Who is calling for war?

As an anti-war movie, "All Quiet on the Western Front" is asking a question - who really wants war? The first time Second Company was beaten, the youths gathered together to guess the answer to each other. The British, the French, or themselves? No, there is no enmity among the people, and German lads don't mind flirting with French girls.

Therefore, such a problem is still inseparable from the control of ideology over the people in essence. All the upper classes are constantly "stitching" the distance between the people and the country through various media, and the people and the public (in the film, refer to the brainwashed teachers, parents and students) subtly accept themselves and the country relationship and willing to give his life for it.

However, after experiencing the brutality of the war, the protagonist returned to school, he witnessed the death and maiming of his companions and enemies one by one, all the grand plans and blood on paper in the rear were just death jokes made by the bourgeoisie to them, all the people Covered in lies from the top all the way up.

And this bourgeois lie seems to be intensifying today in another form.

No matter how the future world situation goes, we still hope that we will have a pure land in each other's hearts and store the deepest respect for life.

May the world be at peace.

    80 years ago, it may have been a masterpiece, but watching this kind of film after 80 years is really a kind of torture. . . Technological progress still has an impact on artistic performance
