    For a moment there was silence… silence so loud that I felt every beat of my heart and the unevenness of my breathing. The landscape swallowed us all as the world moved on. In the end, no one, neither us nor the world, ever returned to what it once was. But we were left behind. An early anti-war work of cinema that manages to remain timeless, not only through its frontline battle sequences, but through the fragile humanity etched into the faces that struggle to keep their composure throughout the film. And that facade fractures after every single battle. Milestone’s depiction of war works with such power, almost effortlessly, because it renders war increasingly mechanical, again and again, until only…

    World War One was a barbaric waste of human life, just to keep European colonialism and imperialism afloat. All Quiet on the Western Front comes from an era before World War Two, when the consequences of that earlier war were still strongly felt. Partially the film stems from US sympathy for Germany after the war, but it acts as a blunt critique of all forms of war. All Quiet on the Western Front is very critical of those who profit from war, the governments and kings and manufacturers. Here was a war where ordinary people from so many countries were sent to fight just to please the powerful and their geopolitical interests. We must never forget it. All Quiet on…

    Raw and intense warfare mixed with a group of high school students. It’s as saddening and innocent as it sounds. As one of the earliest talkies and anti-war films, the realistic bombardment is visually impressive and distressing in its sound design. Despite noticeable technical flaws, there’s a handful of masterfully executed scenes. It left me stirred but overall heartbroken.

    35mm All Quiet on the Western Front is one of those movies that makes you wonder how human hands, limited by the technology of the era, could craft something so emotionally devastating and technically daring. Words can’t even comprehend how a movie made nearly a century ago still feels so spiritually alive with those sweeping battlefield sequences, the close-ups of young faces already carved by fear, and the sound design that feels like a distant echo of real suffering. There’s absolutely no doubt filmmakers have used this movie as a blueprint, consciously or not; its fingerprints are visible across decades of war cinema. Yet, despite its towering influence, we can’t allow it to fade into existence simply because of its…

    A brutal and immediate portrait of how horrifying a war really is. And we can still feel it to this day. This film strips the classic war film trope such as heroism and gave us what war truly is. It’s dirty, scary, exhausting and boys turning into bitter men after realizing they all died for nothing in the trenches in the name of their country and the promises of blaze and glory. Lew Ayres as Paul Bäumer and his emotional…

    Woke up, showered, got ready, went to school, then watched during free periods. I read the book before this, and to be honest I do prefer the book. however of the film adaptations to come from it, I think this is by far the best. it is the only film I’ve seen which is actually an anti war film. I absolutely love the ending as well.

    “But you’re just a man like me, and I killed you” It’s all the same as it ever was – War is spurred on by the rich and powerful and carried out by the poor and vulnerable. Nobody ever wins, nobody gains, and everyone is worse off. Watching this in 1930 after being in the actual War had to have felt like getting hit by a semi truck, and the fact we let it all happen over again just a…

    One of the movies – despite being almost a hundred years old – that allows you to see how foreign war truly is despite how natural it can feel. It reminds us that youth is wasted on the young, but because of the old. The final act is truly awe-inspiring. Those final shots retell the whole movie’s story in just a few seconds.

    I read the book yesterday so I wanted to watch the original film adaptation. As far as adaptations go it was pretty loyal to the source as well capturing the emotional weight. There were some scenes I wish had made the cut (Russian POWs) but overall the film was great even if I couldnt help but think of English class when ‘dulce et decorum est pro patria mori ’ was said.

    Wirklich erstaunlich, wie anders man eine Geschichte erzählen kann im Vergleich zur Verfilmung im Jahr 2022. Hier fällt der gesamte Strang mit der Verhandlung im Zug weg, was ich echt begrüßt habe. Die Sets, “Effekte” und auch die Hingabe der Schauspieler haben mir wirklich gut gefallen und waren beeindruckend. Dieser Film hat auch ein ganz anderes Ende, was in meinen Augen deutlich eindrucksvoller ist. Jedoch hat der Film auch maximal unnötige Längen, und das Schauspiel ist dann doch in einigen Sequenzen limitiert. Sollte man auf jeden Fall gesehen haben.

