all quiet on the western front

a remake of a classic. like i said in the other thread, it's a no frills circa world war 1 film based mainly on the views of the then embattled germans. it's violently bloody and gory so it's no dinner flick.

the absence of romanticism of the bravery and the anguish of the teutonic imperial soldiers and politicians at the tail end of the 1st world war ( vs france) made the movie quite different.
