Other submarine films from the fantasy or science fiction film genres depict entirely fictitious events, such as the various film versions of Jules Verne's novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. In some cases, these fictional submarine films may weave together some details from actual events. Other submarine movies develop a fictional plot created using submarine types and tactical or technological issues that are associated with these conflicts, such as the film U-571, which tells the story of a fictional U-boat in World War II. Some movies depict historical events from actual battles or incidents, such as Above Us the Waves, a 1955 film which depicts the true story of the British Royal Navy's midget submarines attacks on the Tirpitz. Many submarine movies are set in World War II or during the Cold War, with varying degrees of fictional elements. This is a list of movies, grouped by era, in which a submarine plays a significant role in the storyline. Several submarine films use occasional 'dark humor' as comic relief to the tension, in common with other war films. This sets this sub-genre apart from its parent genre of war films, which tend to focus more on battle scenes. While submarine films do use dramatic battle scenes, much of the tension in these movies tends to be created using other devices, such as conflict between officers, a threatened mutiny, damage to the boat, or life-threatening problems with the diving equipment or the engines/nuclear reactor.

Modern (post-World War II) movies often add conflict between different enemies.Īlso a typical feature in all depicted eras is the sudden switch from hunter to hunted while stalking enemy ships or carrying deadly nuclear missiles, the submarine often becomes, within moments, the hunted victim of overwhelming attack, the crew fleeing for its collective life. A stock scene in the submarine genre film is the depiction of a grim-faced submarine crew waiting in silence as depth charges explode overhead and bolts fly out of bulkheads in the submarine (they are dead silent because sound carries extremely well underwater, and so even the sound of men talking on a submarine would be picked up by normal sonar on other ships).

Films from this subgenre tend to feature dramatic scenes in which submarine-hunters try to destroy submarines with depth charges. To heighten this tension, these films often depict submarine commanders descending below ' hull crush depth' to evade attackers.

Because Craig Roberts and Yasmin Paige are enormously likable in their roles, they win our sympathy and make us realize that too many movies about younger teenagers are filtered through the sensibility of more weathered minds.The danger from the extreme pressure of deep water dives and the claustrophobic, cramped submarine quarters imbues films of the subgenre with a great deal of dramatic tension. It's a self-confident work for the first-time director, Richard Ayoade, whose purpose I think is to capture that delicate moment in some adolescent lives when idealism and trust lead to tentative experiments. It flaunts some stylistic devices, such as titles and sections and self-aware narration, but it doesn't try too hard to be desperately clever. 'Submarine' isn't an insipid teen sex comedy. Simultaneously, Oliver very much wants to start having sex - with Jordana Bevan, who for now occupies all the space available in his mind for possible partners. He reports to us that his parents have stopped having sex and explains the ingenious method he used to figure this out. It is Oliver's concern that his mother may be growing too involved with Graham Purvis. Right now, she is entranced by a self-styled mystic named Graham Purvis ( Paddy Considine), who has the gift of holding an audience spellbound with utter nonsense he seems to make up as he goes along. His mother ( Sally Hawkins) is, like many Sally Hawkins characters, earnestly engaged in whatever occupies her. His father ( Noah Taylor) is an oddly quiet man, withdrawn, not quite there in the room. Their relationship begins with earnest exchanges of searching looks in the school corridor, and soon progresses to having dinner at Oliver's house when his parents aren't home. She isn't a tart, nor is she any more experienced than Oliver, but she's more confident. For example, she knows some of them need leadership or they will stew forever in self-doubt. Jordana understands this, and a great many other things about adolescent boys.
