Hollywood re-writing history?

Rating: Null/10 (6 September 1999)

Ok, ok, so this is only a film. A film about how the US Navy finds a stranded U-boat, captures it's enigma machine, breaks the code and wahay, America has won the war. Sounds great doesn't it? If you like the sound of this film, you'd like another one that is in the pipeline. It's called "Flight 27-b" and is about how an RAF Shackleton bomber dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan. But hey, something's wrong with that isn't there? It never happened did it?
Ok, so I've made my point. And like I say, U-571 is only a film following the trend of recent WWII movies coming out like Saving Private Ryan and The thin red line. I have to admit, it will be nice to see a modern day war film about the Navy during WWII, but it's annoying to see such historically inaccurate films like this coming out that takes the credit away from one nation and gives it to another that, and let's be honest here, doesn't need much more really now does it?
