The book was written by a man who was a German soldier. The main character was inspired by him specifically and if I recall correctly the scene with Paul in the hole with the Frenchman was a real thing that happened
War movies are getting better because most are now portraying historical facts & the real face of war, the blood, the guts, the psychological horror & terror. In the past many movies portrayed it as good v bad & it's a jolly old adventure.
@@BalrajTakhar-u7u The "Good vs bad and its a jolly old adventure" reminded me of how countries uses propaganda to get people to fight, it was most likely used in the medieval times how much that type of propaganda been used (And people still fall for them)
“Kropp on the other hand is a thinker. He proposes that a declaration of war should be a kind of popular festival with entrance-tickets and bands, like a bull fight. Then in the arena the ministers and generals of the two countries, dressed in bathing-drawers and armed with clubs, can have it out on themselves. Whoever survives the country wins. That would be much simpler and more than just this arrangement, where the wrong people do the fighting” ― Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet on the Western Front
Now, I'm not a fan of war movies in general. This all changed when I saw this movie. Never have I been able to experience such happiness, pain, sadness, regret, nor fear through someone else's eyes, and I think I would purely consider it to be beautiful. I truly believe that this is one of the best, 10/10 films that I have ever seen.
@@tilltronje1623 It's a good war movie because the best parts of it are actually anti-war. Like the whole premise. A whole bunch of guys need to risk life and limb just to save one other guy, because that's what you do in a war. Everyone suffers because war sucks big time, but you still gotta beat your buddy out. A rather strong anti-war message, don't you think?
@@ropeburn6684 I really don't think, no. The whole thing is nothing more than a heroic adventure mission. Saving a life because it's "the right thing to do"! Against all the oods! Against the backdrop pf the heroic allies saving the world from evil. Don't pretend that is anti war. Any suffering that occurs is literally just a plot device that makes the characters even more heroic by braving the cruelty and carrying on regardless. It's not final, nothing that stays with them. Tom Hanks doesn't even die against the tank ffs. And crucially: they succeed. That is not anti war at all
I'm German and My Great Grandfather (born 1889) was lucky to have been gassed during Verdun in 1916 because that made him unable to continue fighting and therefor he not only survived WWI but also managed to survive WWII without having to serve because of his French Gas Disabilities. Anyway, He lived until 1996 so i got to know him because i'm born in the mid 1980s. And he remained a Hunter but i remember one time during New Years Eve, one of our Neighbors went all out on Fireworks including using some questionable Polish or Czech "Böller" as we called them. And when that went off my then 105 year old Grandpa like 5 minutes after Midnight suddenly started shaking, threw up over our Table and then slowly get off his chair and very slowly move his old frail body under the Dinner Table, shaking uncontrollably and we were unable to talk to him until the next Morning. Meaning he was 105 years old and sat under that Table shaking from around 00:10am to 6-7:00am in the Morning. This experience was the Reason why i decided to become a Historian here in Germany and of course join the Military myself (having basic was mandatory when i turned 18) and i ended up serving 6 years including in Combat. I now focus on PTSD and other combat-related Psychological Issues. My other Relatives, especially my German WW2 Veteran Grandfathers and Granduncles helped me a lot with my Research as they mostly spent a ton of time in anti-partisan warfare and Eastern Front Combat. Just thought i share that because to this day, having been to Afghanistan myself 2 times i can say that PTSD and Combat in both WWI and WWII was far worse on the Psychology of a Soldier than what us Soldiers experience nowadays. Yet i would have never known with most WW2 Vets i met that they hat PTSD because it was such a Taboo when the War ended, they managed to put on a Mask and hide it very well. Prost & Cheers from the Bavarian Alps
I remember reading this book in high school, written by a German soldier, I saw this in a cinema , excellent anti war movie. I knew this would tear Vicki up.
Greetings from Germany, thank you for reacting to this heavy piece of cinema... actually, in German with English subtitles it feels a bit more authentic, but they did quite well here, with the dubbing, so it doesn't take much from the experience... A very tough movie to watch, indeed.. read the book and watched both movies of it before this, both great in their own style. In case you are up for an even more accurate despiction in a war movie, I'd recoomend you watching the (imo) best German movie of all times, "Das Boot" ... but if you go for that, please make sure to watch the German version with English subtitles, because there, they really fucked up the dubbing ;) take care and stay the same!
I agree with this statement. I’m more of a dubbed movie watcher because I have dyslexia and hate reading. But they really messed up the dubbed version of Das Boot.
Was lucky enough to catch this in a great cinema, and it was a very intense experience. And people were almost quiet walking out afterwards - everyone were in shock it seemed like. Truly one of the best anti-war movies made in a long time!
My German great-grandpa fought on the Western Front in WW1. He did survive but he got sick in the trenches and never got well again. He died a few years after the war when my grandpa was a young boy. My great-grandmother then washed towels for the village to keep them fed.
Milions of men were forced into the trenches, milions of men died in trenches. Those who came back would be look down upon, not understood by anyone, plagued with PTSD. No one can ever understand the burden these men went through.
Keep dreaming.. as long as america exists there will be war. It's america's biggest income without wars the US (as the biggest weapon supplier) would be bankrupt.
The General sipping on expensive drinks and smoking expensive cigars in "All Quiet on the Western Front" is based on a real General from World War 1, General Erich Ludendorff. He was considered a "butcher" during the war because his strategies were often high risk/high reward and it always ended up being extremely costly for both sides involved.
Thank you ladies for your authentic reactions to a movie about one of the most shocking times in European history. Having seen this you will appreciate "1917" and "Passchendaele" - not suggesting you watch them unless you want to put yourselves through similar levels of distress. I've been to Belgium where a lot of the combat on the Western Front took place and walked among original sections of trenches and marvelled at how much of the "iron harvest" (unexploded mines, bombs, shells, gas canisters, etc) is still being dug up over 100 years later. If you ever get to go to Belgium take a look around Ypres. It's a lovely old town that was right on the front line in the war and had five distinct battles fought around it, the most notorious being 3rd Ypres (Passchendaele). A lot of Canadians, New Zealanders, British and Australians buried there.
This whole movie is basically a man slowly descending into madness due to PTSD. PTSD is no joke. I have seen footage of WWI veterans who could barely walk upright. These men went through absolute hell and the way they were treated when they came home makes no sense whatsoever.
This movie fucked me up for a WHILE after I watched it. Granted, I've read a lot about the first World War so I kinda knew what to expect going in, but how exactly the story movies and the acting and everything is just done so well that it still hits you right in the gut with the emotions. I'd recommend watching it in German with whatever subtitles you're most comfortable reading though, the dubbed voice acting doesn't compare imo.
it did so for me too I was f***ed for weeks after the film is a true anti war film show your de'at'h in war for your country is mean'ingless shows your just a cog in the ma'chine of wa'r that's why I will never join the military because America my country is a imp'eri'alist col'oni'al power and it's po'wer and influe'nce is slowly f'alli'ng apart and china is set to become the next super power and the ne'o co'lo'nial west rn is in d'ecli'ne and one day africa and their people and all the other pre col'oni'zed countries will be free from the western powers gr'asp and ex'port'ation.
The Book is really good as well. This version of the film hits harder because of what's going in the world now, the brutality is so realistic and it perfectly shows how war is horrible.
a true anti war film show your death in war for your country is meaningless shows your just a cog in the machine of war that's why I will never join the military because America my country is a imp'eri'alist col'oni'al power and it's po'wer and influe'nce is slowly f'alli'ng apart and china is set to become the next super power and the ne'o co'lo'nial west rn is in d'ecli'ne and one day africa and their people and all the other pre col'oni'zed countries will be free from the western powers gr'asp and ex'port'ation.
It's amazing how many people, have absolutely no idea how horrible war really is, the conditions its fought under, and the amount of civilian casualties, rape of women, girls, death, disfigurement , maiming, and mental anguish afterwards.

