Finally, of all places, Netflix has given us a decent and picturesque anti-war movie.
The film has almost nothing to do with the book, however.

I was disappointed… the book and the older film are great.

Agree. Forget about the book. Just see the film as it is. It’s a great film that seems to capture the time very well.

Didn’t read the book but just watched the movie. The entire time I kept saying this is exactly what ru is doing. Mobiks gladly going to war thinking glory. Get a severe dose of reality but doing nothing. My heart breaks for Ukraine and it’s people.

Watch it. All bloody bestiality of war in seemingly endless closeups until breathing finally stops. If you haven't hated Putin already, you will after watching it.

The movie doesn't follow the storyline of the book. However it does succeed in showing people what war is. It's hell. And from this angle it has everything to do with the book.

@coreleonidas

Yeah the politicial surroundings displayed in the film are not rooted in reality. And stuff like immidiate killings of deserters also didnt happen back then like that. Even the french who killed the most deserters during the war didnt do it like that

Hey @IAPonomarenko, when you are looking for quality entertainment, check out Babylon 5. It has lot of parallels to the current war and what Ukrainians are going through. It is long, but it pays off big time. Here's a great clip: youtube.com/watch?v=pJmuHN…

The German generals and soldiers share a lot in common with the Russian forces in Ukraine Instead of Paris, they thought they’d march on Kyiv And just the same, they’ll lead many more young men to their deaths before realizing they’ll never win

Comandante

@ComandanteDuro

Not sure whether the film has almost nothing to do with the book. To me it was very impressing. In the end, it is about the pointless position war. During the whole war, frontlines only changed few hundred metres back and forth, but millions of soldiers died. Pointless.

@NewbluemoonArts

Beautiful cinematography. I hear they got the look of trench warfare right--very gritty, scary stuff. Hand-to-hand fighting looked real. The futility of that conflict was captured well. I bet it's banned in Russia 😏

Both the book and the original movie from the 30s are better. A lot better. Disappointing, since, in general, German war movies are superior to Hollywood’s. Gorgeous cinematography, though.

@RobertTCornwell

Even so it is an amazing film, better in German. It gives what I feel is a realistic view of the hell all sides went through. My great grandfather fought against these guys in the Arden. By the end there was no trees left.

Thomaso Frankeso

@TFrankeso

Actually Maria Remarque wasnt in the frontline troops. Therfore the things he wrote were never his direct experience. Thats why i never read the book. Instead I strongly recommend to read Ernst Juengers "In Stahlgewittern" (storm from steel) or better his diaries.

@cat_fynn

I saw this movie and was totally blown away. War is horrible. No other way to describe it. Folks who want to bring fascism back and who wish to start wars need to see this. They obviously have no idea what they are actually starting.

Best anti-war movie so far, also a book by Väinö Linna, The Unknown Soldier. Original or any of the remakes will do.

Did they make significant plot deviations from the book? I still remember reading it in high school and watching both movies. Haven’t seen this one yet.

@denismuto21

I read the book but idk if the movie was so much anti war to be honest. I think it glorified it a bit. And shared the nazi propaganda that the idea of the treaty of versailles lead to world war 2. Still an amazing increíble movie. But anti war? Not really.

Worth it, already watched the 1979 version to compare. It has several differences, but understandably, since they would assume a lot of people already watched the previous versions and needed something different.

It's time for big budget films about the war of Russian aggression in Ukraine. The war doesn't have to end to start making movies about it. That's what happened in WWII.
