Print this page Inspired by the musings of their jingoistic schoolteacher, a group of young German boys enlists in the Army at the onset of World War I. Based on the classic novel by Erich Maria Remarque, the film captures the frustrations and futility of war through the eyes of these young soldiers.
As the stalemate of the Western Front continues to drive up the death toll, the boys are increasingly despondent. No longer sure of the line between right and wrong or friend and foe, they struggle to adjust to the harsh realities of war.
A beautifully filmed story, All Quiet on the Western Front shows the cruelty of the First World War, personalizing the differences between the idea of war and its reality.
