"We had heavy uniforms that sucked up all the water. Filiming 16 hours a day. But we knew we had a story to tell. And in the end we could just go home. Over 100 years ago [in the real war] they didnt go home."
How lucky am I to be living in world where people pay attention to their craft
@Samuel Sampaio 🤓
@Samuel Sampaio yeah, whats even more absurd was their use of 'prop' guns. If they actually wanted to be historically accurate they wouldve actually been shooting each other so the effects and reactions would be realistic
@@Regularguy220 too much edge
A pure masterpiece movie & Felix added an extra-ordinary flow with his brilliant acting. Hope, it will achieve oscar.
It did achieve an Oscar ! I am beyond happy and proud 🎉
And it did!
Although a decent movie, very disappointing from the 1980 version, new one doesn't display how Germans used to live or goes into a deeper display of the human relationships....
Read the book and then you know that this movie was not a masterpiece.
I wouldn’t call it a masterpiece but that’s just me
Does anyone even realize how good Felix' English is? Apart from anything else.
German people generally have pretty decent English
Yes and for once someone not speaking with an American accent.
@@matti8073 well, he’s Austrian, not German.
@@poemaboutthemanfromnantucketWhat does that matter?
But his first language is German and he is one of the few Austrians who can speak high German and suppress his native dialect.
German is harder than English, but the languages are very similar. It's quite easy to pick up English as a native German speaker.
Deserves to win every award. Felix should have been up for an Oscar himself!
Four. Not great not terrible.
@@PiscatorLager for an non English movie it’s outstanding
@@PiscatorLager thanks steven spielberg, great feedback
@@PiscatorLager sounds like someone who'd put Top Gun as their top 5 of all time
There are movies that you watch for enjoyment and forget, and then there are movies that shock and shake you to the core such that you can't forget them. This movie is definitely the latter for me and deserves all the recognition it is getting and deservedly may get in the future.
Watch the 1979 version. Read the book.
This movie was just a weak war-cliche movie
@@haraffael7821bro shut up
@@haraffael7821I Will go read it and see the older versions but as of now I think the movie is pretty good. War movies are more or less about the same, especially these days
I saw both. I disaggree, this one was the very best. @@haraffael7821
Really love his attitude towards the entire project. It shows he cares. Certainly the right cast for the right picture.
Such an amazing film! And his dedication to the character is awesome!
every award that this film wins is more than deserved, outstanding
It’s an outstanding movie IMHO. One of the finest war movies ever (re) made. I’ve seen all three versions and, no disrespect to the other two, find that this remake is a masterpiece. Congratulations to all involved in this classic film.
I don't watch many foreign language films but this was exceptional
It’s in English.
@@alexispennsylvaniano, it is not?
You also should watch Generation War. Highly recommended if you haven't seen it yet.
@@alexispennsylvania well idk which weird english dub you have watched than, but as a germam I can tell you that this german film, made as a german production by a german team that just won the Oscar for best international film, an award that is given to "a feature-lenght motion picture produced outside the United States with a predominantly non-English dialogue track", was also shot in the german language with some few french dialogue in it, but not a single word of english. So the OP saying they don't watch many films in the foreign language OS totally right, cause you usually watch foreign language films in OV with subtitles.
@@alexispennsylvania it got translated to English whit voice actors
The original is German
I didn’t realise this was his big screen debut. What a way to take off!
Just finished seeing him in series 3 of "Der Pass". The final series is quite slow and turgid and only comes to life after Kammerer and August Diehl appear.
New favorite actor, I can't wait to see Felix in other films!
As soon as I watched it I had to order the book. Such a powerful movie.
I'm sorry you weren't required to read it in school. I think 'All Quiet' ought to be one of the 10 Mandatory Books every person should read before they enter college. But that's me.
You will probably not 'like' the book. I didn't. But it has remained on my shelf ever since because of what it taught me.
@@carlhicksjr8401 on that same note, I insisted on reading jane eyre when I was in high school even tho it wasn't required or ever read in class. I was that bookworm kid (still am frankly).
