All Quiet On The Western Front (1979) - Part 7

[spishspashsposh]

i dont mean the happy face i meant D: :( rip to all the soilders in the war

[spishspashsposh]

im half german and half english..i dont have a side!:D

[topperheartramada]

@spishspashsposh well you kind of do, both of them hate the french:)

[reaper060670]

The lines in this part 7 coming up2 6mins on here are brilliant..The German says if they threw their guns away they cud be brothers..and then he says but they do not want us to know that, they do not want us to know that! It's perfect in times of war..Ppl with no hatred or any feeling at all toward each other murde each other like it's a video game..It's sad we are so weak as a race..The few run the many billions..Has to stop now!

[leroidelarue1]

@reaper060670 I personally think the scene would have been stronger without the words, his face should just have expressed the words with the sound of shelling on the background. I do agree with you though.

[topperheartramada]

@reaper060670 you do realise this was a hundred years ago? and war isn't about hatred. you just have a major difference of opinion that you can't resolve by peaceful means. there is nothing inherently illogical about war. it hurts, yeah. and you do end up killing someone you never met. but then again, that guy isn't your friend either, is he? you don't walk out on the street and feel the love for random strangers, do you?

[LemonsourLemon]

sobbing again!

[Gemini3383]

does anyone else feel a sense of pity for that german soldier

[rickvangils100]

The mighty people are declaring war with each other, and the young people who dindn't had the choice to fight, and didn't do anything, must fight, they had too.

[zahedi15]

No wonder the book itself has always remained a classic and inspired anti-war sentiments for so many decades.

[Zylinderverschluss98]

poor french... so sad... If I was him, recognizing he isnt diing yet, I would have helped him and maybe tried to bring him back to his unit...just to help this poor men... but never let him suffer like this almost half a day !....

[Rex1987]

@Zylinderverschluss98 have you seen Saving Private Ryan? in that movie they capture a german soldier and are tempted to shoot him but they show mercy on him - instead they relace him. now what does he do? he goes back to his unit and just kills more americans - if that french soldier got back to his unit what would have stopped him from during more killing? no, the only thing that would have helped is to have stopped the war entirely.

[Zylinderverschluss98]

@Rex1987 I just wanted to say I wouldn't had let the french soldier suffer for such a long time... Its just horrible to see... if U know what I mean

[Rex1987]

@Zylinderverschluss98 i certainly do - and it is strange to see the main character just lies there and does nothing.

[jolorulz]

@Rex1987 I can't really blame him (the German). He's torn in the confusion of war by his own morality, his sense of duty and his instinct to survive. At one point he seems to feel, almost physically, the weight of the confusion. In the end he tries to help the Frenchman,even though he ultimately fails to do so. So let us not judge a soldier for doing what he feels he must do in the face of death. Who knows what we're capable of doing ourselves?

[THthefirst]

@Zylinderverschluss98 You have no idea what you would do in that position, so don't judge from the warmth of your bedroom keyboard

[THthefirst]

@Zylinderverschluss98 You have no idea what you would do in that position, so don't judge from the warmth of your bedroom keyboard. You also COMPLETELY miss the point of this scene. The point is to show that war de-humanises people so that the taking of a life is routine. But the human spirit can't be taken away, and eventually he tries to help and he makes that human connection. But it too late. That is the pity of war. THAT is the point. Do you get it now?

[DtTV94]

One thing i've noticed when I have a conversation with someone about WWI. Most of them seem to think that it was the germans who started WWI but it wasnt, it was the french, and they're no more evil than the french, british, americans, russians or any other creed!

[mike007lp]

@DtTV94 Saying that the French started it is just as silly as saying that the Germans started it.

[StuProductions]

@DtTV94 it was the austrians accusing the sebians of being connected to the black hand gang. the austro-hungarians attacked serbia, which started the war! do some fucking research before you try to teach me any shit you think you know

[njtaha]

when i watch this movie i always forget and think that their americans or british cause they talk english but then i see the spiky helmet and i remember, oh yeah their germans.

[bluecolour78]

in the book he didn't have a gun, he'd lost it and didnn't have the courage to stab him to death.

[ahlqvisten]

I cried a river watching this, I cried so much that I had to pause the clip when he got out of there and put my act together before I could keep watching... Made me think that humans can be a dreadful creature... But at the same time that we can help another person, feel compation even though the situation..... Very beautiful clip..

[ahlqvisten]

Why doesn't he kill him and put an end to his suffering?

[TheSabbath8]

@ahlqvisten if he would kill him with rifle then he would blow off his cover,,with the bayonet it would be to cruel

[Katuiros]

@ahlqvisten

are you serious?

