content retelling

The film tells the story of the German army during World War I. Under the teacher's instigation, all the boys in a class turned to the army, the classroom was thrown into a mess, and everyone fantasized about fame and honor. But on the battlefield, I found out that it was really cruel. Poul’s classmates and comrades in arms fell one by one, and he slowly began to hate war, but when he returned to his hometown, the teacher was still encouraging batch after batch of young people to go to the battlefield. It was just dust in history. Eventually Poul got up in the trenches to catch butterflies, but was also killed by snipers.

experience

Overall there is no empathy for the war, probably because of the Germans. But I can deeply appreciate the cruelty of war, and black and white films can also see the blood of war, which is very depressing after watching it. The most interesting part is the part where everyone talks about how the world war started after the first war. This is not a war between you and me, or even the Kaiser, nor is it a conflict between mountains and plains, so why did this war happen? Woolen cloth? - Insiders don't know, outsiders don't know either.

    I seem to have seen it when I was a child, I just remember the last guy looking at the beautiful sky and then being sniped to death

    Adapted from the novel of the same name, the film is a war film with strong anti-war thoughts. The choreography and directing techniques are delicate and smooth, and pioneered the use of elevators to shoot large scenes and mixed recording of dialogue, sound and soundtrack. At the end of the film, catching a butterfly and being hit by a bullet has become a classic scene in film history. The film also won two Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director.

All Quiet on the Western Front quotes

  • Katczinsky: I'll tell you how it should all be done.

    [spits]

    Katczinsky: Whenever there's a big war comin' on, you should rope off a big field...

    Cigar-smoking soldier: And sell tickets.

    Katczinsky: Yeah. And -

    [glares at interrupter]

    Katczinsky: And on the big day, you should take all the kings and their cabinets and their generals, put 'em in the center dressed in their underpants, and let 'em fight it out with clubs. The best country wins.

    [everybody murmurs in agreement]

    Paul Bäumer: Well, now that Kat's settled everything, let's go see Kemmerick.

  • Paul Bäumer: We live in the trenches out there. We fight. We try not to be killed, but sometimes we are. That's all.
