      Soldier's war

      There was no war on the western front. Before watching the movie, I thought this was a story of a group of people who didn’t know what war was and just wanted to make fun. It was the western version of "only Hangzhou as Bianzhou." As the trembling black-and-white footage with dubbing and dubbing...

      Record the deceived generation

      How the state authority brainwashed the people, watching this film, you will have a deeper feeling. When I was in college, I always said to everyone that this is the most memorable film, especially when Paul returned to his hometown. The resistance of frontline warfare and the expression of the...

      When I watched the first half, I didn’t figure out who the protagonist was (not the one in the movie poster), but I only found out that it was Paul in the second half. I watched "Blood Battle at Hacksaw Ridge" last year and "No War on the Western Front" today. They are all anti-war themes. The actor of "West" is not as special as "Blood". He is passionate and ignorant. After going to the battlefield, there is a shortage of food, poor accommodation conditions, cannonballs flying, and his life is like grass. There is no blood splatter effect, so the shock is less powerful. At the end, Paul returned to his hometown for vacation. He was already disheartened by the war, but the old men in his hometown were still talking about the war, and the old teachers were still agitating the students. On the battlefield, the chilling Paul returned to the battlefield. He stretched out his hand to catch a butterfly while hiding in the trenches, but was killed by the enemy. This ending was somewhat absurd and poetic. Although Westerners have always been militants, at least they still have people who can make these anti-war films, these films that expose the ridiculous and cruelty of war, but our war films still always tout the heroes of the battlefield and put the war on The depiction is both great and tragic. Sad!

      After the seemingly "fuck" in the first twenty minutes, the scenes of the war are in good condition. The long shots of the war scenes are real and beautiful, and the delicate performance of the friendship of comrades in the war. The second half extends into the anti-war theme. The idiot in the tavern makes the protagonist and the audience together. I feel chilly, the ending is tragic, but I have to admit that it was a classic, but unfortunately the transition editing of the whole film made me straightforward, so it is a small regret in terms of the degree of completion of the whole film.

    All Quiet on the Western Front quotes

    • Ginger - the Cook: [looking at soldiers lined up to eat] What do you want?

      Katczinsky: Beans, you homely-looking son of a frog's leg! What do you think I want?

      Ginger - the Cook: [the men shout that they're hungry] Shut up! I'll feed you when you're all here.

      Tjaden: We're all here now!

      Ginger - the Cook: Only half the company's here. Get the rest! Wake 'em up!

      Katczinsky: [the men laugh] I wish I could wake 'em up. There's 80 of us left. The rest is in dressin' stations or pushin' up daisies!

      Ginger - the Cook: [shocked] 80? And I cooked for 150!

      Westhus: All right, we'll have enough for once. Come on, dish out!

      Tjaden: You mean you've cooked beans for 150?

      [the cook nods]

      Tjaden: And you've got bread for 150 and sausage for 150 and tobacco for 150?

      Ginger - the Cook: Everything. It's all wrong. I should have been notified!

      Katczinsky: What a feast! Everyone gets two issues!

      [the waiting men shout]

      Katczinsky: [trying to keep order in the ranks] Get back in line! Get back in line!

      Ginger - the Cook: Oh, no, that woun't do. I can't give 80 men what's meant for 150.

      Katczinsky: [he starts to punch the cook but thinks better of it and tries to be persuasive] Listen, you drew rations for the Second Company, didn't yuh?

      Ginger - the Cook: Yes.

      Katczinsky: All right, we're the Second Company!

      [the men shout]

      Ginger - the Cook: I got my orders.

      Albert Kropp: [agreeing with Kat] That's right.

      Paul Bäumer: We're the Second Company and if only half of us get back, that's our good luck. Come on, dish it out!

      Ginger - the Cook: [the men shout] No!

      Katczinsky: [grabbing the cook by the throat] You're the yellowest baboon that ever drew a cook wagon, and you're scared, and it shows! All we want to hear out of you is one more little yip, and we'll cut yuh up and eat you raw! Why, you keep your kitchen so far back of the lines, we never get anything to eat until it's cold and we're asleep. Now, you low doen rat, get out, or we wreck the joint, so help me!

      [the men shout]

      Katczinsky: Come on, give us some food!

    • Tjaden: There used to be some food in the sawdust. Now it's all sawdust.
