Fight for yourself? Fight for the country? Fight for Earth? lie?

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.

    Classic anti-war movie. There are many shots from inside to outside the house in the first half. Once the characters in the second half are created, the focus will shift to personal emotions, which makes everything around become a personal psychological activity. It’s still very meaningful. In fact, for war movies, if it is grasped from the opposite side of war, it will not meet the expectations of many people who have not released the violence, so this will not prevent World War II.

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.