@@knittinkitten2595 I have to admit it, I am not much of a fan of the Bronte/Austen Book Club. This probably has to do with the English teachers I had in school. I was required to read 'Wuthering Heights' and 'Pride and Prejudice' twice each [I think the two teachers were teaching the same syllabus] and the themes just didn't resonate with me. Don't get me wrong here: if that's your thing, enjoy. They're just not my thing.
It's ironic because the film doesn't follow the book's story, like AT ALL
@@BadselS Not really true.
Yes, things are in the wrong order, but everything is faithfully portrayed.
If anything AQWF 22 **added** content regarding the Armistice negotiations and so on.
This is a German actor being interviewed in English by an English channel about playing a role of a German fighting the French (and the English) into the WWI. In other circumstances, the people who fought and killed each other could have been friends, colleagues, schoolmates etc. War is a devastating thing where people who don't even go to war solve their problems by putting other people to kill each other. And the saddest of all is that they are young, almost children.
He is Austrian. Not German.
@@AuxaneST The fact remains the same. Austrians fought alongside the Germans in WWI.
The soundtrack really stays in your head. It's unique
I remember reading the book in high school (I read the sequel on my own). The fact that both were banned during the Nazi regime speaks volume about Hitler. The stories are classic.
When you make a book that the nazis hate then your doing good. So I agree the stories are classic. The movie in the 1930s was perceived as unpatriotic and anti German by the nazis. They tried to discredit the writer of all quiet on the western front saying Erich Maria Remarque never served in ww1 but he did serve and interviewed other soldiers who hated war which made him write his story.
H1tl3r was against pacific idk and was deeply affected by Germany’s surrender in ww1 which would go on to shape his entire worldview. He refused to participate in the Christmas truce when he was in the trenches in ww1 . It’s pretty clear why he didn’t like the book and what is stood for .
Impressive. I run daily 10km in 35C and let me tell you, this is an achievement if you keep going without a pause. Best I could do was like 2 weeks every day until I needed a rest.
Great interview. Powerful movie and a moving performance from Felix Kammerer.
One of the best war films among the likes of Saving Private Ryan, Dunkirk, 1917, Hackshaw Ridge
Generation War and Letters from Iwo Jima are also great war movies.
Those movies are pro-war. This isnt, which is what makes it better.
MEH a lot of those movies glorify the Army and the war, all quiet on the western front does not.
@@tockitawhat does that even mean?
@@andreimcallister1365 Those movies are made so you can feel patriotic and proud of your country, this one isn't. It shows you the true colors of war and each individual was a person that had a life before all that. To put it simply, they never truly showed how it was on the other side of the war.
RESPECT FOR THIS MAN 🤝↗️
Felix fez um ótimo trabalho interpretando Paul Baümer.
It was outstanding. Now please can we have "Blood And Iron" a remake of Sink The Bismarck with modern CGI or a psychological horror set on the interred High Seas Fleet leading up to its scuttling in 1919 showing the isolation, tension and uncertainty amongs the crews? There's lots of ideas.
Great movie! 👏🏽
This movie packs almost the same gut punch as Come and See. Both are beautiful and horrifying in their pov's on war. Both I would consider some of the closest to being called Anti-War. I am of the school of thought that there is no such thing as a true anti war film, but the sentiment can exist and does in these two movies.
Loved the book in English and wanted to read it in German when I started studying that, but there is too much outdated military jargon. Loved this film version of it.
Lifetime military historian here.
I was very disappointed when Germany, Austria, Hungary, and France did so little to observe the 100th anniversary of the Great War... and you'll note that I am not saying 'celebrate'. There is NOTHING to 'celebrate' about a war. Where the UK and Commonwealth did much to recognize the magnitude of the sacrifices of the War, other participants were subdued to the point of ignoring the event. I was disappointed because every opponent has their unique view of the wars they fight and their reasons for going to war can teach a great deal about a people.
"All Quiet on the Western Front" corrected that deficiency in Germany's case and did so in an absolutely stunning way. This film rightly belongs beside '1917' and 'They Shall Not Grow Old' as mandatory viewing for every student of the early 20th Century.
