What the fuck is a avengers vs coronavirus
It would be nice to see The.Battle off Samar done like this. The sailors of Taffy 3 deserve it.
What I like about this final battle scene is the crew's response. No more looks or hesitations to the Captain's orders, they respond immediately with 100% confidence in his decisions.
так и должно быть в войсках.приказ командира закон и не обсуждается
It's a movie, it's not real!
@@harryvarner6652 12 years in Army Aviation. I have NEVER nor have I ever seen a soldier question a commander's decision under fire on deployments . Train as you fight so when you do fight you've already been there a hundred times in your mind. The movie got it right.....
@@harryvarner6652 that comment rather fits those action movies where they stare at the commanders face for 10 seconds after he gives them an order
@@harryvarner6652
You see that's the thing yes technically the USS Greyhound didn't exist but this movie is based on the battle of the Atlantic ships like this went up against Nazi U boats battles like this happened and when you're under direct fire with torpedoes in the water you do not question the captain you do as he says, how he says or face the consequences because that is his ship he is the boss
As a former Surface Warfare Officer (qualified SWO), I was impressed with how accurate the commands of the captain were, along with the replies from the ship's crew. The movie writers clearly did their research.
I've literally never heard "meet her" in a movie, despite the fact that it's used all the time during real-life high-speed maneuvers. It's similar to issuing the order "stead as she goes" but giving the helmsman the latitude to use hard opposite rudder to get on the ordered course as quickly as possible, including putting the rudder on the stops if necessary. It's actually a pretty dangerous order to give, as you essentially yield control of the rudder entirely to the judgment of the helmsman, which means you need one who knows what they are doing.
As I understand it, they really wanted to give as much accuracy as possible. This is because the book "The Good Shepard" by CS Forester, which the film is adapted from, was a retelling of how it was to be part of the Battle of Atlantic. There was no sugar-coating or added drama there, just a very factual piece of nautical fiction. This included all the little details like how commands are issued and why you need to trust your crew to know what they're doing.
As a civilian, it really helped me understand a lot of things about a ship is run as much as it gave me historical information. It's a very accurate of what could be a first-hand account of what a first-time wartime mission is like, even for a seasoned captain. I'm glad to know the movie is doing a remarkable job at doing the same.
@@girl1213 be nice if the sun shined a little...has a gloomy quality about it....most top of the line destroyers like this one wound up in the Pacific...my father-in-law's did...not a scratch until they reached Okinawa...end of the line...still their today where divers have been checking it out
This is old school command. The captain had extremely high-level ship-handling skills.
@@frankpienkosky5688 Hope your father in law came home...okay.
yeah so realisitc, this trash movie :D
That gorgeous Catalina at the end, showing up like a guardian angel. A lady of the sky and sea.
Like in Saving Private Ryan. Angels on our shoulders.
The Cats won the convoy battle. Although that's not to lessen the sacrifice of the sailors.
Long range Catalina's closed the air gap, and they rained hell down on Nazi submarines
Geese buddy keep it in your pantd
@@davidhardiman9603 Absolutely.
This IS a well orchestrated scene. I wish that more movies follows this scheme. Well trained team work, non mindless decisions, focused strategy.
Tom Hanks always adds a lot when scenes like this happens. This deserves recognition.
My friend the scene is completely unrealistic and never actually happened.
@@stueyguerreiro It's pretty accurate. The only rather unrealistic part is a U boat being stupid enough to fight a destroyer, even one without depth charges.
@@stueyguerreiro I can never see a Uboat captain surfacing against a destroyer.
@@stueyguerreiro were you in the navy or something?
@@GaryArmstrongmacgh They didn't want to, they were hit and had to surface.
I wish my grandfather was still alive (he passed in 2005) so he could have seen this movie. He was a Fire Controlman on the USS Flaherty - a destroyer escort in the North Atlantic in WWII and part of a Hunter/Killer Task Group that went after U-Boats. His ship was there when U-505 was forced to the surface and captured off of Africa in June of 1944 and his destroyer was responsible for sinking U-546 almost a year later (revenge after U-546 sunk USS Frederick C. Davis, killing 115 of her crew). I still have his U.S. Navy issued gaiters with his last name and "1943" (the year he entered the service) stamped on them. He would have loved this movie, though knowing him, he probably would have pointed out any and all inaccuracies. I'm 38 now, but I can still remember him and I watching Das Boot together as a kid on a number of occasions - that was his favorite movie. I think he would have really liked this one!
My great granddad was a Russian naval officer. Served as a gun post commander at the lend-leased USS Thomas. They mainly escorted those lend-lease convoys in the Northern Atlantic. Lads downed 2 U-boats marking no casualties on their watch.
Great story thanks for sharing!
They don’t make movies like Das Boot anymore.
@@rhysbumemendoza354 No, they definitely do not.
First of all, here's to granddads like yours who pick out the glaring errors in Hollywood movies. ;) My dad was in the US Navy in the early 1950s during the Cold War on an ASW carrier in the Atlantic, doing his part and getting valuable education, life experience and the GI Bill, which enabled him to get his bachelor's of electrical engineering degree and a year of grad school. While visiting family on Chicago's north side in the early 1970s, he took mom, my sister and me to Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry, where we saw the movie about how U-505 was captured and walked through the sub.
