I don't understand why they can't simply dub the scenes where the actors are supposed to speak "perfect" German (or any other foreign language they're not capable of). Here it would have been really necessary, not even a deaf would be fooled by this blah blah. I know it's just a movie but if they're trying to do it right they should do so in every aspect.
Another ridiculous aggrandisement of the USA. This time taking the achievements of other nations and fabricating themselves as hero's. An almost complete inability as a nation to see themselves as anything but superior, at least in Hollywood. You don't need a work of fiction around the Enigma story the real events are far more compelling, It just does not involve the Yanks.
@terrortorn U-505 and her Enigma machine and code books were captured on June 4 1944 by United States Navy Task Group 22.3 off the coast Rio de Oro. Fool.
@MrPatt1983 12 years after the Polish recovered the first machine and 3 years after the British recovered the first Naval enigma and 12 others followed and one to the Canadians. By the time the Yanks got hold of one the code was being routinely read by Bletchley Park. There is no note as to the fictional nature of the film in its credits, and the screenwriter apologised for a "mercenary distortion" to drive American audiences. But you knew this didn't you Yank.
@terrortorn Yes I did know that because I researched the movie after watching it for the first time recently. I was also just pointing out to you that what you said "It just does not involve the Yanks" was untrue. Don't be upset because you are wrong. I realize there is no note to the fictional nature of the movie, but the movie doesn't claim to be based on a true story either. There is however a mention in the credits to actual capturing of Enigmas, I thought that was enough to imply fiction.
@MrPatt1983 You thought wrong. The Yank contribution was a footnote. Here is an opportunity for a work of fact on a War winning discovery but it won't happen because Americans are too insular . There is a wealth of true stories about this but leave it to the Yanks to manufacture one where they are the hero's. There is something valueless about that sort of morality. Don't complain when one of your major cultural assets, the celluloid world of make believe is found wanting in the real world.
@terrortorn Well that's your opinion. I guess you need a message at the beginning of each movie explaining to you if it is true or not. If a movie doesn't claim to be based on a true story then that means it is usually not true. In no way did the film ever imply to be based on actual events. It was for entertainment purposes only. Hollywood is in the entertainment business, not the educational business. If you want education watch a documentary or read a book or make a movie of your own.
That in no way negates the obligation of an industry that makes the rules up as it suits to be morally honest when dealing with something that is based on real events in living memory. Its only entertainment is no defense. There are many films and documentaries based on the real story only America feels fit to do this. Clearly in America you need a message explaining this has been dumbed down for your understanding and altered for your sense of pride.
@terrortorn The movie is very loosely based on real events. Its not as if the U.S. didn't capture a single Enigma and went and made a movie about capturing one. Okay so they distorted the timing and manner in which it was captured. That is Hollywood for you. The whole purpose of the film industry is entertainment. In hindsight if they wanted America to have credit they probably should of called it U-505 and stuck more closely to that story. But they didn't.
I agree that russia might have a chance in the east after stalingrad. But the british could never free europe by themselfs. America was needed to push throu. 3 of the 5 beaches that were invaded at d day were handled by the american army. And in the pacific the allies had never won from the japanish soldiers. They were already overrunned.
@tomtiedom121 No they weren't. The Americans landed at Utah Beach and Omaha Beach, the Canadians at Juno Beach,and the British landed at Sword Beach and Gold Beach. There were also Free French at Sword beach, plus Australians New Zealanders, Poles, Norwegians and Dutch involved in D-Day.
As for the Japs, read up on the Battle of Imphal and Kohima.
@101johngalt No they weren't, the Axis had already been defeated at Alamein and Stalingrad (the 2 turning points of the war) before a single US soldier even saw a German. America did a lot, but they other allies weren't doing that badly, give them some credit.
More US soldiers died in WW2 than UK soldiers, just saying. Not saying the US involvement was more important than the UK involvement or that the US single handily won WW2, just saying that US involvement is more significant than most of you are making it out to be.
i respect the yank military and all but people gotta learn that world war 2 was primarily Britain and Russia's war against the axis powers. the media has exaggerated american involvement and fooled most Americans into thinking they were king shit. but i still have huge admiration for all the american soldiers who fought during WW2.
@cactustit25 Well said. Me too. But remember. America lost more soldiers in their Civil War than they did in WW1 & 2 combined. Hardly meaning they did more than anyone else, eh ?
@cactustit25 Well said. Me too. But remember. America lost more soldiers in their Civil War than they did in WW1 & 2 combined. Hardly meaning they did more than anyone else, eh ?
