      the truth of war

      This is a classic movie.
           The background of the beginning of the film is the first World War just launched. Germany is mobilizing for the war. All people are accepting the slogan and ideas of "dedicate yourself to the motherland, strive for victory in the war, win personal honor, and become a...

      Classic anti-war movie. There are many shots from inside to outside the house in the first half. Once the characters in the second half are created, the focus will shift to personal emotions, which makes everything around become a personal psychological activity. It’s still very meaningful. In fact, for war movies, if it is grasped from the opposite side of war, it will not meet the expectations of many people who have not released the violence, so this will not prevent World War II.

    All Quiet on the Western Front quotes

    • Albert Kropp: Ah, the French certainly deserve to be punished for starting this war.

      Detering: Everybody says it's somebody else.

      Tjaden: Well. how do they start a war?

      Albert Kropp: Well, one country offends another.

      Tjaden: How could one country offend another?

      Tjaden: You mean there's a mountain over in Germany gets mad at a field over in France?

      [Everyone laughs]

      Albert Kropp: Well, stupid, one people offends another.

      Tjaden: Oh, well, if that's it, I shouldn't be here at all. I don't feel offended.

      Katczinsky: It don't apply to tramps like you.

      Tjaden: Good. Then I could be goin' home right away.

      Paul Bäumer: Ah, you just try it.

      Katczinsky: Yeah. You wanna get shot?

      Tjaden: The kaiser and me...

      [the others laugh]

      Tjaden: Me and the kaiser felt just alike about this war. We didn't either of us want any war, so I'm going home. He's there already.

      Hair-peak soldier: Somebody must have wanted it. Maybe it was the English. No, I don't want to shoot any Englishman. I never saw one 'til I came up here. And I suppose most of them never saw a German 'til *they* came up here. No, I'm sure *they* weren't asked about it.

      Paul Bäumer: No.

      Detering: Well, it must be doing somebody some good.

      Detering: Not me and the kaiser.

      Hair-peak soldier: I think maybe the kaiser wanted a war.

      Tjaden: You leave us out of this!

      Katczinsky: I don't see that. The kaiser's *got* everything he needs.

      Hair-peak soldier: Well, he never had a war before. Every full-grown emperor needs one war to make him famous. Why, that's history.

      Paul Bäumer: Yeah, generals, too. They need war.

    • Franz Kemmerich: [to Mueller] Why it's an honor to have those boots in your face. They're the best pair in the army.
