The stork allegory or whatever you call it really got to me in that one

After watching come and see, I felt like I had seen something completely insidious. Like I was truly transported into a world of hatred, disaster, and death. It is a brilliant film which I cannot forget. Also the way it affects you almost feels traumatizing. Like you seen something you shouldn’t have, but it’s something I reccomend anybody to watch.

I can’t believe we didn’t watch this in my soviet film class I took in college. Instead we watched the cranes are flying and the mirror among others I can’t remember

The little clips he showed are more intense than most war footage I've seen. And I've seen alot.

I watched come and see while I was having a slow weekend on-call. My wife had some friends over after she got out of work probably three or four hours after the movie ended, and our friends legitimately thought I was having a breakdown. I was about as close to catatonic as one can get. That movie should be consumed as one would a powerful psychedelic substance. With a ton of forethought, and in a good place mentally. It should also be required watching for every 20th century history class. I feel it could genuinely de-radicalize some young men being led down the roads of open race or religious based hatred.

A similar thing happened at Uni when we watched Waltz With Bashir. I decided to watch come and See this afternoon. I'm would love to study the film closer. it certainly echoing in my head right now.

@@DinoPimp "A similar thing happened at Uni when we watched Waltz With Bashir." Not in a university setting, but I had to watch the movie online during quarantine. I just kinda sat with my thoughts for probably an hour after I finished it.

I watched it with a couple friends over a discord voice call and there was a solid couple minutes of silence after the movie ended and was paused before anyone said anything.

typical "othering" with words " barbarism for the eastern front". movie is typical of all wars . just ask afghans about despicable unmitigated seeped to the core barbarism of craven military usa regime, the evil in current world. only difference is hollywood wont make such movies, so people like you can distance yourself, and yours, from such things, push them to other people

@@GorinRedspear no you got it all wrong it was definatrly a depiction of the English civil war

100% Agreed.

@@jonathanallard2128 Cheers to that.

Quite possibly the best film I’ve ever seen

A German film about an Austrian born Dictator, played by a Swiss Actor. RIP Bruno Ganz.

A fantastic movie, yes, but as history it suffers from being drawn from the diaries of those around Hitler who survived. For obvious reasons, they were keen to blame absolutely everything on those who did not survive - Hitler mainly, but people like Goebbels too. There was a lot of "I knew noothink!" in that film.

The basically child aged officers, you don't see that in many other movies. But the musical piece, Vaughan Williams: Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis..It sends a shiver down my spine just listening to it now.

My parents saw Barry Lyndon on the big screen. My mom was a Ryan O’Neal fan from Peyton Place 😊

Alias Fakename I agree. I just stumbled on this channel a few weeks ago.

Stymie Gray Cypher's shoutout kickstarted it, and I will be eternally grateful to him for that, but when he first reached out to me asking permission to use clips from my videos I thought it might get me 1k more subscribers total. This is way beyond what I expected. I think it's a vicious cycle. Cypher's Lost Cause video did exceptionally well, which drove more of an audience to me, which drove up engagement, which improved my standing in the eyes of Our Lord Algorithm, which sent more eyeballs my way, which drove up engagement again, etc etc. Hey, I'm not complaining.

Hmmmmm....SF fans, it's possible that Mr. Perlman might be a passable Clarence Aloysius Gaffney (aficionados of L. Sprague De Camp will know whom I mean).

About 20 years ago I was on the panel of a discussion of the career of Robert A Heinlein. George R R Martin was sitting on my right. When the panel was over I turned to him and said, "What was it like working with Ron Perlman?" He said, "Thank god, I thought you were going to say Linda Hamilton." He told me Ron showed up early every day of shooting for Beauty and the Beast for that make up and they never had to re-shoot a scene because he flubbed a line. And take after take he was exactly in the same place with the same gesture so it was easy to blend his scenes. He is the consummate professional.

Quest for Fire is one of my most watched movies. I can understand why some people don't like it though.

