Shockingly brutal and honest anti-war film, especially considering when it was made. It's both funny and moving, and has some very human characters who go through real trials and tribulations. Excellent. Holds up far better than I ever expected.

Really superb. Grabbed me from that audacious opening shot pulling back from parade to classroom, and doesn't really let up for the remainder. Beautiful camera work and cinematography, and of course the story and the characters are timeless and compelling.

Based on the spectacular contemporary novel by Erich Maria Remarque.

You can see its influence on Paths of Glory to Saving Private Ryan and every modern war film. Thrilling stuff. The ending is powerful.

**A challenge to watch the most popular film on letterboxd from each year, starting from 1930** :film_frames:

1930 - _All Quiet On The Western Front_ was an amazing surprise. I didn’t expect a film from 1930 to feel this poignant, self-aware and bold. The issues raised in this film about the pointlessness of war make for some of my favourite dialogues in any war movie I’ve watched. The depiction of the life of a soldier in its different stages offered some much refreshing realism in an era (the one we’re currently in) where war epics have become increasingly glamourised and romanticised. The humour throughout was so sweet and made the tragedy even more heartbreaking in comparison. A fantastic movie!

This holds up incredibly well for a movie almost 90 years old. The effects and sound design make war absolutely terrifying. It's really well shot and brings you right into the action.
