The film is adapted from the classic novel of the same name written by Erich Maria Remarque. It tells that during the First World War, Paul Baumann and his classmates Lyle and Miller participated in the German National Volunteers. Sent to the front to fight the French. On the battlefield, they witnessed brutal starvation, bloodshed, and death, and the absurdity and ruthlessness of war drove Paul from war obsession to discouragement.

The first and most glorious bloom of human industrial technology - in the First World War.

We use the bullets fired by the meat grinder to smash the flesh of the same kind, we bombard the heads of the same kind with the shells of the tin machines, and we use the flamethrower to bake the same kind of skin into black tar with the strong smell of gasoline.

If we can sit down and have a good talk, no politics, no history, no elders' grievances.

may find that we like to listen to the same style of songs, chat with the same type of girls, like to eat the same taste of food, and like to drink the same brand of beer.

Because we were all babies conceived in October, and our mothers struggled to bring us into the world. We all had a happy childhood and adolescence. We are all sons, husbands, and fathers to some cute kid or cute kitten. We are all human, alive, fragile, and we will cry with pain even if we cut our fingers through paper—humans.

suddenly filled with smoke, he was standing in front of me with a gun in his hand, and the voice behind screamed for us to hate each other, let us kill each other. I could see the panic and confusion in his big eyes, and I knew I was too. Before my throat could shout...

"Coax!!!" The shells fell, blood and flesh mixed with mud and rained down. I mingled with his stump. At this time, no one remembers that we were babies, we were teenagers, and we had our own beautiful lives.

So, they may be arrogant, they may forget their ancestors, but unless they put a knife on my neck, that's not a reason for me to kill them.

I hope there is no war on the Eastern Front.

. The war makes everyone's life trivial

The opening ten minutes of the movie are one of my favorites. The

Western Front

title shows the brutality of war from the perspective of a soldier, Heinrich. One second, a comrade who cried out your name and begged you for help, the next second fell into a pool of blood with a face full of holes and arms and legs. On the battlefield, life has become so small and fragile, and the passing of life has become such an understatement.

When Heinrich's name appears in the subtitles for the first time, the audience will naturallyQuestion: Who is Heinrich? Is he the protagonist? Will he be the protagonist? Then the audience will immediately get the answer: No. Heinrich is just another nobody. Soon, like other dead comrades in arms, he will become the next ghost. After their death, their clothes were ripped off and sent to the army logistics department, where they were trimmed and washed by a group of sewing workers before being put on by the next group of soldiers. Through several consecutive clips we quickly learn that each garment is tagged with the soldier's name, and Heinrich is no exception, and this is the second time his name has appeared on camera.

It was the young soldier Paul who got Heinrich's uniform, and Heinrich's name tag was obviously not removed in time due to a mistake by the logistics department. Confused, Paul asked the officer if he had sent the clothes to the wrong person, but the answer he got was that the size of the clothes didn't fit Heinrich's, so he didn't wear them and just dropped the label. The officer took off the label and threw it into the trash can with an indifferent expression. This is the third time his name appears in the camera, and it is also the last time.

Paul

, who was excited to get the military uniform, and Paul, who was excited and looking forward to the war, how could he know that the seemingly brand-new uniform he got was actually covered with the blood of fallen soldiers? A soldier's life is as trivial as the tag on his clothes, and it disappears in the blink of an eye.

2. War turns living life into a cruel killing machine

When the protagonist Paul first appeared, he was a young man with flesh and blood just like his friends who were about to enlist in the army. He is full of a sense of mission and honor in the war, and can't wait to fight the enemy bravely for this country. At this time, his eyes were full of light.

Paul

, who is about to join the war, but the war is a slaughtering knife smeared with blood, slaughtering this fresh young man all over his body. After realizing that the war was not what he had imagined before, and the comrades beside him fell one by one, Paul became frightened, and his eyes were full of fear and cowardice.

First entered the battlefield

Until the eve of the armistice, the accidental death of his comrade-in-arms Kat, whom he had been with all the time, became the last straw that broke the camel's back. In the end, Paul had completely turned into a cold killing machine, and his eyes no longer shone with any light.

At the end of the plot, the German General couldn't swallow his surrender. In the last few minutes before the armistice came into effect, he instigated the soldiers to make last-ditch resistance, taking the enemy by surprise. Many soldiers who have seen the reality and are ready to go home are very dissatisfied with this order, but they dare not disobey the order and have to return to the battlefield. At this time, Paul's face was ashen and expressionless. He turned his head without hesitation, like a machine with a red eye. He was no longer the one who would feel the total loss of because he watched the French soldiers struggling to death. Love him.