.
"All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men (and women) to do nothing." Too many people take freedom from tyranny for granted, not appreciating and valuing the efforts and sacrifices of many, many people throughout history to protect others from murder and exploitation. Salute to your grandfather.
My dad, like Michael Lawson's dad (in another post here), served on a destroyer in WW2. His ship, the Gwin, saw a lot of action. On 13 July 1943, they were in the "slot" in the Solomon's. About 1:30AM the Gwin was hit in the forward engine room by a "Long Lance" torpedo, killing all in that location in a huge fireball. Dad's cruising station was the forward engine room but when the shooting started, his battle station was the Number 2 Gun so his life was spared. This movie made me a lot more aware of what he went through but I can't totally understand because I never went through it. My dad has always been a hero to me.
My Father was also on 2 different Destroyers the uss Tillman DD 641 in the north Atlantic on cony and the uss Philip in the south Pacific I heard many stories from that war ever since i can remember after the landing on Casablanca he was transfered to the south Pacific on the Uss phillip ,they were truly the Greatest generation ,you can find info on thoes ships and the one your Dad was on on the internet Department of the Navy-NavalHistorical center Navel Historical center home page ,He has past away now 10 years ago. Hope this was informative God Bless
Hi Dave, thanks for your story. My Dad was 19yrs when on a British Corvette (not designed for an Atlantic crossing) made the trip across the pond 5 times in 1943-44. He never said a word about it to me, except to say it was cold. So this movie has also made me a lot more aware of what he went through.
@@phillipatkinson4932 i heard that a rough day or days in the north Atlantic was worst than a typhoon in the south Pacific
@@fredguitarman3536 there is no cold worse than a completely wet cold.. it chills to the bone
@@fredguitarman3536 absolutely true. The North Atlantic is normally rough seas. Especially between sept through april. It's winter, very cold, windy, rough heavy seas, waves are easily 35 feet from top to bottom. In heavy seas, the waves get as high as 50 feet. No kidding. The ship is forever listing left/right, and there is also rocking front to back. When walking down passage ways you're banging into the bulkheads (walls). no hot meals, and going to the bathroom is a major challenge. Have I mentioned sea sickness. It takes effort when opening a hatch (door) as air rushes in. So you must be careful to watch your hands so they are not on the edge of the hatch - the sucking in pressure of air from outside -> in, can cause hatches to slam and you could lose fingers. Also everything is metal. So very cold and slippery on the outside and metal won't give when you slam into it. This all of the normal stuff. When you're outside the skin of the ship on the main deck, you must hold onto to the steel cable rails or metal railings, or you could get swept overboard. And the metal railings were always wet and slippery. In winter - covered with ice as is the deck. Have I mentioned the cold and the wind? It goes right through you - soaked and cold. I'm not even going to discuss going north of Iceland. I have sailed up the coast of Greenland and sailed around the northern tip of Norway. Well north of the Arctic Circle. -40 degrees every day. In September, the sun was on the horizon all day. Quite an experience. Also saw the Aurora Borealis. Frigate, destroyer, and cruiser crews are a tough hardened bunch. US Navy 1983-90.
Great movie and I saw the whole movie. My Uncle was on a destroyer off of Korea during the Korean War and he was in naval flight training at the end of WW2. He stayed in the Navy for 30 years. Not many like him in this day and age. Always has been and always will be my hero.
My late Father was a member of the R.A.F. Coastal Command, although as ground crew he seldom flew, he always admired the efforts and sacrifice of those who gave so much. He told me very little of what went on until his last few years, then not much. I visit his old airbase on the coast when I can, especially its church.
Bless our allies...to this day!
clearly tom hanks has maxed out his account in WoWs
Maximum torpedo beats
uaou
Indeed he has
Meh, he's in a Destroyer. That's easy mode. Let's see how he can dodge torpedoes in a Battleship
Lol
My grandfather was in the Navy, in the Pacific theatre. His ship took part in 11 invasions, including Guadalcanal & Okinawa. In a huge Irish Catholic family (he had 9 children) I’m the only one he EVER spoke a single syllable to about the war. In the last few months of his life. He was such an old softie late in life; couldn’t have loved his grand & great grandkids more. But that was the only time I ever saw a tear in his eye not at a funeral. Telling me about the heros he served with. That fought and died side by side, for you & I. And I tell you this: that man loved those boys on his boat in a way I know i could never never truly understand what that is. He and his friends would instantly lay down their very lives for one another or for the success of the mission in a split second, without a tiny flicker of thought or calculation. And did. Every single day of that war from Dec.7 ‘41 to Aug ‘45. And I may never know brotherhood like that in my life. But I do absolutely know this: those boys, goin halfway across the world to defeat fascism and save the world....they were mostly just kids, 18,19, 20 (my grampy was 21). And these young boys-quickly-turned-men were more noble, principled, and honorable, and had more courage and unflinching bravery, sense of duty & sacrifice to the greater good, and faithfulness to one another than I believe almost anyone else alive today can even imagine.
They truly WERE the Greatest Generation ever.
