THAT I have to agree with. That movie was total UTTER ****! A total rip off of das Boot, and totally fake story, raping and augmenting history to fit their own ideas of a patriotic movie. Meh... And what was even more STUPID was the fact that they even dedicated the film to the crews of the brittish battleships that aquired the true Enigma machine and its codes. I could have understood if they made it as a fictional film to with submarines, but to totally rape the capture of the enigma machine that almost everyone knows about is really rediculous.
Yes, the US film industry along with every other film industry in the world has no right to start augmenting history to make it more convinient for them, becuase many people unfortunately take it to be fact when they watch movies. So it can simply be seen as propaganda. Especially when its a historical movie, many will not question the authenticity of it. Well, thankfully U-571 did get
of attention from
of people and never really did very well.
However, if they keep away from history and make fictious tales in which they win all the time, I don't see anything wrong with it. Or if they decide to make historic movies that
portray the truth, then I don't see anything wrong with that either. Though seeing the slowly waving american flag infront of a blue sky gets a little tedious, I can't complain. The film is after all entertainment, and its not really my place to pull down some elses creative work unless ofcourse its historical rape...