The actor that played the Uboot captain is plays also a role in Beverly Hills Cop 1.

and Troy and Air Force One lololol, which seems so completely detached and different from Das Boot, but I still love Air Force One,

that tends to play tricks to nick to be faire, as he will be harsh on movie on things he know about (breaveheart, the patriot, apocalypto...) and quite concilliant on other like the last samourai despit the movie being nearly as accurate as brave heart^^

@Dave A. The producers changed the setting from the Anglo-American War of 1812 to the Napoleonic wars between the UK and France so the film wouldn't offend American audiences...

@Dave A. That's actually exactly true. In the Aubrey-Maturin book series, the ship they peruse is American as it takes place during the War of 1812. However, Wier felt that the movie, which cost over $150 million to film, would do poorly with American audiences if they were seen as the bad guys.

@Dave A. Unless you are an expert on historical ships most people wouldn't notice. Also armament inaccuracies are a bit pointless to point out. No one will point out that in WW2 films almost every German will have a Mp-40 when officers were really the only ones with them.

I was just explaining how good DasBoot is to my 25 year old. ⭐️

As a motorcyclist , I confirm if you don't ride you don't understand. I can't explain it to you.

We really need a full blown series of the Napoleonic Wars. A TV show historical drama following Wellington, Napoleon's family, and Czar Alexander... You don't even need to event stories, that whole 15 year period between 1800-1815 is dripping with conflict, romance, politics and intrigue.

@@gregp103 Rum, sodomy and the lash. 2 out of 3 aint bad

The problem being, though, that the story originally is set during the war of 1812 with the enemy ship being American.... but you can't have that in a Hollywood production.

Boy will you be surprised to discover it's based on novels full of this sort of stuff and that it's therefore not necessarily the movie creators credit.

@@thenoblepoptart It's not set in the 9th century, it's assuming we don't have the whole story of American civilization, and it is assuming an unknown city-state doing the same thing the Aztecs were doing, except with Inca elements thrown in.

I'm not saying I want a direct sequel but every time I watch MAC it leaves me wanting more

@@2adamast in this case that's debatable, because the source material had a lot of books the sequels could have drawn from. The first movie was an amalgammation of two novels, "Master and Commander", and "The Far Side of the World".

Actually choked on my drink when he said that! Lmao.

That is not shade, that is a black hole lmao

But they didn't put any makeup on Ron Perlman for that movie.

At one point, he was talking of running for president! (kinda wish he would!)

If any Ridley Scott film deserves a mention in this list, it should be the Duellists. A more historically immersive film has never been made, it feels like you’re in the Napoleonic Era.

Surprisingly the scenes in the Coliseum are pretty accurate. I watched a Nova special about the structure & at that time they weren’t sure if there were awnings. They were measuring tree lengths. The elevators under the floor & flooding it for sea battles. Were all proven true. Cool

Oh, those stupid Germans!

The fact that Das Boot is over 4 hours long really lets it sink in how long you're stuck in one of those.

@@TheLouisianan The fact that there's a miniseries version that's even longer makes that even more clear. It also drives home the contrast between weeks on end of boredom and the actual "action" much more effectively. But of course, that doesn't work that much in a movie.

I dont know how a family friend worked on a nuclear sub for most of a decade. I cant imagine going weeks without sun light... You know, without the benefit of an Xbox that is

Lovely movie. Like all the actors, especially the kid & Paul Bettany.

Fun fact, in the book their foe they are sent after is American frigate USS Norfolk during the War of 1812 and not the French heavy frigate Acheron, like in the movie. But Hollywood thought US audiences wouldn't have the maturity to go out and pay to see themselves cast as the bad guys.. Tom Rothman, co-chairman of 20th Century Fox tried to deny that being the reason afterward in a book about the making of the movie.. yeah sure Tom, sure..lol

Second that, brilliant photography also

Editing and pacing could have been better though ino

Agreed! Very "immersive"!

Yes, I was thinking exactly the same thing, the Duellists

That is a very fine, immersive film to be sure!

I live in Redwood country. When visiting the South and East, as soon as I saw those brambly choked forests and saw the small plaques scattered throughout neighborhoods for how many slaves had been killed for getting uppity, I knew I was not the equal to people of that time.