We owe them everything. Especially the heros who paid the ultimate price for OUR freedom, and for so many of us, our very lives-as my grandpa taught me, many of our relatives only made it home because of their unimaginable courage. And that is the actual real TRUTH, not a nice sounding cliche. These young men who showed the world what it truly meant to be absolutely unshakable in the face of unspeakable terrors, to fight for REAL righteous ideals of truth, honor, and the freedom of their friends, family, country, and the world. No better men ever lived. May those not here be in a place now they deserve. Those men and women of true character, virtue and integrity, cut from the greatest cloth people have ever been born of, who saved the world through their grit, determination, and absolute, ironclad unwillingness to do anything but what was right.
If you have a chance to still talk with a WWII vet-you better take that treasure while you barely still can. Whatever it is. And savor it forever. Tell them you know how in debt you are to them.
My god bless them all.
It’s shame that a generation of wonderful people is almost gone and we’re left the crazy young twats who don’t know even know common sense. And I’m 19 so I’m also not to old but always felt as if I born in the wrong time. Our values are not the same. Shame.
Your grandfather sounded like a cool guy. 🚣♀️
I’m actually planning on joining the Royal Navy reserves as an officer. I know the navy is nothing what it use too but I would definitely like to be back at sea.
Justin Mix Bro, my father was naval medical cadet who first defended Leningrad from the Nazis in July-September 1941, and then completed 2 naval practices in Northern Fleet on hospital ship Voronezh , which delivered wounded sailors and soldiers to Arkhangelsk .. Thanks to American sailors and President Roosevelt for helping Red Army in fight against Nazism.
I grew up surrounded by men who fought and won the greatest war in history. I am white, Christian, male, and if someone dont like it they can kiss my ass
Salutes men! I see you are talking about heroes in here, I had also one in my family. I am from Greece, and as you know we always had the most brave warriors, like my Great grandfather, he fought in the Campaign against the Turks in Smyrna in 1919, and then also fought against the Italian fascists in the Albanian front in 1941! Respect to all these men!
@@SelfImprovement1111 I’ve often felt the same way, totally know what you mean. Even so, I still really hope you still have some awesome adventures and forge some deep bonds of brotherhood in the Royal Navy, my friend. My great uncle (grandpa’s brother) was in the European theater of the war, and never saw action, but always had the utmost respect and greatest things to say about the English people and their soldiers/sailors. That they were thee bravest, most gritty, steely resolved people you could imagine. I think his time in the U.K. was the best of his life. Great luck to you, brother. Be safe out there mate
I wish my Dad was still alive, he’s Retired Navy, he would have loved this movie!
My dad was on a Destroyer in the Atlantic for two years and on a PT Boat in the Pacific for two year's. He also was in the Occupation of Japan. He passed in 98.
Vietnam, class of 70. Your dad is on perpetual patrol, bless his soul, and many thanks for his sevice. Have a great day Kurt.
Thank you for your Service. I want to tell you I remember watching the News with my dad when the Vietnam War was going on. He said a couple of times that you guys and the Korean Men weren't being treated right. He said they had everything they needed and he didn't care who they had to steal it from. He said all they had to do is win. And the Government was stopping the Soldiers from winning and it pissed him off very much. He was for sure on y'alls side. God bless you and again thank you so much for your Service and recognizing my dad. He was the best!
May he rest in peace.
@@kurtsherrick2066, you are totally correct! We were NEVER meant to win Kennedy's war! It seemed that everything was stacked against our men and women all in the name of keeping that senseless conflict going so that Wall Street and the politicians they owned could just get richer and richer. Then Johnson somehow managed to get Kennedy eliminated and really screwed things up by stopping the B-52 bombing missions. Even an NVA General after it was all over made the statement that we had them until the bombing stopped and then they knew it was over for us. So many of my friends and high school classmates never came back except in a cheap, government furnished box! All of those lives wasted for no logical reason. Yes, as a Vietnam era vet (I volunteered twice but my MOS prevented my going) I've heard all of the trivial and tripe comments trying to give some reasons for it but frankly, NONE of them hold much value to me.
God rest his Soul & Thank you for his service, God Bless the Greatest Generation 🙏
Thank you for making that movies.
My father served in one of those greyhound in 1942 but was sunk of the fjord off Arcángel,he survived but never spoke about.
Now I understand the hell those fellow went thrue.
Öhm this ist a Movie
Your review at the end is on point. And with 16 yrs of Active naval service, I'd say 98% accurate from a Navy standpoint; all the jargon, commands, and nautical verbiage were spot on, save a couple things. Kudos to whoever the military advisors were when making this film!
But Tom Hanks is in it, and he visited Epstein's island many times.
Navy veterans from any country should appreciate this movie. The commands and responses by the crew in the combat scenes are very accurate. Salute.
US Navy vet, this trailer portrayed the dedicated efforts of a crew well trained!
Richard Bello Thank you for your servive
Thank you for serving Richard Bello. My son is currently deployed on a guided missile destroyer. I couldn't be more proud..
@@clarkheart my dad likewise , an army veteran of ww2 beamed with pride at my joining the US Navy.
Not like those silly British crews yeah?
I respect your service but didn’t the unterseeboot commanders act unrealistically stupid I would like your opinion
Grandfather did damage control on a destroyer at Guadalcanal. Not that he was a part of a damage control party, he was just a machinist before the war. Hell of a smart 8th grade dropout! And he was exempt from the draft but volunteered anyway.