    Great war film, very depressing and does not shy away from the horrors and terror of war yet still somehow has time to introduce a colorful cast of lovable misfits just trying to make the best of what they have. These are fathers, brothers friends and children of loved ones forced to fight against people they do not know nor care to fight. I love when they discuss how to end war and they talk about how they should make…

    Uma mulher varre a sala da casa enquanto seu marido abre a porta da rua vangloriando as capturas de guerra de seu país. História de uma geração de alemães que enfrentam a primeira guerra mundial no campo de batalha. Questiona os motivos de guerra e o valor das consequências. Extraordinária cinematografia com produção de “poucos” recursos, excelente direção e fantástica capacidade de manter o espectador ligado mesmo sem uso de trilha sonora musical.

    An excellent film, albeit held back by the difference between it and the source material, as well as by the technology of it era. It slightly missed the target when it came to the tragedy of its source material, coming across less devastating and more mildy sad. Still good though!

    Para mim é de igual para igual com o remake em nível de qualidade. Lewis Milestone é um diretor excelente, e muito bom em direção com atores. Nesse filme tem atuações tão convincentes, que você até estranha para época, sendo que era uma época onde tinha atuações muito mais teatrais, nesse filme tem atuações mais humanas. E eu quero destacar a cena dos protagonistas esperando a sua vez de entrarem na batalha, debaixo de uma trincheira. É uma das cenas de terror mais bem feitas que já vi. Você fica aterrorizado juntos com os personagens. Filmaço! 9/10 Murilo RQ

    This probably rocked audiences from 1930 so hard. Like “This would kill a small Victorian child” vibes. Some of the shots I couldn’t believe were shot in the early 20th century. This film definitely pushed the medium forward. Genuinely think this was so far ahead of its time in a ton of technical aspects, but there are still plenty of scenes where the ‘film is just like stage plays’ mindset where it falls short. Overall, very impressive, and we always love an anti-war film. Does this pass the Bechdel test?: No

    Πώς γίνεται κάθε εκδοχή του τέλους της πλέον κλασικής αντιπολεμικής ιστορίας, είτε στο βιβλίο είτε στην οθόνη, να είναι τόσο σπαρακτική (σε καθεμία, το τέλος είναι κατά κάποιον τρόπο διαφορετικό). Προφανώς ένα επίτευγμα για το σινεμά της εποχής και μια ταινία που δικαίως έχει μείνει στην Ιστορία. Μπορεί κανείς να τη θαυμάσει και να την απολαύσει και σήμερα ακόμα, όμως δεν ξέρω αν υπάρχει λόγος (πέραν των αμιγώς ιστορικών) να επιλέξει κανείς αυτήν κι όχι την ομότιτλη του 2022.

Not that this has anything new to say about war that I haven’t heard already, but to be one of the earliest, one of the closest to the actual events, to use the still fairly young medium of cinema to shatter the romantic illusions of warfare and honour so bluntly and clearly,…

    Richard Cross 8 月 17, 2026

    The acting styles may be antiquated, but the battle scenes in Lewis Milestone’s Oscar-winning anti-war picture still pack a punch after almost a century. Lew Ayres delivers a career-making performance as Paul Baumer, one of a group of schoolfriends who enlist in the German army at the outbreak of WW1, little realising the horrors that await. By turns harrowing, melancholic and poignant, All Quiet on the Western Front is a masterpiece that is all the more remarkable when one considers it was made at a time when most filmmakers were still struggling to adapt to sound.

    Le mentor qui fait plus russe que germanique. Typique cinéma classique hollywoodien, autant dans ce montage rythmé qui découpe les séquences en laissant rarement les situations se poser. Que dans cette volonté constante de transmettre émotions/messages par les dialogues et moins par l’image (quelques fois c’est l’inverse). On peut souligner qu’aucun sujet n’est contourné : autant pour parler de cette méconnaissance des soldats concernant les instigateurs de la guerre et à qui cela concerne directement ; que pour cet endoctrinement…

    Whenever there’s a big war comin’ on, you should rope off a big field… And on the big day, you should take all the kings and their cabinets and their generals, put ’em in the center dressed in their underpants, and let ’em fight it out with clubs. The best country wins. The 2022 version was a lot more brutal, relentless and —for me— effective at showing the pointlessness of war. Probably just the result of +90 years of cinema…

