I dont think it portrais the "as it really is" aspect so well. It is missing out a lot of the things that happened in the book and older movies that really made the trench life stand out. here the trenches are only shown for the big battles. but they leave out the daily grind completely. They also only show us a glimse of the true horror of artillery shelling. it was constant and like a never ending storm at times. they also only show 1 or 2 grenades, while german storm troops used them in bag loads. the flame throwers also had a lot longer range and wouldnt come 5 meters infront of the target. There are many of such small details I could mention here. So overall they sacrificed some parts of real warfare to present more horror. A good choice to support the anti war theme, but it is changing the perception of reality a lot. I strongly suggest you watch the old movies and read the book, so you understand what I mean. This movie is good, dont get me wrong, but it also missed out on some potential here and there.

@@Philtopy I completly agree. Some of the choices are understandable but i really dont unterstand why they would cut out the long artillery shellings. They are such an important part of the trench life and are also the perfect symbol for one of the central themes: how the men are powerless against technology and how mainly luck determines whether you live or you die. Also it would have made for amazing cinema. I would have really liked to see them especially since the entire movie looks so goddamn beautyful.

I cannot recommend this movie enough. Well done, an excellent film.

I was 8 yo when the 1979 version made-for-TV film aired. Since that day that has been my favorite war movie. I was very excited to view this new version. But, I think my love for the '79 version really influenced how I felt about this film. IMO '79 film was by far the best of the 3, most won't agree due to the lack of modern technology. I really wish this 2022 version stuck with the original (book) storyline. No boot camp, No home leave for Paul, No real character development (you were able to see them become war hardened over a year or two of combat) other than Kat and Paul (and a tiny bit of Tjaden). I did like the twist relating to how Kat was killed by the farm boy and really liked the cinemaphotography and ominous music. But the way Paul dies in the waning minutes of the war in the '79 version (innocently sketching a bird) was much more impactful to me. This version makes it seem like Paul was only on the front for months instead of years. The older film had them fresh, new recruits wearing the pickelhaube and then issued the stahlhelm another transformation that showed the extent of their time on the front. I also really did not care for the tank and flamethrower scene. Seems like they tried to showcase the advancement of warfare all into one short scene, and it felt forced.

Well done. More films like this to help us remember what is important.

As a French, and as a French whose family has been deeply impacted by this war until today, I was totally silent at the end of the movie (I read the book as well, it has haunted me for years), because I felt very sad. There is no irony here. I'll never understand why we did this to each other. What a nightmare. My heart is broken for Germany.

Watched All Quiet on the Western Front (1979) along with Goodnight Mister Tom (1998) films when I was 13 for English class. They really stuck with me my whole life and was my first exposure to the ugly side of war. I'm sure this film would educate the next generations in the same way.

The uniform recycling was masterful. If you were born a male in 1890's Western Europe you were fertilizer. The story captures that perfectly. Nobody survives. A whole generation sacrificed.

Pretty much. I actually thought that they were going to spare Paul.

I am French. I have read the book when I was 13 and it stayed with me until today. This movie is a masterpiece. The scene in which Daniel says "bitte schön. Wir bleiben hier", I will never forget. I am so sorry Germany, my very dear Germans... I feel guilty because my family has been deeply impacted by this war until today, and I never fully realised how catastrophic it was for you too. Please forgive me. So proud and honoured to be your ally and friend.

I enjoyed the movie, as the cinematography was gorgeous (especially considering it was low budget and not extremely well known actors) However, they did leave out key elements from the book that I found interesting. The part when Paul returns home on leave and discovers that people are oblivious to what is going on at the front, still under the patriotic spell that it is a valiant adventure where men have their mettle tested. There is a scene where he grabs a drink reluctantly with others at a cafe and he describes how irritating it is to listen to them speak. During this part of the book, there is a pivotal moment where Paul confronts the school headmaster who essentially was the reason he and his friends joined the war effort. In my opinion it is a very important part of the story. Paul really gets to say his piece here. Overall his trip home is incredibly depressing, as the war effort has put incredible strain on the home front as well. Coming home to his mother who is dying of cancer just to give her his limited rations given that they can barely afford food as it is. And the inclusion of the political aspect in the movie (armistice signing), which was not in the book, I thought was unnecessary. The armistice was of course of huge historical importance and surely was the only end to the suffering and senseless loss the book constantly eludes to, but the book’s driving force is the characters and how they perceive and experience the war. Adding the scenes (while good and well acted), actually takes your attention away from the main characters and changes the subtly of it. Overall a great film and a hard hitting, timeless story. Read the book if you haven’t. It’s easy.