RIP Grandpa Tony, April 1914 - September 2006
omg the catalina is such a beautiful plane
Yes, very cool! My dad did 13 months in WWII in the South Pacific in a PBY5A.
Several years ago we had one, privately owned, kept on the ramp next to the USCG Station San Diego.
I was sad to see it leave. I don't know where it went.
@@wintonhudelson2252 Your dad? How old are you?
@@peterzebot9863 Old. Born in the first half of the 20th Century
yeah !!!
My father's best friend, Ray Collins, was a plank owner on the USS Mayrant. Escort duty in the North Atlantic, all the landings from North Africa to Normandy, and damn near sunk by a direct hit by a Stuka. He and his ship also performed escort duty in the Pacific, and picket duty off Okinawa, fighting off Kamikazes. He told that is where he learned what real fear was. I wish he were alive to see this movie. From what he told me before he passed, it is a great depiction of what he and all those who served on Destroyer's and Destroyer Escort's went through.
The book it was based upon is quite different. It is narrated in the third person who knows and relates all of the captain's thoughts. It's a powerful lesson in crises management. He's new to the ship and to his crew and he must evaluate and train them while surrounded by all sorts of tactical and logistics problems. And do it with no sleep. If the US Navy actually builds leaders like this at Annapolis, I'm in awe.
As an Annapolis grad I can confirm it was not a fun time.
@Columbo Bumbo A masterpiece of tactical action. Beautifully put. I think it's so intense when the crew responds so quickly and precisely.
Now they affirm their gender identity first
RIP Captain Ernest E. Evans , USS Johnston (DDS 557) and Captain Robert W. Copeland, USS Samuel B. Roberts (DE 413) were such men. Stories of bravery so significant as to be almost unbelievable.
@@NVRAMboi I just finished reading the book, The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors, about the battle off Samar.
Anything and everything Hanks does is worthy of all the acclaim there is.
except for his political ideas...
Or his child- rearing tips.
Wow! I served aboard a destroyer during Vietnam, but never faced this kind of threat. My dad served on a destroyer in World War 2, and his ship was severely damaged by a direct kamikaze hit at Okinawa. A bunch of his shipmates died. My dad had third degree burns on half his body. He was a Gunner's Mate manning a 40 mm antiaircraft mount, and was shooting at the Japanese plane as it came in low. He could see the pilot's face, and said he was smiling as he crashed into the ship. He never forgot that creepy smile on the suicide pilot's face for the rest of his life. He said it would frequently haunt his dreams at night.
Some the most hazardous combat duty in the closing months of WWII was being a member of the crew of a US Navy destroyer on the picket line between Okinawa and the Japanese planes coming down from the home islands to get at the fleet which was held stationary in a relatively small patch of ocean by the need to support the Marines and the Army for months. During the war, the effectiveness of the Kamikaze was deliberately downplayed to protect the sailors and because, although they didn't sink any large capital ships they did a great deal of damage to many vessels, including to several fleet carriers. I think a great film could be made about the destroyers on the picket line.
It’s such a pity that your father couldn’t have shot that creepy smile off that kamikaze’s face.
@@RLJmusic4life That smiling pilot may already have been dead. One of the problems of dealing with kamikazes was that even the lightly constructed Japanese aircraft were surprisingly resistant to hits from 20mm and 40mm. Again and again planes which were literally shredded by AA guns and obviously on the verge of disintegrating kept coming on carried by momentum and guided by pilots who were not concerned about making it back home. If they didn't burn, they had to literally be blown apart in order to stop them. It's hard for those of us who weren't there to fathom the psychological effect the kamikazes had on tired and stressed crews who spent hours at general quarters for days on end.
Salute to your father and you!
Liar liar pants on fire
The nighttime is the worse for seeing torpedo attacks and finding submarines. Excellent movie!

Well.....yes! But there are few now that have even spoken to a convoy passenger.
Indeed. It is always interesting to see them… “explain”
This movie, along with master and commander, has the most realistic naval battle scenes ever put to screen. It’s a shame and baffling this wasn’t released in theaters.
In the book, C. S Forester's The Good Shepherd, the captain is very religious and reflects on his faith often.
My uncle Jim was a gun layer on a light cruiser on the Murmansk run and this movie makes think of the couple of near misses he experienced while serving in the RCN.
I’m always amazed just how much firepower they stuffed into the fletcher class, an absolutely amazingly designed ship
I wish it was in theaters then people would have appreciate it even more and reach a wider audience. Damn that year 2020 but I appreciate Tom Hanks and his crew for this movie.
Those actors really act like real Navy men.
Oh man this is the coolest action scene ever
It is. Its so conplex and brilliant when describing warfare.

9/10. Great movie. Not much for character development, but it tells its story from a realistic place. You feel like part of Hanks crew, they’re pretty accurate with actual ship speak and tactics and you do see the accumulation effect on a captain his position. One of my favorite WWII movies.
The best U-boat film is "das Boot"
Yes
It is indeed.
ALARM!
@@Mo0ndr1ver 1:50 Physic 🧐🧐🧐🤔🤔🤔
No argument from me!
