      @@edelgyn2699 well, not just that. From an Australian perspective, we had just become 'Federated' (not independent though) and the men of Australia were so excited about going overseas on an "adventure", not really understanding what war really was. So much so that despite the enlistment age being 16, many young boys as young as 12 actually lied about their age & disappeared from home only to be writing to their families on the front lines. They freely went themselves. We now call them 'the lost generation'. as those poor boys who did survive came home utterly broken.

      In Germany, soldiers from the past did not receive any honors or even names after the fact. Especially not from WWII, since they were all fascists and Nazis. Everything is prevented from young people from taking something like this as a role model. Politicians are paying very close attention to this.
      War films are reviewed and evaluated very critically in Germany. Even All Quiet on the Western Front has been titled as the worst war movie of all time by some film critics.
      However, I find it outstanding and absolutely worth seeing. Even if it's hard to bear.

    All Quiet on the Western Front is one of the most incredible, depressing, thought-provoking WW1 movies I’ve ever watched. It perfectly captures the senselessness and tragedy of war. The film doesn’t romanticise the battles. It is honest in its portrayal. Both sides are depicted as possessing brutality and humanity because that was the reality of the war. Young men were sent into a meat grinder by their superiors for a few kilometres of farmland, their innocence stolen. If you haven’t already, please find the time to watch this masterpiece.

      @John I meant beautiful in the sense that the ability of the author to accurately capture the horror of WWI and the loss that the young soldiers felt not only in terms of losing friends but also in the ability to live a normal life since many joined before they establish a family, a career, or roots to come back to. "The war has ruined us for everything. He is right. We are not youth any longer. We don’t want to take the world by storm. We are fleeing. We fly from ourselves. From our life. We were eighteen and had begun to love life and the world; and we had to shoot it to pieces. The first bomb, the first explosion, burst in our hearts. We are cut off from activity, from striving, from progress. We believe in such things no longer..." So while the subject matter is haunting, the author's writing style captured that horror in a beautiful way.

      I agree. There are not a lot of war movies showing their side, most of them just showing the US to be superior and the good guys. This one gives a much appreciated nuance on the whole situation. You almost feel sorry for soldiers thinking they could all have been good pals and shared a beer together had it not been for the war. They are all suffering and paying because of the stupidity and ego of old men. They wouldn't even join their men but talk big about sacrifice and glory... Ugh

    My grandfather fought in the trenches in WW1. He had just finished college when he was called up, he was due to a get a job in engineering but after fighting in the war, he decided to become a doctor. He had said that he felt helpless when his comrades got injured and died on the battlefield so he dedicated the rest of his life to helping others who were injured or ill. Unfortunately he didn‘t get to live as long as he wanted since he was exposed to mustard gas. Because he became a doctor, he knew how he‘d die. He‘d died 5 decades after fighting.

      Without WWI happening or finishing the way it did, the factors leading to the rise of totalitarianism and the events leading to WWII would have never happened. That war was a colossal tragedy over one nation that provoked a war by issuing an ultimatum that no country would have accepted to a country whose radicals assassinated the heir to the other nation's throne. When that heir was down in a historical city of that people to celebrate a humiliating victory over such people. So both sides were in the wrong. That incident escalated tensions to the point where that minor regional conflict escalated, plunging the whole world into an unstoppable maelstrom of death and destruction. That war should be looked at more and more in history in the US, Britain, and Europe because it has a more substantial impact. Because that war created the Nazis, it empowered the Bolsheviks to take over Russia and implement a Communist regime, making the Blackshirts that took over Italy. That conflict set up the rest of the 20th century because of one Gavrilo Princip assassinating Austro-Hungarian Crown Prince Franz Ferdinand and his wife. Pretty remarkable how one average joe could do a drastic act and commit the world to war when a major war had not gripped Europe since Napoleon Bonaparte over a century prior.

If youre watching looking forward to "which side you'll bet for", wanting to see generals win and war cries of victory, this is the movie for you, because it needs to be realized that there's no true winners of war, atleast for the soldiers that fought them.

Feeling the bleak and dreary grey of the lorries. And finally the dark sky of the front lit up with bright red and green flares and star shells. God that book really paints insanely vivid images that I’ve been illustrating my own interpretations recently.

      Erich Maria Remarque is in a very special category when it comes to depicting the tragedy of human condition. Try reading "The Triumph Arc" and "Three Friends". The sense of dread is always palpable, even when there seem to be streaks of light on any given page.

    One of the saddest parts of this war? When the armistice that ended the war was signed at 5 AM on November 11th, there was a six hour delay until it would come into effect on ‘the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month’. During these few hours, many commanders from both sides of the conflict ordered their troops to attack certain enemy targets, hoping to capture as much territory as possible before the armistice came into effect on 11 AM, to ‘bring glory and honor’ to their respective nations.
    No territory was captured and it is estimated that a total of between 3000 - 10 900 soldiers died as a result.
    The last soldier of any belligerent country to be killed in the so-called ‘War to End All Wars’ was the American soldier Henry Gunther. He was of German-American descent and therefore experienced a ton of discrimination from his superiors. This made him want to prove himself to them and he began charging up towards a German roadblock with machine guns, which caused them to open fire, after failed attempts to gesture for him to stop.
    The armistice came into effect on 11 AM. Henry was killed at 10:59 AM. If he had waited for literally one minute, he would’ve survived the war and gone home to his family. But he didn’t, because the people in charge thought glory was worth more than human life.

