Greyhound is out

[Cantaro]

Good acting with Tom Hanks, good action with lots of suspense. The ocean looked like animation at times, but passable.. IMDB 7.2

U.S. Navy Cmdr. Ernest Krause is assigned to lead an Allied convoy across the Atlantic during World War II. His convoy, however, is pursued by German U-boats. Although this is Krause's first wartime mission, he finds himself embroiled in what would come to be known as the longest, largest and most complex naval battle in history: The Battle of the Atlantic. Based on a 1955 novel, the film follows a Navy captain who must shepherd men and ships across the perilous Atlantic Ocean to join the war .

I fell asleep 20 minutes in... Won't bother trying to finish it.

Don't know about the movie but the U-Boat casualty rate in the real Battle of the Atlantic was something like 98% by war's end.

Another WW2 movie... Am I getting old or there were no good movies made in the last 10 years?

Am I getting old or there were no good movies made in the last 10 years?

The answer is quite clear.

If you can find it, get The Corvette Navy- True Stories from Canada's Atlantic War. A book by James Lamb that describes the CANADIAN perspective on the Battle of the Atlantic written by a Canadian naval reservist who took part in it from the beginning to the end. An honest, raw and unvarnished account of Canada's navy in the longest battle of the war. The Canadian role in the Battle of Atlantic is probably the greatest contribution our country made during WWII, yet hardly even known. Not criticising Hanks or the US Navy, but it was the Brits and the Canadians who kept the sea lanes open, at a great cost, and defeated the Nazi navy.

Of course you fell asleep 20 minutes in.

Of course you will.

We have an older family’s friend who’s father joined the Canadian navy in WW2 when he was 17 and shoveled coal in the basement of the Haida back and forth across the Atlantic.

when the war was done he never spoke about it. Settled in Hamilton into a quiet life as a Bell tech.

I can’t even begin to imagine the stress level he had as a young man for those 3 yrs, stuck in the boiler room, always knowing if the ship got hit, he’d never see the sunlight before it went down.

fuck me.

HMCS Haida came online after the the uboats were defeated. Not to take anything away from a fine ship, but the oil powered Tribals missed the "great fun" of the 1940-1942 struggle when our navies were on the brink of defeat.

Who won?
Tom Hanks = instant yawn factor. Type casting gone wild. Captain Sully,Captain Phillips....

 

[black booty lover]

I watched it, wasn't impressed at all.


The whole fucking movie is Tom Hanks yelling "Starboard zero three knots!!!" followed by one of his subordinates replying "Starboard zero three knots!".

I agree but they were still great movies. This one is a heaping pile of shit.

but it was the Brits and the Canadians who kept the sea lanes open, at a great cost, and defeated the Nazi navy.

The Brits also sunk Nazi surface ships like the Bismarck and the Graf Spee.

79 years ago, the British won a surprise victory over Nazi Germany in the first major naval battle of World War II

The British faced a bleak outlook in the early days of World War II, but a naval victory thousands of miles away from Europe boosted spirits at home.

Cannot be true. That is fake news. The Americans won the war.

 

[Darts]

To be fair to the American navy led by Admiral Nimitz, turned the JIN into scrap metal.

It was President Teddy Roosevelt who created the modern American navy. At the time it was called "The Great White Fleet".

Even though I thought the movie sucked, I must admit the trailer still makes the moving look great, and I must have watched it very poor quality because it looks way better in the trailer. Had I of seen it in this quality, might have been slightly better.

 

[jcpro]

I didn’t know that!

Not many do. By 1943 the Brits were using their intelligence to drive the convoys at the known concentrations of the German uboats instead of away. They essentially used the merchies as bait to destroy the Nazis.

 

[Twister]

The movie was good, not as fun as lets say: "the inglorious bastards" but a decent war movie. You have to get a good quality one. The allies even after decoding German transmitions had to sacrifice some ships to act as if they didn't know not to give away that they cracked their system. See the imitation game.