Counterattack on the eve of the armistice

In addition to Paul's transformation, the death of soldier Tjaden also made my heart pound.

Tjaden saved his life, but lost his right leg, shattering his dreams of being a ranger. Paul and Kat brought food for Tjaden who was lying on the ground. At this time, Tjaden had lost hope of living, and stabbed the knife and fork in his hand to his throat. The panicked Paul and Kat shouted for help, but The dozens of soldiers around him were completely unmoved. The only one who reacted to this was the soldier who was staring at the food in Paul's hands from the very beginning. When Paul was anxiously helping Tjaden to hold down the wound, he silently picked up the food that Paul had thrown on the ground and ate it. , Facing the dead comrade-in-arms in front of him, there is nothing but indifference in his eyes.

The war is so cruel, everyone doesn't know if they can live until tomorrow, and who will care about the death of others? This is war, it turns everyone into a cold-blooded killing machine on the battlefield, and a cold-blooded animal that ignores the lives of his fellows on the battlefield.

3. All Quiet on TheWestern Front Silent Western Front

Actually, I don't really like the translation of "No War on the Western Front". The first time the

movie hits the spot is that just after the armistice was signed, the Western Front gradually became silent. Kat said to Paul, listen, the front lines are so quiet. Do you know what that means? That means the war is over and we can go home. Quiet in

Kat's mouth means the sound of artillery fire is no longer audible, the two sides cease fire, and the war is over. But apparently quiet here has another meaning, that is, the silence on the battlefield. The corpses are everywhere, the living have left, and the dead can no longer leave. Their bodies are piled up on the Western Front and there will be no more sound, this is the silence of the extermination brought on by the war.

The movie ends without any background music when the end credits are played. Everyone in the theater held their breath and dared not speak, for fear of breaking the silence.

This is the real silent west front.

4. Inheritance of fallen soldiers

has used items to express the memory and inheritance of fallen soldiers many times in the film. The first time

is in the opening credits where Paul is pulled to collect the dead soldier's lanyard. This is obviously to facilitate the statistics of each soldier killed. And Paul also found his friend's glasses in the mud pit, which was the first time Paul was hit hard.

comrades' glasses

The second time Paul watched the enemy die in pain, he was extremely disturbed and took out the letters and photos that the enemy had put in his lined pocket. But then when Paul asked Kat if he could speak French, he found that he had lost it.

Photo

The third time Paul ties the clothes his comrade Frantz got from a female passerby around his neck. The fourth time

is at the end of the credits, when a young soldier is asked to collect the badges of the dead soldiers, he takes off the clothes hanging from the neck of the dead Paul and re-tied it around his own neck. Every place in

means the departure of one life, while the other life is carrying more and moving forward.

5. Comparison of "The Western Front" with other anti-war films

is first compared to the other two versions of All Quiet on the Western Front. The original novel by

is by German writer Erich Maria Remarque, published in 1929. The first two versions of the film, in 1930 and 1979, were produced by Beautiful Country, and the former won the Oscar for best picture and best director that year. In 1930, due to the prevalence of Nazism in Germany, the Germans at that time had little chance to experience the shock of the 1930 version of the film. Then in 1933, the original novel and the film were banned by the Nazi government. So this 2022 edition is the first German-language adaptation of the original.

I personally haven't seen the first two versions, so I can't judge the quality of the play. But one thing is certain, thanks to today's developed film special effects production, the visual effects of this film must be a huge advantage compared to the first two works. What impresses me deeply is that the protagonist Paul encountered a series of bombings by the enemy when he fought on the Western Front for the first time. Everyone was hiding in the trenches. At that moment, it was as if his body disintegrated in an instant. Even before the audience could see his torn apart, he instantly disappeared in front of us. The visual shock brought by this modern big screen obviously more vividly shows the violence, barbarism and bloodshed of war.

In addition, this movie can easily be compared with movies such as "1917", " Saving Private Ryan ", " Bloody Hacksaw Ridge " and so on.

I personally feel that the biggest difference between "Western Front" and the other anti-war films listed above is that "Western Front" pays more attention to describing the war on a macro level. The characters of the film, such as Paul and Kat, are more Much as an enrichment and complement to this theme. Relatively speaking, in this film, the presence of the characters is not prominent, and there is no personal highlight like in "Blood War" and "Rescue".The connection between the main character and the audience is also relatively weak. On the contrary, the film highlights the unpredictability of war and the insignificance and helplessness of individuals.

