If there were laws that a soldier's minimum age will be 30 years old and have had a previous minimum net income of $100K/yr. ...there would be no war....nobody to fight it.
@@bbranett2188 Biden/Zelensky...murderers.
I'm French, but I always said that the Germans need more movies about the war too. Everyone suffered and deserves recognition
pareil
I liked fly boys because I love Jean Reno 😂 but yes I do like films like Der rote Baron Das boot all quit on the western front. Generation war. Stalingrad 1993. America needs to stop overshadowing ww2 and stop saying they are the reason for all success in the world. Fk off. 😂 Hence why I love Europeans and British More.
In Germany, soldiers from the past did not receive any honors or even names after the fact. Especially not from WWII, since they were all fascists and Nazis. Everything is prevented from young people from taking something like this as a role model. Politicians are paying very close attention to this.
War films are reviewed and evaluated very critically in Germany. Even All Quiet on the Western Front has been titled as the worst war movie of all time by some film critics.
However, I find it outstanding and absolutely worth seeing. Even if it's hard to bear.
It's hardly 'dying to defend' when you are on the offense... 🙄
@@miramoche8901Don't talk. Die for your country. Have fun.
World War 1 was probably the most depressing war to fight in. Being stuck in trenches for months, thousands dying for just yards and losing gained ground from counterattacks,and fighting and dying on mud.
That was not my grandfather's experience. He fought through the wheat fields of northeastern France in 1918 in the Allied counteroffensive almost constantly on the move.
World War 2 is worse because you scared as soldier and as civil people
@@tomas2818 no
@@SpaceTravel1776 yeah 1914 and 1918 were very different from the 1915-1917 grind
Don't forget the mustard gas and other chemical weapons and the deadly deasses like cholera.
All Quiet on the Western Front is one of the most incredible, depressing, thought-provoking WW1 movies I’ve ever watched. It perfectly captures the senselessness and tragedy of war. The film doesn’t romanticise the battles. It is honest in its portrayal. Both sides are depicted as possessing brutality and humanity because that was the reality of the war. Young men were sent into a meat grinder by their superiors for a few kilometres of farmland, their innocence stolen. If you haven’t already, please find the time to watch this masterpiece.
Movie is trash.
and biden/nuland/vanderleyen want this for you and your sons.......... lol
@@theroldan8675 facts. while the diapered disaster can’t even walk up stairs.
@@Ahahahhaaahyour moms Pusey was 😂
@@theroldan8675 This is by far the dumbest comment I've seen today. The movie is a human reiteration on world war 1 from 1917. the only political meaning behind this is to deviate all ages from war by showing its honest, brutal truth.
I'm so glad this film is in german and German films are getting more recognition. It scared more to the core and made me appreciate what and all I have. I don't need to risk my life. I can be free.
we abuot to get into ww3 real soon, thats why all these war films are coming out
@@ChieftainHawke you think so? I don't understand could you please explain more?
I love that this story is told from the German pov. They were also young boys sent to fight without knowing the hell they were being sent into
They have literally invaded sovereign countries.
Alas children are often used as cannon fodder.
It’s not just the German POV. It’s the human POV.
The book is pretty much an autobiography of the author's experience on the western front, just with some names changed. So of course it would be from the German point of view, it was a German who wrote it.
@@edelgyn2699 well, not just that. From an Australian perspective, we had just become 'Federated' (not independent though) and the men of Australia were so excited about going overseas on an "adventure", not really understanding what war really was. So much so that despite the enlistment age being 16, many young boys as young as 12 actually lied about their age & disappeared from home only to be writing to their families on the front lines. They freely went themselves. We now call them 'the lost generation'. as those poor boys who did survive came home utterly broken.
Published in 1928, the book was an immediate global bestseller, translated into 28 languages. Almost every WW1 veteran read the book and everyone knew that this was his story, regardless of whether he was German, British, French, American or Russian.
It's an absolute must read for anyone remotely interested in WW1 history and literature.
And one of the books burned by the Nazis
@@alexh8388 Which book ? The name plz.
The name of the movie is name of the book too👍
funny how you include the Americans. the ottomans and bulgarians had more participation than the americans did in world war one.