In Spite of all the information at their reach the majority of the American population is very ignorant. They watch movies like this and feel like they are the saviors of the world xD They talk about the North Korean brainwash, but they don't realize that they see movies like this one all the time, which is very similar to a brainwash. Poor rednecks...
Lol America comes in towards the end of the war and attributes the victory to themselves, films like this are bullshit. Russia lost a whole generation of people because of this war, they deserve more credit than USA
so the americans went into a disabled Uboat made it turn, destroyed an enemy uboat, fought a warship, destroyed its radio contact, dived below 200 meters to avoid depth charges and then they made blow ballast only to destroy it with a single torpedo fired from stern while moving...Riiiiight...what did they do next? Closed the ozone hole?
the HMS BULLDOG of the british royal navy caught and captured the first naval enigma machichine that led to the cracking of german codes. nice movie except the huge error i mentioned
Without America's help with supplies at the outbreak of the war Great Britain would have been virtually cut off from all resources and starved on their island. So in that regard Britain would have most certainly lost the war. But with the combination of British troops and superior American Generalship the allies came out on top. But Brits before you judge Americans in WWII so harshly search a little something called "Operation Market Garden".
@Jonwilliams80 first of all, Britain did not get supplies from America until 1941, that was after Britain had already won the battle of Britain. Second of all, superior American generalship? The man who won the most important allied victories was Montgomery, who won El Alamein and Normandy. American generals were incompetent, Eisenhower, Bradley were both useless, look at their performances in Tunisia, Normandy and the Ardennes. Patton, look at his 'advance' through Lorraine
@engliscwarrior yes but take a look a what Patton achieved through Africa, Sicily, France, Ardennes Forest, and right into Germany almost unstoppable. The relief of Bastone was done by Patton, not Montgomery. So think about that. On the other hand, this is a movie meant for the audience to experience the drama of being a submariner in WW2.
To everyone who is saying "America sucks, get real, learn proper education you American bastard," etc.:
I know that people can be stupid. Especially people that are rather biased (i.e. the people saying, "America, fuck yeah! We kicked everyone's asses all by ourselves!"). That being said, please don't judge an entire country's worth of people based on the actions of a few people on the Internet.
Now then, who else thinks that this movie was cool? Perhaps it's just nostalgia, but I enjoyed it.
my grandfather killed nazis , my dad helped kill nazis, and i am more than ready to kill some too..i dont care how these vermin may present themselves..i will fight them. and so will my sons. SIEMPRE LIBERTAD
I actually thought this was a great movie. I know it's not historically accurate, but it wasn't meant to be accurate at all. It's just a dedication, people.
@ActionMovieBuff might be just dedication but its dedicating breaking the German codes to america when they hadn't even joined the war when it really happened.
I think you are all right, tipical Amarican shit, Hollywoods way of overdoing it, not very good acting eighter, but good enough, A good storyline though. I've seen it tonight for the third time in ten years... still put's me on the edge of my chair...
Real life British sailors died capturing the enigma machine. To insult their memory by showing Americans doing it is just disgusting. Hollywood, you should be ashamed.
@Huntermorgan55 A bit inaccurate, France was overrun in WW2. A more accurate statement would be: if it wasn't for the largely British led, American, Canadian and Polish invasion of Normandy, as well as the action of the French resistance, France would have remained under Nazi occupation until the Russian army liberated it.
Another stupid ass comment. Yes the US were dragged into the war by the Japanese, one of the major military powers of the day. Underestimating the Japanese imperial might at that time was a major mistake which is what you seem to be writing. That same "fucking" empire was the one that beat the Germans in WW1, the Russians in 1905 and the Chinese AND tbe Brits until the US stepped in. Also the size of the battlefields mean nothing.
The Movie U-571 is not based on the actual circumstances of the naval career of the German Submarine named U-571. Rather, it is a fictional narrative, loosely based on events involving several different German submarines during World War II, including U-110, U-570, U-559, and U-505.
@TheFlyingPineapple In today's USA, implying anything other than just that means you hate America, or are anti-American, or means you are a communist. I mean, I like to consider my self a patriot even though I'm not delusional about the great or not so great things my country has done, but some people still confuse world events with sports and scream 'foul" even when they know they didn't even get touched by the other team. You tend to lean on nationalism when you have no culture.
I just want to hug all allied troops for fighting that war and defeating two monsters who were dangerous fools with a cause. No movie could ever capture every view on the war it is depicting. No matter how many books I read on this subject, I am always introduced to another view I had not considered before. Or am frightened to death in thinking how different our lives could have been had we not fought. God Bless them all in our history and those who fight for our future.
