	Das Boot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Das Boot (IPA: [dɑs boːt], German for The Boat) is a film directed by Wolfgang Petersen, adapted from a novel of the same name by Lothar-Günther Buchheim.
		Petersen then oversaw the editing of six hours of film, from which was distilled Das Boot: The Director's Cut, 216 minutes long (3 hours, 36 minutes), released in 1997, which combines the action sequences seen in the feature-length version with character-development scenes contained in the mini-series.
		Most of the filming was done in one year; to make the appearance of the actors as realistic as possible, scenes were filmed in sequence over the course of the year.

		Das Boot is a Second World War U-boat thriller based on the novel by Lothar-Günther Buchheim and on actual events.
		Das Boot, shot in 1981 by Wolfgang Petersen, is one of the rare valuable products of German cinema in the last decades - a pity, if one considers that in the 1920s, the country was at the forefront of filmmaking - and was nominated for five Academy Awards.
		Das Boot opened director Wolfgang Petersen the doors to Hollywood where he shot movies such as Outbreak, In The Line Of Fire, Air Force One and others.

	DVD Verdict Review - Das Boot: The Original Uncut Version
		Still, Das Boot is such a large tale, its characters so numerous, its Atlantic theater setting so vast and violent, one can imagine Petersen consuming ten times the budget he did in order to tell the same story.
		Das Boot is an action/anti-war film, its U-boat crew not Nazis party members but weary soldiers doing their duty.
		Das Boot: The Original Uncut Version is a rare example of additional footage actually enhancing rather than diminishing a film's artistic power.

	DAS BOOT: THE DIRECTOR'S CUT - SUPERBIT DVD
		Caught in the maddening doldrums between one act of unimaginable violence and its inevitable aftershocks, America's implacable disquiet is one part anticipation of the inevitable, multiple parts cynicism, and, for a large portion of the population, a dollop of distinct lack of faith in the motives and competency of our leadership.
		Technical achievements aside, Das Boot's key scene is undoubtedly the one where the Captain orders a slow retreat from drowning and burning enemy sailors, the power of the moment lit with astonishing clarity by Prochnow's humanity.
		Das Boot: The Director's Cut is the first Superbit title that lives up to the hype and promise of the gimmick.

		In addition to being a great thriller, Das Boot also makes pointed statements about human nature and war, and the visceral eloquence with which they are expressed highlights the film's power.
		War is one of the great dehumanizing experiences -- it becomes "us" against "them." In Das Boot, the victims of the U-boat's attacks remain faceless entities until one wrenching scene when the crew is forced to confront the terrible ramifications of their actions.

	Das Boot Director's Cut Movie Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		"Das Boot" deconstructs the mythos of the valiant German submarines and their valorous crews who steadfastly defended their Fatherland in a series of decisive tactical strikes.
		In reality, the U-Boats were cramped (you had to drop everything you were doing and stand up whenever anyone wanted to pass by), dehumanizing (with no such thing as privacy in the crowded crew quarters), and cesspools for various forms of pestilence, such as crab lice.
		If you enjoyed "Das Boot" in its original theatrical release, you will definitely enjoy the Director's Cut, which provides a more complete portrayal of events on board a U-Boat.

		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.
		Petersen commented that the captain of the U-boat in DAS BOOT, at around 30 years old, would have been considered one of the German fleet's oldest captains.
