Keitel and Jon Bon Jovi.It took place during the Second World War (1939-1945).In the film,a German submarine (warship underwater) is boarded in 1942 by American soldiers who made themselves up as Germans.They took away the German submarine's codelanguage machine,which,in the film,helps the Americans get many secret messages from Germany.
However,the film was heavily criticized because it was actually the British who got the machine in May 1941 when they boarded U110.The movie was also criticized for showing a scene where the Uboat sailors killed American sailors in the water after their ship sunk,which is,in 99% cases,impossible to happen.
The 300 Spartans
The latest controversy surrounds the film The 300 Spartans.The film (directed by Zack Synder) tells the story of the battle between the Greeks and Persians in 480 BC.It is regarded as a key event in the birth of western democracy(民主) by some historians.In the film,300 Spartans under the king fight against the enemies,120,000 Persians led by Emperor Xerxes.The tiny Spartan forces repeatedly gain advantage over the invaders.These actions delay the Persians' attack and give the Greek armies enough time to prepare for the defense of Athens.But the Iranians (modernday Persians) aren't happy with the film.They say the film describes them as savage,killingloving,and warloving.