The movie was awesome. I purchased an Apple TV just so I could watch this movie. If you like the suspense and drama of naval battles this movie is for you. It is nonstop action from beginning to end. I have always loved the navy more than any other of the armed services. So I was immediately riveted to my seat for the entire length of the film! GO NAVY!!!!!
Movie name please
I saw the movie 3 times already. It was a great movie, full of action. It's hard not to like a Tom Hanks movie. He's an awesome actor.
I can understand how some servicemen say they missed the war because of the relationships forged in situations like these. Being part of a whole ship crew that acts as a unit… it must be an intense wonderful feeling of kinship. It gives me goosebumps as the ship relays the orders of the skipper in unison without hesitation. Remarkable
This still gives me the chills! A great performance by Tom Hanks!
Yeah he is a great actor, he's managed to hide from the world that he likes to have sex with children, he visited Epstein's island multiple times.
What a brilliant movie ..Loved it ...People just do not understand this Kind of War .. and want Unreal war movies instead of Movies that close on Historical Accuracy !Amazing War movie ..
I would have loved watching this movie in theaters.
It’s exclusive on apple tv+
Good movie but I was fortunate enough to hear these stories first hand from my father in law, and will never forget them. He joined the Navy on 12/8/41 at 16, by early 1942 he was doing convoy duty as a torpedo man in the destroyer escort fleet. Some of the things in this movie don't exactly match up to what he told me. We miss you Brownie! FLY NAVY!!!
Next up, Hanks will play the role of a captain whose merchant ship gets stuck in the Suez Canal.
Nice that the Canadians and Brits were given some credit, seeing that they did almost all of the hard work in the North Atlantic...I was cheering on the Dickey on her attack
A WW II submarine fights with an enemy destroyer?
That happened very rarely.
Extremely rare. There were, overall, very few incidents when american navy ships actually met german navy ships in combat. The Germans fought the British a couple of times, apart from that it was mostly submarine action. The real naval battles went on in the Pacific.
Can't watch this good movie my phone😠This movie requires to be watch in the theaters
Tooo right
In every depiction of the navy I've ever seen, from 18th century to the modern day, there's always an officer who's job it is to repeat what the captain says. I guess that must be a real thing.
This film looks frikkin awesome.
For someone who is not built like a tough guy, Hanks plays tough men rather well.
That's why he's called an actor
Part of Hanks' success and appeal is just that. He plays the ordinary guy forced to step up.
Moral of the story , it is extremely dangerous to travel with Tom Hanks
I hafta agree...
I've always been amazed at a ships captain. Here is a person who during combat has more than 20 people passing information to him. (Yes I know they're a lot of female captains now just as amazing as their male counterparts). All of this information being passed to one person who has to process it and solve it in less than a second. The captain can't afford to miss any of it. All through my naval career, even as a senior enlisted man, when the captain entered the bridge I couldn't help but to admire him, knowing at some point he has all the answers. Some day he will give orders to either save or sacrifice this ship. It's an enormous responsibility. That's why the Captain has to have the respect of the crew. All the Captains I served had that respect. I haven't seen this movie yet, thanks to Covid 19. I'm sure I will enjoy it despite it's historic inaccuracies.
Thank you for your service.
My father was in the Mexican Navy, being a Lieutenant-Commander and the Naval Attachè of the Embassy of Mexico in London during the whole war. He took me to many WW-II movies and explained to me both the good points and badly made scenes, giving me full, detailed explanations about the war. And you are right, the Captain is under heavy responsibility for his crew and his ship, and in Convoys, the other ships too. It took nerve to navigate in convoys when the wolfpacks were performing their attacks, especially during the first couple of years before ASDIC was mastered, and the Destroyer vs U-Boat (or even more disproportionate Corvette versus U-Boats) fight was frightening.
Multitasking is an integral skill of a military officer.
4:12.....Catalina's were lethal sub killers.......I love those planes.
So were B-24's. Jimmy Stewart said the B-24 was just as good as a B-17 but the B-17 had a better agent.
only just seen this movie i thought it was awsome ...honestly one of the best book to screen interps iv seen
"Kommandant, der Torpedo hat verfehlt! Ziehen wir uns zurück, bevor sie das Feuer erwidern?!?"
"Nein, lass uns noch einen in die gleiche Richtung schießen"
Its so satisfying seeing the aircraft take out the u boats in like 10 seconds when it took the destroyers several minutes
Submarine captains have always been trained to keep periscope use to an an absolute minimum. These U-boat captains keep it above the surface for minutes at a time.
When they are hunting transports that's true. They don't want to let their prey or their escorts know they are there so that they will get more surprise shots in. But at this point of the movie I think the suggestion is that these U-boats are going full out to attack the escorts because they are enraged that they haven't been able to do more damage to this convoy, they've lost 2 of their subs, and the convoy is just about to reach air cover. In this hectic situation they are keeping their periscopes up in order to keep up with the battle but trying to remain hull down to make themselves harder to hit.
@@arkwill14 that's what we call as plot armor, lol,. any sane u-boat commander will withdraw when they see patrol with destroyer, let alone when they're within air cover plus they already lost 2 of their subs.
@humyHumsyong I don't think you understand what 'plot armor' is. Plot armor is when the plot goes to great lengths, even twists itself in knots, to ensure that the main or major characters won't come to major harm. Actions that would get lesser characters easily killed, somehow can be performed by the main character without consequences. And it's not because the main character has some unique skill or ability -- it's simply because the writer needs them to survive and overcome. When overused, audiences know these characters are safe and thus it kills suspense and drama.