[ve3kiu]

brutal scene.... excellent interpretation of the novel

[Hombre261]

danke erich maria remarqu für diesesen zeitlosen klassike !!r

[Princessanime7]

what proportion of time was spent on the front line, as reserve-backing up the front and on rest and recreation?

[xertixz]

@Princessanime7 i think it was a week on week off but obviously if u were being heavily shelled or were preparing for an attack you could be there for weeks on end

[superchargeify]

what was on that cloth that Paul put on the french guy's wound? Alcohol? some kind of poison?

[ragerancher]

I have not shame in saying this brought tears to my eyes. A very emotional piece.

[combatarmsdude864]

its sad how many soldiers had died thinking''please dont let the rats eat me

[Platschheimer]

probably the most important scene in the novel

[Zeanu]

"It's just that I have never met you before like this. Face to face."

[pizaa007]

best war movie :) the book was great too

[xganger2]

This is one of the best movies ever made because it shows that the germans just are normal people and not monsters!

[jasincl]

@xganger2 agreed half of my family is german and are ALL agianst hitler well were against hitler

[agj9]

fuck, he got stabbed in the neck, it doesnt take him all night to fucking die

[laram5]

@agj9 Actually - The Chest. It Took Me A Minute To Realise Too, But It Was His Chest...

[stefanlefan]

@agj9 , he got stabbed in the stomach

[THthefirst]

@agj9 no, he got stabbed in the chest, and with a collapsed lung it certainly can that long.

[TheFSguy]

@THthefirst no it was the gut, or stomach

[hallabalooza]

This is probably the most intense antiwar scene ever

[LiFe0In1ThE0MaTrix01]

that french dude is like oohh im totaly dieing

[mxp67]

holy crap the french guy sorta looks like uhh what is it yeah tony stark, erm not that sure

[alaricofarabia]

They might as well have played the looney tunes intro when the kaiser came over

[findingsomething1]

when he wants to save him then he dies=(

[thepro187]

I Watched This in school and the quote the paul says made me cry cause it is so smart i give it 5/5 it is just so good

[thepro187]

I Watched This in school and the quote the paul says made me cry cause it is so smart i give it 5/5 it is just so good

[Raeliquae]

In the novel this scene is far more vivid and touching.... the film did an ok job I just didnt feel the level of compassion

[mxp67]

notice bullet holes in helmet

[alaricofarabia]

@mxp67 Its a rip in the cloth covering the helmet. Probably from barbed wire or something. Bullet holes dont crack like that

[mxp67]

@alaricofarabia yeah oops didn't notice the metal underneath

[mistroboy]

if you look at the way the french soldier is lying dead it looks like a photo graph i have scene before. The main image has him in the a shell hole like that while german storm troopers run past him.

a bit wierd and freak how they look both similar.

[TheKingOfPowderGame]

wow the french didnt know how to camouflage thenselves the ar blue vs grey

[GodOfTheInternets]

@TheKingOfPowderGame

When the war first started, the Fench were dressed in red blue and white. Their military uniforms hadn't changed since 1870. Sometimes they were using bayonets that were used in the Franch Revolution 1780s!

[alimamma121]

bet you are!!XD

Mine MW2 is no more;(

[martziano619]

@xninjazx6r And what does this have to do with anything regarding this film or WW1 ?

[FINhenu]

08:57 what is the name of this march? i know that i have heard it before, but i can`t find it anywhere.

[SchwarzeProminence]

Man that French has some really annoying moans... if I was the one who stabbed I'd totally shoot him dead already.

[martziano619]

@SchwarzeProminence Well, then you're a fucking idiot.

[SchwarzeProminence]

No, that is called mercy killing, why would I prolong his suffering if I know that he will still die with any sort of effort to save him?

[brunettehoney0]

ive cried so many times during this scene

[alimamma121]

faggot!XD just kiding

[brunettehoney0]

IM A GIRL =))

[alimamma121]

well i like girls =)

[xajimas]

enternecedor...vaya mierda.

[daniboi12345]

i wouldnt have the heart to kill a person but if it was paul and i knifed to dude i would finish him off instead of feelin worse bout seein him gasping for breath i would rather kill him swiftly than watch him die like that

[alexp9999]

6:00

bro, the french guy doesn't SPEAK english =)

[mrceebees14]

5 stars.

[couchsloth69]

dont sit ther nd look at him!!! he's been stabbed help him you craz... oh yea thats right...

[Kangos7]

thats a sad scene

[niejunxin]

oh yea and then it looks like he ends up not writing the letter for the french guy?

[MarkEdwardBlacksmith]

In war you can't just write a letter to the family of an enemy soldier. Paul dies before the war is over.

[kodachromefilm]

But did he send it?

[MarkEdwardBlacksmith]

No, he did not.

In the book he reasons that it would be pointless.