@@lxDastanxl The Nazis absolutely did burn this book and branded Remarque as a coward who they felt sapped the German war spirit needed for the coming conflict.
This deserves to win the Oscar for Best Picture. Only if you show the real horrors of war, you can convince people that peace is always better. So don't be depressed after watching this movie, since you know the more people watch this movie, the more peace supporters will be in this world. We are all human beings, no matter where we come from. We should not have war between us, because we are all the same. Human beings.

This has to be the Greatest war film of all times..
This tells that there are no heroes but only victims in war..
Heart wrenching.
What an experience this was!
The scenes of the bloodied uniforms being laundered then sewn rang hauntingly true. It feels like you are literally sent back in time.
I think it's a sequence of the type of "the ordinary day", I found it effective at setting the bar for later scenes, one when the protagonist is handed the uniform, and later after the barrage when he gets told "everyday is the same" or something like that
That feels normal to me.
As a dressmaker that loves history I love that the girl knew how to actually work the machine. Not at all am important detail in the overall movie but I appreciated it
I haven't been this excited about a Netflix original in a long time. All Quiet on the Western Front is one of my all-time favorite novels, I re-read it every year or two. Beautifully haunting.
@John I meant beautiful in the sense that the ability of the author to accurately capture the horror of WWI and the loss that the young soldiers felt not only in terms of losing friends but also in the ability to live a normal life since many joined before they establish a family, a career, or roots to come back to. "The war has ruined us for everything. He is right. We are not youth any longer. We don’t want to take the world by storm. We are fleeing. We fly from ourselves. From our life. We were eighteen and had begun to love life and the world; and we had to shoot it to pieces. The first bomb, the first explosion, burst in our hearts. We are cut off from activity, from striving, from progress. We believe in such things no longer..." So while the subject matter is haunting, the author's writing style captured that horror in a beautiful way.
Except its a remake.
The original came out in the 1930's and used real german veterans as background actors.
Hey good thing it's not an original, words have meaning.
It is an amazing book, one of my favourite written ever. If it's well done I can see this film being an all time favourite.
@@durnaxe8708 You're right, I meant to say a Netflix film, not original.
Just finished this movie a few minutes ago. This is probably one of the most gut-wrenching and heartbreaking films I have ever viewed in my entire life. Bravo to the actors, they did an amazing job and I truly felt ever string of pain and emptiness they portrayed. This was such a depressing movie, I’m not sure I can watch anything like it ever again.
Masterpiece is one of the two words that come out to me. The other one is speechless. Not that we have nothing to say about it. This movie is as good and powerfull as it also is shocking and depressing. One of the best I have ever seen. Any war is useless unless you fight for freedom.
"Any war is useless unless you fight for freedom." the problem is that this sentence can mean anything, can justify any war, some people think they fight in a good war, some other no, and what is freedom? Like what war was useful ?
No we should think of why did those wars happens, what triggered them, what did they do, who wanted those wars
If there is a war in your country, what would you do today? Fight? run?
@@Dhieen You are right on your thoughts and I agree with you. But... Freedom is the right to speak, the right to move, its when you have no fear, but you have to respect the freedom of the one by your side. Is the right to love any god or none, to be white, brown, yellow or black. The right to be Hetero, homo, bi or whatever. The right to be comunist, liberal or capitalist. Freedom brings responsabiltiy. If we dont have these rights, what do we have?
Pretty sure every war is a fight for freedom as one side will be looking to fend off the territorial aggression of the invader. “Fighting for freedom” is really just a narrative.😂😂
@@randomcon123 Cant agree with you for obvious reasons... Freedom starts on human rights. If you have it, you are probably a free person. If you dont have it, you might be seen as a animal or a slave or something that can be wasted just because... For me, its simple as that.
@@ebalona yes, freedom itself is a intrinsec good, but "to fight for freedom" is almost always your country telling you how the enemy is a threat to your freedom, while they are told the same about you
In a world of endless re-makes and re-imagined films, this film above others needs to be re-told for every generation.
