All Quiet On The Western Front (1979) - Part 9

[MrOnlinePsychology]

The thing about ww1 as apposed to ww2 is that in this war there was no great evil, no genocide committing dictator to remove. just a bunch of squabbling nations trying to assert dominance.

[westhegreat96]

2:26 double salto haha

[SamonMarquis]

I have heard this film is being remade in 2013 starring Daniel Radcliffe as Paul Baumer.

[DutchPetriot]

@SamonMarquis Yes, its a shame

[SgtZippzapp]

@SamonMarquis i heard 2012

[wigster600]

these pyrotecnics are great this is why i dont prefer cgi.

[apritchard2010]

in the book he wasnt injured :/ fucking hate when movies change the story

[lockhughes]

Watching the 1930 version is what spoils this movie...

(but tks for the upload anywayz!)

[rockstarJDP]

2:28 - if ever there was a graceful way to get hit by a bomb, this is it!

[nikolabathory]

I really need to read the book too!

[mubd1234]

Reminds me of COD for some reason.

[MATASEREANU]

JEEEEESUS .... WHAT A BOMBARDMENT .....

[Glitterfr0st]

LIARRRRRR! *throws slippers at doctor* LMAO

[SufferingSarge]

2:29...DUDE is that jackie chan?

[starlily17]

god i love it when they throw things at the "liars"

this movie is immense, just an amazing thing to witness...beautiful

we are watching it in a lesson, and i couldnt help but want to watch it at home too :D

[LennaertD]

The dying room is where if a soldier does not want to live on anymore, he can go there, put a gun against his head and shoot himself out of this misery, which in this case might be the best option.

[AltamontKiller]

stanislaus is tough

[TheSabbath8]

i tink you would rather be in ww2 then ww1,

[milanTHErocker]

War is terrible.Sadly it will never go away

[LInfernoschaf]

@milanTHErocker

where are humans, there is war

something like this said albert einstein already, and i think he's right...

[Zeanu]

Love how French and German soldiers just mingle on the streets.

[mikflaherty]

@Zeanu lol i thought that for a second. they were POW's 

[Zeanu]

@mikflaherty Well, yeah! Most likely, but it's still a great sight to behold. But I thought I read somewhere that in WW1, there were certain zones where fighting just didn't occur and all soldiers, fit or wounded would come together for supplies and medical support. But I'm not sure anymore. Seems a bit farfetched even back then.

[mikflaherty]

@Zeanu that would be a very civilized war. i think their was a notion of a certain honourable code of conducting warfare that may have been there at the start of the war, but it soon descended into bruality. if that was the case though, it would restore some faith in humanity lol

[GGSDavejones]

@Zeanu nah, it did happen, and only a small part of WW1 was fought in trenches, most of it was open battle fields

[Zeanu]

@GGSDavejones The whole western front was at a standstill in early 1915, actually...

[GGSDavejones]

@Zeanu the last person to die in WW1 died within the last minute before the ceasefire, it might have come to a standstill but it didn't mean attacks weren't made

[Zeanu]

@GGSDavejones I was refering to the trenches...

[GGSDavejones]

@Zeanu Ah sorry i had missunderstood what you meant in your last comment

[MrBatsneger]

@mourad7theman

its only a movie...

ofcourse some of it really happened

but THIS is only a movie

now go cry somewhere else

[OblivionVideos01]

what was he trying to kill himself with? and how at 9:15 ish....??

[Trialbystone17]

"he's trying to kill himself with"... and I think I heard the word "fork" but who knows.

[83RockaRolla]

@OblivionVideos01 Yes, trialbystone is right: a fork

[piisamiboyz]

What a heck is the dying room?

[ezazujjuzernevem]

@piisamiboyz the expression is used (and i quess invented) by the writer.....they took there the dying people who can not be cured so they can die in peace and they don't disturb the other patients....of course nobody wanted to go there....

[alaricofarabia]

@piisamiboyz probably where all the wounded guys go that don't stand chance anyway. makes room for people that have a chance to survive

[THthefirst]

@piisamiboyz A room where injured soldiers with no hope are put?