I think the word you are looking for is "implausible". And yes, perhaps it was. Submarine commanders in real life would have probably cut their losses and withdrawn in this situation. My point to the OP was that _within the framework of THIS movie_ (hence my use of the word "suggestion" ) these submarines were no longer operating under normal operating objectives and that it had gotten personal. So they were taking risks they normally wouldn't have taken.
Although a thoroughly enjoyable film the stark reality was you didn't see the U boat that close and if you did it was generally too late..the hero of the convoys was sonar and the breach that we made in the enigma code breaking..the escorts although brave and courageous would very seldom go head to head with the subs ..it really was a dirty war..I still believe the true heroes were the merchant sailors..slow ships no armaments and sitting on oil and explosives..my god what a job!!!
I was an army infantryman for 21 years. I thought they had it rough in WWII, then I read about the submariners and I thought they had it rough. But after reading 'Decision Over Swinefurt' I know those bomber crews had it really rough.
Also I kinda hate how they make the Uboat-commander going all out taunting them in a very ridiculous way. Other than that good movie
@@donwayne1357 I was station in Schweinfurt in 1970 and my landlord and son-in-law in the house I lived in worked at SKF bearing works. I learned about the home guard and villagers going out and rounding up the downed bomber crews. We got slaughtered and didn't do much damage for what was the longest raid to and from Schweinfurt.
@@thitran1362 yes that never happened. Ever.
Fantastic would expect nothing else from Mr.Hanks.
Incredible he started out in SNL.
The thing I like about Tom Hanks is he is an every day man caught up in extraordinary circumstances... someone we all hope we would gravitate to if that person was us.
And few years later, this captain joins Normandy landing and dies trying to save a private who lost all of his brothers.
fuck off
Well his rank is equivalent to a lieutenant colonel not a captain
No he did not die. He's hired by Fedex after war and captained a container ship after Fedex.
But before being hired by FedEx he served in vietnam war. After FedEx and Ship command he ended up in a Terminal in New York waiting for his flight.
This isn't a comedy you douche. Don't disrespect the sacrifices of those who fought.
Boy its a good thing his helmsman knew that he MEANT hard to starboard when he ordered hard to port.
I thought I was the only one confused by "hard left rudder"-but-the-ship-turned-right-s and vice versa
These are the comments I appreciate thx
Rudder Orders I believe.
BOOM! indeed. Not much fun being an U-boat commander, when your up against someone who's written the script.
Like playing against someone with ULTRA. ;)
Worse than a U-Boat Commander, being a little kid with pizza and Tom Hanks in the room........
Maybe one day it will be released again on the big screen. Reminds me years ago
of a visit to an air museum where the docents were WWII veterans. Whether in air , sea, or on land , all of us non-military folks can not fully comprehend what our soldiers have experienced. I am greatful to films and actors who give us even a taste of that. Go thank a vet today.
@@SusanLynch-cu4yp Very well said Susan. See, my father was in the Mexican Navy and was sent to London as the Naval Attache of the Embassy of Mexico, even before the entry of Mexico into the allied countries, He was a Lieutenant-Commander at that time, so he had first hand information and knowledge about the war, even suffering under the German bombings of London during the "Blitz". When I was young, my father took me to several movies on WW-II, like "Battle of Britain" in 1970, and later on "Das Boot", but the truly memorable part was just after each movie, he took me to a Coffe Shop, where he asked the waitress to bring him two or three paper placemats, so that he used them to draw detailed maps, sketches and diagrams to explain to me many military subjects, and discuss at lenght the movie, how REALLY was it... Knowing that Mr. Hanks itself is a dedicated studious of WW-II, and his dedication to his career at movies, I have no doubt this movie will be a good one. It is a shame that many people just do not have the slightest idea how the war really was, and show their lack of appreciation ans understanding. My dear father died in 1991, having reached the Vice Admiral rank and being retired. I miss him everyday.
@@alfredomarquez9777 How wonderful to have a father like that! My own father was a Korean War veteran and my father-in-law served in the navy during WWII. Both were teenagers answering the call of there country. I have my own political views regarding warfare,
but I have only respect for those who risk everything for love of
country.
Thanks for making it an RAF Catalina, Tom. Fighting together.
Tom Hanks really is one of the best out there for these kinds of movies 👍
Loved the movie. Picked up subscription just to see it. Tom Hanks did a great job with the character. You could see the weight of responsibility work on him. My father was on a jeep carrier in the pacific and my uncle on a sub chaser in the Atlantic. D-day did in my uncle mentally. He was never "right" afterwards. So many brave men, then and now.
That's like world of warships in real life for me.
warthunder more like it. even has that catalina bomber
Naval creed
Torpedooooooes!!!
i wish i could watch it in the theater maybe it will play in the drive inn
I'm loving the use of the Bofors guns, don't see that often in movies! They are putting in some work harassing and marking the subs.
It’s just a shame this is Hollywood garbage. A U Boat would never stay at periscope depth when under attack like that or fire a single torpedo at a warship. They always fired a spread of 3 at 5 degree intervals and then crash dived to avoid any surface fire or depth charges. Once again historically inaccurate Hollywood crap.
