One of the most powerful anti-war films ever made
) 
From the novel by a German WW1 soldier, Erich Maria Remarque, this 1930 Oscar winning film features American actors playing Germans. It has a dated and naive quality at the start but as the film progresses and the highly realistic war scenes and the horror of the trenches are portrayed, we realise that this story could easily be about the young American soldiers in Iraq today. This film is as powerful now as it was when it was made, which was 12 years after the First World War and it still reminds us that there will always be young men willing to do the bidding of their political masters.
The fear and the futilty of war are the main themes of the movie.

All Quiet on the Western Front(1930)
) 1 of 2 people found this review helpful.
No other film has yet matched this beautiful film in showing the futility and waste of war. Written by a survivor of the Western Front in 1929, the book's forward mirrors the seniment of the film: "This book is to be neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it. It will try simply to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped its shells, were destroyed by the war.". The Nazis banned it.
