foreign war films always exhort the audience that war is cruel and bloody, we don't want war, we need peace. Domestic war movies always show a kind of high-blooded fighting spirit, making ignorant young people think that war is very fun and interesting.
Our domestic filmmakers who shoot war films lack a sense of cruelty, and even make fun of war with a joking attitude. As a result, divine dramas appear frequently, so various rebirth novels always outline that they can do something in the era of rebirth.
After watching the new version of "All Quiet on the Western Front" in 2022, I was silent for a long time, because all the characters in the movie that I thought had the aura of the protagonist are gone.
, even Paul , who witnessed the entire Western Front war from beginning to end, was stabbed in the chest by the enemy's bayonet a minute before the armistice took effect. He's the main character, and he didn't live to the end.
"All Quiet on the Western Front" is adapted from the classic novel of the same name. It was filmed once in 1930 and received a reputation of 8.9 points. It was filmed once in 1979 and received a reputation of 8.3 points. This version in 2022 has been adapted into a movie for the third time, and the word of mouth actually has a score of 8.9.
remakes are generally easy to overturn, but "All Quiet on the Western Front" has gained a high reputation, perhaps because of the solid story of the original novel itself.
focuses on the first world war , but can extend the thinking to all the wars that have occurred in human beings, because the process of distorting human nature is similar.
The war can always turn a boy with light in his eyes into a walking corpse with no light in his eyes. The lost soul cannot be found even after the war is over.
I feel that this movie adopts a closed-loop narrative mode.
started out as a pair of battlefield partners charging into battle, and eventually both died. Their bodies were buried, and their clothes were collected in the rear, washed and distributed to young soldiers about to go into battle.
Paul just received this dress, and he and his friends are also sent to the battlefield.
However, since there is no mention of the cruelty of war in China, only brainwashing, so war is like an exciting game for Paul.
backfired. Paul, who went to the battlefield, soon saw flesh and blood flying, and his friends were killed one after another.
He became a numb veteran under the domination of war. From the beginning, he still knew why he was fighting, but in the end he had lost his direction and goal, and he only knew how to charge and fight mechanically on the battlefield.
knew fewer and fewer people around him, and Paul's spirit became more and more broken.
Before the armistice was signed, there was only one friend left by his side. After the armistice was signed, a few hours before the armistice, his last friend was shot and killed for stealing goose. There was still a minute before the armistice, Paul stabbed to death by the enemy.
The young man who was rescued by him and just went to the battlefield is doing what Paul did at the beginning, which is collecting the identity cards of the dead soldiers.
The military uniform he was wearing was exactly what Paul's group of soldiers wore. This young man was just like the original Paul, from fiery to insensitive.
A war, a cycle, human nature is constantly distorted, and reason is constantly lost. Under the deception of some people, the ignorant young people fell into the quagmire like this. The funny thing is that the hard work ahead is just for the arrogant dignity of some people.
The armistice agreement was signed, but the bald general still thought about using the blood of soldiers to preserve the dignity of his own soldiers in the remaining fifteen minutes. Sure enough, human life is nothing in front of some hateful conspirators.
When I watched this movie, I felt like my body was hollowed out, and the dull music made me fall into a huge void.
I'm especially concerned about Paul's comfort. He got through it for the first two hours, but in the last few minutes, he fell.
Maybe, there is no big reunion in the war, but as a bystander, I always ask for itcan end successfully.
The war has always been that some conspirators use human life as a stepping stone to their climb. They only care about their own interests, they never consider the feelings of the people, and they drag mankind into disaster with their own selfish desires. It is shameful and pathetic.
traces back the history of human wars, which war should have happened? Which war has the least losses? There are no winners in war.
I think, the beautiful country will probably never understand, unless it disappears from the earth, the world may be cleaner.
"All Quiet on the Western Front" is worth watching. If domestic filmmakers really want to make war films, please be more serious, because war is not fun at all, let alone passionate.
