      Cammerick is
      a nice fellow like Kemmerick.

      Yeah France must pay
      for starting this war Ah, the French certainly deserve to be punished for starting this war.

      Every country says it's another country It 's the fault
      Everyone says it's somebody else. Well,

      how
      do they start a war? Well, one

      country

      How could one country offend...

      ultimate form of destruction

      No war on the Western Front: Frontline soldiers are starving and under fire, their lives hanging by a thread. The rear is in high spirits, hungry and hungry for victory. In the future, if anyone wants to fight, he will draw an area and let the generals and kings fight directly without weapons. Whoever wins will truly win.
      A team of 200 people looking for food
      would be cut in half after one fight, and half again after another fight, and the recruits could only die.

      Anti-war movie?

      There was a wave of anti-war movies after World War I, especially after World War II, when the Vietnam War reached its peak. why? The model of national war, many young people who have read books go to the battlefield, these people who have learned humanitarianism, do not understand what war, violence, killing is, they are all sad petty bourgeoisie, eager to read, work, and then Living peacefully, the state interrupted their plans for a happy life, making it impossible for them to live....

      blood is never bright

      Today, after watching Ang Lee's new film "Billy Lynn's Halftime War", I thought of giving a good review of the old film "All Quiet on the Western Front". In the past century, technology has advanced to an unparalleled level, but in contrast to the ideology and authenticity, it is a war movie, but it stands out. The former is at most scratching its head (although Director Ang Lee is also a director I respect very much), while the latter is the peerless elegance, especially after reading the...

      A very good war movie, although the theme is not novel, but the details are well handled, such as the scene of listening to the bombing sound in the hut full of mice underground, and the part of the German soldier and the French girl is also...

      Constrained by age and technology, Battlefield isn't as expressive as the original, but it's still the greatest anti-war movie. Every government will claim that the war started by other countries first, every teacher will tell you that it is a great and glorious thing to "die for the country", and those "patriots" who stay out of it will only stand behind with beer. The belly tells the army to move forward and move forward, and those instigators of war will only stand on the podium and agitate...

      A very good-looking film, which tells the meaning of war from an individual point of view, its cruelty, and its impact on everyone. It deserves to be the best picture in the Oscars. Even if it is compared with today's movies, it can be regarded as one of the few good movies....

      The people in the rear drink beer and encourage the continuous advancement of the war. The casualties are only a number to them. At the same time, they encourage batches of young people to die in the war with the sense of honor of the void; the soldiers on the front line are blood and blood. Struggling, there is not much honor left, living today and not knowing tomorrow has made them unable to think about this, all they can do is to save their lives, the last shot of reaching out to capture the...

    Movie plot

    During the First World War, the German government used beautiful slogans to call on young and enthusiastic student volunteers to join the battlefield to defend their homeland. Paul and his classmates were instigated by the teacher’s chauvinistic ideas to devote themselves to the world with heroic ideals. During the war, these young people had idealized life and war. After training, these young "baby soldiers" were sent to participate...

    Behind the scenes

    In the film, Paul's hand to catch the butterfly is actually the hand of the director Lewis Milestone.
    To ensure the authenticity of the film, director Lewis Milestone asked people to find German veterans living in the New York area to provide guidance on the German military uniforms and equipment that appeared in the film. Later, those German veterans became extras in the film.
    Because of the role of Paul in the film, Lew Ayres refused...
