The smog is heavy today. Did not dare to go out. Hiding at home and watching the movie "All Quiet on the Western Front". In 1928, the sound film was born. The film was made in 1930 and won the Oscar for best picture and best director that year. It is said to have been the most repeatedly watched of the early sound films.
Such anti-war movies seem out of place in an era when there are so many voices for "fight early, fight hard". Since the Guo family is an "imaginary community", some concepts related to it are probably not far from imagination. "Imagination and misreading", "legends and lies", it is necessary to go deeper.
"The rivers of Germany will not take the initiative to attack the mountains and rivers of France. The peoples of Germany, France and Russia are forced to hate each other, and the brightest minds in the world are creating public opinion to make it all last longer. Every great yellow Brothers need a war." - Remarkably well said.
I am often asked to make lists of books for the children. I usually answer: "There is no need to list any books. In any bookstore, there is a "world famous" bookshelf. Any book on it can be opened and read by children." Those books are a collection of the best stories and experiences of human beings. After a long period of time, it has been recognized by all ethnic groups. To put it bluntly, Arabian Nights is from Persia, but the Japanese are reading it, the British are reading it, the Swedes are reading it, and the Chinese are reading it. Among these world famous books, "All Quiet on the Western Front" is definitely one of the most well-deserved books. I have read it since middle school and have never forgotten it.