So true, war is Hell
@@DanielGervais
My brother was a door gunner in Vietnam. He faced the Viet Cong storming the fences at Da Nang airfield during the Tet Offensive. He was wounded twice and received two Bronze Stars and two Purple Hearts. Afterward, while in the hospital. a request came for any ambulatory patients to help with clean up at the Catholic orphanage. He had helped the nuns and played with the children during his free time. He loved little kids. He was six foot five and had a goofy smile. The kids called him Người khổng lồ vui tính (The funny giant).
He thought he was going to help clean up wreckage and assist the nuns. When the Deuce and a Half pulled up to the scene, Danny was handed body bags. For the next day, he gathered pieces of the children and nuns. The dead were placed in body bags and then buried en masse in the Catholic Cemetary.
After his two tours in Vietnam, he returned to us. Once while we were watching a movie one of the characters said; "War is hell." Danny got up with tears in his eyes and as he left the room he said in an emotional voice said: "I prefer hell!"
For almost five decades, the faces of the dead haunted his dreams.
My brother was euthanized by the VA in 2017 after fracturing a femur while under their "care."
Yeah this least dosent feel forced or cashcrab movie for long time
that's what they want you to believe
@Normal Guy 2022 Storm of Steel has no message and, frankly, had to be revised multiple times to tone down Jünger’s boldfaced nationalism in the face of any reason or critical thought. He was a good soldier, but not one with much of a conscience. We don’t need stories like his. They don’t do us any good. We need the ones that remind us why war is waste. Not a teenage boy’s idea of “valor” without agency, which Jünger never seemed to grow past.
Bravery without agency just makes you a sword for other men to wield and dispose of, and usually evil ones.
This is easily the best thing Netflix has ever produced. One of the most haunting movies I've ever seen. Just unbelievable.
That's not saying much.
@@truereaper4572 have you watched the movie?
and disturbing when you realize that one day maybe that will be us

Agreed.
Despite how advanced a history class may be, nothing compares to these cinematography skills which portray World War I in the most easy to understand and immersive way ever. Props to them!
This should win the Oscar for Best Cinematography!
So immersive, overwhelming.
Reality of War -- on your face.
Applause to the makers. 👏👏👏
And it did!
I watched this movie in one go. I didn’t allow myself to feel any outward emotions till it was over. I sat in my living room for about 1 hour just thinking about the movie, life, the lives of them and the soldiers that died. I also thought about what they would want me to do with my life to maybe have some closure.
I decided to ask my friend to grab dinner. We must cherish the people in our lives while we can. Great movie. One of the best I have seen.
It means you are a great man. Yeah we are all standing on the shoulders of giants.
same my depression was wiped away
You seem like a great human being
Yes I had a similar reaction after turning it off. Just kind of sat there in the dark for a few minutes and paid attention to my world. Amazing flick. Very powerful.
Must read the book
EM Remarque
*I'm glad WWI is getting more and more recognition, especially showing the German perspective, both sides suffered the brutality of trench warfare, both of them were young adults that witnessed hell!!*
Sure people blame german due to 2nd world war image forgetting French cooked it up with astonishingly harsh & humiliating terms of the "traité de Versailles" (and yeap i'm French).
1st world war was a "battle of ego", & over pushed patriotism, fear (England feared what Germany could become), revenge (for the French who take the chance to take Alsace & Loraine back...)
None of those have anything to do with the starting point of the war.
To me WWI is what war is. For in war there is no victors, only dead and survivors, the rest is propaganda.
What come out victorious in wars is ideas... and most of the time not the one you wish to promote, and a lot of them are like snakes in your boots.
@@sortilien2099 most of the blame actually falls on the countries that escalated the Balkan Crisis. (Austria Hungary and Russia).

i had tears in my eyes during the whole movie duration. Had to think off my Great Grandfather, who somehow survived 3 years on the western front. As a Grenadier.
Congrats to all involved with the making of this film. And congrats to you, the majority of the commenters, who overwhelmingly agreed that war is awful, that there aren't winners, that the young are often exploited by the governments who have an agenda and that we need peace. This movie is perhaps the most brutal movie I have ever seen. I felt gut punched and my eyes hurt from tears, connecting with the fallen youth of the enemy. It didn't win the big prize tonight but it got its recognition. One of the most important movies I've ever seen. Thank you to all who made this happen ...filmmakers, please continue to make important works like this for real world change.
