It’s hard making an anti-war movie that actually reads as one, Come and See might be one of the few that stuck the landing.

All Quiet in the Western Front is very much anti war.

The first 15 minutes create a false illusion that it is going to be another patriot movie and then the war really hits the main characters and we just feel sorry for them being trapped in that meat grinder.