Enjoyable war movie with the basics-our hero(s) fighting the odds(and Nazis)and having internal battles within themselves and their crewmembers but it all comes to an end when the main mission is focused on and defeated. Hollywood or history, a little of both at times can be entertaining. Too much of either is usually ripped to pieces by critics or by the public who want their 'history' to remain in books or rated PG. 'The War' by Ken Burns- a great documentary told by those who lived it.
If you wanna see a real submarine movie. Watch Wolfgang Petersens: "Das Boot" the uncut edition wich is nearly 5 hours long. One of the best war movies ever made.
U-571 is yet another hollywood money grab. Have to give respect to the american propaganda machine wich always works overtime. What you see in Hollywood movies is exactly the opposite of real life. And Pearl Harbor? Michael Bay?... Spare me..
I just finished watching this movie and I can tell that it fucking sucks. For me it's like a typical hollywood movie featuring some great american heroes who are kicking some nazi ass. They didn't care at all about details and the history's accuracy and gave the cinema visitors just what they wanted to see... and not the truth. If you want to see a history accurated movie, then I can recommend "Das Boot". A truly emotional movie which shows the cruel and sad story of WW2.
it really does make me laugh how i see comments of hundreds of americans saying "we did this" "we did that" You have done fuck all, you are shit at warfare in every sense of the word. You manage to kill allies and kill your own men. You've lost in vietnam, iraq TWICE, losing in afghanistan and you lost in Somalia. If it wasn't for your big heads getting in the way again, we could of won the war in 1944. The british has done more "saving" than you have ever done, you fucking hypocrites.
More stupidity. I wonder why Stalin begged for US war materiel or why Churchill was begging Roosevelt to get into the war. Furthermore, not sure how taking the Phillipines, the Marshall, Gilbert, Wake, Makin, Kwajalein, Eniwetok, Mariana, Palau and countless other islands counts as "pussy". As far as the atomic bombing, it ended a stalemate war and saved the lives of prob 1m allies and 5-10m Japanese.
Lol at the stupidest commentary ever. Friendly fire against allies and your own happens in every war. Lost in Iraq twice? really because ask the Kuwaitis and Saddam about that. Afghanistan isn't over and Somalia wasn't lost because of a military defeat but because of Clinton not wanting to lose elections. I find this British jingoism against Americans fairly interesting because Churchill during the war didn't seem to have it. Nor Stalin for that matter.
@toxin9 Yet most of the countries who require foreign assistance and aid in various other matters receive it from the United States..... Please educate yourself. I am American, well aware of our fallacies, and I realize that we, just like EVERY other country, have had our fair share of mistakes; If you apply critical thought to world history, America has become a world police force, requested by most countries to make executive decisions, which means our mistakes are amplified on a larger scale.
@Asreyser lol, Naw, nigga I was just fuckin' wit you. You right, you right-- Britain definitely be doin' good by India right now-- that shit in the past-- niggas can squash it. Also, it was Africa where AIDS originated, nigga. Affricans was fuckin' monkeys or some shit, then some like, RNA fucked around and synthesized some motherfuckin' DNA and then that bitch became a retrovirus, and started spreadin' it every-damn-where. But on the real, Britain holdin' it down; that's real talk.
@PhilK5100 I ain't cheesin, cat I'm on the down-low. Bruh. Gotsta stimulate that p-state. But don't get it twisted, I don't keep it *strictly* dicklIy, I like women more.
@Asreyser No offence, mate (away from all the enjoyable bitching) but I haven't a clue what you're saying. Slang should remain verbal. NOT put into words. Have fun anyways. ;-)
@PhilK5100@PhilK5100 Undoubtedly. I studied ebonics at Stanford, here in America, and received my bachelor's in ebonics in 2002. 2003 came around and I was seriously considering going on to get my Masters degree. Unfortunately my "blackccent" and the way I spoke sounded too "white" and I haven't been accepted in to any ebonics graduate programs. I live out my dream as a fluent speaker on the Internet.
@Asreyser And not all Brits talk with a plummy accent, and the English Southern types are as blindly biased against Northern whites (with more fair haired, anglo-saxon blood than THEY have) than American whites and American blacks - believe me.
Example - British government is currently spending £1,270 per head transport in London and south - £5 per head North-East....
@heHADpieSOi812 Actually the British beat the Americans in almost every battle, it was the combined efforts of the French and Spanish (and their navies in particular) that won the revolutionary war. It was the French who Cornwallis agreed to surrender to at Yorktown, not Washington. Its also worth mentioning the British were fighting (and winning) a global war in Europe, India and the Caribbean at the same time, with out that America would have lost.
How about setting aside Jingoistic emotions for a vrief pause..... Actually several enigmas were captured both by British and Americans - of greatest note are.... the capture of one on U-110 (British), U-559 (British), U-505 (American) additional machines (pieces) captured by others throughout WWII

