The doubts of the common people come: what is war? Why fight? Why do the leaders of the two countries not only solve the problem one-on-one, but endanger us? Why should the affairs of the two countries involve our common people? From the perspective of a few young people, from being ignorant and ignorant (after being brainwashed) to being awakened and growing up by cruel reality after the battlefield (irritating the atmosphere and bureaucracy in Germany at that time, if you say fooling, the Germans can be regarded as the originator ) The people who eat melons have not experienced war, but they talk about soldiers on paper, and stand and talk without back pain! In that era, such a deep anti-war movie was made. I really admire it. The most unforgettable scene for me is a scene where Paul and the enemy are together. The last scene is too profound. The war of the country , It is not personal wish, leaders are terrible murderers! I would rather live in front of a real war than in a peaceful world of lies.

    The horizontal shot of the film is very classic, and the story to be told in the film is also sobering. The ignorant people responded to the government's call to actively participate in the war, but only the soldiers who have been to the battlefield know how cruel the war is. When they come back and tell the war No one believed them all the time, only in the end they returned to the most noisy place on the battlefield, but it was the most innocent place, how ironic this is.

    "All Quiet on the Western Front" is not only a milestone in film history because of its earliest use of mixed recordings, but also the anti-war spirit it contains is still shining brightly today. The experiences of several German soldiers, propaganda under the slogan of "patriotism", the transformation of the protagonist's thinking, give a real insight into the patriotic heroism of fans for their own interests.

All Quiet on the Western Front quotes

  • 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: [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.