In addition, I think the narrative of this film is weak compared to the other films. Only about half of the entire movie is narrative, so the middle part will look a little dull. The whole film emphasizes an immersive war experience, so that every audience can experience the cruelty of war and Paul's pain.

6. Behind every war is inseparable from the promotion of a group of war madmen.

can get similar inspiration from various anti-war movies.

Do the generals of the German army really think that the counterattack in the ten minutes before the armistice came into effect will bring victory? He just can't swallow this breath. In his eyes, soldiers should die for the country. This is the glory of war. What is life in the face of national interests? Such thoughts have poisoned generations of young people, sending waves of fuel to the war, one after another, and corpses everywhere.

Every contemporary young person should be wary of the restoration of militarism populist ideology. The battlefield has never been glory, just selfish interests and the loss of countless innocent lives.

A good pie is a fart pie, and participates in various activities with high spirits. Will I be ashamed of myself then? Yes, but in the environment at that time and under the guidance of propaganda and public opinion, how much truth can ordinary people see and how much of their own ideas can they have? If I make a mistake, I will forgive myself. Angle is a terrible thing, it can give you two completely opposite experiences. In 1895, the movie machine was manufactured, and in 1928 the first sound film came out. "All Quiet on the Western Front", produced in 1930, may not have more skills and a luxurious lineup than the current blockbuster, but it is very infectious. The film uses the perspective of young soldiers to experience a war. The war is no longer full of various meanings, but just facing death, parting, fear, hunger... The purgatory on earth makes people crazy. The childish, energetic student soldiers were starving to find food, were scared crazy, and were bombed to death one by one, missing their arms and legs, but they were so genuinely full of nostalgia for life; the enemy was really so hateful ? In the arms of the enemy who was accidentally killed by the protagonist, there were pictures of his wife and children. Why are we tearing each other apart? This is a successful anti-war film, and if the movie theaters were full of it, no one would go to the battlefield. But that's not the case. In fact, most of the movies around us are heroic. The enemy is to destroy one to protect the capital, and to destroy two is to earn. In the hotly discussed " Chibi " (Part 1), how many Cao Jun were shot by arrows, slashed with knives, and stabbed to death in the gossip array. Are you touched? No, I am secretly happy for the Liu-Sun coalition to win more with less. The fallen should shed blood. Behind everyone is a family with countless crying eyes. We have never experienced these pains, even though the fallen are countless. why? Because of different angles, each deceased person has not been humanized and displayed, and in the film it has become a diluted symbol of lifelessness. And the films, books, speeches that advocate patriotism and forget about the ego in order to achieve the great ego of the country... will definitely make the young people's blood surging, enough to make them stop thinking and just follow the direction of the banner. In the opening chapter of "All Quiet on the Western Front", the teacher wearing glasses, his voice trembled, and emotionally preached these to his students, and in his sensational narrative, the students were really eager to join the army and joined the army one after another. Why is this kind of blind enthusiasm in people so easy to mobilize, when it is true that a lie becomes the truth after being repeated N times? Milan. Kundera 's " Laugh and Forget " satirizes the crowd dancing around the square, SolzhenitsynSome people question great-power chauvinism. Literary work is always just a tool, it can fulfill various needs and brainwash people. We'd better be more exposed to avoid poisoning ourselves with a single message. Can I not be patriotic? Can I ignore the country when it needs me, as long as I live a better life? Can the country ignore the needs of every single individual and place the interests of the illusory term of the country infinitely high? This is a question