I watched this the day after it dropped, I was excited to see a newer version of this movie and wasn’t disappointed. I recommend watching it in German, it gives it a more authentic feel.
One of the best German anti-war films is Stalingrad. It is a German anti-war film from 1993. Thematic background is the Battle of Stalingrad at the end of 1942/beginning of 1943 from the point of view of a German storm pioneer battalion.
Give Vicki some lighter comedies to watch and react too. You're tearing her up with all this death and sadness. Honestly, I think Vicki may be akin to my 83 yr old mother, in that seeing death, grief, evil, sadness is almost literally painful to them. I've always thought my mother is such a pure and sweet soul, the type of person who when she smiles the world is a brighter place around her, that to watch people doing violence or other ugliness, almost physically hurts her. She will cry and it's just painful to her. I wish the world was full of more "pure souls," like Vicki and my mother. It would be a better place.
I've seen a couple of reactions to this movie and everyone cuts out, after paul got the bullet in his helmet, his disbelieving and complaining the guys from the other side shoot at him. Perhaps it in english it doesn't come out like it but in german he delivers his confusion. In my opinion very important because he still hadn't realized that this isn't a game, that it is deadly serious.
Thank you for your reaction. As a french officer, to explain why gen. Foch was mercyless with Mathias Erzberger (german chancelor) : don't forget that, at this time, Germany had attacked in 1914 and was still occcupying two french provinces : Alsace and Lorraine. But I love Germany, speak german and deeeply regret all of these terrible years.
Correction: The provinces were German. 380.000 men from Elsass-Lothringen fought for their homeland. Only 18.000 fought on the French side. Even today after many years of oppression and occupation the people there still speak their German dialect.
This is not a historically correct description. While I understand and appreciate it, you must be careful with repeating propaganda lines and do real research and understand how the conflict evolved.
Foch was an idiot. Alzace and Lorraine were mostly inhabited by german and France lost them when FRANCE attacked and lost against Prussia in 1871. The Prussian reached Paris and they were far too leniant on the french IMHO. Foch is directly responsible for WW2
@@leisen9679You are absolutely right, these are propaganda lies which our Allied friends ( the worst warmongers ever) spread up to the present day. And know I don't appreciate this disgusting propaganda. Why should I?
@@mightymet7062 Alsace and Lorraine were so German that hundreds of thousands of inhabitants left the region after 1871, that there was an attempt to repopulate the area with German citizens between 1871 and 1914 , that citizens of Alsace Lorraine were treated as second-class citizens (Zabern affair in January 1914) and that they were sent to the East during WW1 to avoid potential mutinies because they wouldn't fight against the French. Saying that 380,000 of them fighting for Germany when it was either that or desertion is a proof of anything is pretty idiotic.
My (german)great-grand fathers survived this and my grandfathers survived Hitlers war. My grand-grandmothers and grandmothers also survived even tho they were refugees and my two grandfathers were war-prisoners in russia for many years, i am alive! what i was being told by my father, none of them all wanted any of it or were a "proud soldier". I am so grateful to be alive and to live in peace. ...with my wife, my son and my daughter. The chances were high, that we all would have never existed.
actually this movie captures the moment that created ww2. The surrender of germany and the conditions france demanded destroyed germany litterly. This bad conditions are the moment that Hitler used to gain power and the trust of germany and austria for his idea. Funfact the director switched the end of the movie. In reality after the surrender of germany france did a last attack before the war ended.
Ignorant ! The Germans killed 2 million french devastating a rich part of the country. If the UK and Wilson had supported France, Hitler would never have been in power. France was alone and too kind for these bastards.
Yes! My 2 favorite Homies! I never miss your reactions. I knew this one would be particularly rough on Viki. Lia is a rock. We love you both for these qualities. Remember, when you feel the sadness and pain of these kinds of brutal historical movies, those lows will make your highs much more meaningful. One cannot enjoy the sunlight having never experienced the rain.
Something that almost everyone fails to notice is the sad fact the young soldier who collects the dog tags at the end forgets to pick Paul´s tag when he takes the scarf instead..
I had hopes you would "get it", after feeling so much for the main characters... Then you said, "So many lives...." "One life or a billion! It's all the same!" - Ambassador Delenn, "Babylon 5" Each of those lives was a living breathing human. Each had hopes and fears and loved ones. Each was unique and irreplaceable. Each of the men suffered the fear and pain and horror of that war; on both sides. Millions... each one experiencing that hell as did the main characters of this movie. How can a society that cherishes each individual send waves of their young men into that hell, to die in pain and dirt and fear and suffering? It can't. And that's why it's necessary to raise a generation that does cherish each individual member of society, for the unique being each of us is. No society where all of us is more important than each of us can avoid this waste, this destruction of life. Sooner or later the "needs of the many" will come to dominate the "needs of the few... or the one". And once you step through that threshold... no atrocity is unimaginable. The individuals add up, and become just numbers. "Holy State or Holy King- Or Holy People’s Will- Have no truck with the senseless thing." - Rudyard Kipling, "MacDonough's Song" www.kiplingsociety.co.uk/poem/poems_macdonough.htm
