The best war movies of all time

This is an anti-war film that I will show my children in the future. There are many things I want to say to him that are inappropriate, and I can feel them in the film. Released in the 1930s and filmed in the 1920s, this film not long after the end of the First World War proved that human beings in later generations. Human beings in any era simply cannot learn from the experience and lessons of history. Generations of people are born, grow and grow old, but history keeps repeating itself. The same hot-blooded youth, the same ambitious ruler. What amazes me is that the films from more than 80 years ago are of such a high standard, both technically and artistically, they amaze me, and let me watch them, and now I can watch them. There are very few movies. There is one thing I don't understand very much. In the end, the male protagonist Paul clearly painted a bird, was shot, and did not say that he was dead. This is also an open ending of an old version. But why did the film critics say that he was catching a butterfly and was shot to death by a cold gun? Is it written like this in the novel, is it a novel or a movie you have seen? Makes me wonder. In short, a classic is a classic, and it can be placed in any era.

    Look at the restored version, the picture quality is very good. As a film from the 1930s, its understanding of war goes far beyond that era. "There are no lies on the battlefield" is the truest summary of all wars. The anti-war thoughts conveyed in the film are profound and profound and have great significance. At the same time, the movie's restoration of the battlefield and the description of the characters are also very good.

    Remember that the more provocative, the more nonsense, remember not to fight with old friends, remember not to be distracted, do not wear other people’s broken shoes, and do not catch butterflies in a war... The structure is too loose, the connection is very abrupt, but almost later generations It is difficult for all anti-war films to break through the things covered in this film~

All Quiet on the Western Front quotes

  • Paul Bäumer: You still think it's beautiful to die for your country. The first bombardment taught us better. When it comes to dying for country, it's better not to die at all.

  • 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.