Wasn't that song in that regiment 93 or sumthin for da civil war movie and also I've been to the museum of science and industry prob cuz I live in Chicago but the u505 story and this are completely different
At first seeing I liked that movie, to be honest, until I knew the real facts about the so-called U-571 enigma capture by a US crew, in few words, the real truth.
Like the story of 'the last samouraï', which, everything set aside, has nothing to do with real facts, because it was a french artillery officer who was sent to modernize shogun's army, no man called Nathan Algren from the US... I found all of this a bit disturbing to see the US movie industry rearranging history to its taste
The REAL U-571 was sunk off of the coast of Ireland by Australian Sunderlands.
Jonothan Mostow made a great movie that had very little historical fact.
In the special features he says shit about how the Kriegsmarinne were all pro Nazi , if he bothered to look up a history book , he'd see how they did a propper military salute and not the Nazi Heil.
awesome movie and the american had an important role in the capturation of the enigma. the brits were not the only one who searched it but i respect both of the countries
greetings from france where the u-boat left lorient to sink boats in the atlantic...
@0FRANCE Nothing about this movie on the US side is true, even the U-571 never have been captured by the US, the real story is, quote : ...U-110's capture (by british crew), later given the code name "Operation Primrose", was one of the biggest secrets of the war, remaining secret for seven months. President Franklin D. Roosevelt was only told of the capture by Winston Churchill in January 1942,... unquote
No american intelligence, or people from the US has been involved in the enigma capture
@borncoza June 4th, 1944 Enigma machine and coding documents captured from U-505 by U.S. Navy Task Force 22.3
Everything's not true in this movie, I agree but you can't say that the US have not been involved in the Enigma capture. They helped the British supllying their boats and so many other stuffs we don't know. And about the movie, I think it really represents how this was on a submarine. Everything you can see, has been studied by real submarines-lieutenants to avoid any mistakes.
@0FRANCE sorry but when something isn't true at 100%, well then, it isn't the truth. So why saying something was made to avoid mistakes when the whole thing is based on real events but oups it's was not this flag it was another one. What i say is : american history is full of heroes, there is no need for hollywood to steal anyone else's history event to make it bigger and brighter. I love USA , but does it makes a nicer country to steal from others? Never heard of U-505 tho. Take care, mate
@0FRANCE "U 505 is a Type IXC U-boat of the Kriegsmarine, notable for its capture by the United States Navy in 1944, and presently a museum ship at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. Codebooks and other secret documents were captured from the U-505 which assisted Allied codebreaking operations." Well, as far as we are told otherwise by real facts, enigma was captured by the pols and the brits, decypher main work was done by pols and brits, US intelligence was involved afterwards.
@borncoza Haha I guess you're right. First, I want you to know that I actually don't know a lot of stuff about the sumarines units during WW2. But I have the DVD of the movie and when you're listening to the comments of Johnatan Mostow, he so wants to show that this movie was made with no historical or any kind of mistake. They had british and american submarines who helpled them on every details. So I'm just wandering why the english that helped them did'nt say anything at all.
@borncoza and it's nice to speak with you. You seem to know a lot of things. What do you mean when you say the pols ?? Is that the polish ??!! And it is normal that the US intelligence have been involved afterwards because it's only in december 1941 with Pearl Harbor that Germany declares the state of war to the US.
Are you english ? Sorry if i made mistakes but i'm french. Take care too
It's funny that you associate a Hollywood movie with "Americans trying to steal the credit". Was the movie Bridge on the River Kwai accurate? No, but you don't see too many Brit's complain about it because it makes them look good.
I don't have to. I was aware that you were trying to be sarcastic, and I played along with you. Everyone possesses human intellect. Yours just happens to disagree with mine.