the symbolism of the final scene is breathtaking: 'the STAB IN THE BACK' on full display and the passing on of the 'panties' to the next generation. this phrase 'stab in the back' would go on to spawn Adolf H.
The book and all the movie versions of "All Quiet On The Western Front" are sad, emotionally draining and well done. It's kind of like how I feel about "Schindler's List"...it's a great movie and important to have watched, but not something I want see every day! Sometimes, some of the deepest and most powerful movies, you are glad you watched once, but you'll never see it a second time. The pain is just too raw and real.
By the autumn of 1918, approximately 900,000 Bulgarian men, nearly 40 percent of the male population, had been conscripted. The army suffered 300,000 casualties, including 100,000 killed, the most severe per capita losses of any country involved in the war.
Haven't seen. I know it's world classic. Remake. I saw you reaction on pic. I know it's sad. War,tragedy,even personal tragedies. Glad you enjoyed it :)
A small but important detail. The Officier first ordered the soldier to collect the marcs. After the Armistice he sad "Collect. Please." They knew its over.
Worst part that the last attack is not fiction or movie drama. There are many written accounts from soldiers describing how men were killed in the literal last minute before the ceasefire. The whole point of the book, and the movie, is to show how terrible and often meaningless war can be, and to show how it is the soldiers who suffer and not the military leaders or the politicians. It’s sad to watch, but it is good to be sad about war. At least your heart is in the right place then.
I always loved the negotiation scene between the German and French delegations because it really highlights how shrewd and cunning these people are. The French delegation leader refuses at first to accept any kind of ceasefire and demands that the German delegation leader formally requests one - which he then uses as confirmation that the Germans are negotiating from a position of weakness. It's very subtle but the maneuvering is compelling to watch.
It's not difficlt to understand the French position here, Germany attacked France more than 4 years earlier, and the fights destroyed about 20% of the French land and almost 50% of its industry. And at that time, the germans were beaten on all Front after the Armistice reached by Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire. The last one to fight was Germany on the Western Front, and it didn't go well for them at that time, being beaten on almost all the front. So France wanted tu push their advantage, the thing that the Germans did 50 years prior during the Franco-Prussian War.
The French gave the German the exact medicine they received from them by the treaty of Frankfurt, 1871. Ofc the Entente wouldn't go easy on Germany, it was the last Central power to surrender and in an obvious position of weakness since end of 1917.
@@slawaboga1433 nope, the French weren't "much harsher" than what did the Germans to the French in the Frankfurt treaty on 1871. Youre uneduc(ated and clearly igno(rant. Austro Hungarian empire is another empire, and was mostly falling appart itself.
I'm pretty sure you are correct and iirc those tanks were horrible to drive because while the armor plating protected you once you ran out of ammo or became unable to continue you would have soldiers rushing you and throwing grenades inside
No this is 1918: the first use of tanks was by the British in 1916, two years earlier. The French St.Chamond tanks shown in the film first saw combat in 1917.
While the Shock value was there at first, these Tanks did not do much. and once the first shock was over, they where dispatched rather easy, the English called them Steel Coffins. The French, even 20 years later, did not know how to properly use Tanks, a harsh lesson they got taught by the Wehrmacht then.
@@1Ashram Yes, the key advantage of them wasn't "shock value" it was mobility: they could get a couple of six-pounder guns and four machine-guns through no-man's-land and across the enemy trenches with out getting stuck in the mud or bogged down fighting infantry battle in those trenches. When used properly (i.e. en masse), they enabled the attack to maintain momentum, which was always the problem before they arrived on the scene. They certainly couldn't stand up to any kind of direct artillery fire though. There's a picture of a British tank that penetrated the German front line only to get hit in the face by a German field gun. There's just two track frames lying on either side of the road, an engine block sitting on the ground in the middle of the road, and _nothing else_ : the entire hull and all the crew in it are just _gone_ ....😮
you should definitely watch the movie in german. the english version is good, but the german actors give an amazing performance when speaking their native language.
The capitulation that the French forced upon Germany is what led to WW2. The allies destroyed the German state and their economy and left no other choice for the German population other than another war.
The father from my great grandfather fought in Verdun, my great grandfather in Wehrmacht (Poland, Africa, Eastern Front), my grandfather joined after ww2 the french foreign legion and fought in indochina, my father was in Iraq, i was in army too but no war to join
I still prefer the original 1930 version. Bulgaria itself ( same side as the one shown in this film - Central powers, lost 187,500+ killed and 152,390+ wounded in world war one.) The cost of one life is meaningless in a conflict, hence why people are, have been, and will always be used as meatbags / expendable in war.