That film was way too rushed imho!

absolutely luved that one

Seven Years in Tibet is much better all round. Apocalypto and Rabbit Proof Fence are much better films too.

Some researchers suggest the tale is actually a work of fiction.

Horrible as the Soviet Gulag was, “The Way Back” is not based on a true story. Decades ago the book on which the movie is based was proven to be a complete fraud. There is hard documentary evidence that the supposed Gulag escape simply never happened. Please check the relevant article in Wikipedia.

Kinda. Lacks the science fiction but certainly has the spirit. Sad to think the thing is still the most "lovecraftian" movie ever made. Hollywood can't make it profitablr, and if they do, well, we have the new shitty series for that...

My main takeaway from revenant was thanking god I live in modern times.

My grandfather told me that joke more than a half century ago. But much of the series is lifted from other sources. I had to stop reading it because every few pages I would stumble on a turn of phrase or a nautical fact I'd seen elsewhere. Quite a lot comes from the Hornblower series, shorter and simpler books with a more complex, nuanced view of behavior and social setting. There are even Robbe-Grillet moments when Forester will offer a 20th C perspective on his characters' central predicament, hovering on the verge of the 19th C with only 18th C rules to guide them.

I'm grateful for all the modern technology, and yet I really wish to live at least one day in the splendor of ancient Rome

02051945 be sure to get all your vaccinations before departing to Ancient Rome

You only feel that way because you compare it to your more modern, comfortable current lifestyle, which even affects your recollection of those times. If that's all you knew, for the most part, you would be ok with it. People living in old or even ancient times didn't know anything but their own way of life so to them that was normal. In fact they probably felt bad for the poor fools from ages previous to them who had it even worse.

Barry Lyndon will ruin every other european historical movie for you. I watched Amadeus after seeing it and although I like that flick I was bothered by the sheer lack of make up on men's faces lol

Strongest feeling of actually being in the time period depicted I’ve ever experienced in a film.

It’s just a pity that Americans seem to insist on pronouncing it “boot”, rather than “boht”... similar to how it is in U-boat.

ex submariner das boot is excellent

I'd also rate "A bridge too far" as a good accurate representation of WW2. There are a few inaccuracies in it but not many

It really is a truly Eastern European experience of "...and then things got worse." It's easily in my top 5 favorite films of all time, and the most disturbing film I think I've ever seen. The artistic direction of the film and even the few surrealistic scenes only seem to augment the visceral nature of the film and bring you more into the childish state of the kid's mind at the time, and the grounding of actual truth in the storytelling. It's all stuff that really happened. True madness. A true masterpiece of film. I watched that film in a mental place thinking "yeah it might be cool to fight in a war at some point" And having seen it my line of thinking is now "No. Hell no. If war comes to me I'll fight, but I'm not going out of my God-blessed way to pick up a rifle and run off to join any partisans, no matter how noble their cause."

Just think about those mobile killing squads, and the other war crimes that the germans didn't bother to write down. Just think about the ones those drunk Wehrmacht soldiers probably done, the women hurt by them. I mean, the dirlewanger brigade shot up german hospitals during the Warsaw Uprising for fun.

Also check out the Polish movie Hatred and one titled The Painted Bird

The very opening with the boiling clouds grabbed me by the throat. Clouds.

I can recommend film "Agony" from the same director about last days of the Romanov family and Rasputin. Quite a hard film, but very good restoration of the spirit of the rotten monarchy

I remember watching that movie with my then girlfriend, what a mistake. At first she was bored, then she was crying finally she left the room. She was mad at the fact that I watched the whole thing without her, and could not understand how I could watch any more of it. She thought there was something wrong with me for even wanting to finish that movie, maybe there was. I made the point that a good movie makes you feel a number of ways, sometimes not all of them are good. We had a long conversation about it until she understood why I had to finish watching that movie. She finally made me tell her the ending, and started crying all over again. That is one film that I will never rewatch, it's too painful to sit through.
