"All Quiet on the Western Front" was a bit hard to watch, it was a pure war movie, and it was filmed very early (1930), the kind of very positive preaching and satire, maybe in that era of war frenzy (two wars) between) will have a very good effect, but it may not resonate with people today, and there may even be some resistance.

It has a strong sense of paragraphs, and a play probably has a central idea that educates you. Interestingly, "Billy Lynn's Intermission" by Ang Lee, like "All Quiet on the Western Front", cannot be understood by people who have been on the battlefield after returning to their normal lives, and at the same time they can't stand those The hypocritical ignorance and lies of the war fanatics, and finally chose to return to the battlefield.

The end result is still quite powerful. The protagonist carried his wounded comrade-in-arms behind his back, chatted with him while walking, and said that he would exchange addresses with him, so that they could play together again after the war. At that time he didn't know that the man on his shoulder was dead.

In the end, he was also shot to death for catching a butterfly.
