Or over-rated. Among other things, it was the Royal Navy that captured German cipher books and gear (U-110) in 1940. Why does Hollywood feel the need to inject Americans where they don't belong?
As someone who watched Das Boot first (absolutely loved it), I got to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this movie! Sure, it's not historically accurate, but it was thrilling. Every action, threat, and decision seemed believable enough for a movie like this. And the movie actually pays tribute to the actual operations of capturing the Enigma just before the credits roll. Really, not a bad movie at all.
@@JohnDoe-ks6is Oh, okay. Well, unless the movie is trying to recreate historical events, I don't think that historical accuracy of the plot line is as important as of other elements.
@@georgeofhamilton I agree and in the end they did credit the British for the actual capture. Perhaps if the made the same movie but with Royal Navy sailors instead of US Navy it would have had better reception.
@@JohnDoe-ks6is Yeah, I don't get some of the choices that they made with this movie, but as for the original comment, other than the plot, I'm not sure what else is historically inaccurate.
@@bolobalaman Yeah...it was just so out of nowhere that they diced him like that in the movie. I think him getting a few extra holes during his cameo in Young Guns II had a similar effect to women and girls everywhere.

"she's old, but she'll hold." That was just too much for her being broadsided like that! Good leadership tp tell Lt. Tyler by the CO to dive, right to the very end for him.
While the Type XIV resupply U-boats did not have torpedo tubes, the Type IXD2 and Type X transports did. They could've carried the parts and mechanics bound for U-571 and sunk the USS S-33. Though the Type 10 had only two stern tubes.

@@geeebuttersnap2433 I don’t remember if he was the photographer, it’s been a while, but he’s the dude that gets hit by a piece of debris into the water and presumably dies as we don’t see him again.
@@michaelkovacic2608 You especially can't disguise it as a Type XIV. Also, the Americans had German medals like the Iron Cross. A German submariner NEVER wore one of those at sea.
Hollywood should make a film about the Laconia incident and tell the story of the real life Americans heroes who were given medals for their valiant efforts on that fine day and how it lead to the scene depicted here.
Besides that, the Type XIV Uboats were strictly for resupply and were unarmed. They were nicknamed "Milchkuh", meaning "Milk Cow". The Type XIV's were primarily tanker subs, and as such, lacked torpedo tubes.
+Mr Niceguy productions Standards really have altered at this point. Back then, you couldn't get away with decapitation under a PG-13 rating (which this scene was originally going to have), but by the time the third Lord of the Rings movie came out, it became permissible to feature decapitation (if used sparingly and not overly graphic, I think).
That's something which they always do wrong in movies. Germany had at that point torpedoes which didn't leave a trail of bubbles, so you wouldn't see them coming at you. They always show the bubbles in the movies, because it's more dramatic, but it isn't accurate.
Germany used both electric (G7e) and compressed air (G7a) torpedoes. The G7a required less maintenance and was faster. Unlike the G7e, it could also be carried outside the pressure hull.
@@michaelkovacic2608 Yep. I was referring to the G7e, but didn't want to get too technical here. :) What I didn't know that far was that you could not carry the G7e outside of the hull... I knew you could do that for the G7a, and somehow assumed it held true for the G7e as well.
Yes (one of them at least, they had several). Though in reality it was the British who captured the Enigma, not the Americans. That's just Hollywood...
Who fired that torpedo? Don't tell me it was a destroyer who sank the u.s submarine. When he looked at the submarine he looked like saying what the? Sad thing.
It was the German resupply submarine, although in real life Type XIV supply U-boats did not possess torpedo tubes, but then again this movie is fictional
+Garrett Schmidt It was a Second German Sub, the one that the S-33 was impersonating. The U-571 had requested help after a Convoy Attack went bad, and the S-33 was dispatched by the U.S to capture the Sub's Enigma device. Unfortunately for the Yanks, the Actual Relief U-Boat got there earlier than expected.
Not only were the resupply subs not armed with torpedoes, they were nicknamed "Milk Cows" for how fat they were, there's no way a German crew would mistake a US sub with nazi markings as a "Milk Cow", and trying to disguise a US sub as a "Milk Cow" would have been very difficult.
This movie is another of the many scoundrels of the US and Hollywood. The real action to capture the nazi Enigma machine, which took place in May 1941, was carried out by an English, not American, command as it appears in this film, among other reasons, because at that time the United States had not yet entered the war. In the book on which the film of Russell Crowe is based, The Farthest Coast, the pirate ship against which the English fight is not French, is American. American political propaganda has no scruples about misrepresenting history, and adulterating literature, when this suits their political interests. On numerous occasions the US has fabricated "incidents" to justify their invasions or their bombings, false indeed. This has been revealed by their own documents once they were declassified.
U-571 was much more egregious than The Far Side of the World, as the former represents a near-total fabrication of the taking of U-110 and U-559, both by the British Royal Navy; the latter is a retelling of a fictional action, though inspired by the taking of the USS Essex. Also, The Far Side of the World made a much better attempt to depict what conditions would have been like on a warship of the period.
If they had the americans use the german crew it would been awsome as they stole the show(sorry Jon bon jovi😂)and as for Das boot nothing can in my eyes compare to it
RIP Bill Paxton :(
1:38 Being strapped to a stretcher and knowing that you are going to drown is very unnerving. That scene has always freaked me out a little.
Had a dream like that once. Baddest wake up of my life.
the saddest scene in the movie (and the boy who drowns at the end too).
That was the guy who just got married.
yikes thats Captain Speirs from band of brothers
I know right? The other scene that to this day gives me nightmares is when that small dude drowned in the bilge trying to close the valves

That is correct, but in a situation like this, the nearest uboat would respond. They would not send out an extra boat with specific parts.
The music is pretty darn good, it's hard to believe the composer only did music for 3 Ninjas and other crap.
I love the perfect Andy overall the noise the ADR 😂😆 lol lol

The American Sub was redressed to look German so in fact, the torpedoes could have come from a US sub - if it were real.
That's why I don't like the idea of the S-33 being sent out alone disguised as a U-boat.

Am not gone to lie, but Bill Paxton was wasted in this film because we thought he was gone to be one of the main characters.
Wait how did the resupply submarine know that was an American UBoat?

S33 doesn't sound so epic.
Where did that torpedo come from. Another u boat?
yes.
dude if you watched the movie the torpedo came from another u boat which gets torpedoed by the u 571

Yes (one of them at least, they had several). Though in reality it was the British who captured the Enigma, not the Americans. That's just Hollywood...
It’s a movie not a documentary
how did Bill Paxton know the torpedo was coming?
He didn't, just turned around to see if everything was ok. As he saw the trail he knew it was too late anyways.
He heard the water, saw the trail. You can tell he heard something unsettling by the way he turned and looked at the water
omg 🤯 good lord that explosion wow , wow poor men's they sacrifice they souls to safe author's hms hood lost 1600 just 3 survive
why the boat from the explosion of torpedoes not torn in half because torpedoes break the ships
Because its a movie. In real life, torpedoed submarines disappeared within seconds. They have basically no reserve buoyancy.
Rly???, all of them come in and leave 2 of them drown, wtf???.

it is secret
