I'm 52, grandmother of 9, poet, wannabe writer, breed Nubian goats, and am going to start making soaps and fudge from my goat milk eventually. I'd like to become semi self -sufficient; I have planted numerous fruit trees and keep chickens for eggs.

I first saw this movie in the theatre about 20 years ago, and the feeling throughout was one of dread and doom. It was eerie, nobody wanted to whisper, or rustle sweet wrappers or anything, because you were just so engrossed in this movie and even when you swallowed, it was like a gulp that echoed, such was the intensity of the silence. I think you definitely feel as if you are in the vaccum, sitting on the bottom of the sea, and knowing death comes closer with each breath. It was a masterpiece then, and is now rearing it's head for a second round of popularity.
It is a LONG movie, and I think intentionally done, so as to make you realise how long time can be in a situation like this. How it would feel to be in that situation. And let's face it - this REALLY happened to hundreds of men on both sides during WWII. What a harrowing experience. And again, recently, to the Russian submarine, the Kursk.
Recently this was on cable and I saw it again. It has lost nothing - I was as awestruck as the first time. Truly a tribute to the brilliant acting of all concerned, the behind-the-scenes crew and all those technicians involved in the making of this.
It's now out on DVD - if you've not seen it yet, GET IT! It's 3 hours that will grip you and leave you with the feeling that it was an experience you are glad not to have missed.
