Randomly listened back to this today, and golly, #DasBoot is a masterpiece of a movie that led to a really great podcast discussion. It's a really good ep when I'm even pleased with my own contributions. 😄

We remain submerged for a very long time to watch a very long film, 1981’s “Das Boot.” This certifiable classic is certainly long and German, encompassing almost everything you might expect in the genre. There’s action, suspense, a lot of character moments, and long periods of tedium spent listening for bad sounds, punctuated by moments of terror as the boat goes to eleven (and beyond).

The Incomparable

📝 Plot: On a German U-boat during World War II, the crew faces the claustrophobic pressures of the sea, relentless Allied attacks, and the psychological strain of warfare. Loyalty, courage, and fear intermingle as each mission tests endurance and humanity. Amidst storms, depth charges, and tight quarters, the line between duty and survival blurs in a gripping naval thriller.

Ein Buch erneut zu lesen, das man zuletzt inTeenagertagen zum ersten mal las, ist ein multipler flashback.
Man taucht so tief wieder ein, wie man es bei ersten Lesen niemals schaffte und man fühlt sich wieder 12. Man erinnert sich an Details im Kinderzimmer. Und viele persönliche Erinnerungen aus dieser Zeit kommen wieder hervor.

Ich lese über 30 Jahre nach dem ersten Mal wieder "Das Boot" von Lothar-Günther Buchheim.

6 lutego przypada rocznica urodzin Lothara-Günthera Buchheima, niemieckiego pisarza, którego „Das Boot” stało się ikoną literatury wojennej i filmowego realizmu. Buchheim był również malarzem i entuzjastą ekspresjonizmu — jego kolekcja dziś mieści się w Muzeum Buchheima w Bernried. (fot. Wikipedia) #LotharGüntherBuchheim #DasBoot #niemieckakultura
We just finished the series Das Boot ( 2018-2023 ) completely in German. My wife was very proud of me. For me it gave me a very good insight into the source of a great deal of German culture markers.

The people my wife described as ascribing to an alt fashioned Prussian idealogy, Klaus and Willhelm Hoffman, Admiral Gluck, von Reinhartz had a very strong devotion to duty. She descirbed this as Pflichtbewusstsein and still exists in German culture today. It really seems like what modern German culture is, at least from my take away from Das Boot, is what is good from Prussian Culture burned away in a crucible of Nationalist fire and broken by the loss of WW2.

Forster the SS officer was what I really felt Nazi Germany was or a Nazi was entirely embodied. He sold his soul to nationalism hoping to repaid in moral goodness when he was robbed to the point of moral bankruptcy. In the end everything he had given away was never paid back, he lost everything and the only option he saw left when he realized his mistake was self destruction, that is, suicide.

I really thought it was very well put together. There were no heroes that survived. In fact nobody really survived unharmed. It was a very good WW2 series that did not praise Nazis. That instilled the ideas and feelings of what Europe really feels like. And it ends all of it's sad disparate story lines with closure that isn't like Rogue One's Deus ex Machina Death Star coming over the horizon to end all the story lines at once. Perfectly encapsulated story about resistance under severe occupation. What it looked to have morals in an immoral time and a demonstration of what Nazis really were--sad, misled, morally-bankrupt losers.

I would highly recommend it. I would recommend it more if you can speak German and English at least, tho Italian, French and Portuguese would likely help too.

As a side note I had biblical malafors Like when the US Admiral says "And the USA found war and saw that it was good". Like I get it. I know you are trying to build a metaphor to this persons perceived godhood but they really make my skin crawl when people try to insert themselves into the Bible. Like don't do less of them. I just don't like characters or people that make them.
