Review of All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) by Tom M — 12 Nov 2007
A great movie about the madness of the fratricide 1rst World War seen by young german recruits and the crazyness of trench warfare where armies advance only to retreat the next day loosing thousands of young men for nothing.
There are some astonishing scenes in this movie like the gripping moment when Paul, the german protagonist, helps the french soldier he wounded in the middle of the battlefield.
Although its noticeable that this is a 1930s movie, it still appeals to a modern viewer because its in a way very modern. Its a statement against the horrors of war. To think that Hitler took power in germany just a few years after this came out...
Highly recommended.
