U571 - a good story - thats all it is a story

Rating: 5/10 (3 November 2013)

as a Man who was bought up and lived in Bletchley for Many years , I am very very proud of having lived very close to the Bletchley Park, I know its history, even worked with some of the people, when they were older and i was a young man just starting out.
When the Movie came out i made it clear to everyone i knew NOT TO WATCH IT, as it was derogatory to the men and women of the British armed services and the park who got hold of the enigma and cracked the codes As a Story this is great adventure, steal an enigma and hopefully shorten the war...with some great set pieces and superb cast.
Watch it if it comes on as its a good film, and thats all it is a film as already said its not historically accurate, but thats the point, there are lots of war films out there that are not, and are boys own stories, with out stories of guts, guns and Glory, there would be little to film.
One final Point - I have to point out - The real U Boat story DAS BOOT, is considered one of the most accurate movies made, its also a rare POV from the German side, One where i actually scream at the Scumbags who sink the boat, all they went through to get that happen ..and they are the RAF...but im British...