    My Great Grandfather fought at the Somme in WW1, his survival story is one still sticks with me years after hearing it.
    When he was injured he was carried off to an aid station, to get there him and his comrades would have to walk down a country road, my great grandfather told the men carrying him to put him down because he only hold them back and put them in danger, so they lay him in a bank at the side of the dirt road gave him some ammunition and some cigarettes and carried on without him.
    He stayed there up until he could hear a horse and cart coming up the road, so he dug himself in and aimed his rifle down the road thinking it was Germans coming toward him, as the cart come into view he recognised the man on the cart, it was one of his mates from his home town in Exmouth, Devon UK, he was then put on the cart and taken back to an aid station which he was then later bandaged up and sent home.
    Still to this day I find it a truly amazing story.

      Paronax does have a point.... a point that should be part of the movie and definitely was in the two previous ones.
      The old movies depict very well, how the combination of patriotism, propaganda, peer pressure and having no clue what the war was really like made the boys recruited right in the class-room volunteer to go into "glorious battle" only to find themselves stuck in a quagmire beyond their worst nightmares. The coloured one even had one of the soldiers returning for a brief vacation and calling out the recruiters to their faces, only for the young boys to call him a coward because they've been so indoctrinated and high on patriotism (I don't remember if the black-and-white had that scene too... it's been so long since I've seen that).
      Though naturally there was one group that was definitely not tricked into serving: Conscripts.
      And that's why I really don't like the direction this trailer is showing. It's all epic and spectacular, but that's not what the old movies were about (I haven't read the book, so I can't comment on that). Also the old ones were all about the soldiers in the trechnes from the persepctive of a specific boy, not the high command and officers.

    Just finished watching it today. It's unforgiving.
    WW1 always hits me the most. Probably because it always makes me think of my great-grandfather and about everything he must have been through. Born in 1892 in the 'Harz Gebirge' (Harz-mountains) in central Germany, he was one of the unfortunate sons send to the Western-Front. After taking shrapnel from a nearby artillery shell, he was taken to a field hospital where they patched him up. After he recovered they saw him fit enough to be send back to the Western-Front, but he himself had other plans... In the middle of the night he smashed the locks of a prison cell containing a Belgium prisoner he befriended and they both took the leap of faith and fled towards the neutral Netherlands, this was still however miles and miles away from the Western-Front. Supossedly according to my grandfather they miraciously found an old rowboat in the water eventually (it makes you re-evaluate your opinion on fate).
    They must have labeled him a deserter, a 'Feigling' as the Germans would've called it. I'd say it takes guts to do what he did, the man was a survivor and even till this day it brings tears to my eyes thinking about it, the fact that his blood runs through my veins.

      The followup story is more tragic though. My great grandfather settled in the Netherlands and married in 1921, but basically being a war refugee meant that he had to start everything up from scratch. This also meant that he didn't have the money to neutralise his Nationality, something that would come back to haunt him when the Nazis would annex the Netherlands during WW2.
      During WW2 the Nazis came to his house and took his two oldest sons, because my great-grandfather was still technically of German nationality... He attempted to escape war, but war wasn't finished with him yet... His oldest son Friedrich (Freek in Dutch) died in France, mangled beyond recognition by a fighter plane's machine gun. His second oldest was send to the Eastern front and never came back when the war ended.
      My grandfather was 17 in 1945 and in the first stages of recruitment when the war ended, considering WW2 was in it's last stage, it's almost certain that he would have been send to the Battle of Berlin or something similar, meaning almost certain dead. The war ended just in time for my grandfather.
      My great-grandfather himself was too old for active service, however being a German in occupied Holland meant that he had privileges, one of them being that he was allowed to walk the streets during evening curfews, which he used to warn adresses with Jewish families in hiding. After the war that all didn't matter much though, there was a huge anti-German sentiment and he was German after all... so they robbed him of his tractor and farming equipment, leaving him to start back up from scratch yet again.
      My great-grandfather died in 1952 at the age of 60. The piece of shrapnel he took during WW1 was travelling through his body and punctured his organs. Around 1955 the second oldest son showed up at home, rags of cloth bound around his feet and almost unrecognizable. He was finally released from Soviet prison. He was an alcoholic for the remainder of his life.

      "Stay and fight" for a hopeless cause. The western front was the most pointless front in human history. 5 million young men between 13 and 30 years old died for 200 meters/yards of terrain gain in only 4 years. That's like wiping out the entire population of a country like Denmark in just 4 years time.
      Is it bravery to fight in a battle where people's heads are smashed in like eggshells, burned to a crisp by flamethrowers and are just simply killed by the thousands on a daily basis?
      I believe bravery is to rise against adversity, to do something despite the odds and despite fear of repercussions in order to gain something greater, usually a greater good. When a war/battle gains absolutely utterly nothing other than an early grave, can we then speak of a greater good? When it renounces the whole concept of bravery, the only viable act of bravery left is saving your own soul in order to survive.
      Besides my great-grandfather already nearly died by shrapnel from a grenade/artillery shell and almost certainly already witnessed lots of his brothers perish. It's not like he fled on the first day he arrived there.

      There’s a difference between a War with swords and Shields, and a War with Weapon Arsenal. The different experiences. One is just more destructive than the other. That’s all it is, giving the Warrior a harsher experience.

    The movie is absolutely fantastic, some of the sequences from the book have been changed, but the overall artistic adaptation very much preserves the core of what made it so amazing. It is absolutely worth watching even if you haven't read the book. It's pretty depressing, but that's what war is - there are no redeeming qualities to it, it always messes you up in one way or another.
