During the First World War, the German government used beautiful slogans to call on young and enthusiastic student volunteers to join the battlefield to defend their homeland. Paul and his classmates were instigated by the teacher’s chauvinistic ideas to devote themselves to the world with heroic ideals. During the war, these young people had idealized life and war. After training, these young "baby soldiers" were sent to participate in the war on the Western Front. However, the naive dream was shattered, and they soon found themselves involved in a protracted, cruel war. The earth became gloomy and terrifying, and many people were crying, struggling, calling, trying to be free from the threat of death, but they could only fall weakly. The protagonist Paul began to doubt the ideals of the past. The cruelty and destructiveness of war completely shattered his heroism. His heart changed and he began to doubt, hate and even hate war. Finally one day, Paul crawled out of the trenches to catch butterflies, but was shot and killed by a cold gun. However, compared with war, an individual’s life is insignificant. In the report of the Front Line Command that day, it was written: All Quiet on the Western Front

The last butterfly is the only hope and vitality left in the cold-blooded battlefield, but the war does not allow the participants to have it. The black and white pictures show the cruelty and blood of war more calmly and bluntly. The horror of war is not the devouring of life, but the squandering of youth without knowing it. The moment of awakening is the end of life. It is a pity and a pity!

Their souls have returned to a foreign land, and their bodies are wrapped in horse leather. They are nothing more than pawns of high-level politicians, and they are the talk of dreams by the idiots in the rear. Serving the country is false, only death is true. Every single scene is very good, but it is a bit messy when cut together. The ending is the best, the butterfly stops and a gunshot rings out, and all the souls look back on the cross in the mass grave.
All Quiet on the Western Front quotes
-
Ginger - the Cook: [looking at soldiers lined up to eat] What do you want?
Katczinsky: Beans, you homely-looking son of a frog's leg! What do you think I want?
Ginger - the Cook: [the men shout that they're hungry] Shut up! I'll feed you when you're all here.
Tjaden: We're all here now!
Ginger - the Cook: Only half the company's here. Get the rest! Wake 'em up!
Katczinsky: [the men laugh] I wish I could wake 'em up. There's 80 of us left. The rest is in dressin' stations or pushin' up daisies!
Ginger - the Cook: [shocked] 80? And I cooked for 150!
Westhus: All right, we'll have enough for once. Come on, dish out!
Tjaden: You mean you've cooked beans for 150?
[the cook nods]
Tjaden: And you've got bread for 150 and sausage for 150 and tobacco for 150?
Ginger - the Cook: Everything. It's all wrong. I should have been notified!
Katczinsky: What a feast! Everyone gets two issues!
[the waiting men shout]
Katczinsky: [trying to keep order in the ranks] Get back in line! Get back in line!
Ginger - the Cook: Oh, no, that woun't do. I can't give 80 men what's meant for 150.
Katczinsky: [he starts to punch the cook but thinks better of it and tries to be persuasive] Listen, you drew rations for the Second Company, didn't yuh?
Ginger - the Cook: Yes.
Katczinsky: All right, we're the Second Company!
[the men shout]
Ginger - the Cook: I got my orders.
Albert Kropp: [agreeing with Kat] That's right.
Paul Bäumer: We're the Second Company and if only half of us get back, that's our good luck. Come on, dish it out!
Ginger - the Cook: [the men shout] No!
Katczinsky: [grabbing the cook by the throat] You're the yellowest baboon that ever drew a cook wagon, and you're scared, and it shows! All we want to hear out of you is one more little yip, and we'll cut yuh up and eat you raw! Why, you keep your kitchen so far back of the lines, we never get anything to eat until it's cold and we're asleep. Now, you low doen rat, get out, or we wreck the joint, so help me!
[the men shout]
Katczinsky: Come on, give us some food!
-
Tjaden: There used to be some food in the sawdust. Now it's all sawdust.
