All Quiet On The Western Front Page #8

Synopsis: 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.

in one day.

Ah, we'll surely see each

other again, Kat.

Remember that day when you brought

the whole pig into the factory?

And that day in the woods when you

taught us how to dodge shells?

And my first bombardment.

How I cried.

I was a young recruit then.

Here we are.

Here we are.

All right now, Kat.

You could've spared yourself

the trouble. He's dead.

Oh, no. He's just fainted.

He was hit in the shin.

He's dead.

Would you like to take

his pay book?

- You're not related, are you?

- No, we're not related.

Your deal. Get his name

and number?

Yeah, Corporal Stanislaus

Katczinsky, 306.
