All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) Reaction/Commentary

Hey All! Well what can I say, this was one of the most epic war films I have seen. Bleak, but that is exactly the point. As a veteran, I count myself lucky I never had to endure what these men on either side did.
This is my 2nd time uploading this one, as the first video was taken down. I've edited it to be more restrictive on the visual portions of the film (not by choice).

As a combat veteran myself and as my grandfather who fought on the eastern front and Stalingrad once said "once the fight starts and the bullets fly all around you, you will find that all the speeches you heard and the ideals that wee instilled into you are worth nothing all that matters is your life and those of your kameraden (your Brothers next to you.) " . When asked him what the war was like the only thing he said was " unless you have lived through it and experienced it yourself there is no point telling you because you just won't understand. " and for both that is so true. I realized that myself when i first entered service in 1985 when i was called up (drafted) into the South African special forces, (My parents came to South Africa when i was 5 in 1973.) I fought in the Angolan Border war, then only did i understand what my grandfather meant after experiencing the reality of war.

It's crazy what these insane politicians and elites made us do to each other and they still get away with it to this day Smh.

Hi Mike. First timer to your channel and as a veteran myself I am glad I got to see this video of a veteran's reaction. Thank you for your service and stay safe.

I'm wondering... I watched some reactions to this movie... And every time while we see the tank scene every reactor seems to forget that tanks first appeared in the WW1 🤔 those soldiers never before even knew such a thing like tanks... "Must be like some ancient tanks" YES yes ofc the first tanks... I didn't say this to be mean but it bothers me 😅

This movie is a pain to watch, not because of the content but becasue its filled with inaccuracies and exaggerations on an unforgivable level

[@richieb3356]

Imagine getting a kill with a goddam E-tool, wild.

[@robbybuentello]

Good reaction, you made this in a way that is easy to follow the story

[@Kharn526]

Those tanks are only about 90 horsepower how about that

[@geofftottenperthcoys9944]

Brutal movie, but so well remade.

[@StefanBuscheZUKUL]

I highly recommend Das Boot - Directors Cut and Under Sandet - Land of mine

Hi Mike. I am a 55 years old German, and I saw all three versions of this book. This one stunned me, even if a key scene was missing here: In the original, Paul passes by his old university during a furlough and sees the teachers through the window as they try to seduce the next generation into this madness with the same words. And he intervenes and questions everything. Thank you for your video.

Great work! Thank you very much you watched it in German!❤

[@MrHucast]

It actually was mostly french, english and american troops who attacked german trenches in the last hours of war to kill as many germans as they could. Also there are only 14 reported executions of deserteurs in the german army during WWI. The last scene of this movie is quite inaccurate on those terms and it's a shame they went the 'hollywood'-style in the end while the rest of the movie is so moving.