War seems to be a kind of social action that only human beings have. In the final analysis, it is only to plunder resources that they do not need to satisfy their greedy nature. War is cruel, it makes human life like a mustard, life and death become so blurred, in many cases death is simply a kind of black humor (the soldier who was hit by the steel helmet in "Saving Rennes") ; War is absurd, it can break all conventional laws, break all value standards, break all ethics, it can make a capitalist who was originally mercenary into a life-saving angel ("Schindler"), it can also make the original Innocent children who were supposed to be youths full of ideals became terrifying killing machines ("Heaven Now"); war is a lie, and the rulers of the country, for their own benefit, concocted countless beautiful lies to enslave innocent people Acting as cannon fodder, and the helpless civilians have to use the same beautiful but helpless lies to try to protect the people they cherish (" Beautiful Life "); war is more of a scam, there are no heroes at all, no great victory , there is no sense of pride, only the endless abyss of losing home, losing loved ones, and losing oneself. I never liked war, whether it was the so-called "righteous side" or the "evil side", because in any case, the benefits of victory always belonged only to those ruling classes who would not go to war at all, and who exploited them in wars The blood and sweat of the people, after the victory, sit back and enjoy the success, and continue to enslave the people as "victors" and "peace restorers". For some reason, a fable suddenly came to mind: Once upon a time, there were two pig farmers living next to each other. The rich pig farmers rob all their pigs. The children and grandchildren of the rich pig farmers are no match for the children and grandchildren of the poor pig farmers. Seeing that their property is about to be taken away by others, the parents of the rich pig farmers think about it. Pay attention, he said to the pigs at home: "Others came to rob us, just to rob you and kill you, so everyone should stand up and resist for their own lives and the invaders. The pigs heard it and thought it was reasonable. , so they all rushed out to help the owner to resist, and finally repelled the robbery of the poor pig farmers with the advantage of quantity. The pigs were very happy, thinking that they would be able to live a happy and peaceful life. Happy, at the same time to celebrate the victory, the family killed several of their own pigs for a celebration feast, and will always kill pigs regularly in the future to commemorate this hard-won victory. At the end of the story of "Western Front", Katczinsky is in a trench When reaching out to catch a butterfly, he was shot and killed by the enemy. The hope of every civilian is as good as the butterfly. Unfortunately, their fate in the war can only be pigs.

Xianjing original work, a novel published by a German in 29 years.

Oh my god, it was written by a German in 29 years. In the year of

, the world officially began an economic crisis, Germany’s economy and politics were in a mess, and Hitler’s NZdang began to gradually get more votes... The original author of

published an anti-war novel, which is about a story from more than ten years ago. war.

World War I is probably the worst war in history. According to the Chinese history book, it was a dog-eat-dog war without justice.

We bastards don't care whether it's just or not, let's go back to the story. I haven't read the original novel by

, nor the old black and white version, but this 79 remake alone has given me enough shock. In the story of

, everything is so simple and completely from the soldier's first point of view.

started from high school graduation, the principal who loves the motherland, who is keen to honor your father, passionate classmates, everything tells you how glorious it is to fight for the country, how vulnerable the two countries next door are, and will collapse immediately...

again Going to the army school to take a good step every day, this, this, this is just like our own life, the same. . .

everything is so simple, everyday.

After you actually mentioned a gun and went to the battlefield, several of your classmates died and you were injured.

came home one day and looked at my sick mother in bed, hey, I was not injured, the front line was well-fed and well-dressed, and there were few battles, so you can rest assured.

No matter how painful it is, you have to swallow it yourself! Don't let mom know!

But you still have to tell your mother about the death of your classmate?

This is good, the aunt cried like a ghost, can't tell her how miserable her son died?

, aunt hates you, why are you still alive and her son died?

you swear to me! Swear he died without pain at all!

swear by your own life!

If my son didn't die, you died in the trench with me too!

I'm rough, can you make this oath?

Well, for the poor aunt's sake, I'd rather curse myself to death than make another mother sad.

yes, you swore that her son died quietly and peacefully, if not, the oldI won't come back next time I go to the battlefield!

You start to hate war.

, but your father is proud of you and took you to see his uncle, your uncle.

good guy, his uncle, your uncle is more belligerent than the Kaiser. When you meet him, ask how the battle is going? How's your morale? I can't wait to go to the front to direct myself.

You just pouted, "These old men, I have never seen human blood before, if you have the ability, you can do it yourself. It is neither you nor your son who died."

originally wanted to see the principal, but when the principal saw you, he was very happy, "Our class is promising! All of them are predators! Everyone is doing well! By the way, how is the battle? How's the morale?"

Okay, these Old man, it's all the same. You're not happy when you hear it. You say that several of your classmates have died. How do you see the principal's reaction? "Who's dead? Oh, he? He's dead, he, he can't, I already know. Then, how is your morale?"

You are even more unhappy, you must hurt him, morale is not good Why, I was very passionate and honorable at first, but now I find that life-saving is the most important thing.

eh, everyone looks like this. When you go back to your hometown, this is the result. If you know that you won't be back, these uncles and aunts are afraid that they can't stand it if they say it seriously, but they are still struggling if they say it lightly. Have you ever seen a battlefield? ? Did you kill anyone? Have you heard how the dead scream? Have you ever talked about a dead man with no arms and no legs? Have you seen how your brother died? ...Hey, thinking of those brothers, let's go back to the battlefield.

has gone...but I really can't come back... The

movie was made by an American, but the original was written by the Germans themselves after all.

and still 29 years.

The first battle has just passed, the war is cruel, and it is lost.

German old men at that time would definitely not admit defeat. Come on, young man! If I were not old, I would definitely be the first!
