| BTW Zakk I actually prefer to turn off the English voices and watch it in German with subtitles, far more authentic and as I remember it when I was 'ickle. |

| I thought about that mate.......but its quite well dubbed (well I think it is). Best thing is: I knew NOTHING about it at all.....Sair has had it on her shelf since I've known her....and am I pleased or WHAT? Torpedos ...I never knew they were SO DAMN BIG  Anyway....back to the film....its quite intriguing, and I'm only just into it.

| I remember reading in the papers about a bloke who remade all 3 hours of Das Boot in using his garden shed as the set and just one camera. You think he had to much time on his hands? Living and dying laughing and crying Once you have seen it you will never be the same Life in the fast lane is just how it seems Hard and it is heavy dirty and mean  |

| lol Actually it doesn't suprise me  Zakk - just remember its a true story  The ginger chap with the floppy hair (the War correspondant) was Lothar Gunther Buchheim, and he wrote about his account aboard a German U-Boat U96, this was later made into the novel, Das Boot. My dad has a book with actual photos taken by Bucheim during a depth charge attack, everything is blurred due to the violent impact, but you can make out Captain Willenbrock holding onto the periscope shaft, incredible stuff. I can't say enough about the film, its an absolute masterpiece, Just enjoy it Last edited by Skii; 07-08-2003 at 07:27 PM.. |

...and I'm sure Zak would agree! (TiG, how dare you make such a remark!!??!!! You'll be shot down in flames... quite lierally probably if Zak sorts out his IL2 gameplay!) I've had a lot of sobering thoughts in my time.... It was them that started me drinking. |