Thanks for your reaction to a realistic war film. The film, as well as the book on which it is based, relentlessly shows the pointlessness of war and is a warning for those of us alive today. The film offers viewers no heroes, only victims; even the survivors continue to suffer. So do the viewers!
The allies were very shitty in the first world war. Not to compare with the second world war. The British blockade killed many more civilians than the German submarines. The Germans even warned in public newspapers that they will attack certain civilian ships and that the US people should beware as they will attack this ship. Initially, the Germans even gave the ships plenty of time to evacuate. But they had to stop that later as it made them very vulnerable to consistently saying where they were attacking to protect civilians. The Germans attacked civilians in Belgium because the Belgian soldiers disguised themselves as civilians to surprise the Germans. The Germans didn't just invade Belgium. They asked beforehand if they could go through peacefully. You have to see this war from every side as there was no good or bad. Just like before the war. The Germans felt attacked from all sides. Just as Russia was rearming, it was over. The USA was not "neutral" either, as is often said in American schools. Most American settlers were German, yet the US consistently supplied the Allies and broke their neutrality. They tried to ban German language and culture. Every piece of German was removed. Although the settlers had nothing to do with the country politically. For the fact that the Germans made the USA more or less great by producing the largest families in the USA or inventions like jeans or the beginning of the gold rush, they were hated and sometimes even chased away. Not a single president stood up for this group of Americans, who really did something for the country with their working-class mentality. Allied propaganda made everyone in the world hate the Germans. All the great powers allied against the Germans and yet the Germans almost won. It was a period of weeks. If the usa had entered the war a few weeks later.. it would have been dark for the allies. Despite the British blockade, which left the Germans without supplies and one planet against them, the Germans almost won. Shows how overpowered they are. After the war they were held responsible for everything. But we're talking about the bad bad Germans. Don't get me wrong, the Germans screwed up too. But they also had to fight against a planet. That doesn't justify the actions, but makes it more understandable.
Both of my grandfathers were in the trenches in France....they were both shot and gassed...but survived. However they passed away in their forties.......I never knew my grandfathers.
Watching this, I can only say, the French deserved all they got 20 years later, you do not make peace by humiliating, and disrespecting a defeated enemy, taking everything, as thousands of people starved to death. while the french military occupying the rhineland was harrasing and laughing about the starving and poor german people. It says a lot that the British and Americans where disgusted by the french " peace " deal.
The primary goal of WWI generals became attrition. Killing so many men that the enemy could no longer fight a war. Trench warfare was inconceivably horrible.
You know, for us French, the 14/18 war was one of the most terrible. Yet France has known no century without war from the time of Julius Caesar to now. Suffice it to say that the population is accustomed, so to speak, to war. But that of 1914 was really a shock of dread and horror. imagine that for a small country like France. It has lost more than a million and a half of men
Good reaction! Sadly you saw it in dubbed english....so you never have the chance to watch it the first time again in german....that would have been the best choice....it is gone sadly....
At same period on this war was anoter guy who went to the front as a volunteer, went blind for some time after a gas attack, was seriously wounded in the leg and injured crawled by ground until he got to the medics, oneday learned that the war was lost become blind for several years because of stress, became artist after blindness was gone and after gain some manic attitude to make Germany great again. Name of this young artist was Adolf Hitler.
Book written by German soldier participated in WWI, he wanted to use this book to let the people to avoid another Word War… indeed, we all know mankind made another and another mistake
The book from the 1920's as well as the first film from the late 30's (i think? ) are absolute masterpieces as well. There's another anti war film with a somewhat similar theme (WWI): Johnny got his gun. Check it out if you liked this one.
This movie is a masterpiece. One of my favourite movies, but you have to watch it in the original German to get the real emotion in the actors’ voices. The English dub does not do the actors Justice. This movie only shows some of the brutalities of war though. Real war is much more graphic. If you want to see the real truth of war, you need to watch “Come and See”, but I will warn you, it is the most horrifying movie I’ve ever seen. Not because it tries to be scary, but because it simply shows you the true atrocities that human beings are capable of committing.
War and war movies don't inapt to women and ladies (unless they are also soldiers). Sadly, wars include very much pain, kill, tears, blood, brutality, these belong to them as naturality.
The young lady should no longer watch films like this, made in Germany! The reason: When Germans make films, there is no hero who runs and the bullets fall into the sand behind him! Heroes are dead, in Germany you only become a hero when you are dead! Films in Germany are not made according to the American model, there is no happy ending..... The naked, cruel truth is shown! The young lady is never allowed to watch a film like that again, she can't handle it psychologically! Greets from Germany From an Afghanistan Veteran