@@stueyguerreiro Not to mention the rounds couldn't do a thing to a submerged vessel below surface. Same mistake as with Saving Private Ryan opening sequence (D-Day landing).
@@DBSTH0R It at least makes you feel better, I suppose.
@@JohnnyShagbot As an engineer, no feeling were lost or gained over this. ;)
My grandfather fought in ww2, Northamptonshire Regiment, saw action in North Africa, Italy, Middle East, France and Germany. He hated being on boats due to U Boats terrifying the soldiers when they were being transported. I love this movie, it shows just how dangerous they were and the efforts to protect the convoys.
I was a BM3 in the USN I was on a tin can for only three weeks, They are the real bad asses in the navy. Life on a tin can is very very difficult especially in rough seas OMG never thought a ship can go from starboard to port rolling like that. After the storm we cleaned up the puke on the bullheads, because when she was rolling we where walking from the deck to starboard and port bulkheads. I would never believe it until I experienced it. don't know how they do it all the time, they are bad ass.
The little corvettes managed to be *worse*. At ~900 tons, they tended to roll a lot, and their accomodations were barely even an afterthought for people who designed them.
I suppose it was acceptable because they were never intended to serve high-intensity escort duties on the open ocean, but ended up there anyways.
the best movie action history war i have ever seen
Tin Can sailor here . Tears in my eyes .
T hanks and chuck should make a movie it would be epic
This really needs a physical media release (4K Blu ray would be nice).
My Grandfather was in a special naval detachment during ww2 called the 'Emerald Detachment ' ,
very hush-hush.
He told us that they had to protect the Atlantic convoys by actively searching out u-boats using the A.S.D.I.C. sonar.
They would locate the u- boat by triangulation the co-ordinates. Then they would circle the u-boat whilst pumping gallons of green/blue oil based paint into the water. When the sub raised its periscope the lense would be coated with this paint.
This would give the u-boat captain the illusion of still being submerged.
The sub would rise up and up
with the captain still waiting falsely for the periscope to have a clear view of the surface. My Grandfather said that they would wait until the u-boat was a hundred feet above the surface of the water and then shoot it down with anti- aircraft guns . : )
Aside from the last part I can kinda genuinely see that being a tactic weirdly enough. Maybe depth charges loaded with coloured oils etc. Doesn't mix with the water so would be pretty difficult to remove
Not to forget the so many who died with nothing but cold salt water.....
That’s really really tough way to put it damn
@@actionswon9478 I know...I mean it with some empathy. Every boy who knowingly died was scared. Breaks my heart. And I did 30 years in the Navy.
The most ever epic film about sea war among warship, submarines and submarine's hunter plane.
... and a lot of hype. These engagements are very improbable. The U-boats are as someone noted to sink commerce: Eliminate war supplies. The escorts tried to keep the submarines under because the couldn't pace the convoy: U-boat could only keep up for perhaps a portion of an hour at the convoy speed. The convoy was zigzagging to avoid a torpedo...it took multiple sightings to derive the base course into the "attack table" (American GATO class the TDC or "is/was"). If you reduced the range you could eliminate that issue... but that put you in the convoy columns
@@francisdavis1271 fake comments🤬🤬
Not submarine u boat they where not built for same purpose
I wish it made the theater to it would made great hit for war lovers
This movie is the most accurate representation of what it’s like in the navy
does anyone else love reading the stories in the comments
25 years in the RAN Gunnery Branch, there’s only one actor who could’ve pulled this off...... Tom Hanks you bloody legend !
Of course this is Hollywood, and it condenses more than reality would provide, but it definitely shows the tension felt by the convoy protection. It also shows the skill needed by the destroyer or frigate involved. Hanks had a very well gunned vessel. Good movie and good representation of history. (From nephew of a convoy passenger to Buenos Aires)
My Great Grandfather made it up to 1st Watch on a U Boat. Trust me, this is about as realistic as a Marvel movie. This is a good movie, but completely goes against to what actually happened when this film was set in 1942.
@@stueyguerreiro that's interesting to hear. I suppose making a movie has a lot of reasons to chose effect over realism, even at the best of times.
David, the class of ship depicted in the movie was real. It is a Fletcher class destroyer of which 175 were built during the war. Some were actually canceled near the end of the war including the hull number depicted in the movie. The Fletcher class was the most widely built destroyer class of the and was followed by 92 Allen M. Sumner and 105 Gearing class destroyers. This will give you an idea to the size of the U.S. Navy during World War II.
@stueyguerreiro That is true for 1942. However, keep in mind that over 700 U-boats were sunk during the war with over 40,000 men lost. 1942 was the "Happy times" of the U-boats, but not so after mid 1943 when they were being sunk faster than they could be replaced.
This movie seams like 10 hours condensed into 2. So much action and i'm generally not into anything fake with war movies. In spite of that, this was a good movie.
Movie should have been in theaters and not only on Apple TV.