Just finished this movie. I'm going to say it. Credit where credit is due Netflix. This is one of the best and most realistic modern war movie I have ever seen. It even rivales the likes of Saving Private Ryan in my opinion. Seeing the war from the German pov was such a good breath of fresh air. This movie is a modern masterpiece
It's better
Because you're mentioning Saving Private Ryan, I want to recommend watching Come and See (1985) by Elem Klimov. It's probably the best anti-war films of all time.
Watch beast of no nation next
this is the "Saving Private Ryan" version of WW 1
I agree. There are not a lot of war movies showing their side, most of them just showing the US to be superior and the good guys. This one gives a much appreciated nuance on the whole situation. You almost feel sorry for soldiers thinking they could all have been good pals and shared a beer together had it not been for the war. They are all suffering and paying because of the stupidity and ego of old men. They wouldn't even join their men but talk big about sacrifice and glory... Ugh
Just finished watching this film and came back here to say that this is a masterpiece. I cried twice during this.
Same! I cried so much when (spoilers below)
Kat and Paul died also when Paul stabbed the French soldier and saw his wife and child I cried so much.
Came here to say the same but I didn’t cry 😭 coz I’m a double hard bastard
I really didn't appreciate them killing off characters that weren't meant to die in the book
I find myself in the same situation, at least we can find some comfort here in this comment section, and not behind enemy trenches :c
me too- i rarely cry from movies but this got me twice
I remember reading this book in high school. It was chilling from beginning to end. It is slightly based on the author’s experiences as a soldier in World War I, and it got to the point where the Nazis started going after him and his family due to the book’s anti-war message.
The Cinematography, the acting and the sound and i love how it makes my heart not skip a bit, can't imagine being in a situation like that. The masterpiece!
I dont know why when i see this movie i feel scared that we will doing this again in WW3. I think this is not just a movie but remember to all man to get ready
Made me cry multiple times. It communicates its ideals very clearly. War is fought between the young and naive and waged by the old and bitter with no heroes to be found here. It‘s been a few years since I read the novel but this made me want to read it again.
Totally agree. The old makes dumb decisions and the young must die for their stupidity. Does this sound fair to you?
@@jonfreeman9682 oh yes! it's exactly what i've been saying! thank you so much for saying it! love and respect brother
You put it beautifully!
@@jonfreeman9682 maybe the young should grow up then and stop being naive
@@KingdomRepublic Well that's what a lot of them did. They deserted the war. Even now many Russians left to avoid joining a war against Ukraine as they don't believe in it. This is why you need term limits so you don't have dinosaurs stay in power forever.
I'm just happy, at last a soldier in WW movies, spoke in their native language.
Edit: thank you for all the recommendations. Of course I do realise that many movies have done this before. I was referring to a joke made by Hugh Dennis on Mock the Week about a scene in war movies, where a German soldier quipped "why are we speaking English?"
Saving private ryan says hello.
Well it‘s a german movie
Das Boot
You must not watch a lot of movies then
That's always been a thing it's called English or German movies, even in British films made during Ww11 they would include Dutch speakers to portray Dutch civilians
The lead actor Felix Kammerer is phenomenal in the film considering this is this first film. Hope he gets recognition.
This is probably the best world war movie I've ever seen in my entire life.
My grandfather fought in the trenches in WW1. He had just finished college when he was called up, he was due to a get a job in engineering but after fighting in the war, he decided to become a doctor. He had said that he felt helpless when his comrades got injured and died on the battlefield so he dedicated the rest of his life to helping others who were injured or ill. Unfortunately he didn‘t get to live as long as he wanted since he was exposed to mustard gas. Because he became a doctor, he knew how he‘d die. He‘d died 5 decades after fighting. Its really nice to see films and books about WW1, WW2 wasn‘t the only brutal war. An entire generation was lost and forever changed because of WW1.
If he died 5 decades after fighting, doesn't that make him around 70? Isn't that extremely impressive for his context?