Hey everyone. My name is Patrick and I come from Germany. First of all, respect for watching the film. But to be honest, we were shown this and other films like it in history class at school. We were in grades 7-10 (12-15 years old) so that we would never forget our guilt in the war. Don't you watch films like this in schools in America?
The book was written by a man who was a German soldier. The main character was inspired by him specifically and if I recall correctly the scene with Paul in the hole with the Frenchman was a real thing that happened

Yes everything was real except he’s death!
Probably happened many times
the movie is loosely based on the book
The story of ,,all quiet on the western front" was created by combining many different storys together.
Thats no romanticize, no Hollywood!!! Shows the hell on earth! One of the best anti war movies ever!!!
I prefer "Das Boot", but yeah, good movie.
War movies are getting better because most are now portraying historical facts & the real face of war, the blood, the guts, the psychological horror & terror. In the past many movies portrayed it as good v bad & it's a jolly old adventure.

I'm German and My Great Grandfather (born 1889) was lucky to have been gassed during Verdun in 1916 because that made him unable to continue fighting and therefor he not only survived WWI but also managed to survive WWII without having to serve because of his French Gas Disabilities.
Anyway, He lived until 1996 so i got to know him because i'm born in the mid 1980s.
And he remained a Hunter but i remember one time during New Years Eve, one of our Neighbors went all out on Fireworks including using some questionable Polish or Czech "Böller" as we called them. And when that went off my then 105 year old Grandpa like 5 minutes after Midnight suddenly started shaking, threw up over our Table and then slowly get off his chair and very slowly move his old frail body under the Dinner Table, shaking uncontrollably and we were unable to talk to him until the next Morning.
Meaning he was 105 years old and sat under that Table shaking from around 00:10am to 6-7:00am in the Morning.
This experience was the Reason why i decided to become a Historian here in Germany and of course join the Military myself (having basic was mandatory when i turned 18) and i ended up serving 6 years including in Combat.
I now focus on PTSD and other combat-related Psychological Issues.
My other Relatives, especially my German WW2 Veteran Grandfathers and Granduncles helped me a lot with my Research as they mostly spent a ton of time in anti-partisan warfare and Eastern Front Combat.
Just thought i share that because to this day, having been to Afghanistan myself 2 times i can say that PTSD and Combat in both WWI and WWII was far worse on the Psychology of a Soldier than what us Soldiers experience nowadays.
Yet i would have never known with most WW2 Vets i met that they hat PTSD because it was such a Taboo when the War ended, they managed to put on a Mask and hide it very well.
Prost & Cheers from the Bavarian Alps
Omg, the story with your grandfather under the table is so sad!

I remember reading this book in high school, written by a German soldier, I saw this in a cinema , excellent anti war movie. I knew this would tear Vicki up.
Greetings from Germany, thank you for reacting to this heavy piece of cinema... actually, in German with English subtitles it feels a bit more authentic, but they did quite well here, with the dubbing, so it doesn't take much from the experience... A very tough movie to watch, indeed.. read the book and watched both movies of it before this, both great in their own style. In case you are up for an even more accurate despiction in a war movie, I'd recoomend you watching the (imo) best German movie of all times, "Das Boot" ... but if you go for that, please make sure to watch the German version with English subtitles, because there, they really fucked up the dubbing ;) take care and stay the same!
I agree with this statement. I’m more of a dubbed movie watcher because I have dyslexia and hate reading. But they really messed up the dubbed version of Das Boot.
YES,much better with sub-titles , Das Boot is fantastic, claustrophobic ,tense, good characters,well worth seeing.
And when you have watched "Das Boot" continue with watching "Stalingrad" from 1993 and "Generation War" from 2013.

Was lucky enough to catch this in a great cinema, and it was a very intense experience. And people were almost quiet walking out afterwards - everyone were in shock it seemed like. Truly one of the best anti-war movies made in a long time!
My German great-grandpa fought on the Western Front in WW1. He did survive but he got sick in the trenches and never got well again. He died a few years after the war when my grandpa was a young boy. My great-grandmother then washed towels for the village to keep them fed.
Next time the Germans will think twice before invading the others.
А твой папа не воевал, случайно, тна восточном фронте, чуть позже?
He should have stayed in Germany, France was bad for his health.

The pure emotions from this reaction video is what I love about you guys' channel. Love you guys 💖
Milions of men were forced into the trenches, milions of men died in trenches. Those who came back would be look down upon, not understood by anyone, plagued with PTSD. No one can ever understand the burden these men went through.
everybody should watch this movie... it's an anti-war movie... no more wars
well... the message is not working.
because we have a lot of wars going on right now.
Keep dreaming.. as long as america exists there will be war.
It's america's biggest income without wars the US (as the biggest weapon supplier) would be bankrupt.
The General sipping on expensive drinks and smoking expensive cigars in "All Quiet on the Western Front" is based on a real General from World War 1, General Erich Ludendorff. He was considered a "butcher" during the war because his strategies were often high risk/high reward and it always ended up being extremely costly for both sides involved.
Thank you ladies for your authentic reactions to a movie about one of the most shocking times in European history. Having seen this you will appreciate "1917" and "Passchendaele" - not suggesting you watch them unless you want to put yourselves through similar levels of distress.
I've been to Belgium where a lot of the combat on the Western Front took place and walked among original sections of trenches and marvelled at how much of the "iron harvest" (unexploded mines, bombs, shells, gas canisters, etc) is still being dug up over 100 years later.
If you ever get to go to Belgium take a look around Ypres. It's a lovely old town that was right on the front line in the war and had five distinct battles fought around it, the most notorious being 3rd Ypres (Passchendaele). A lot of Canadians, New Zealanders, British and Australians buried there.
This whole movie is basically a man slowly descending into madness due to PTSD. PTSD is no joke. I have seen footage of WWI veterans who could barely walk upright. These men went through absolute hell and the way they were treated when they came home makes no sense whatsoever.
If this makes you cry you really don't wanna know about what happened in the eastern front
This movie fucked me up for a WHILE after I watched it. Granted, I've read a lot about the first World War so I kinda knew what to expect going in, but how exactly the story movies and the acting and everything is just done so well that it still hits you right in the gut with the emotions. I'd recommend watching it in German with whatever subtitles you're most comfortable reading though, the dubbed voice acting doesn't compare imo.
it did so for me too I was f***ed for weeks after the film is a true anti war film show your de'at'h in war for your country is mean'ingless shows your just a cog in the ma'chine of wa'r that's why I will never join the military because America my country is a imp'eri'alist col'oni'al power and it's po'wer and influe'nce is slowly f'alli'ng apart and china is set to become the next super power and the ne'o co'lo'nial west rn is in d'ecli'ne and one day africa and their people and all the other pre col'oni'zed countries will be free from the western powers gr'asp and ex'port'ation.
The Book is really good as well. This version of the film hits harder because of what's going in the world now, the brutality is so realistic and it perfectly shows how war is horrible.
a true anti war film show your death in war for your country is meaningless shows your just a cog in the machine of war that's why I will never join the military because America my country is a imp'eri'alist col'oni'al power and it's po'wer and influe'nce is slowly f'alli'ng apart and china is set to become the next super power and the ne'o co'lo'nial west rn is in d'ecli'ne and one day africa and their people and all the other pre col'oni'zed countries will be free from the western powers gr'asp and ex'port'ation.
It's amazing how many people, have absolutely no idea how horrible war really is, the conditions its fought under, and the amount of civilian casualties, rape of women, girls, death, disfigurement , maiming, and mental anguish afterwards.