You Brits need to calm down and just enjoy the movie. It never claimed to be be based on a true story. Not to mention we Americans captured the U-505 which is on display in Chicago. Can't be said for the U-110 which sank in a storm shortly after being captured.
@walnutking92 This movie never claimed to be based on a true story. Just relax and enjoy it. btw we americans captured the U-505, which is on display in Chicago. Same can't be said for the U-110 which you brits captured and ended up sinking in a storm shortly after being captured..
@Ronnie lol! Britain was doing and is still doing what we do today what do u think puerto Rico is? US colony why? Well u don't need a passport to get their... It's called imperialism dude every country does it
Ironically, the British Empire was little better than Nazi Germany. In fact, it was probably much worse because it was allowed to run rampant for several centuries, stealing other peoples countries, enslaving them, stealing their natural resourses, and basically getting away with mass murder and genocide. Not a surprise that Hitler saw Britain as a natural ally, not an enemy. Britain didn't want the competition. I'm still waiting for Britain to pay reparations to all of it's former colonies.
@ronnie12398 Does that include Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States?
You sound mad and angry that Britain had an empire. Probably way too biased to have a decent debate with. You also prefer to be way too vauge, "basically getting away with mass murder and genocide".
Fantastic the people with the money and no brains distort yet more history so they can say we did this and that this is just as bad as Mel Gibson's lies called Brave heart and the Patriot i expect two new films this year the story how a single American pilot destroyed the entire German air force & Italian air force and won the battle of Britain without backup and the unforgettable story of how a three man American squad raided Berlin without air or land support each year it gets better!!
@JamesCunnyy You have to admit that americans have a way of telling/showing things as the want them to be. I mean, I watched Pearl harbor and I felt they won that battle, when in fact, they got their asses kicked BAD. But what can you do? They have money, they make the films, and stupid uneducated people believe them.
@JamesCunnyy congratulations you just won a retardee award. This is a film, not a documentary, its meant to entertain and nothing more. If you want accurate and historical materials go read a book or find a documentary. You tool!
@JamesCunnyy Well, hopefully people get interested from this film in learning about the real history of the Enigma, and yes, actually capturing the transmitters for this code. A great number of real mathematicians came together to figure out how to crack the code. In the end, there is a disclaimer is there to allow the critic to learn about the history for themselves. I will say that the British already got it figured out fairly early on.
@JamesCunnyy I don`t recall anywhere them saying this was a true story or did I miss that part?
As far as I`m concerned it was a good movie with a bunch of semi-unknowns, the biggest "star" in the move was Bon Jovi and he`s no actor, McConaughey is usually in douche bag girly movies so anyway it was a good movie even if it`s wan`t true and you though Brave-heart was a true story? Now that is funny =]
The word Embellishment is Hollywood's middle name my friend, It = Money
@pencoyque I fail to see how United States of America isn't an appropriate name for a country. It doesn't have a fancy name, it simply states what it is which is a unified country of many states. At least it's not an archaic name like the United Kingdom is.
@SeryiVolk2009 I called it archaic because a monarchy is an outdated form of government. The heyday of the monarchies ended around 200 years ago and the few royal families that are left don't really have much power anymore.
@pencoyque Because you're retarded for thinking that would make a good movie that's why. Take historical fiction for what it is, fiction. If you get that through your thick skull then maybe you wouldn't bitch so much. Pathetic brit.
its just a moive lol dont see why people get up set cause of a film its like people and there video games or when there is a football game they yell at the tv and what for they cant hear you ive seen your moives there good and im sure some of ours to you are good and some are not but o well i noticed alot of people hate us when its not us its the goverment that makes us look bad

