hunt, and shows the men serving aboard Uboats as ordinary individuals with a desire to do their best for their comrades and their country.

During production, Heinrich LehmannWillenbrock, the captain of the real U96 during Buchheim‘s 1941 patrol and one of Germany's top Uboat "tonnage aces" during the war, and HansJoachim Krug, former first officer on U219, served as consultants. One of Petersen's goals was to guide the audience through "a journey to the edge of the mind" showing "what war is all about".

A little bit about myself: I used to work as a navigation officer for the Canadian Coast Guard fleet for more than four years. I also did my training at the Coast Guard College in Cape Breton. I took part on multiple operations around the country, including the Arctic. Nowadays, I enjoy a comfortable life on shore. I still work for the Coast Guard, but from the office. A drastic change in my everyday life, but it gave me the opportunity to do youtube videos like this one.

Got any movie or video game related to the navigation world you would like me to critique? Let me know in the comments!

Thank you for watching!
