"Tough, unromantic story of World War I, told from the viewpoint of the ordinary German soldier in the trenches."@en
"At the outset of World War I a group of German schoolboys, fired by patriotism, enlist for the Fatherland but are ill-prepared for the realities of trench warfare. Milestone sought to convey Remarque's pacifist message through a mixture of stylisation and naturalism. The poetic dialogue combines humour and sentimentality. The much-praised sense of reality in the recreation of trench warfare was achieved through unusually precise pre-planning and the harnessing of camera movement to swift cutting."@en
"Remake of the 1930 classic, this is the tragic tale of a group of German recruits during World War I, whose patriotism soon turns to disillusionment."
"A slogan-chanting teacher inspires a nineteen-year-old German boy and his friends to enlist. When they reach the blood-soaked battlefields of World War I, they discover that war is actually gore, not glory. They are taken under the wing of an older veteran, but even he cannot save their lives as they crawl through the mud; engage in frenzied hand-to-hand combat; and dodge shells raining death from the skies. They had arrived inspired boys; the ones who survive go home having lost a part of themselves forever. Adapted from the classic novel by Erich Maria Remarque, which revealed the utter devastation and tragedy of any war."@en
