Review of All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) by Eva3Si0N — 16 Nov 2022

All Quiet on the Western Front is a surprisingly excellent adaptation of a fine novel. I didn't expect a movie like that from Netflix. Expectations were minimal, I thought there would be agendas for LGBT people and Negroes.

And then it turns out a great anti-war film, which was released at a very correct time. And although the plot is quite loosely retold here, entire storylines are omitted. All Quiet on the Western Front looks great.

A good picture and editing make comparisons from 1917, but this is completely wrong. Germans, unlike Americans and British, are able to make war films and well convey the atmosphere and spirit of total war without heroism and pathos.

All Quiet on the Western Front is one of the best movies of 2022 and clearly the best Netflix has done in the last few years.
