Even at 300 minutes, some of the crew are characterized only in the broadest strokes (there's the angry guy, the religious guy, etc.) but it matters little when I could drown in this film with its lived-in sets and its facial expressions that convey the extremes of human emotion. Every frame is dripping with perspiration, you feel the crew's anxiety as your own when the ship's hull groans under increasing pressure. It's a five-hour movie about watching beards grow, and not a second too long.

It's pronounced boat. It's just spelled boot. Look it up.

Das Boot is not a film. Das Boot is time travel. It reaches out to you through the screen and softly pulls you into its world. And it is lovely. And it is terrible. Men try to kill men and they're not sure why. The pressure pushes all good thoughts, all good memories, all light and love and warmth into darkness. Misery. Misery is an ever present cloak, heavy and damp. It's war. No coat of sugar here. No meaning to the heroism. I'm haunted by their faces, those friends of mine from das boot.

A true masterpiece. Much slower than the theatrical release, but much more fleshed out and character-driven.