I watched this the day after it dropped, I was excited to see a newer version of this movie and wasn’t disappointed. I recommend watching it in German, it gives it a more authentic feel.
The treaty that ended WW1 was a precursor and one of the things that set-in motion WW2.
Man's inhumanity to man is boundless
One of the best German anti-war films is Stalingrad. It is a German anti-war film from 1993. Thematic background is the Battle of Stalingrad at the end of 1942/beginning of 1943 from the point of view of a German storm pioneer battalion.
Not sure why people would watch a German movie in English? Completely ruins it.
It’s more convenient than having the tiny captions on the already-tiny screen share
It’s better in German I agree
Give Vicki some lighter comedies to watch and react too. You're tearing her up with all this death and sadness.
Honestly, I think Vicki may be akin to my 83 yr old mother, in that seeing death, grief, evil, sadness is almost literally painful to them. I've always thought my mother is such a pure and sweet soul, the type of person who when she smiles the world is a brighter place around her, that to watch people doing violence or other ugliness, almost physically hurts her. She will cry and it's just painful to her. I wish the world was full of more "pure souls," like Vicki and my mother. It would be a better place.
Two words:
"Das Boot"
Directors Cut in German with subtitles!
I've seen a couple of reactions to this movie and everyone cuts out, after paul got the bullet in his helmet, his disbelieving and complaining the guys from the other side shoot at him.
Perhaps it in english it doesn't come out like it but in german he delivers his confusion.
In my opinion very important because he still hadn't realized that this isn't a game, that it is deadly serious.
This Saturday is the 105th anniversary of the Armistice... The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month...
Thank you for your reaction.
As a french officer, to explain why gen. Foch was mercyless with Mathias Erzberger (german chancelor) : don't forget that, at this time, Germany had attacked in 1914 and was still occcupying two french provinces : Alsace and Lorraine.
But I love Germany, speak german and deeeply regret all of these terrible years.
Correction: The provinces were German. 380.000 men from Elsass-Lothringen fought for their homeland. Only 18.000 fought on the French side. Even today after many years of oppression and occupation the people there still speak their German dialect.
This is not a historically correct description. While I understand and appreciate it, you must be careful with repeating propaganda lines and do real research and understand how the conflict evolved.
Foch was an idiot.
Alzace and Lorraine were mostly inhabited by german and France lost them when FRANCE attacked and lost against Prussia in 1871. The Prussian reached Paris and they were far too leniant on the french IMHO.
Foch is directly responsible for WW2
@@leisen9679You are absolutely right, these are propaganda lies which our Allied friends ( the worst warmongers ever) spread up to the present day. And know I don't appreciate this disgusting propaganda. Why should I?
@@mightymet7062
Alsace and Lorraine were so German that hundreds of thousands of inhabitants left the region after 1871, that there was an attempt to repopulate the area with German citizens between 1871 and 1914 , that citizens of Alsace Lorraine were treated as second-class citizens (Zabern affair in January 1914) and that they were sent to the East during WW1 to avoid potential mutinies because they wouldn't fight against the French.
Saying that 380,000 of them fighting for Germany when it was either that or desertion is a proof of anything is pretty idiotic.
My (german)great-grand fathers survived this and my grandfathers survived Hitlers war. My grand-grandmothers and grandmothers also survived even tho they were refugees and my two grandfathers were war-prisoners in russia for many years, i am alive! what i was being told by my father, none of them all wanted any of it or were a "proud soldier".
I am so grateful to be alive and to live in peace.
...with my wife, my son and my daughter. The chances were high, that we all would have never existed.
actually this movie captures the moment that created ww2. The surrender of germany and the conditions france demanded destroyed germany litterly. This bad conditions are the moment that Hitler used to gain power and the trust of germany and austria for his idea. Funfact the director switched the end of the movie. In reality after the surrender of germany france did a last attack before the war ended.
Germany invaded Poland for lost land for ww1 The fact Germans in Poland weren’t treated well and obviously the Jewish part that the nazis played in :(
Ignorant ! The Germans killed 2 million french devastating a rich part of the country. If the UK and Wilson had supported France, Hitler would never have been in power. France was alone and too kind for these bastards.
Kindly stop spreading the lie that the eeeevil French conditionsruined Germany and caused ww2. That is literally Nazi propaganda
Watch the movie "COME AND SEE" (1985) I think there tears will flow not only from Vicky but from Lia and Michelle
I remember suggesting that me and my mom should watch that movie. Biggest mistake of my life but I can't deny how great of a movie it is
Yes! My 2 favorite Homies! I never miss your reactions. I knew this one would be particularly rough on Viki. Lia is a rock. We love you both for these qualities.
Remember, when you feel the sadness and pain of these kinds of brutal historical movies, those lows will make your highs much more meaningful.
One cannot enjoy the sunlight having never experienced the rain.
WW1 movies are always a horror story. Just countries competing to send more men into the meat grinder.
Everyone should be made to read tbe book. War would be a lot less common if we all read it
The guy in the end didn't even collect his tag which means he'll be just missing at war. His family wont even know what happened to him...
Damn this have to be the most emotional reaction video ive ever seen
Edward Berger’s staggering and engrossing film version of Erich Maria Remarque’s 1928 classic anti-war novel...is powerful
There is nothing heroic or poetic about war. Never was and never will be.
its basicly the history of a Uniform switching the owner
Probably the saddest thing is that we never learn.
I agree with Viki. If I watch a military movie like this, I'd be crying. I'm emotional so I don't watch military movies.
Something that almost everyone fails to notice is the sad fact the young soldier who collects the dog tags at the end forgets to pick Paul´s tag when he takes the scarf instead..
I had hopes you would "get it", after feeling so much for the main characters...
Then you said, "So many lives...."
"One life or a billion! It's all the same!" - Ambassador Delenn, "Babylon 5"
Each of those lives was a living breathing human. Each had hopes and fears and loved ones. Each was unique and irreplaceable. Each of the men suffered the fear and pain and horror of that war; on both sides. Millions... each one experiencing that hell as did the main characters of this movie.
How can a society that cherishes each individual send waves of their young men into that hell, to die in pain and dirt and fear and suffering?
It can't. And that's why it's necessary to raise a generation that does cherish each individual member of society, for the unique being each of us is.
No society where all of us is more important than each of us can avoid this waste, this destruction of life. Sooner or later the "needs of the many" will come to dominate the "needs of the few... or the one". And once you step through that threshold... no atrocity is unimaginable. The individuals add up, and become just numbers.

