TONY'S MOVIE REVIEW: 'All Quiet on the Western Front' Puts Us Front and Center in the Battlefield

 

Germany's entry to this year's Oscars, 'All Quiet on the Western Front' is a brutal depiction of what happens in a war and it was quite an uneasy watch for me since the movie's director decided to bring the fighting needed in this movie front and center.  I was tempted to press forward many times but I stuck with my guns, pardon the pun and absorbed the movie's quiet moments, its funny moments, and all the gunfire and explosion scenes while the family had its post New Year dinner LOL

This is the first movie I have seen in 2023 and will qualify for My FABE Movie Awards for 2023 already, as I use the calendar year as a rule.  Anyhow, this is an impressive movie, and we were all heartbroken as we watched one of the soldiers lose his life AFTER the armistice was signed.  It gets even more sad when an idiot leader forces his already very tired troops to one last fight.  I guess the director's point after watching this all is that no one ever wins in a war - and he drives it like an arrow straight to our hearts.  For our generation who has been lucky never having to engage in a real war, we fully understand the folly of dying of honor for one's country when your leaders are ensconced in the comfort of their homes - safe, warm, and smug.
