It was only in literature class that I learned that the author of the original work was Em Remarque. I have heard of this novel for a long time, and only now I am willing to learn about it.
Anti-war films are not uncommon in a reflective day. I thought that Clint Eastwood's two works in response to World War II, "The Flag of the Fathers" and "Battle of Iwo Jima", looked at the same war from the most different perspectives of the warring parties. The narrative method has already completely discussed the war and human beings, but I have seen the United States in the 1970s. Only after remaking German novels in the 1930s did I discover that the original philology was the vanguard of reflection.
Putting aside the pure art of film, talk about what's behind the film. I think the German discussion of rationality and irrationality is at its peak. War is irrational because it is the product of a fanatical national belief that has been inspired; war is rational because it is waged by specific groups of people for specific interests. Just like our protagonist, the human nature displayed has a duality: to kill the Frenchman so that he will not die, but after listening to the moaning of the dying printer all night, he takes the initiative to heal his wounds. The line between rationality and irrationality is blurred here. Why are we fighting? No one can tell.
Under the huge state apparatus, it is normal for individuals to be ignored, but it is by no means correct, and behaviors that do not respect human nature will eventually be overwhelmed by human nature. This is the direction of history and the direction of human self-examination.
We are clamoring for theoretical innovation and institutional innovation, but we don’t know that these things are based on human nature. Without the persistence of human nature, all ideas are empty talk.
Tribute to German thinkers!
Including Marx, although in some countries you have been tarnished to the core.