    A very good or even great film that I’ll likely never watch again, and not because it’s harrowing so much as it’s exactly what you expect—through little fault of its own. In his landmark The American Cinema, Andrew Sarris makes a memorable close-reading comparison between two similar scenes in All Quiet on the Western Front and The Big Parade, finding Vidor superior to Milestone by almost mathematical logic. This has long stuck with me, and I’ve certainly tried to emulate…

    It was weird how not a single one of them had a German accent even though they were German soldiers and it looked weird when it looked like they were all moving in fast forward. Other than that though this was a fantastic film that portrayed the horrors of war perfectly but somehow all these years later we still haven’t learnt our lesson about war but hopefully maybe one day.

    I’ve read that this movie was regarded as the Saving Private Ryan of its day, and it indeed pulls no punches. The illusion of patriotism and glory being shattered as soon as the boys step into basic training is deeply sobering, and it only gets more agonizing from there.

    They lied; there were many moments the Western Front wasn’t quiet. This is unacceptable, misleading, deceiving, absolute malarkey. Instead, it should be called “all quiet on the Western Front except for moments of battle, arguments, war, then it becomes not-so-quiet, even loud at times, on the Western Front”

    This movie was a masterpiece. It best shows what World War I actually looked like and how people spent years in the trenches. The film also does a great job of telling the story of the characters’ friendship and their trauma—how, after spending so much time at war, a person can no longer live without it. It’s one of the best movies I’ve ever watched. I love the line :We have lived through three years, four years! Each day like a year, each night like a century! Our bodies are earth, our thoughts are clay, we sleep and eat with death!”

    The early sound era brought us one of the greatest anti-war films ever made, backed by impressive technical and narrative quality. Released just a decade after the First World War and nearly a decade before the Second, it communicates a powerful perspective on war and global conflict that we can still reflect upon today. No matter how excited people can feel about endorsing these clashes, for the ones in control, it is always just another quiet day on the western front…!!

    i really am a sucker for a ww1 story. it’s always so interesting to track the parallels between different tellings across history (such as my favorite novel, In Memoriam, as well as a recent read, At Night All Blood is Black) there were some shots that struck me with their composition, namely paul’s view from within the shell hole as well as any of the extended takes of running (which then reminded me of 1917) i was impressed by the writing,…

    В кино есть определенные элементы слёзавыжималки, давления на чувства (например, судьба сапогов товарища, которому ампутировали ногу); но если тезисы фильма, судьбы героев ленты крайне близки к существующим сейчас событиям, наверно это не вина фильма столетней давности, а человечества Понравилось, что фильм, как и книга, не сосредотачивается на одном элементе или локации, показывая различные стороны бессмысленного переламывание костей. Обилие персонажей не вредит повествованию, за счёт лаконичности коротких, маленьких сюжетов в одной большой истории складывается общее впечатление ужаса происходившего (и происходящего). Усиливается…

    Que nivel de producción para 1930, sin pantallas verdes sin tecnologia de computadores, la forma en la que transmiten cada escena al espectador. Es de no creer lo adoctrinados que estaban, el mismo profesor se encargaba de darles frases lavandoles las mentes, haciendoles creer que serian héroes para que fueran a la guerra. La devastación psicológica mientras avanza la guerra, donde se dan cuenta en la forma en la que estaban viviendo, conviviendo con ratas, muerte de compañeros, la falta…

    100 “I’m doing my part!” Precious cattle being whipped into a frenzy of the potential of glory, fooled by prospects of making history and heroism, by geriatrics who never have to worry about it, straight to the slaughterhouse. There’s something profound about the extremely bouncy and optimistic way the boys swallow everything they’re fed at the beginning until reality crashes down on them one by one, and the realization that some of them won’t come back (and the ones that…

    This movie is outstanding and enough people said that already, it’s truly a masterwork! So here’s just some particular scenes that stood out to me: I loved the scene in which they talk about how a war/this war is started and how they feel that they shouldn’t even be a part of it, because they don’t feel offended by another country. The people that gain things from a war don’t actually fight in it. So Kat (I believe) says all…

