Default U-571

Just finished watching U-571, and what a great film... However, a pack of lies. Why is it Hollywood rewrite history???

You're right there. Great escape, Braveheart, Rob Roy, U-571, The patriot, and yet can make something like 1492-Conquest that is so accurate is is unreal!
The problem is that younger people take it as gospel, and as such history becomes even more skewed than when it was written to start with!

I remember the explosion at the end of that movie was bigger than if a nuke went off onboard. I didn't like the movie and I normally like naval flicks.

Are you talking about in the movie or in real life b/c he's definitely still around in real life and all the old ladies love him.