My dad reviewed this movie because he is in the navy he said
WHERE TF DID YOU FIND THIS MOVIE THIS IS SO ACCURATE
Tom Hanks play a Smooth Operator in this movie. He knows how to play the game
Many years ago I asked my grandfather what his trip in a troopship across the Atlantic was in 1944. His answer was he didn’t remember it so it must have been boring. He served as a switchboard operator in the Signal Corps with the Third Army from D-Day+11 all the way to Austria. His brothers also served but I never got to know them before they all passed.
i served back in the eary 60s on the uss bristol---DD857--last of the sumner class destroyer ,and it survived ww2---still had some steel plates attached over bullet holes--seeing this movie brought back memories of the old type of bridge--sonar room and fire control station and the arment that the ship still contained
Excellent movie, now they need to do a real life about Captain Erwin and the Destroyer Johnston in the Pacific.
Definitely. What he and his crew accomplished during WW2 was legendary. He was out to be in harms way as the fiercest destroyer known.
That's Captain Ernest E Evans MOH (Posths)
Also the Johnston had some help. The Samuel B Roberts and the Hoel and the Heerman are rarely spoken about.
While the Johnston had the audacity to initiate and lead the charge, perhaps you should look up the story of the Roberts. Known officially in navy lore as "The destroyer-escort that fought like a battleship"
I suggest a box of Kleenex too.
BTW, the film you so rightly suggest should titled "The Dragons of Samar"
Adios
@@TheMagusOfTheMagnaCarta Support actors needed.
They were all very courageous.
It might be a good movie but totally historically inaccurate. Unfortunately that’s what makes it a bad film.
I agree, I would have loved to see this movie in IMAX. Then end caption was great.
I was a GMG2 on the USS Laffey (DD-724), three years on the tin can, Gun Mount 51, 5"/38 Dual ....This is all too real.
If you served on a U.S. Navy warship, especially on the bridge, you're really going to enjoy this movie. I've watched it 3 times...so far.
My Dad served on DD677, USS McDermutt during WWII and I always wanted to be a tin can sailor. I was really disappointed when I got orders to the USS Long Beach because I knew I'd never see action like this. I've trasnitted Leyte and the Surigaio Straight many times and it always brought back memories of my Dad. God Bless all the Tin Can Sailors!
What years served. On the Long beach in 1977.
@@WendyMcBrideRose I serves on USS Long Beach from Sept 1970 until December 1974.
just in case you're interested one of the most hauntingly accurate fiction novels regarding the u-boat/Atlantic war is Alistair Maclean's, HMS Ulysses it's a forgotten gem
and should be in everyone's library.
Or you could read Nicholas Monsaratt's, 'Three Corvettes' or 'The Cruel Sea' for a completely accurate tale.
Spot on. If Maclean had not written lots of thrillers later that book might be more highly regarded. It deserves to regarded as a classic. I would also recommend Rendezvous South Atlantic by Douglas Reeman, about a converted cruise ship and the mix of reserve and professional naval types aboard, and an entertaining read with a slightly more fanciful plot (though also mostly convoy escort stuff) is Brian Callison's a Flock Of Ships. I am currently reading The Blooding Of The Guns, a novel of the battle of Jutland, and finding it quite immersive....all that just in case anyone is interested.....
@1crem1 That's the one. (BTW I did a 'top ten nautical novel' list on my little channel in the lockdown if anyone is interested).
Oh yes, who could forget the final ramming attack (on Hipper, if memory serves) by Ulysses, basically an uprated Dido-class cruiser with steam at max pressure, safeties off, planing over the water at forty knots?
@@nickmartin563 : That would be Monsarrat, and yes he did spin a good yarn. But there's very little inaccurate about "The Good Shepherd", barring artistic licence of the same kind Monsarrat used. Like him, C.S. Forester knew his stuff; and for "The Good Shepherd" relied on two advisors, a former US destroyer commander and a former COMSUBPAC.
The movie had its own historical issues owing to the available museum ships, but nothing unusual; many Fletcher class destroyers for example were made on the Eastern or Caribbean seaboard, and patrolled the west Atlantic before transiting Panama to the Pacific theatre.
Nice to see RAF Coastal Command Catalina doing the business....my physics Master used to be a Navigator on one of those..... Out there in the Atlantic, .....he must have been good at his job.
Catalina was the same plane that spotted the Bismarck also.
@@brianreed5419 Don't forget it was a Catalina that spotted Admiral Yamamoto's main battle fleet at Midway. Those planes were everywhere!
love some of the comments about this not being factual. If it was made to be factual it would be boring as hell. I've seen enough documentary type scenes to understand.
Go watch Das Boot.
loved that movie
For a fictional war drama, it's *very* factual, including many of the actual tactics used - like the Gray Wolf uboat getting in between the convoy ships to use them as cover, use of decoys (and surprise it caused for the crew), attacking the convoy from the surface at night, shadowing convoys on the surface, firing anti-aircraft guns at spotted periscopes to keep them obscured, indicating targets for aircraft via fire, varying depth charge patterns etc etc
@@paulzuk1468 One of the U-boat aces actually made it part of his tactics to get inside the convoy. He knew that they couldn't shoot at him there because they might hit one of their own ships. He coined the phrase, one torpedo for one ship.
@@richardcline1337 It was a relatively widespread tactic, and caused the Allies a sizeable amount of grief, as in the early days they assumed uboats wouldn't dare do that.
WATU eventually cracked it and developed doctrinal countermeasures.
My grandfather did this. Fucking respect.
