All Quiet on the Western Front

9/10

All Quiet on the Western Front is a dark, gritty, and depressing look at what the effects of war and propaganda have on the soldiers who enlist. Our main characters enter the front all bright eyed and bushy tailed excited to fight for Germany, mainly due to them being naive about what war is truly like. That optimism is soon destroyed in the first minutes of reaching the battlefields as they ar...

The movie follows a young German soldier, Paul, who goes from eager and full of hope to completely changed by the horrors he faces on the battlefield. It’s heavy, and it doesn’t shy away from showing just how brutal trench warfare was. One thing that really hit me was how the ...

<em>'All Quiet on the Western Front'</em> is a hauntingly brilliant epic anti-war picture. The only things I knew coming into watching it (aside from the obvious) is that it won many awards, particularly for its sound and visuals - both of which are indeed of very high quality. There aren't many noteworthy criticisms I can really level at this movie, that's not to say it's absolutely perfect of...
