I loved Metropolitan but I doubt that many people would get it. Your take on Das Boot is dead on, the crew was fighting for their boat and each other's survival, not an ideology. The ending scene was so fitting, as the boat dies so does the Captain who was the soul of the crew. Amazing movie.

Metropolitan is very subtle in it's message(s) and might easily pass over some people. Barcelona is a little more upfront with the conservative message. I love the scene with the American naval officer sitting with a bunch of leftist anti American Spainairds! That is priceless.
