Butterfly Wings

At the age of sixteen, the most noble meaning of life is to die for the country. We sang all the way forward, but what we never expected to meet was exhaustion, fear, endless nights huddled in the bombing, and the pair that took you two away. of soft leather boots.

It turns out that the tiredness after a full meal, the beautiful girl, the fragrant beer, the oily sausage, and the night intoxicated by the spring breeze are the most vivid meaning of life.

I swore to be the first person to survive in the death chamber, and to gain another legless friend from the day of the death hell triumph.

There are always 16-year-old teenagers in their hometown who are boiling with enthusiasm, and those who sing, who are intense, and who are nostalgic never know what war really means. Where does war come from so many noble and sacred meanings, but it is nothing more than starving to sleep, and occasionally killing people. 4 years later, I was actually stripped from my homeland.

The soldiers of the 2nd Company were brand new sixteen years old again, and Katz was still the feeder who was struggling. He finally became a veteran with rich experience, but there are still many things that cannot be stopped. Why did Kaizi who fainted die? Why did Kaizi die? The war is not over yet. There is no one who knows each other in the world anymore. I don't know how many years of loneliness will spread to this life. But fortunately, in the end, I was chasing the wings of the butterfly, which were not specimens, but the beautiful wings that were still fluttering, and bid farewell to this world splendidly.

It was such a great movie from so long ago. The director is great. It seems that only the music is used at the end, and the record is restrained throughout. All kinds of foreshadowings are also buried just right, wow really, how can the standard be so high almost 100 years ago.

The white wall is slightly flawed because Paul's performance is too embarrassing. It may be that the fresh meat at that time was not very good, and there was always a greasy smile on his face, no matter if he was watching a comrade-in-arms or someone who wanted to play tricks. A long shot of Moog holding his boots after his death made me mistakenly think which pair of boots he wanted... There are also some lines that are too stage-dramatic, but this must be the reason for the change of times. Technological progress has made The current film expression is closer to reality, so I might be a little allergic to lines that have a strong sense of the stage.

As far as the movie itself is concerned, I have no right to talk about the grand proposition of war. Thanks for such a work, such a story is told here. Well, the next 1917!

All Quiet on the Western Front quotes

  • Hair-peak soldier: And manufacturers. They get rich.

    [murmurs of agreement]

    Albert Kropp: I think it's more a kind of fever. Nobody wants it in particular, and then all at once, there it is. We didn't want it. The English didn't want it. And here we are fighting.

  • 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.
