Another war film from a German perspective is "Das Boot" from 1981, (the directors cut, with subtitles), for many the submarine film of all and one of the best anti-war films of all time. Greetings from Germany
Greeting from Texas. I have heard of Das Boot, but have not seen it. I will keep an eye out for it, because we are definitely interested in movies like this with the right message. Thanks for the recommendation!
@@CocktailFlicksWolfgang Petersen, the German director, and Jürgen Prochnow, the lead actor of “Das Boot,” went on to pursue careers in Hollywood. Truly a masterpiece.🤯
great reaction guys -what a masterpiece - Edward Berger has conquered the last bastion for Germany in the US, this epic movie earns as many Oscars (4 in 2023) as all German films in the last 60 years together ‼Finally arrived on the throne of the film world in Hollywood. What a glory night - I'm proud of Erich Maria Remarque and Edward Berger and Malte Grunert historical legacy for us Germans. 🎥🔥💪
Thank you very much. So this movie really took off, and became a hit with the Oscars huh? That's great, they definitely deserved it. This was a very well made film, and deserved it's accolades. I'm happy this brought a lot of pride to the German Cinema Scene. Thank you for stopping by. Greeting from Texas!
44:45 to be fair they didnt try to make the french look like the bad people. The whole storyline based on Paul is basically fiction based on a random soldier that remarque wrote back then. The Netflix production took creative freedom and put this armistice discussion in there which is actually pretty much how it played out back then and less fictional. The treaty was basically negotiated in a train car between Ferdinand Foch (the french guy) and Mathias Erzberger (the german guy). Erzberger was really pushing the war to end as soon as possible, as he was quite catholic, anti war and a member of the social democrat party. The treaty was kinda unrealistic in general. Like they wanted germany to surrender more submarines than they actually had.
👍🇩🇪 Meine Empfehlung von Filmen aus Deutschland: "Das Boot" (1981/ - Cinema-Version - Anti-Kriegsfilm), "Die Brücke" (1959/Anti-Kriegsfilm), "Die Welle" (2008/Drama), "Der bewegte Mann" (1994/Komödie), "Wie die Karnickel" (2002/Komödie), "Der Wixxer" (2004/Teil1/Komödie). Watch and react. 😊
Fun biology fact: when you go long enough without eating properly. Your brain starts releasing chemicals like serotonin as a survival mechanism, making just about anything you eat taste like a 5 star meal. So, those raw eggs might as well been fresh pudding to Kat and Paul.
the one thing that annoys me in this movie is skipping the boot camp they did; it makes it look like they went straight from getting their gear. I mean, the book clearly showed they did training before heading to the front!
plus it got less and less accurate the longer they used it and hence the risk of friendly fire got bigger and bigger. ernst jünger (author of "storm of steel" - the other big WW1-novel) talked about that.
@@darcave7986 The conditions weren't hard at all, look at the conditions after WW2 they were WORSE, the country was divided into pieces "owned"/controlled by multiple countries, it was the center of the cold war, the eastern part was dirt poor with harsher conditions on the population. It goest either way : they try to push harder conditions and force the country into changing their mindest OR they do nothing harsh and risk wars again in a few decades because the german population / government would want Alsace - Lorraine back. People always like to say it was too harsh, yeah right.. That's why the country was able to became even more powerful so quickly lmao.
german ex soldier here, 14:56 you said like, what a horrible is this... is another war less horrible? ( ..btw i pray for the brave ukrainian soldiers and their families, some of whom are being bombed and killed with cruise missiles in their homeland. btw ... Suspension of compulsory military service decided on March 24, 2011.. by law! since then only german soldiers like in a normal job (
I would imagine that all wars are equally horrible. This particular war had millions of soldiers bogged down in trench warfare, which lead to an unnecessary loss of life, and in return, little to nothing was gained. I do understand that all wars cost the lives of many good people, but for this movie, I reacted to the moment the way I did. I'm glad to hear that Compulsory military service was suspended. Hopefully for good. Our hearts go out to the brave soldiers as well. Thank you for your service, and for sharing your thoughts with us!
sry to tell artylery is used always before attack all that smoke is from arty, both sides where bombarding each other to oblivion, in both sides german and french arty was used daily non stop, you miss fact its ww1 they are equiped as they should, beyonets rifles ammo, both sides had same stuff, you miss fact 250 000 is nothing in ww1, they perished same as in video front was not moving anywhere. evryone in that war was meat basically, some americans landed and it was daily people from other countries joined and never came beck from same field there was no mans land front was not moving anywhere, war ended cause both where dead basically, french did not won, nobody would wiped anything as front was never moved for all war, iun france where same as in germany endless death
Frankly , this movie is AWFUL either representing the book or the Great War , sucking at historical accuracy or source material accuracy . Funnily enough , a lot of German Veterans boycotted the book , hating its message .
The movie was inspired by the book, not an adaptation of it. The director said if you want to watch an adaptation of the book go watch one of the older All Quiet on the Western Front movies. Also, a lot of Germans hated it, particularly Hitler and the Nazis because it was and is an anti war book.
Great reaction guys! I watched this with my dad and we we both felt so shocked at the end with the last battle. Paul was so close to going home 😢.
That last battle was shocking for all the wrong reasons. A lot of needless loss of life. Thanks for stopping by, always good to hear from you!
In a way, sometimes World War II is referred to as an extension of World War I. It’s like they only took a break to re-populate for a while.
That's so true. Not only to repopulate, but to upgrade the weaponry as well, and bring in some new and effective tactics. Thanks for stopping by!
Treaty of Versailles 🤔🤷♂️
A French diplomat Foch, even said “ This is not peace, it’s a 20 year armistice” after signing the peace treaty of Versailles.

The navy part was negotiated by the british not french.
Would love to see a reaction to "Das Boot" from you guys.
Another masterpice showing the German side of war.
Ok, We will find a time to watch it. Thanks for the recommendation!
Really enjoyed this intelligent reaction, especially glad you watched it in original German, keep it up lads.
if you know any history you know in trench combat is the most brutal it can get

You guys ever watched the 1979 version?
I love that version so much! It does amazing in getting us bonded with the characters, and the story!!

I remember Boot Camp in the movie from the 70's, and it was an important part as I remember too. I would have liked to see that as well!
The artillery was often a long way behind the lines. Communication was difficult and calling in a barrage could take ages.
plus it got less and less accurate the longer they used it and hence the risk of friendly fire got bigger and bigger. ernst jünger (author of "storm of steel" - the other big WW1-novel) talked about that.
And we also know how their ultra hard conditions turned out for the french later...
the conditions werent hard

A little known fact Adolf Hitler was in the trenches from October 1914 to October 1918, and you wonder why he ended up the way he ended up?
