Movie: Run Silent, Run Deep


cover

I decided to watch this to compare it with Das Boot. A disappointment. It winds up playing like a Navy recruitment film, and doesn’t come close to expressing the gravity of submarine warfare the way Das Boot does. A strange irony to contemplate: maybe being on the winning side leaves less room for honest artistic expression.
