You never even saw the movie but still saw fit to vent your spleen over it in these forums?

Yes!

In fact I even had the opportunity to see it for free but still boycotted it because I didn't want to be added to the viewing figures...

Its a decent film, if you ignore the historical inaccuracy that the US navy were the first to get the enigma codes, and that their capture of them was of absolute importance.

Didn't the Brits get it off a fishing trauler a few years before U-571 is supposedly set?

What's the big deal?

Why not watch "The Sound Barrier", by David Lean instead? It's a gripping account of how the sound barrier was first broken by a heroic British test pilot.

Why ***** about U-571? It doesn't say it's a historical documentary or anything? It'd be like protesting Young Einstein, because AE wasn't from Australia, etc.

I'm not *****ing about it - I said I may even enjoy it...

It doesn't say it isn't either - if almost half the pop of the US can't even figure out that Al Qaeda and the Taliban were based in Afghanistan or that 30% of them can't even point to the Pacific Ocean despite the fact that the entire US western seaboard is a part of it - then we can fairly expect these same morons to believe that it is historically accurate...

That is because you are an intelligent person, whose friends are also probably intelligent too - hell, even the idiots on this forum are relative rocket scientists compared to the human member of the herd on the streets...

What's there to research? Even the tv-pages in the Dutch newspapers say it is historical s**t.

I mean, really, Mobius, do you think that Americans would think a film where Jon Bon Jovi is a star is meant to be serious .

um... i duno about other americans, but everyone i know ASSUMES movies are total fiction unless the film exlicitly says its based on a true story (which all true stories say, it like a rating). I had the hardest time trying to convince my friend that Black Hawk Down was an actual occurance... he only saw parts of the movie and ddint realize it was based on the American action in Mogadishu.

Yes but you scored 20/20 on the Nat G quiz - as opposed to a large proportion of your compatriots...

Oh and it was a SH*T movie BTW - I was quite enjoying it until they survived the U Boat attack, and it rapidly sunk to even greater depths from that point on as disbelief had to be suspended from ever increasing and dizzying heights...

There was nothing new in it that wasn't covered by 'Das Boot' in a far superior way - a total waste of celluloid apart from a fairly commendable appearance by Bon Jovi, considering...

Total American Hollywood bullcrap!

Why didn't they just do something on the fascinating actual capture of U-505 by a US task force???

	13-07-2003 05:05									#29
	Full PM-box? Change here!

Yeah, it pretty much sucked, didn't it? I had to rewatch Das Boot (German version) to purify my sub-movie watching soul after seeing U-571 on video.

As soon as it got down to them trying to operate the boat at all on an 8 man crew, I knew they didn't have **** for technical consultants, and the rest of it would just get worse.

Made for a great original troll for you, though.