I personally think Daniel bruhl is the most talented actor in cinema today, he is magnificent as far as I am concerned.

Just watched half of this incredible movie. I needed to digest the honesty of this film slowly and will watch the other half tomorrow. It's very intense. I was in the infantry many years ago, with a bunch of other "kids" who were typically from broken homes or poverty. Nobody with any money joined the army for sure. More than any other war movie, this masterpiece truly exposes the stupidity of war and yet manages to properly portray the shattered innocence of these soldiers as they experience the emotional and physical realities of violent death and loss. This is a far better movie than "1917" which appeared to be just a bunch of emotional vignettes cobbled together rather poorly. Well done.

I am waiting anxiously 😍

The film is absolutely spectacular, highly recommend

I watched the 70s version in hs world history class this one will probably be thrown on during rainy days for many years as well

What I like about the movie: Its very shocking, very graphic and really shakes you to the core. What I dont like though is that the movie diverts so much from the original. it doesnt focus enough on the individual characters like the original. They sacrificed the character development of these young boys and their mindset and upbringing for more plot exposition to present the contrast between the upper classes and lower classes. not my prefered choice, but they made enough of it well that I think its a good work overall.

So far...the detail looks great!

The film was visually stunning and the story harrowing, but also deeply disappointing as an adaptation of the classic novel. The story has nothing in common with the book save a few characters’ names and some token references. As a result the characters feel hollow and their ultimate fates feel weightless. Furthermore, the most important scenes in the book are missing and the few scenes that did make it in are out of place. For example, the dramatic scene with the French soldier takes place after the main character has killed several times. The film is impressive but it feels like the filmmakers were trying to tell a different story and simply used the name of the iconic book for marketing purposes.

While at first I was a bit shocked, they let old Himmelstoss out and also Paul´s home leave, I understood that they instead invited politics as a counterpart to what the men had to go through in the trenches and also to stress a sense of urgency in the build-up of the final. So we are trading elements, that would actually make the watcher warm up to the main character for a better understanding of the overall conflict. I think, it worked though. This movie´s Paul...we hardly find time to actually get to know the guy, which again contributed to a sentiment, that you wouldn´t want to get to know any of them better, because pretty much everyone knows what´s coming anyway. It can´t be easy to make another adaptation pf a book, knowing, that one of the predessessor movies has been a reference for movie making for 90 years now. You still work with the same original material, but need to shift focus and make a quite different movie. Because noone wants to have two very similar takes on the same subject and you want to be seen as a unique, independent film maker yourself. Try to look at it more from this perspective.

And if that´s not enough, feel free to tell anyone, they better watch the other versions. I´ll stick with my point, that THIS version might be more about the questions "What does war do to people and which role does politics play in it". If you are more interested in the question "How do people get so brainwashed that they gladly go to war for whatever reason?" (which is certainly an equally interesting approach), I can see why the former two movies do more for you. It´s really not much of a thing (unless you make it one). Just a slight shift in focus.

War follows us sometimes..my British grandfather was wounded there and saved by a German soldier..i wonder who he was..Danke soldaten.

This is why band of brothers and the German version (generation war) remain my two favourite war movies/shows as it doesn't give plot armour or anything it jjst shows how it was and that when the shit hit the fan politics went oit the window and it was about the man next to you and the trust you put in each other. Movies like this show the true side of war that 95 percent of men witnessed

They really hit the mark with this movie *by the time Paul is ready and willing to engage in that violence; it’s not bc he has heart. But because he’s genuinely fucked up and it was heartbreaking*

Although technically correct that this is the first German language version of the film, there were actually two versions of the 1930 original. There was the English language version and there was also a silent version for cinemas that couldn't yet play "talkies". The silent version would have text boards in the language of the country that it was shown in, including German.

Why produce another film of a book - especially if the last installment already was great in all story-aspects? Because money.