As a historian, I have a mental list of films and TV series that I believe are the most accurate in depicting life in their era. The 2022 'All Quiet' displaced a well-loved classic from that list down to the Honorable Mentions. THAT is how good this movie is.
Let me caution those of you who have not seen it: While not as brutal and visceral as other movies ['Come and See', 'Stalingrad'], 'All Quiet' does not blink even for a moment. You see the horrors of trench warfare in every aspect. I would suggest not seeing this movie before a meal.
Hi would you mind sharing a few movies/TV series you believe give accurate depictions of the different historical eras? I'd be very interested to watch them.
@@sharleneboey OK. First set: American Civil War.
- Lincoln [I will never think of Honest Abe again without hearing Daniel Day Lewis' voice]
- Gettysburg [lotsa stuff wrong with it, but it does do a reasonable job of portraying campaign life and some of the issues]
- Glory [see above]
- Pharaoh's Army [a little known movie from the mid-90's. The Civil War in very small scale]
Second set: Medieval
- Arn: The Knight Templar, 2007 [EXTRAORDINARY TV series, filmed in four languages, telling the story of a man forced to go on Crusade to disprove false charges]
- Medieval, 2022 [the story of Jan Ziska and the beginnings of the Reformation in Central Europe]
- The Lion In Winter, 1968 [Katherine Hepburn as Eleanor of Aquitaine.... she positively devours the role]
I see this movie i feel scared, i think we especially Men will do this again in World War 3 but i honestly i hope WW3 never ever happend... about this movie what a great acting, really goosebumb
In my top ten best war films list
And for added realism, he had people shoot at him as he ran …
This movie should be watched by kids and teenagers. No matter how shitty our life’s today, we are still privileged that we’re not fighting wars (well, most of us)
I really liked this movie!! it was really good, focusing on historical accuracies unlike the movie 1917
the only correct answer to why everyone loved this movie is obviously that we all wish we could be a fly on the wall when crazy shit like that happens
Storm of Steel is worth reading if you want to know what WW1 was like
Shouldn't the title say 'every day' as opposed to 'everyday'? I'm not a grammar Nazi but this is BBC, so maybe the title could be corrected as many people, included me, used to follow BBC to learn/hone their English. I've seen the film and it was fantastic, it's great to see great war films are still being produced and available to stream on popular platforms like Netflix.
Yes, you are right. BBC should know this.
I went there
Doing all that running you'd have thought he was playing a French soldier. 😁
if Felix was some Hollywood repo baby like Ansel Elgort he would have been nominated for an Oscar
The camera guys doing the same thing with a 70 pound camera rig. "I drank till I blacked out last night"
If Felix isn't the front runner for Doctor doom then there's something messed up
I read the book and alot from the book was not in the movie and alot was changed...sad
Wear is the archive of those German letters?
What a great guy and with his english being this good, i can see him in the great foot steps of Christoph Walz
The original book is a masterpiece of its time, this iteration of the film… is being hyped out of all proportion.
Its not that out of proportion. The film does the book a good justice
@@riso9059 in which part? Developers didn't even read it I suspect
@@BadselS "developers" man's talking like this is a video game
@@riso9059 brav, you clearly didn't read the book as well. They took its title to hype up the movie, that's it
@@BadselS nice try spinning your narrative that they made a bad film and did no justice to the book but wheres your proof lmao
15km with a weighted vest gyatt
Sounded more like he said 50km, not 15km. Is that possible?
He said 15
Felix Kammerer ran 15km everyday to prepare for All Quiet on the Western Front | The One Show 1132am 21.2.23 to my mind only two renditions of this tale have been released: the original 1930's version - which is a film it was mooted one shouldn't enjoy and the 70's remake which is still a fine take on the aforementioned tale. nowadays sensibilities seem to have us look in the mirror and wonder how cruddy we look, how terrible our demeanors are, rather than applying those anti-war sentiments to one's day to living or lives (which is the more mature purview) when considering the lilly or the lilly upon one's sons' coffin.... of course, idiots could enjoy a war film for martial spiritedness' sake and enjoy the struggle and miseries induced.... and conjoin with the masses regards the beauty of sending away one's loved ones to their ultimate end. sorry old farts at the breakfast table planning the next campaign is all good and well... anyway, enjoy seems to be the watchword.
