I remember reading Erich Maria Remarques book as young. It hit me like a fist in solax plexus. Since then I have hated war & violence.
Soon Edward Bergers remake from 2022 of maybe the best anti-war movie and story ever ’All Quiet on the Western Front’ comes to Netflix. See it. Yesterday it won a Bafta for best film – plus six more Baftas. It will sweep also the Oscars Academy Award in a few weeks. Amazing film.
’This is neither an accusation nor a confession and least of all an adventure. For death is not an adventure for those who stands face to face with it”
Erich Maria Remarque
This movie is showing what war really is about and it is released very timely. No sane person can start a war after seeing this film.