    J’ai préféré cette version à celle de 2022. Elle est plus intimiste, avec moins de batailles et davantage de moments de complicité entre les soldats. Ce choix me parle plus, le film laisse plus de place à son message anti-guerre qui paraît plus universel. L’horreur physique est suggérée plutôt qu’exhibée. On comprend la violence sans qu’il soit nécessaire de montrer des torrents de sang ou des corps mutilés. Du coup, l’attention est plus portée sur les personnages et leurs dialogues…

    Someone should have showed these guys Little Dark Age edits so they would realize that war is actually awesome. Real talk, sometimes old movies are kinda lame and that’s okay. Even though I can appreciating the significance of this story in its historical context, I gotta say: it kinda bores me. The action is decent (if not outdated) but the drama scenes just don’t do it for me. To me, it seems the character arcs have all been played out…

    İlk olarak 2022’de Netflix tarafından yapılan versiyonunu izlemiştim ve beni çok etkilemişti. Belki de Apocalypse Now’dan beri en çok etkileyen savaş filmi olmuştu. Çünkü küçücük telefon/tablet ekranından bana şiddetin dozunu ve savaşın akıl almaz korkunçluğunu geçirmek, şiddete karşı hissizleşmenin bu kadar arttığı bir dönemde büyüyen ve yaşayan biri için kolay değil. O muhteşem filmin orijinalinin de nasıl olacağını merak ettim. Ayrıca bu film direkt olarak Atatürk tarafından yasaklanan bir film ki izleyince Atam’ın yine çok doğru bir karar aldığını görüyoruz.…

    Ce qui est surprenant avec ce film, c’est de voir que cette pensée anti guerre n’est pas récente et même dans une Europe des années 30 meurtris par la haine la crise et le conflit récemment passé, des esprits rendent compte de l’absurdité d’une guerre. Cette prise de vue par une classe de jeunes accentue le message, nous n’avons pas affaire a un sage éclairé, mais a une jeunesse qui n’est même pas encore sortie d’école qui se retrouve face…

    Surprisingly intense battle scenes. The tone of the film felt a little disjointed at times, but the anti-war sentiment was effectively conveyed. Tbh my biggest issue is that I had trouble telling apart several of the protagonists, which blunted the emotional impact of their respective demises.

    it is what i expected and it still feels incredible. shocked at how good this looked and how well shot it was, it managed the terror and devastation brilliantly the earnest innocence and constant attempts at brevity make everything all the more devastating Katczinsky’s end is horrifying.

    Savaşın yıkıcılığını anlatan en iyi film. O kadar güzel bir filmki kaç sene önce çıkmış olduğu hiçbir şeyi etkilemiyor. Eşsiz bir yapım. Oyunculukların vasat olduğu yerler var ama önemi yok. Anlatmak istediği , gösterdiği ve hissettirdiği ile mükemmel bir film.

    Having watched the remake first, the original feels a bit clunky in comparison, even for the time. Americans playing Germans leaves something to be desired. But it’s of course enjoyable and stands on its own.

    i dont know why my review is showing up now when i watched this in december though i watched the 2022 version first, i still believe this movie is a powerful anti-war film that remains one of the most impactful portrayals of the brutality of war in cinematic history. it was based on erich maria remarque’s novel (which i still havent finished reading). the film offers a look at the experiences of young german soldiers during ww1. the film’s raw…

    ในประเทศ Germany ใช่ว่าทุกคนจะคิดเหมือนดั่ง Adolf Hitler ยังมีบุคคลที่มองว่า สงครามไม่ใช่ทางออกของปัญหา กระนั้นแนวรบด้านตะวันตก เหตุการณ์ไม่เปลี่ยนแปลง ก็มิได้สร้างความเปลี่ยนแปลงอะไรให้เกิดขึ้น นอกเสียจากคว้ารางวัล Oscar สาขาภาพยนตร์ยอดเยี่ยม, “ต้องดูให้ได้ก่อนตาย” raremeat.blog/all-quiet-on-the-western-front-1930/