@@zachrabaznaz7687 he breathed some of the gas in before he could get his gas make on. He got sick then but recovered but it did damage his lungs. His health wasn’t the same afterwards. Many soldiers die years or even decades after battle from injuries they sustained, it’s not unusual.
@@zachrabaznaz7687 🤦🏻♂️
Your grandfather is a hero
Without WWI happening or finishing the way it did, the factors leading to the rise of totalitarianism and the events leading to WWII would have never happened. That war was a colossal tragedy over one nation that provoked a war by issuing an ultimatum that no country would have accepted to a country whose radicals assassinated the heir to the other nation's throne. When that heir was down in a historical city of that people to celebrate a humiliating victory over such people. So both sides were in the wrong. That incident escalated tensions to the point where that minor regional conflict escalated, plunging the whole world into an unstoppable maelstrom of death and destruction. That war should be looked at more and more in history in the US, Britain, and Europe because it has a more substantial impact. Because that war created the Nazis, it empowered the Bolsheviks to take over Russia and implement a Communist regime, making the Blackshirts that took over Italy. That conflict set up the rest of the 20th century because of one Gavrilo Princip assassinating Austro-Hungarian Crown Prince Franz Ferdinand and his wife. Pretty remarkable how one average joe could do a drastic act and commit the world to war when a major war had not gripped Europe since Napoleon Bonaparte over a century prior.
When I was in Middle School I had to do a book report on the book in 8th Grade. I also watched the 1979 film. It was an incredible film and this new version looks just as incredible. Hell, they include French St. Charmond tanks. That's the equivalent of seeing a unicorn for tank enthusiasts.
10th grade for me with the book, never watched the movie after reading the book/

My great great uncle was a British rifleman. He was brought into the trenches with the wave of volunteers which finished their training just before the Somme. He was killed in a charge on the 2nd of July, 1916, the second day of the battle. He has no known grave. Even today my grandfather drops in mood when talking about the way his father spoke of him. What that war took from us as a species cannot be forgotten. I recommend anybody to do a battlefield tour of some ww1 sites and memorials, especially the Ypres Salient.

I just saw the movie in a German theater. One of the most immersive experiences ever. You can almost feel the mud and smell the trenches. The cinematography is absolutely incredible. The acting is also genuinely great. I usually cringe when I see German actors.. it often looks unnatural to me, but absolutely not in this movie. There are some decisions in the story arc that I am not too happy about and that deviate from the book, but overall it is a fantastic movie.
I have seen many German movies and TV series. They have very fine, highly-trained actors and I don't find their acting 'unnatural' at all.

Just finished watching. It's a masterpiece. I came in hearing nothing but good reviews, and I wasnt disappointed. If youre watching looking forward to "which side you'll bet for", wanting to see generals win and war cries of victory, this is the movie for you, because it needs to be realized that there's no true winners of war, atleast for the soldiers that fought them. I think, war is a defeat for mankind in itself. We need to humanize the millions of people that died, whether it's for "honor or false pride'.
Never thought a Netflix trailer could bring tears to my eyes but damn, nothing like an insanely realistic war movie to put life, right back into perspective.

One of the BEST war movies ever made. Stunning, amazing, perfect. Felix Kemmerer never acted in a movie feature before and he is perfect. Hands down.
Apocalypse Now and The Thin Red Line are my two favourite war films of all time. Yes, they are different and yes, they convey the horrors of war strikingly. This movie may well be up there with them. What a tour de force. Brutal and yet, hauntingly beautiful.

This was seriously one of the best war films of all time. Not sure how good it was compared to the original material since it has been a while since I read the book but I know the spirit was the same. An indescribably amazing feel for the horror of war and what it can do to a man. There is NO way to sugar coat the kind of brutality of WW1 and this movie shows that amazingly
"I miss my comrades" is the line which encouraged me to watch this movie and I felt it ❤
My grandfather, who fought in WW2, only spoke about his experience once. The only thing he ever said was “There should never be another war”.
And yet look at the world right now everyone is having conflicts and nobody wants peace ww3 is feeling ever so closer

We need these movies to continue to be made and for people to watch them so that we all learn that humanity has to avoid war at this scale at all cost forevermore.
