Although this film is a very good anti-war film, it mainly tells the whole story of the broken dream of a group of German youths to serve the country, but the film staff and even the distributor are American and feel that they have to complain. After all, war-themed things are like doing evil. After that, it's the same as going to jail to write an examination, but without reflecting on yourself, you have to beat the inmate's small report without waiting for death. But on second thought, as the superior's audience, when they heard the prisoner's stubborn and indefensible little report, and he hated the iron and steel, he would quietly breathe a sigh of relief, "I caught that bastard Oye again." In contrast, the sixth edition of "Spring and Autumn in Troubled Times" was much more kind. A big bowl of chicken soup was served to the British and did a nice job.
The background of the film takes place before and after the Battle of the Marne. Germany was defeated in 1914 and 1918 respectively. The hero Paul began to join the army and was killed because of this battle. The film owner is against the war, because of multiple cruel threats such as killing, fear, death, pain, physical and mental trauma, etc., people can't help but feel the beauty of life, and use the individual to feel the value of life. Preliminary fraternity consciousness, cast aside national and racial prejudice. Although different cultures have different voices for anti-war, since the emergence of human beings and even life, the war has not stopped, which shows the significance of the existence of war: as small as three-two fights for mating, as large as thousands of people for turf Ten thousand offensive and defensive always stirs the primitive fighting desire in the hearts of all creatures. The film did not introduce the original intention of the war in detail, and the characters in the film also rushed to the battlefield with their heads shaved and stubborn for unknown reasons. On the one hand, they satirized people's vanity, militancy and blind patriotism, and also satirized the justice of war from the side. An indeterminate property of a party.
Paul's mental journey is the most important clue in the whole film. He has changed from a passionate, filial, and high-spirited young man to a soldier who escapes confusion and helplessness in reality. From his heart to death, it also reflects the radical patriotic education in the war. How fragile they are, they are overwhelmed by reality much faster than dodging cannonballs. Like flying balloons, before a dart hits, you will be frightened first.
There are two kinds of roles in war: insiders and outsiders. Insiders are all the characters who participated in the war in person, and outsiders are all the masses who have turned into politicians, strategists, and emotional experts after they have had a meal. There is no distinction between enemy and me. Sometimes it's really hard to say who picks things first. After all, everyone likes to use history that is beneficial to themselves when they are rogues. The insiders are only concerned with their own interests, and what often attracts attention is whether the values and psychological changes inspired by individuals can arouse public approval and reflection. All the young people in the film died in battle. We can't see the sense of honor in them. What they reflect is complete skepticism and hedonism. Lost yourself in roles and personal values. Outsiders are more keen to "guest" heroes in troubled times, and change their tricks to put gold on their faces: either they are talking about analyzing the situation, or they have soldiers at home who shine on the lintel, and very few people really care about those soldiers wholeheartedly. And this feeling comes almost entirely from women. Among the outsiders, especially Paul's teacher: preaching chauvinistic ultra-patriotic ideas. In fact, I think his only purpose has long been stated: to make the whole class volunteer to join the army. The students brought out by him all volunteered to join the army to the teacher's glory, and Paul's father let him put on a military uniform to go shopping and tour after Paul's return - to prove how decent and successful his education is through the sacrifice of his children , add a strange bright color to your failed life, and when you are old, you can also proudly say "my who has done what and what" when recalling the life of nothing. For outsiders, war is always an outsider. As long as it doesn't disturb their material life, everything is just a matter of chatting, but chatting is divided into more or less people who listen loudly and quietly.
What attracts me especially comes from the beauty of photography, from the changing hands of a good pair of boots, to the last hand reaching out to the butterfly, which is a great enjoyment in promoting the plot and setting the atmosphere. There are many close-ups of facial expressions in the film. Although most of the characters acted too hard, the language of the camera lens is quite vivid, and there is a sense of sympathy for the crazy coding of propositions and essays.