[kodachromefilm]

My point indeed. Thanks.

[Omglolleri]

Does it matter? Its going to censored by officers anyway

[TheOldSchoolPlaya08]

Yay besides what are you to write to the family? "Dear Mrs.Duval I'm sorry that I stabbed your husband while pretending to be dead."

Sincerely,

Paul Baumer

[niejunxin]

the german guy said that he would write to the french guy's family, but when he was reading the letter in the guy's jacket he read that the blue guy killed some printer? i don't get it someone explain?

[2jm2]

no, the blue guy was a french printer and the german guy is saying wat the blue guys name and he is saying like " i killed Shavul Duvalle the printer"

[niejunxin]

oh..i get it...but the german guy looks so sad afterwards...i guess he's not gonna write the letter for the french guy???

[MarkEdwardBlacksmith]

Paul Bäumer (the main character - in field gray) while looking through the possessions of the French soldier (in blue), reads on one of the papers: Gerard Duval, Compositeur; the name and profession (printer/typesetter) of the soldier he just killed.

That's why Paul says to himself: "I have killed Gerard Duval, the printer".

[niejunxin]

Thanks so much! Yeah see I had no idea of what the German guy was saying when he was said - Gerard Duval, Compositeur - I don't take French in school.....so thx!

[PaladinSERBIA]

IT IS MUSIC COMPOSER

[ostpunk094]

gerard duval - "Drucker" in german .... a drucker is a guy that works at a book press , i don´t know the english word , sorry.

[LALLYDOGGIECOOL]

it is printer,and btw he actually says it.

[AltamontKiller]

Printer 

[ostpunk094]

now i know the word , "compositeur" means "printer" in english.

[janborrowitz]

these helmets were used of 1916 i think werent they ?

[Gekka95]

The French used Steel helmets in 1915 and the Germans in '17, I think.

[Raap123]

the first German steelhelmet called M16 so its 1916

[something01992]

The Germans always used steel in their helmet construction. The picklehaub helmet was metal but since it was polished to a nice sheen, it was issued with a leather or cloth covering. I remember reading this in a book somewhere some years ago.

[architectdesigner11]

Send those assholes sitting in the motorized carriages to the front line.

[SpoOkyBeEf]

Frenchie would be dead by morning

[ScarsOfTheCrucifix]

i still cant understand why the french thought blue uniforms were a good idea..

[SpoOkyBeEf]

Same here

[bobamba]

they where think napolionic war fare so the nicer the uniform because the smoke of the guns whould hide the colors and also they did not want to kill there own guys in those times so they made fancy uniforms

[1stLtDavis]

Because, when they were fleeing over the hills into the blue horizon it would make them blend in.

[deagle13]

what if it was a cloudy day?

[1stLtDavis]

Well, then you have some dead Frenchmen.

[TwoWithNoMind]

because the french thought hte would scare the enemy by having blue uniforms so .... a very foolish idea by now but then is was logic to them

[mainesta]

i would have been like ' hurry up and die bitch!!'

[PLOPOjkl]

you say that, but in reality you'd never be able to say that to a man you just killed.

[liegeois030491]

what's the name of the music at 9:00

[englishfrenchgerman]

I think it was composed specifically for the film. I don't think it has a name

[KickenItOldSchool]

Yeah the saving private ryan scene wasn't flagged

[RazorCell7]

man i would have finished him off

even if hes the enemy i don't like seeing any Soldier suffer like that

i would have gave him a quick stab to the heart

[rikuzxbf]

I wouldn't be able to do that... I would die just looking at his eyes.......

[RazorCell7]

then at least i would try and help him earlier

but if i can't

then i would myself to do the hardest thing possible

i would rather him be in peace

then him suffer

[deepdohlinyc]

this stabbing scene is nothing compared to the one in saving private ryan

[splicer623]

what a way to go, seriously

[charlesc300]

i bet they do not show this types of movies in the army or the marines

[bfahren]

@charlesc300 Surely not, cos then they would be very few, and not very proud, the Marines.

[mikflaherty]

@charlesc300 this was one of the books that was banned by the nazis and subsequently burned in public by them...i think you have just gave the reason why ;) lol

[azhd210]

amazing scene im going to favorite it i cant even explain why just amazing

[BothtaweeKelly]

I'm not sure if this scene should be flagged. It's sad and a little bit shocking/bloody, but it is also showing an example of what war is like and should be given a serious thought after this scene.

[austenbosten]

Why would it be flagged? There are much worse things on YT

[BothtaweeKelly]

Just the stabbing and a little graffic or something. But That's what war is like.

[BlitzoftheReich]

this scene is sad.

[OverHedge99]

Heavy stuff

[KevinDacombe]

The most poignant scene in the entire film
