The piece that I selected is the opening sequence of U-571.This film is a newer film made in the classic Hollywood style and can fit reasonably well in the suspense genre.This scene takes place inside U-571 and provides the basis for the plot of the whole movie.Just to make sure everyone knows about the U-boats there is a blurb at the beginning explaining the importance of these deadly submarines in Hitler's attack upon the world.They were the main weapons in restricting the flow of troops and supplies to England and Europe during world war two.This scene introduces the main German character, the Capitan of the German U-boat.This sequence also introduces the "Enigma" coding machine as an important part of the plot.The other main introductions are that of the engine problems that exist within this particular boat and the ability of depth charges to cause serious damage to the submarines.
