Thank god you watched the movie in its original language with subtitles, you made the right choice. Good reaction!
Fr It makes the film much more authentic
@@hezer3436 Although the subtitles are wrong sometimes.
I've seen the movie in a lokal cinema... It had a limited run to qualify for the oscars. When the credits rolled, no one in the audiance said a word. We left the cinema in silence. It was one of the most impressive moive experiences of my life...
The soundtrack of this movie is indescribably haunting.
And not to mention the parallels of what’s happening in UKR right now. The only thing we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history.
@@Thicctionary so long as brainwashed idiots keep obeying the orders of their political leaders, nothing will change
@@Thicctionaryit's human nature, we will never change the only thing that changes is the scale we do it on.
If it is the human nature then ...why all these lies ? ( Apocalypse now from Coppola)
Where have you been?
One thing I really appreciate about this movie is the age of the actors.
The four friends, at the start, are just seventeen y o kids.
There are so many war movies, which show soldiers who are played by 30 and 40 y o actors. Sure, there are older soldiers, as well.
But the reality - especially of those wars - was different. Most soldiers were young men in their late teens or early twenties.
And they displayed this very well, in this film.
No they are all 24 - 28 years old
@@Lezduit1 Netflix says they're 17 in the description. Youre wroooooooooooooong
@@Keyndoriel Well that's their supposed age in the movie then lol, not the age of the actors.
@@Lezduit1 ... Obviously.
When Paul is killing the soldier in the ditch.. I've rarely come across a more harrowing and heartbreaking sequence in a modern film. This film is brutally beautiful and utterly devastating.
And that score...
Did you notice at the end when that new soldier is collecting dog tags, he gets distracted by the scarf Paul had and completely forgot to grab his dog tag? So Paul would never be identified, his family would never have closure, and he’d be one of countless soldiers left unidentified in WWI.
I thought it was franz😂
This is based off of a book by the same name, the author was a German imperial soldier in WW1, while Paul's story is fictional, the lifestyle he lives is 1 for 1 what the author and his friends experienced and felt. This book was actually banned by the Nazis for being "anti war propaganda" and had all copies they could find burned, they also called for the author to turn himself in for his "crime" however he had already fled the country so the Nazis behdead his sister and sent him the execution bill. Sad all the way around. I love this book.
Theres a little known sequel called the road back, characters are different but is implied they belong to the same regiment or company as the frist book, it even features tjaden, the lone survivor of the first book first batch. It is even more fatalist and pessimistic than the first one as soldiers struggle to reincorporate the civilian life and their views against society that according to them "put them through hell and they dont even seem to regret it"
It's historically been easy to get young men riled up and excited to go to war because they don't know they're not invincible yet.
Still holds true to this day
@@LalaDepala_00 It does. I think in general people are less inclined to want to fight than we were in past eras. There are now a lot more constructive ways to avail oneself of that quality of invincibility.
The farmer's position is understandable. The Germans both invade his country and rob his home, and his family has probably gone hungry many times because of the war. They basically took food out of that kid's mouth, and he does not look well-fed. Maybe he lost a member of his family too, either in the war or from deprivation.
The novel was banned in Germany during the 1930s.
The Nazi party considered it "anti-German" and was included in the books to be burned.
Great review. Thanks for posting it.
Where are you
Thanks for your empathetic reaction. I hadn´t seen parts of this film before but I knew about it. I wonder how anybody could still not realize, not deeply feel the message of this film, especially here in Germany, or actually in any other country that had been involved in any kind of war, so that means about almost every country. In diesem Sinne: Nie wieder Krieg, die Waffen nieder!
you good bro?
He dead
@@Suremane nawwww
Hope he's doing alright
“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
Another brilliant WWI movie is Stanley Kubrick's 1957 "Paths of Glory", ( a true story) if you don't mind films being black and white it really is worth watching. I want to say thank you for choosing the german original, I read the book when I was 17 (that was in the previous century🙂)and have seen both the other 2 movies of it, was great to see the way you followed the story and your comments.
Such an amazing film. You really do go through all kinds of emotions while watching this masterpiece.
Beyond the carnage represented in this movie, that i believe it must have been millions time worse, the moment of this movie that hits me the most is at 10:46, the contrast between the innocence of them being just 17 years old or less kids and the hard soldier life they had to live because of other, makes me cry everytime.
