Very classic, it is considered as the pioneering work of anti-war films in film history. It is an honor in film history to release such a great work in the 1930s. Many of these shots can be famous in film history and are classics that are difficult to replicate. The film was considered a commercial film of that era, and the greatest credit should be attributed to the director's profound understanding of the war and his successful expression in film art.

The film mainly expresses the cruelty of war. People who have never been on the battlefield will never understand the cruelty of war. If they have not experienced the pain of others, they should not criticize others casually. The psychological pain that war brings to soldiers is other What people can't understand, I hope people who have seen this movie can sympathize with those who died innocently in the war

    133 minute edition. As far as a 30-year-old sound film is concerned, the camera is very well used, with smooth moving shots (looking down on the trenches), slightly expressive backlit shots of soldiers charging, grayscale control, and the use of smoke, all at that time. It is a first-class battlefield performance method. The script as a whole seems to be procrastinating, and the anti-war stance is based on people's instinctive fear of pain and death, which is too in-depth. In the end, he died of catching the butterfly. Did the butterfly mess with you? The result of keeping you alive is that you can still kill butterflies? You deserve it, I can only say

    On July 10th, station B showed this movie. When I watched it on July 13th, one of the few barrages said, "This is how training is required to survive on the battlefield." When the first person, Bane, died At that time, the barrage said, "He alone can kill a group of people", "It's normal for people to die in war." At the end of the film, there are still many barrages saying: "Protect the family and the country, sacrifice oneself for others", um. . . . I think, here, I give the young people a sentence in the original text - "Two people were blown to pieces, and even Chadden thought they could be scraped off the wall of the trench with a spoon and buried in a lunch box. ."

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.
