9/10
A refined classic
8 September 2020
This 1979 remaster of the 1930 classic, "All Quiet on the Western Front," does great justice to the original narrative. A cinematic representation of the war through the eyes of the aggressors gives the audience and history buffs a contrasting viewpoint that aids us in understanding the war from all sides. This film focuses on the grueling effects of trench warfare and the psychological war that soldiers were facing as a result of hellish battle sequences and harsh conditions. This film emphasizes the significance of nationalism in the development of Germany and the outcome of the war, furthermore the disdain the Germans began to feel against their leaders and their role in the war. This film is genuine and provides the audience with an in depth progression of German soldiers and their outlook of the world around them.
