Trivialidades:

The caption before the end credits, detailing the fact that the Royal Navy captured the first Enigma machine, was only added after an outcry in Britain, where it was believed that Hollywood was trying to claim the credit for the Americans (whose forces captured no German Naval Enigma material until 1944).

Errores:

Anacronismos: In one scene several American sailors are wearing German uniforms with the swastika insignia on opposite sides of their shirts. In another scene, American sailors in dress uniforms are wearing ribbon bars for awards that did not exist in 1942.

Citas:

Chief Klough: What the hell are those yardbirds doing to my boat?

A Good Utilization of Sound

As far as thrillers go, U-571 is a well made film. Although it's historical inaccuracies are awful, it still serves as a great theater experience. It won a well deserved Oscar for it's sound, which, in the right theater, makes the film well worth the admission. Sound is the key essential to U-571.

The characters are simple, the plot is simple, and the film probably won't haunt you long after you've seen it, but that's OK. Just sit back and enjoy the claustrophobic sets, the deafening sound effects, and the non-stop action for what it's worth.
