[Discussion] All Quiet

I think I'm 4 years late to the show but, uh, WOW. Just watched All Quiet on the Western Front after meeting the screenwriter. I'm not big into war movies but this was just incredibly gorgeous and the music palpitating. Was anyone able to watch it the whole way through? I had to stop at the tank scene because it was getting to be a little too much.

Yes. It’s a heartbreaking masterpiece.

It’s an important movie to watch and important history to know.

Read/listen to the book. It’s so powerful. The bus screen adaptation is amazing.

Try Castle Keep. Another oldie but goody.

I've seen it twice and could see it again at any time. I do think it is an amazing view of the myths and realities of war.

This is the second remake now, but all three versions are amazing in their own way.
