Fantastisch aber auch skeptisch

Rating: 9/10 (4 September 2008)

No blockbuster's been a skeptic document film. Not all members of NSDAP are brutal monsters. On the contrary, many of them were just normal people, who we meet every day when passing by groceries or kinos. They were fooled by the NSDAP because they struggled at each effort to survive after WWI. However, I am not here defending for the war crimes nor stupid crazy nationalism. To be frank, there were enough reasons for the German captain to shoot the Allied sailors at the beginning of the film, because the U-Boat was severely damaged and no more materials were prepared for POWs. Although he repeated certain order from his Führer that no POW should be kept alive, he got no other better choice but to shoot them due to the strict political surveillance at his time and side. Meanwhile, the captain was later saved not because of the humanity of the American sailors but that he might be useful since the Navy special force was then on a German U-Boat. These are my opinions. No offense, but I enjoy democracy...