Yo, CI, been a while since you've uploaded. Hope you're doing good and staying healthy! Excited for the return whenever you're ready. Peace.
He was an Ai bot
Miss you good sir and I hope your doing well our friend
He was an Ai boy
Erich Maria Remarque wrote "all quiet" about his own experiences of the war.
If you want to understand what the invalids went through, read "johnny got his gun" by Dalton Trumbo.
Look up the paintings by Otto Dix.
For more contemporary fiction dealing with veterans of this war, watch the first couple of seasons of "Boardwalk empire"
Where are you man? Did you stop posting?
Such a senseless war. And one that could have been so easily avoided so many times in 1914.
Like when Serbia accepted pretty much the whole ultimatum from Vienna, except for like one single point (sending Austro-Hungarian officials into Serbia to conduct investigations on the assassination of Franz Ferdinand and all "hostile" elements in Serbia).
But certain military and political leaders were hellbent on getting this war. After all, they weren't the ones sitting in a trench in the mud. They weren't the ones doing all the killing, or the dying, or getting crippled, or starving, or freezing. They were sitting in their warm and cozy offices and rooms, pushing units around on a map and fantasising about all the land they could conquer. That never changes.
And once the war was on, the obstinacy of those very same leaders who rejected to even think about a negotiated peace or any compromises made that whole slaughter last for four years, until it all came crashing down, with Austria-Hungary completely breaking apart from the inside and the population in Germany starving due to the British blockade.
This film actually impressed me. Great reaction bro! 👍🏿
"as long as men will hide their animal nature behind words , there will be wars and destruction".
Henry Laborit ( Eulogy of flight)
Would sugest "Das Boot" if you want to give another German perspective a try
Awesome Movie
On par with All Quiet
You should also look into watching the original 1930's version in B&W they did a remake in 1970's made for TV but very well done. For other WW1 movies "Gallipoli" (1981) w/ Mel Gibson / "The Lighthorsemen" (1987) the final charge at the end of the movie is a masterpiece of filmmaking / "Lawrence of Arabia" (1962) / "1917" (2023) & Peter Jackson's "They Shall Not Grow Old" w/ the 30 min making of doc.
Thank you for this reaction! This movie is so well done and so heartbreaking.
17 mil dead and all those war years front never moved, like soldiers where killing in same place for years, its like a football field, you win the trench and another side takes beck , they take your trench you take beck and all this time in same shitty place
All wars are hell...but wwi was ....something else. 1917 is a great wwi movie
It´s a masterpiece!
Hi Caped Informer, thanks for your reaction. Maybe try Das Boot.
Oh by the way , 'Back to the Future' Part 3 please 🙂
It means war is war no day gets better when he says “it’s the same every day”
Is this channel closed now?
I think so..informant’s gone to the other side
Where is he st now? @@YODAJJ
He got Me Tooed
@@Suremane really?
Where are you Caped Informer? MIA
you should watch Das Boot (1981) its very realist represation how was life on german submarine in ww2
The book is superb.
Missing your content man! I hope you are safe and doing well. Please update us and let us know you are ok.
He dead
@@Suremane Why you think he's dead?
@@Jryder-f7xjust saw him post a story on Ig alive and well. Looked like Jamie enjoying salsa dancing classes
@@willthorburn1985 Glad to know he's doing well! Appreciate the info! 👍
@@Jryder-f7x There are always people making up stories to scare people... idk what's wrong with them
A muddy slaughterhouse under an open sky.
Where the Sopranos reactions @ ?!
I know right, I worried that he might have giving up on it😢😔
Give it a try and watch some episodes of Babylon Berlin.
The best and most important war movie I have ever seen is Charlie Chaplin's the Great Dictator, from 1940.
It's actually not directly a war film. But it is definitely a must watch movie for... for everybody.
Heyy you definitely gotta check out philadelphia . It’s another amazing film starring Denzel Washington and Tom Hanks. Its great film depicting a dark time in history that shows the hysteria surrounding AIDS/HIV crises
Producers: we need to make the most disgusting, horrific war movie ever made. It needs to be nothing but, mud, lead and pointless carnage.
WWI: Don’t worry, I got you.
