<HTML>(Chris,
with all due respect for your well argumented points, I would still like to say: )
Sed,
on the contrary! U-571 is morally far inferior to das Boot. Das Boot shows people in situations that actually happened. U571 shows hypernationalistic untruths, depicting people as puppets, either 'good' or 'evil'. It invents other untruths along the way, all for the sake of glorifying something that never was.
U571 is a pack of lies, deliberately aimed to distort the view nowadays people have of the second world war. Mostow has the mores of a particularly lowly alleycat.
As for the technical faults of U571, let's simpy say that Megabytes of webspace could be filled pointing them out. Laughable.
(also see my reaction to the topic: what was so bad about U571)