[AttackLvl3]

Now try again in English -.-

[spowperu]

estoy seguro que muchas españolas pobres hacian lo mismo cuando los franceses de napoleón les invadieron y eso no tiene nada de excepcional siempre ha ocurrido en toda guerra.

[xajimas]

pues no son putillas las gabachas ni nada.........ayyyyyyyyy

[xajimas]

el chiquitín desvirgado...jor............

[RazorCell7]

Hows that Funny? are you a fucking Idiot?

[alexp9999]

read "Born On The 4th of July" by Ron Kovic, then try to imagine what being wounded in THIS war must have been like O.O

[alexp9999]

what can you do? monologue from one character is difficult enough to pull off, let alone an entire cast...not so in novels and stories. characters' thoughts and feelings have to be shown in actors' expressions and dialogue, while novels have the luxury of describing everything, if so desired. movies = cooler for visual/performance reasons, novels = cooler because characters are often more complex, more intrinsic to the story; novels give us all the 'cool little things' that Hollywood hates...

[antomyofthetounge]

yes well... lifes a bitch...

[TheElectricUndead]

the irony in war is sick, to think there is more food and first aid to be found on a battlefield than there is in the rest of the world like starving nations.

[Disappearingboy1039]

In 8th grade,which was like 3 years ago,we read part of the book where he's in the trench with the French Soldier,then we saw this movie and it was so fucking good.Then like a few weeks later i got, In School Suspension, and i read the entire book the whole 3 days i was suspended and all i had to say was it was an amazing book and this is an amazing movie!

[Rebekie170589]

i wish they had put in the bit where paul chucks a bottle at the nuns for praying. thats my favourite part in the whole book

[FenceWire7]

lol 2:30 perfect flip

[SupaTROopa2]

lol

[theonlynamavailable]

is it just me or have they missed ALOT of stuff from the book?

[Rizrsniper]

they did.

[ravenwing613]

They have, but it was probably due to time constraints. No matter how good a movie is, if it's adapted from a book, the book will be more descriptive.

[holyhermit1]

they went from battle to knifing french guy in the shell hole......which they skipped his "leave" and put the french girls scene out of order....but it's pretty accurate on what happens, just not the order

[FourstringAndi]

Good remake of the greatest anti-war movie of all times! A real statement for peace and humanity. Many modern war movies are missing that element unfortunately...

[algs229635]

Can not be fraternization with the enemy, a nice and beautiful is the enemy, not

[c0n0rt]

this is a favourite along with

;pearl harbour

;saving private ryan

;a bridge to far

;the great escape

and jarhead

some great war films

the best films are ww2 films

[volsfrek112]

[xYxHelenaxYx]

does any 1 here know what chapter when joseph behm got shot on the eye?? his the nerd guy :D

[deagle13]

1st i believe(?)

[ScarsOfTheCrucifix]

that old hand gy is a legend, he really loves his war brothers

[bearjmu]

"i wont go to the dying room!"  best quote in the movie

[ivushky]

@bearjmu where did they take him?

[splicer623]

wait there is one exception- saving private ryan

[deagle13]

unfortunately one of the only...flyboys had some pretty cool CGI stuff, but that was it...

[Darkknight7853]

This movie should be updated with better effects which would make the antiwar message all the more powerful

[Silent46]

For some reasons I think the effects could spoil an entire movie. We already had some examples that proved it right, if you understand what I mean.

[azmonkeyboy]

like what?

[Silent46]

For example Godzilla (nicknamed Zilla) or to certain degree even Star Wars. They have new speciall effects, but lack this something which the original movies had. Hard to explain roght now

[Mchitler08]

yeah i agree, the makers of the movie would focus on the special effects and completely forget about the storyline and signifigance of the movie. better special effects would detract from the emotions and dialogue

[IamKesyerSoze]

I agree and whether we like to acknowledge it or not, special effects also glamourizes violence (whether their original tension or not). Just look at Pearl Harbor.

[IamKesyerSoze]

Oops, I meant "intention"