@@AbsurdityViewer ok 👍
The book and all the movie versions of "All Quiet On The Western Front" are sad, emotionally draining and well done. It's kind of like how I feel about "Schindler's List"...it's a great movie and important to have watched, but not something I want see every day! Sometimes, some of the deepest and most powerful movies, you are glad you watched once, but you'll never see it a second time. The pain is just too raw and real.
By the autumn of 1918, approximately 900,000 Bulgarian men, nearly 40 percent of the male population, had been conscripted. The army suffered 300,000 casualties, including 100,000 killed, the most severe per capita losses of any country involved in the war.
it shows the reality of war
Haven't seen. I know it's world classic. Remake. I saw you reaction on pic. I know it's sad. War,tragedy,even personal tragedies. Glad you enjoyed it :)
You should’ve watched it in German it makes the whole experience more realistic and scary
A small but important detail. The Officier first ordered the soldier to collect the marcs. After the Armistice he sad "Collect. Please." They knew its over.
Worst part that the last attack is not fiction or movie drama. There are many written accounts from soldiers describing how men were killed in the literal last minute before the ceasefire.
The whole point of the book, and the movie, is to show how terrible and often meaningless war can be, and to show how it is the soldiers who suffer and not the military leaders or the politicians.
It’s sad to watch, but it is good to be sad about war. At least your heart is in the right place then.
I always loved the negotiation scene between the German and French delegations because it really highlights how shrewd and cunning these people are. The French delegation leader refuses at first to accept any kind of ceasefire and demands that the German delegation leader formally requests one - which he then uses as confirmation that the Germans are negotiating from a position of weakness. It's very subtle but the maneuvering is compelling to watch.
It's not difficlt to understand the French position here, Germany attacked France more than 4 years earlier, and the fights destroyed about 20% of the French land and almost 50% of its industry. And at that time, the germans were beaten on all Front after the Armistice reached by Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire. The last one to fight was Germany on the Western Front, and it didn't go well for them at that time, being beaten on almost all the front. So France wanted tu push their advantage, the thing that the Germans did 50 years prior during the Franco-Prussian War.
The French gave the German the exact medicine they received from them by the treaty of Frankfurt, 1871.
Ofc the Entente wouldn't go easy on Germany, it was the last Central power to surrender and in an obvious position of weakness since end of 1917.
@@slawaboga1433 nope, the French weren't "much harsher" than what did the Germans to the French in the Frankfurt treaty on 1871.
Youre uneduc(ated and clearly igno(rant.
Austro Hungarian empire is another empire, and was mostly falling appart itself.
I think it depicts one of the the first use of armoured tanks in warfare. truly gripping and so relevant to our times.
I'm pretty sure you are correct and iirc those tanks were horrible to drive because while the armor plating protected you once you ran out of ammo or became unable to continue you would have soldiers rushing you and throwing grenades inside
No this is 1918: the first use of tanks was by the British in 1916, two years earlier. The French St.Chamond tanks shown in the film first saw combat in 1917.
While the Shock value was there at first, these Tanks did not do much. and once the first shock was over, they where dispatched rather easy, the English called them Steel Coffins. The French, even 20 years later, did not know how to properly use Tanks, a harsh lesson they got taught by the Wehrmacht then.
@@1Ashram Yes, the key advantage of them wasn't "shock value" it was mobility: they could get a couple of six-pounder guns and four machine-guns through no-man's-land and across the enemy trenches with out getting stuck in the mud or bogged down fighting infantry battle in those trenches. When used properly (i.e. en masse), they enabled the attack to maintain momentum, which was always the problem before they arrived on the scene.
They certainly couldn't stand up to any kind of direct artillery fire though. There's a picture of a British tank that penetrated the German front line only to get hit in the face by a German field gun. There's just two track frames lying on either side of the road, an engine block sitting on the ground in the middle of the road, and _nothing else_ : the entire hull and all the crew in it are just _gone_ ....😮
The fact men didn’t realize gun bullets did nothing is just scary
you should definitely watch the movie in german. the english version is good, but the german actors give an amazing performance when speaking their native language.
15:54 when looking this movie think how feminists "claim to be always being opressed and have the worst live and men has such a privilege"