Yes, the romantization of war lately by edgy kids shows how little they actually know about what being in a war actually feels like
As long as the US military industrial complex runs foreign policy for profit, there will always be wars and proxy wars. forever. no meeting of minds can occur when ultimate hegemony is always sought by the current most powerful military complex.
It's not the ordinary people who create and wage war. It's the powerful people.
Unless it's the US citizens against a tyrannical US government.
You know, just a few glimps at real war gives more than enough realization that wars should be avoided.
This movie is gonna bag Atleast 3 oscars , just saw the movie , it’s phenomenal !
This is true horror. Not what the genre usually conjures up in film. There, you can remind yourself that it’s just a movie. But this, this hell happened. There was a Paul in those trenches-and a Kat, and a Franz. These men lived and died. Their bravery, whether two minutes or two years was no less valuable. To endure such a crippling nightmare in any capacity is unimaginable. I was stunned beyond tears seeing this film. It will stay with me for a long time.
I cried and went silent the whole movie. One of the best and most realistic ww1 movies ever.
I'm dreaming of home.
I hope these fallen soldiers have found the calm, rest and peace they deserve.

My great great grandfather fought at the somme. He was lucky to survive and come home, but the war took a heavy toll on him. He didn't reach his 40th birthday before complications from the war took him (stress had shaved decades off his life, and gas exposure weakened his lungs) Rest In Peace Nathan Simons, rifleman, father, and husband 🕊
I remember visiting the Somme crater in France. Even though it’s covered by grass and flowers, it’s still sobering to think how much explosive power was behind something that could create a crater that deep, and the psychological trauma that soldiers had to go through, fearing that they might step on a mine just like that
May he rest peacefully. The somme was one hell of a battle, and the fact that he survived shows, in my opinion, how strong he was.
The Brit’s suffered 20,000 dead in one day at the Somme. Americans suffered about 3,000 dead on D-Day
It has a similar feel to “come and see”.
Rip and thanks so much for you service 🧡
I watched this movie yesterday with my father. It's extremely good, while I may not have cried I felt the pain and misery of the characters and the people surrounding them because this is what actually happened in the past.
War is hell.
A masterpiece! The first movie of WWI that I have watched and felt the pain of the war. Thanks for producing such a great film!
I read this as a freshman in high school, and it was the first time I really understood that just because one side wins and another loses doesn't mean the soldiers on the other side were monsters. They were all just human. Obeying orders, like those on the winning side. It was a harsh but necessary lesson for me. I am grateful to this author, and the people who lived through that hell. The black and white film with Lew Ayers was pretty damn good as well. This looks like all the good faith efforts have been made. I am ...excited is the wrong word, but I am readying myself to witness this tale and remember these brave souls again.
I read this in 10th grade and it forever changed my perspective on war. I knew it was bad and traumatizing before, of course, but I did not comprehend the depths of a soldier’s experience until I read this book. It remains one of the best books I read during high school.

"On the Western Front without Change" is the best film about the First World War that I have ever watched in my life!!!
I wish there were more such films, because this war was the most unexpected and had roots in the Second World War.
As the child born and raised in USSR I was amazed when I came across this book because it was so weird to read a story from a German perspective (also a Time to live and a time to die). I think that was a first time I realized that behind "enemy" in every war there are people

Saw this movie in limited run early this month. Was incredible, teared up, one of the most devastating war films of all time. It will stay with you for long after the credits roll.
1917 really haunted me for at least a week after I watched it. I couldn't stop thinking about it. Really a beautiful film, but yeah, just haunting. I've heard the book this movie is based on is quite haunting as well.
ok thats good, I have been craving for some more ww1 films after I watched 1917

@@the98themperoroftheholybri33 yeah just like I wasn’t tricked into fighting in Iraq because they had “weapons of mass destruction”
@@the98themperoroftheholybri33 Thanks for your hot take. /s
Most people went to fight ww1 because they felt they needed too, for they’re country, and they wanted adventure. Obviously it wasn’t what they expected
Paronax does have a point.... a point that should be part of the movie and definitely was in the two previous ones.
