All Quiet on the Western Front - Trailer [1930] [3rd Oscar Best Picture]
Loading...
Uploaded by MoviesHistory on Apr 17, 2009
This is an English language film (made in America) adapted from a novel by German author Erich Maria Remarque. The film follows a group of German schoolboys, talked into enlisting at the beginning of World War 1 by their jingoistic teacher. The story is told entirely through the experiences of the young German recruits and highlights the tragedy of war through the eyes of individuals. As the boys witness death and mutilation all around them, any preconceptions about "the enemy" and the "rights and wrongs" of the conflict disappear, leaving them angry and bewildered. This is highlighted in the scene where Paul mortally wounds a French soldier and then weeps bitterly as he fights to save his life while trapped in a shell crater with the body. The film is not about heroism but about drudgery and futility and the gulf between the concept of war and the actuality. Written by Michele Wilkinson

Damn it, this film is almost 80 years old, and it's one of the (if not thee) best war films i have ever seen... brilliant!

My most favourite war drama (both the book and this brilliant film adaptation). :-)
