The war has passed, but the trauma that remains in people's hearts still exists. The light shadow witnessed the lonely souls piled up like mountains, and also accused the war fire under the cross.

The protagonist is a soldier, but the director strives to show the theme.
has long surpassed the general description of war scenes, but has given a heavy blow to the German upper-level conspirators.
shows the grand and cruelty of war, in order to oppose war;
renders the tearing and struggle of human nature, in order to reflect and examine human nature.
The movie soundtrack is grand and the pictures are exquisite, and it is one of the most successful war films in the remake.
(I got goosebumps when I heard the soundtrack. The best of the year deserves it. When can we make such a great movie?)
01, a soldier's perspective, and make a big fortune with the small.
In fact, as early as the 1930s, there was already a movie with the same name "No War on the West Front".
is considered the earliest film and television work adapted from Remake novel.
But after its release, the Nazis believed that this novel and movie, was a "betrayal of the German soldiers in World War ".
Therefore, this movie was banned in Germany.
At this time, someone said it.
If you think this is not good, then you can try taking a photo.
The new version of "No War on the West Front" was co-produced by Germany and the United States, and has been going on for 92 years.
is an explanation for the audience.
Compared with traditional large-scene war scenes, "No War on the West Front" is the entry point, and it is the most ordinary new recruit on the battlefield.
The protagonist is named Paul, and he is a college student at school.
He is sunny and cheerful, and he also has the ambition to serve the country.
The general environment at that time, in the third year of the outbreak of , the war broke out, and Germany and Britain and France fought.
In order to recruit new soldiers, the officers also called on young students to join the war with beautiful slogans.
So, the protagonists in the movie are all the young army of seventeen or eighteen years old.
Several students with Paul are also in a bright future.
was wearing a "brand-new" military uniform (actually the one who died in the battle) and was fully equipped.
They were far away from their hometown and relatives, and with hope, they rushed to the battlefield like Shura Field.
After arriving at the battlefield, the instructor trained them to "obey". The original ideals and innocence were also exhausted in the repeated rain of bullets and blood flowing.
The recruits went to the battlefield and were trembling all over. They wanted to survive, but were shot in the chest by bullets.
In order not to be killed and to save teammates, I need to stand up, become a flesh shield, and pick up the sword and gun.
The previous wave of warriors fell, and the next wave of warriors took turns to fight.
Several sets of details silently accused the crime of war.
The film is exquisitely shot, the soundtrack and art are natural, and several long shots, through the screen, make the audience feel shocked and real.
movies are made of big things with small profits, and the director's control of the camera and the purification of the theme are all excellent.
02, anti-war theme.
Director Cimino once said that good war movies are all "anti-war".
In the audience's impression, it seems that soldiers are steel bars and iron bones.
On the battlefield, there are soldiers who can't help but want to escape.
Even Paul has been timid and afraid.
For the soldiers, dying on the battlefield is not terrible. What is terrible is that they cannot see the future and fearless sacrifice.
One by one, the comrades fell down one after another, and those children who lived with him day and night were also young people under 20 years old.
Paul stabbed an enemy, but because the soldier held himself tightly before he died.
has different positions, but it is not wrong to remove the equipment and want to survive.
Paul gradually became indifferent, and he began to reflect on the meaning of war.
Although the truce agreement had been signed, at the last moment, the German officer wanted to fight for a breath because of his unwillingness and fearlessly lost the lives of more soldiers.
In the eyes of conspirators, they are just a number, one dies, and there is still a wave.
But for the loved ones, they are all in their lives.
The tragic and fierce battlefield, fearless death, satirized the "great meaning" mentioned by the conspirators.
also shocked the weak description of life.
03, the return of human nature and self-salvation are still bumpy.
Movies are not limited to the entertainment narrative of grand scenes, but only discuss the redemption and return reflection of human nature. No first-class director can do it.
The fierce trenches, broken streets, and burning houses all accused the tragic war.
There is no winner in war, only peace and love are the themes and perseverances that human beings will never fade.
The darkness of war can ultimately block the glory of human nature.
Even though corpses are everywhere, they have not lost their longing for their family and relatives, their longing for light and love when they are dying.
Paul and his comrades enjoyed the "stolen food" together.
Even if it is a raw egg, two people can share it directly. Eating it raw is a pleasure.
Paul was unable to go back alive after all.
At the beginning, he watched his comrades die tragically on the battlefield and took down their list as the final memorial.
Now, there is also the next wave of new recruits. Taking down his list has a lasting meaning.
Wish there will be no more war.