It wasn’t good enough to warrant this attention.
It warranted this attention because its based on a book that is probably the most famous and important anti-war message.
OI, bbc media intern. It's "every day" not "everyday" in this context. Everyday is an adjective (that's a describing word, pet) meaning "ordinary". "Every day" (two words) means... as it sounds, every day, and that is what you should have written. You're welcome.
I’m sure he cares
@@dr.disappointment8400 Grammar costs nothing.
Exactly
He should have gone to fight in a trench to prepare for the movie
he is the one who should be in limelight, but the reporters go after zendaya and tom holland's love affair and such shit
15km running per day and then that movie as outcome. Feel bad for him.
Massive historical inaccuracies, only using old cliches of war.
Not even close to the book it claims to be a movie of, only having character names in common, leaving out massive parts of the story.
More fitting name would be "WW1-ish movie - The Film"
It’s a truly misleading and inaccurate account of the conflict you mean
ggs
A true anti war film
Suppose they can't do a German perspective of ww2 lol especially in Germany 😊
No, we can´t. Because movies like "Stalingrad" (1993) or "Das Boot" (1981) were really really crappy and almost unwatchable.
@@elwray3506 I suppose not many big companies want to put the money behind it, but would be some movie
The Nasty Girl The Tin Drum The Marriage of Maria Braun
Mmm……….Generation War? Although that took place mainly in Russia.
@@marknewbold2583I guess they mean more recent movies.
He also had a strict diet consisting of only sour cabbage, goosefat and dirty water. It didn't improve the movie however.
I'm so disappointed that they didn't represent combat more realistically considering all the resources they had. The original is still the best.
Which part of combat are you referring to?
Strange… Real solideres in ww1 didn‘t have to run that far every day, didn‘t they?
No they drove along the trenches...
@@marknewbold2583 Haha, Irony
Die englische Übersetzung ist scheiße.
Bruh can all yall shut up about the book
lmfao who cares 😂😂😂
Remember God loves you♥️!

boo
Such a bad adaption of one the best novels of all time. Clearly they didn’t understand the book at all.
What?? Besides a bit of a change in the plot, the core themes and message stay the same. Understanding source material is knowing the themes front and back and adapting it while remaining faithful to its message.
@@youraveragepasser-by7367 I agree and I wouldn’t mind some changes (tho they changed a lot like adding an entire side plot about the politicians instead of staying in the perspective of the soldiers like the book purposely does). However, they didn’t understand core elements, they didn’t even understand the title. When Paul dies at the end, the reporter writes “All quiet on the Western front“ as if nothing had happened, suggesting that war is meaningless and these young people die for nothing. In the movie it’s a big dramatic moment, which totally erases the meaning of the title. The director accepted the job after his daughter told him that they read the novel in school and that it is really good. He never dreamt of adapting it, the reason he made this film wasn’t because of a deep love for the source material. You can feel that in every scene, the ending is just one example.
@@visions_of_noah haven’t seen the film yet, so I can’t add anything in that regard. But I saw an interview with the director, where he claimed he was already interested in the project since he read the book multiple times in his youth and was quite affected by the story. So when he recognized that the book had a similar impact on his daughter he realized how the book still resonates with current young generation and therefore it’s unchanging relevance. So saying he took on the project on a whim with no prior interest would not correct.
@@visions_of_noah I think adding the politicians side makes it better. By adding it you show that everything is out of the soldiers grasp and that the soldiers are just there to fight the wars waged by the higher ups.
@@syro2412 I agree. The political stuff wasn't to make a 'statement' as such, but to show the tectonic plates shifting, which the soldiers had no control over; the absolute futility of it all.
WHO is interested in it? It is a very mediocre war movie!
