All Quiet on the Western Front will cause a mix of emotions. The futility of war. The empathy one has to the young recruits who have no idea what they are getting into. The disconnect between the national and military leaders and the boots on the ground. This and the utter horror of the battlefield. AQWF is a stark portrayal, not simply of World War I, but all wars. Because War is Hell, and it doesn't matter what country or what war we are speaking of. The same starkness was in Saving Private Ryan, but the battlefield horror was only in the beginning of the film. Here the entire film is unrelenting and does not let the viewer off the hook. The battlefield is not glorified but the battle field is shown for what it is.
AQWF is all the more relevant from what is going on now in the Ukraine.
Don't worry the language spoken is not English. What is happening and what is to happen is clear enough.
