das boot
wud u believe me
if i told you that
a movie about 25-30 ugly men,
in the same [unchanging]location for about 3 hours,
with no conventional story progression [like 50 people go to save ryan, or 20 blowing up the guns in the guns of navarone]
and no loud chracter play [as in a character drama],
wud keep u more absorbed and involved than
most of the movies you will watch or have watched,
wud u believe me?
that's das boot.
nothing really happens in the movie. would you believe it? nothing.
it's 3 hours long.
it has no specific objective like save ryan's privates, no mission.
it has no chracter swings like a drama would.
nothing happens.
its 3 hours long and i have seen it 5 times in the last one year.
yet wolfgang petersen keeps you so hooked and tense, you dont want to miss a shot!
highly recommended. this is pure mastery. and this is one of the best arguments for the fact that a good director can make a rocking film out of nothing.