More US soldiers died in WW2 than UK soldiers, just saying. Not saying the US involvement was more important than the UK involvement or that the US single handily won WW2, just saying that US involvement is more significant than most of you are making it out to be.

i respect the yank military and all but people gotta learn that world war 2 was primarily Britain and Russia's war against the axis powers. the media has exaggerated american involvement and fooled most Americans into thinking they were king shit. but i still have huge admiration for all the american soldiers who fought during WW2.

In Spite of all the information at their reach the majority of the American population is very ignorant.

Without America's help with supplies at the outbreak of the war Great Britain would have been virtually cut off from all resources and starved on their island. So in that regard Britain would have most certainly lost the war. But with the combination of British troops and superior American Generalship the allies came out on top. But Brits before you judge Americans in WWII so harshly search a little something called "Operation Market Garden".
Jonwilliams80 3 months ago
@Jonwilliams80 first of all, Britain did not get supplies from America until 1941, that was after Britain had already won the battle of Britain. Second of all, superior American generalship? The man who won the most important allied victories was Montgomery, who won El Alamein and Normandy. American generals were incompetent, Eisenhower, Bradley were both useless, look at their performances in Tunisia, Normandy and the Ardennes. Patton, look at his 'advance' through Lorraine
engliscwarrior 1 month ago
@engliscwarrior yes but take a look a what Patton achieved through Africa, Sicily, France, Ardennes Forest, and right into Germany almost unstoppable. The relief of Bastone was done by Patton, not Montgomery. So think about that. On the other hand, this is a movie meant for the audience to experience the drama of being a submariner in WW2.

Underestimating the Japanese imperial might at that time was a major mistake which is what you seem to be writing. That same "fucking" empire was the one that beat the Germans in WW1, the Russians in 1905 and the Chinese AND tbe Brits until the US stepped in. Also the size of the battlefields mean nothing.

The Movie U-571 is not based on the actual circumstances of the naval career of the German Submarine named U-571. Rather, it is a fictional narrative, loosely based on events involving several different German submarines during World War II, including U-110, U-570, U-559, and U-505.

No matter how many books I read on this subject, I am always introduced to another view I had not considered before. Or am frightened to death in thinking how different our lives could have been had we not fought. God Bless them all in our history and those who fight for our future.

Enjoyable war movie with the basics-our hero(s) fighting the odds(and Nazis)and having internal battles within themselves and their crewmembers but it all comes to an end when the main mission is focused on and defeated. Hollywood or history, a little of both at times can be entertaining. Too much of either is usually ripped to pieces by critics or by the public who want their 'history' to remain in books or rated PG. 'The War' by Ken Burns- a great documentary told by those who lived it.

Codebooks and other secret documents were captured from the U-505 which assisted Allied codebreaking operations."

Ironically, the British Empire was little better than Nazi Germany. In fact, it was probably much worse because it was allowed to run rampant for several centuries, stealing other peoples countries, enslaving them, stealing their natural resourses, and basically getting away with mass murder and genocide. Not a surprise that Hitler saw Britain as a natural ally, not an enemy. Britain didn't want the competition. I'm still waiting for Britain to pay reparations to all of it's former colonies.

@pencoyque I fail to see how United States of America isn't an appropriate name for a country. It doesn't have a fancy name, it simply states what it is which is a unified country of many states. At least it's not an archaic name like the United Kingdom is.

@LetzRock1 - What's archaic about it?
The United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy,meaning there is either a queen or a - yep,you guessed it,a KING as figurehead.
So it is entirely contemporary,personal views on monarchy notwithstanding.

@SeryiVolk2009 I called it archaic because a monarchy is an outdated form of government. The heyday of the monarchies ended around 200 years ago and the few royal families that are left don't really have much power anymore.

@LetzRock1 - That's more or less fair comment - it was just the way you phrased it.

@pencoyque Because you're retarded for thinking that would make a good movie that's why. Take historical fiction for what it is, fiction. If you get that through your thick skull then maybe you wouldn't bitch so much. Pathetic brit.
