After watching "All Quiet on the Western Front": My favorite of the three I've watched so far. Paul and his friends are encouraged by their teachers to join the army, only to find that the war is not what they imagined. They have to worry about death all the time, how can they think about the responsibility of protecting the family and the country, and they only hope that they can come back alive on the front line and have a bad meal. Paul watched his friends die one by one on the battlefield and in the ambulance station, but there was nothing he could do. Like Kat said, "sometimes i'm gonna take one of you volunteers apart and find out what makes you leave school and join the army ." Can it be the fault of this group of kids? They were just carried away by heroism. Could it be the teacher's fault? No, because there are so many people like the teacher who have never participated in the war or went to the front line to experience it, so it is a matter of course that the soldiers eat the best food, so they can talk about soldiers on paper and talk nonsense, so they can inspire 16,7 The year-old went to the battlefield to die in the name of defending his family and the country... Paul, who had been struggling on the battlefield for three years, returned home and found that everything had changed. Mom still treats him as a child, but he knows not. He was angry when he heard that the teacher encouraged the children irresponsibly again. He wanted to tell these hot-headed children the cruelty of the war, but was accused of being a "coward"! In the end, it was still back to 2 even. I have to say that I really like the role of kat. He is uninhibited and optimistic, and he is not forgiving, but he spares no effort to protect this group of cubs, especially Paul. It's no wonder that in the end Paul would say "he's the only one left". The relationship between these two people is touching, and therefore, watching the last part of Paul carrying Kat back is particularly sad. War is ruthless...

The movie is a good movie, but its truth should only make sense for certain countries. For other countries, I think the angle this movie wants to express is a bit narrow after all.

-
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.

[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.