I recommend
Warhorse
1917
Paths of glory
In regard to the statistics there at the end- nobody really knows how many died in that war. Estimates are all over the place.
Here are some (extremely rough)
Casualty figures
Verdun: 700,000 - 1,000,000
Spring off: 1,500,000
Somme I: 1,000,000 - 1,300,000
Gorlice Tarnow Off: 1,100,000
Paschendale: 500,000-1,000,000
100 days Off, 1,800,000- 2,300,000
Brusilov Off: 1,200,000-2,000,000
I've studied the history of WW 1....first lesson....it was a meat grinder. Peace!
Another good one is a ww2 movie called come and see and it takes place as a russian kid turned soldier. He is similar to the protagonist here but is russian instead.
“Come and See”. It stays with you long after you watch it.
@@tomfowler381 yea I'd say it's even more fucked up Than this movie and the older all quiet on the western front. When the German solders put a pistol to his head like holy shit id shit my pants.
It's also free on RUclips atm 😉 😉 that's usually how the reviewers of movies watch it.
@@tomfowler381 he already watched it. It's a brutal one.
German Cinema is top tier
Bro, you got to check out Battle of Britain (1969) Its about the German air attack on Britain, and they use REAL ww2 planes unlike every other movie. They have real WW2 air force veterans and real ww2 air planes. Its a masterpiece, and there will never ever be another movie like this ever made again.
Caped Informer, Would you consider this to be one of the most gruesome movies youve ever watched on this channel and life? Im curious what youd say is higher on the list.
Probably the movie, Come and See
@@CapedInformer yes, that was a hard watch.
I'd love you to react to Michael Collins or The Wind that Shakes the Barley
The Red Baron and Flyboys are great WW1 movies about the first air combat
You should do a video of "The legend of drunken Master" 1994 version
You should look at the film 1917 great film
Caped informer, never forget these German guys are on an invaded country, never ever forget that
You need to watch heneral luna and heneral luna is a real general on the Philippine american war its a true story please watch it
Blindspotting please
The Expendables 2... please.
Thank's!!
The special thing about WW1 is that it was old and new warfare meeting. Horses were still being used while tanks were rolling in.
Millions of horses were used in the Second World War. Btw. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horses_in_World_War_II?wprov=sfla1
Another German masterpiece.
Fun fact: The Germans never had slavery or slave markets. What the British and French achieved in 100 years with enormous slavery, Germans did in 40 years with hard work. Yes the Germans had colonies but unlike the British and French the Germans invested in these colonies because they were a base to protect our trade. Which was absolutely unthinkable at the time as everyone else in Africa was just letting hell loose. You can also look at the comparison between the British Empire and the German Empire in terms of economy. We were almost on par with the British even though we didn't even had nearly as many colonies. In addition, the British colonies contributed much more to their economy than Great Britain itself. For us it was exactly the opposite... Germany contributed 70% of the economy.
The German Empire was truly an absolute high.
From 1871 to 1923, the Germans were also responsible for *90* percent of ALL scientific and medical advances in the world with incredible inventions like the car, motorcycle, camera, etc.
Before the British started World War I because they were jealous of us, it was actually the best 40 years ever here in Germany. Of course, based on today's technology, less so, but for the time... Absolutely unbelievable. At this time the first health insurance company was even introduced here in Germany by Otto von Bismarck. They still don't exist in the US today.
Furthermore, German workers under Wilhelm II were the best paid workers in Europe.
