U-571 is not a "documentary".

Rating: Null/10 (10 May 2000)

Okay, as i was reading some of the comments, i must admit that most of you guys out there gave this film a rather poor comment. Of course, why not, you based this movie to a much better one, AND you're still digging for the solid facts. Of course this movie would be a BIG TIME FLOP!
U-571 was not designed to educate us on what really happened, this film was made to entertain. Thats what Hollywood is all about. U-571, although based on a true story, is still a fiction. Do you think you would rather see this film based on the naked truth? on what really happened? I think not. If, yes, go watch a documentary.