This movie is an anti-war movie that talks about the stupidity of war rather than one that glorifies it.
I still prefer the original 1930 version. Bulgaria itself ( same side as the one shown in this film - Central powers, lost 187,500+ killed and 152,390+ wounded in world war one.) The cost of one life is meaningless in a conflict, hence why people are, have been, and will always be used as meatbags / expendable in war.
Thanks for your reaction to a realistic war film. The film, as well as the book on which it is based, relentlessly shows the pointlessness of war and is a warning for those of us alive today. The film offers viewers no heroes, only victims; even the survivors continue to suffer. So do the viewers!
The allies were very shitty in the first world war. Not to compare with the second world war. The British blockade killed many more civilians than the German submarines. The Germans even warned in public newspapers that they will attack certain civilian ships and that the US people should beware as they will attack this ship. Initially, the Germans even gave the ships plenty of time to evacuate. But they had to stop that later as it made them very vulnerable to consistently saying where they were attacking to protect civilians. The Germans attacked civilians in Belgium because the Belgian soldiers disguised themselves as civilians to surprise the Germans. The Germans didn't just invade Belgium. They asked beforehand if they could go through peacefully. You have to see this war from every side as there was no good or bad. Just like before the war. The Germans felt attacked from all sides. Just as Russia was rearming, it was over. The USA was not "neutral" either, as is often said in American schools. Most American settlers were German, yet the US consistently supplied the Allies and broke their neutrality. They tried to ban German language and culture. Every piece of German was removed. Although the settlers had nothing to do with the country politically. For the fact that the Germans made the USA more or less great by producing the largest families in the USA or inventions like jeans or the beginning of the gold rush, they were hated and sometimes even chased away. Not a single president stood up for this group of Americans, who really did something for the country with their working-class mentality. Allied propaganda made everyone in the world hate the Germans. All the great powers allied against the Germans and yet the Germans almost won. It was a period of weeks. If the usa had entered the war a few weeks later.. it would have been dark for the allies. Despite the British blockade, which left the Germans without supplies and one planet against them, the Germans almost won. Shows how overpowered they are. After the war they were held responsible for everything. But we're talking about the bad bad Germans. Don't get me wrong, the Germans screwed up too. But they also had to fight against a planet. That doesn't justify the actions, but makes it more understandable.
You may have watched war movies before. Now you have watched an anti-war movie.

Watch the original version of this remake
Both of my grandfathers were in the trenches in France....they were both shot and gassed...but survived. However they passed away in their forties.......I never knew my grandfathers.
They did Matthias Erzberger (politician negotiating) and his actor (Daniel Brühl) dirty in the synchro.
Can you imagine, That was Felix Kammerer's first movie experience
Watching this, I can only say, the French deserved all they got 20 years later, you do not make peace by humiliating, and disrespecting a defeated enemy, taking everything, as thousands of people starved to death. while the french military occupying the rhineland was harrasing and laughing about the starving and poor german people. It says a lot that the British and Americans where disgusted by the french " peace " deal.
bien sur les anglais sont des gentlemans, tout le nord de la france a été rasé a cause de cette guerre alors pas de romantisme svp !
You are an uneducated idiot.
Let's hope you are spreading this Nazi propaganda because you are a moron and not because you are a real Nazi
The primary goal of WWI generals became attrition. Killing so many men that the enemy could no longer fight a war. Trench warfare was inconceivably horrible.
You know, for us French, the 14/18 war was one of the most terrible. Yet France has known no century without war from the time of Julius Caesar to now. Suffice it to say that the population is accustomed, so to speak, to war. But that of 1914 was really a shock of dread and horror. imagine that for a small country like France. It has lost more than a million and a half of men

Good reaction! Sadly you saw it in dubbed english....so you never have the chance to watch it the first time again in german....that would have been the best choice....it is gone sadly....
Literally watched this movie yesterday in dubbed English , Regretting it now🫠
At same period on this war was anoter guy who went to the front as a volunteer, went blind for some time after a gas attack, was seriously wounded in the leg and injured crawled by ground until he got to the medics, oneday learned that the war was lost become blind for several years because of stress, became artist after blindness was gone and after gain some manic attitude to make Germany great again. Name of this young artist was Adolf Hitler.
Book written by German soldier participated in WWI, he wanted to use this book to let the people to avoid another Word War… indeed, we all know mankind made another and another mistake
The book from the 1920's as well as the first film from the late 30's (i think? ) are absolute masterpieces as well. There's another anti war film with a somewhat similar theme (WWI): Johnny got his gun. Check it out if you liked this one.
Johnny got his gun is far superior to this.

This movie is a masterpiece. One of my favourite movies, but you have to watch it in the original German to get the real emotion in the actors’ voices. The English dub does not do the actors Justice.
This movie only shows some of the brutalities of war though. Real war is much more graphic. If you want to see the real truth of war, you need to watch “Come and See”, but I will warn you, it is the most horrifying movie I’ve ever seen. Not because it tries to be scary, but because it simply shows you the true atrocities that human beings are capable of committing.
There is plenty real brutalities of war on telegram

War and war movies don't inapt to women and ladies (unless they are also soldiers). Sadly, wars include very much pain, kill, tears, blood, brutality, these belong to them as naturality.
The young lady should no longer watch films like this, made in Germany!
The reason: When Germans make films, there is no hero who runs and the bullets fall into the sand behind him!
Heroes are dead, in Germany you only become a hero when you are dead!
Films in Germany are not made according to the American model, there is no happy ending.....
The naked, cruel truth is shown!
The young lady is never allowed to watch a film like that again, she can't handle it psychologically!

The Germans used poison gas first, then the Allies.
The Allies first had tanks in World War I.

First of all, respect for watching the film.
But to be honest, we were shown this and other films like it in history class at school.
We were in grades 7-10 (12-15 years old) so that we would never forget our guilt in the war.
Don't you watch films like this in schools in America?
Only Germans were guilty ! ! ! ! !
They're not Americans I think they're Bulgarian or somewhere in the Balkans
They clearly are not Americans, Americans don’t have that accent.