The old movies depict very well, how the combination of patriotism, propaganda, peer pressure and having no clue what the war was really like made the boys recruited right in the class-room volunteer to go into "glorious battle" only to find themselves stuck in a quagmire beyond their worst nightmares. The coloured one even had one of the soldiers returning for a brief vacation and calling out the recruiters to their faces, only for the young boys to call him a coward because they've been so indoctrinated and high on patriotism (I don't remember if the black-and-white had that scene too... it's been so long since I've seen that).
Though naturally there was one group that was definitely not tricked into serving: Conscripts.
And that's why I really don't like the direction this trailer is showing. It's all epic and spectacular, but that's not what the old movies were about (I haven't read the book, so I can't comment on that). Also the old ones were all about the soldiers in the trechnes from the persepctive of a specific boy, not the high command and officers.
@L’IMMORTEL The soldiers don't know, though.
I don’t think there’s a limit to how much one can talk about WWI. There are just so many stories and accounts that are important and interesting that it makes sense for all the books, shows, and movies about it. I look forward to this new movie!
It’s a movie lmao
Your limit is over
Most people who fought in WWI were either injured or killed.
Also great to see new perspectives. I wish the Eastern front could get the same love, so many interesting tales that people know little about.
YAYYYYY no liberal pc garbage. Woohoo!
This film should be shown to all the youth of today in all countries around the world it’s shows the hell of warfare
unfortunately the youth does not care everyone is on tik tok
Watched this last night. Might be the best war film I've ever seen.
My Great Grandfather fought at the Somme in WW1, his survival story is one still sticks with me years after hearing it.
When he was injured he was carried off to an aid station, to get there him and his comrades would have to walk down a country road, my great grandfather told the men carrying him to put him down because he only hold them back and put them in danger, so they lay him in a bank at the side of the dirt road gave him some ammunition and some cigarettes and carried on without him.
He stayed there up until he could hear a horse and cart coming up the road, so he dug himself in and aimed his rifle down the road thinking it was Germans coming toward him, as the cart come into view he recognised the man on the cart, it was one of his mates from his home town in Exmouth, Devon UK, he was then put on the cart and taken back to an aid station which he was then later bandaged up and sent home.
Still to this day I find it a truly amazing story.
Thanks for sharing this
@@usaf2011 no problem, these stories need to be told.
G'd is good.
Very similar to a story Roger Waters told in Amused to the Death
Gosh, it’s a small world after all!
I finished reading the book a few weeks ago and I have to say it was the most tragic and profound story I’ve ever read. It paints such vivid and terrifying images in my mind that no other book has done. Hearing the screams of wounded horses tangled in their own spilt intestines until they are put down. Feeling the bleak and dreary grey of the lorries. And finally the dark sky of the front lit up with bright red and green flares and star shells. God that book really paints insanely vivid images that I’ve been illustrating my own interpretations recently.
Erich Maria Remarque is in a very special category when it comes to depicting the tragedy of human condition. Try reading "The Triumph Arc" and "Three Friends". The sense of dread is always palpable, even when there seem to be streaks of light on any given page. Watching the world tear itself apart now is so shocking as someone who was a child when we moved to the U.S. from former USSR. People will never learn.
That's why I feel like the trailer isn't capturing that at all, it somewhat epic, while this whole book was slow and gray tragedy. Maybe it's adaptation won't be that good at all
Read "The Forgotten Soldier" by Guy Sajer
@@Dostav I really hope the movie represents the physiological aspects of the book. Because to me one of the best parts was seeing how their entire worldview changes, and how it affects them mentally. As someone diagnosed with ptsd myself(not from anything near as horrible as this tho) it really hit home with the part where Paul goes on leave. It’s like after you’ve seen some shit you really can never see things the same again, like losing all innocence. The book is a slow, and for the most part monotonous and depressing ride, but that’s what made it such a great story, it didn’t sugercoat anything and didn’t pull any punches.
That's what we went through to create NATO. Think about it the next time you vote.
One of the best movies of all time and the best movie about WWI. The last scene, when Paul trying to go outside from the trench room and see peace time one last time, was utmost heartbreaking. This's the best movie I've ever watched!
