Das Boot (The Boat) :: [Part 3 of 28]

In the midst of World War II, as the tide turns against the Axis, a German U-boat crew is sent out to patrol the Atlantic and fire at Allied ships bringing supplies to England. The submarine also carries a press correspondent, there to report from the front lines of nautical warfare. Meanwhile, the crew's captain (Jürgen Prochnow) is becoming disillusioned with the Nazi regime and with war in general. What starts out as a routine mission is soon livened up beyond the crew's expectations when their boat's surprise attack on a convoy is thwarted by a fast-moving destroyer. Battered by depth charges, the crew must pull together to survive the attacks of their unseen enemy. Widely considered to be director Wolfgang Petersen's best film and one of the finest German films ever made, DAS BOOT is stunningly realistic in its portrayal of the cramped conditions aboard a German submarine. Based on a novel by Lothar G. Buchheim, it is a striking example of an intelligent antiwar film clothed in the guise of a military thriller.

What are u talkin about, of course he says "Bärte", beards. Thats why he goes on about the British seeying "baby-faced kids" in the paper..

probably not so much censored as just cut up. this version has quite a few more scenes in it than I have seen before. the two with the French girl Francois, for example

still he says 'Werte' so values. Even though you are right about the beards, but just so you know, you can get the whole movie in english as well, not only subtitled.

I am posting this comment some hours later than my previous one, and I gave the issue some thought...The "beard" - stuff makes sense as well, if you look at the sailors at the beginning of the film. They are young, enthusiastic, and full of life, they are youngsters you could say, and when they return they look old and grey. Two months out in the war let them grow older as if it had been two decades...

At 6:30 the "Kaleun" really says "Cause then they got a value..."I think he means the pictures of a returning crew have a value cause at least that crew survived the sortie...German is my Mothertounge, so I`m pretty sure he meant "Werte" (values), not "Bärte" (beards).The pronunciation of both words is quite similar, so that little mistake is understandable, but it changes the translation a lot.:) I just want to help :)