This is serious Oscar material! Great script, super actors, superb photography and i adore that soundtrack ! Exceptionally original and moving… fingers crossed!
i watched the original a few days ago. most terrifying movie i’ve ever watched, not because of its shock factor but because of how it will stick with me and change my views of war for the rest of my life.
War.....war never changes.
k now go watch Come and See (1985)
You don´t mean "the original" rather the first film adaptation. The original remains the book.
Which movie
If you really want to mess yourself to, watch threads.
Just finished watching it today. It's unforgiving.
WW1 always hits me the most. Probably because it always makes me think of my great-grandfather and about everything he must have been through. Born in 1892 in the 'Harz Gebirge' (Harz-mountains) in central Germany, he was one of the unfortunate sons send to the Western-Front. After taking shrapnel from a nearby artillery shell, he was taken to a field hospital where they patched him up. After he recovered they saw him fit enough to be send back to the Western-Front, but he himself had other plans... In the middle of the night he smashed the locks of a prison cell containing a Belgium prisoner he befriended and they both took the leap of faith and fled towards the neutral Netherlands, this was still however miles and miles away from the Western-Front. Supossedly according to my grandfather they miraciously found an old rowboat in the water eventually (it makes you re-evaluate your opinion on fate).
They must have labeled him a deserter, a 'Feigling' as the Germans would've called it. I'd say it takes guts to do what he did, the man was a survivor and even till this day it brings tears to my eyes thinking about it, the fact that his blood runs through my veins.
His name was ~ Gustav Hermann Otto Ameling.
WOW what a story. A movie must be made about it.
@@javasrevenge7121
The followup story is more tragic though. My great grandfather settled in the Netherlands and married in 1921, but basically being a war refugee meant that he had to start everything up from scratch. This also meant that he didn't have the money to neutralise his Nationality, something that would come back to haunt him when the Nazis would annex the Netherlands during WW2.
During WW2 the Nazis came to his house and took his two oldest sons, because my great-grandfather was still technically of German nationality... He attempted to escape war, but war wasn't finished with him yet... His oldest son Friedrich (Freek in Dutch) died in France, mangled beyond recognition by a fighter plane's machine gun. His second oldest was send to the Eastern front and never came back when the war ended.
My grandfather was 17 in 1945 and in the first stages of recruitment when the war ended, considering WW2 was in it's last stage, it's almost certain that he would have been send to the Battle of Berlin or something similar, meaning almost certain dead. The war ended just in time for my grandfather.
My great-grandfather himself was too old for active service, however being a German in occupied Holland meant that he had privileges, one of them being that he was allowed to walk the streets during evening curfews, which he used to warn adresses with Jewish families in hiding. After the war that all didn't matter much though, there was a huge anti-German sentiment and he was German after all... so they robbed him of his tractor and farming equipment, leaving him to start back up from scratch yet again.
My great-grandfather died in 1952 at the age of 60. The piece of shrapnel he took during WW1 was travelling through his body and punctured his organs. Around 1955 the second oldest son showed up at home, rags of cloth bound around his feet and almost unrecognizable. He was finally released from Soviet prison. He was an alcoholic for the remainder of his life.
@@Noahboy8 Holy smokes what a tragedy, thank god we've had peace the last 70 years, that is way too much for one person to go through

@Aurelian
"Stay and fight" for a hopeless cause. The western front was the most pointless front in human history. 5 million young men between 13 and 30 years old died for 200 meters/yards of terrain gain in only 4 years. That's like wiping out the entire population of a country like Denmark in just 4 years time.
Is it bravery to fight in a battle where people's heads are smashed in like eggshells, burned to a crisp by flamethrowers and are just simply killed by the thousands on a daily basis?
I believe bravery is to rise against adversity, to do something despite the odds and despite fear of repercussions in order to gain something greater, usually a greater good. When a war/battle gains absolutely utterly nothing other than an early grave, can we then speak of a greater good? When it renounces the whole concept of bravery, the only viable act of bravery left is saving your own soul in order to survive.
Besides my great-grandfather already nearly died by shrapnel from a grenade/artillery shell and almost certainly already witnessed lots of his brothers perish. It's not like he fled on the first day he arrived there.
One of the heart-wrenching and depressing stories, it speaks about the movies, stunning