Some German inventions:
- Light bulbs (Heinrich Göbel 1854)
- The Telephone (Johann Philip Reis 1859)
- Dynamoelectric principle, tram, busbar, founder of modern electronics (Werner von Siemens 1866)
- The 35mm camera (Oskar Barnack 1925)
- Nuclear fission and atomic bomb (Otto Hahn - emigrated to the Americans during National Socialism - 1938)
- The chip card or microprocessor card (Jürgen Dethloff and Helmut Gröttrub 1969)
- Periodic Table (Julius Luther Meyer 1864)
- Jeans (Levi Strauss 1873)
- The record player, record - (Emil Berliner 1887)
- Aspirin - which all great athletes use to relieve pain and which saved countless lives (Felix Hoffmann 1879)
- Spark plug (Robert Bosch 1902)
- Thermos flask (Reinhold Burger 1903)
- the toothpaste (Ottomar Heinsius von Mayenburg)
- The coffee filter (Melitta Bentz)
- Cassette recorder (Fritz Pfleumer 1928)
- Tea bags (Adolf Rambold 1929)
- The jet engines, jet propulsion, first war rockets V1, V2 of the Nazis (Hans von Ohain 1929)
- First Rocket General (Hans von Ohain)
- The Helicopter (Heinrich Focke 1936)
- The first car (Carl Benz - With Honorary Schnauzer - 1886)
- First computer (Konrad Zuse 1941)
- Fanta (Yes Fanta during Nazi era, Wolfgang Schetelig 1940)
- The typewriter (Peter Mitterhofer - 1869)
- NASA (actually the US bought thousands of German engineers to build NASA because they can't do it themselves)
- The first printing press (which was probably the best invention of all time because now people could start printing books, Johannes Gutenberg - 1440)
- Motorcycle (Gottlieb Daimler 1885)
- Birth control pill (Schering AG 1961)
- the trigger of the gold rush (Johann August Sutter was Swiss, but actually German since he was born in Germany, but Swiss and German are one blood anyway, who started the gold rush in America. Not an inventor, but cool fact - 1848)
- Diesel engine (Rudolf Diesel 1897)
- Adidas (Adolf Dassler 1949)
- Puma (Rudolf Dassler 1948)
Germany, the land of poets and thinkers. that's what they called it. Today the land of complete idiots and deluded people.
I'd appreciate it if you watch anything directed by OR just starring Edward Burns
My top 3 suggestions:
CONFIDENCE
SHE'S THE ONE
SIDEWALKS OF NEW YORK
Now listen to War Pigs
You should do a reaction on the Front Line (Korean War Movie) if you thought this was good you have to check it out.
Caped watch robot dreams
Did sopranos... Fail?
Please react to “the Irishman” by scorsese❤
There was this certain German corporal.......
Went and conquered France in one month
@@rubenlopez3364 yep
Of course he survived multiple years of that s storm. Unbelievable
Hey would you be interested in reacting to this movie maximum overdrive I will tell you now though songs that are in the soundtrack that this movie are incredible and you'll definitely like the movie and everything about it
This is a crazy movie. Sad 😢
100
either mans an ai bot or this channel be cooked cause he aint doin shit
So is this a dead channel now?
can't beleive you belittled the kid living under occupation and being regularly stolen from.
The Germans were blamed for starting WW1, but in truth, the russians started WW1. The russians intervened in an Austria-Hungary internal affair and declared war on Austria-Hungary, Germany then got involved. This was a regional war between russia Austria-Hungary and Germany but then the Uk and France declared war on Germany and a world war was started. The UK and France are responsible for starting WW1 and WW2
Good thing they did...
@ernestasmazeika6245 millions of men, women and children died because the UK and France started two world wars, and your ok with it.
Frankly , this movie is AWFUL either representing the book or the Great War , sucking at historical accuracy or source material accuracy .
Funnily enough , a lot of German Veterans boycotted the book , hating its message .
yes and a lot of them german veterans later joined the nazis. what’s your point?
This is about the 100 Days Offensive, where Britain and France finally broke Imperial Germany's back in the last month's of WW1 in 1918. It sucks most movies focus on WW2 and Hitler, when it's WW1 that is a much more of a poignant tragedy and really set the modern world in its course.
Bro it's been a few months let us know u OK? We worried about u man
He dead
@@Suremane nah I'm sure "he alive" he seems to be going through some difficulties at the moment
Liked this version MUCH more ... i even think this version on youtube have been cut down in lenght i saw it on Danished television and as i recall it was cut up in atleast 3 episodes maybe even 4 ....
ruclips.net/video/MhC4ESwuPPI/видео.html
I had hoped the 2022 brought the EXACT same story but with WAY better fight scenes .... it ONLY brought the last mentioned SADLY ..... and that to me made the 2022 movie FAIL .... atleast in my eyes !
They DIDNT stick with the ORIGINAL novell !
The version ive linked here from youtube originaly last for over 4 hours as i recall !
It dives more into the characters of the movie .... and you get a "feeling" for em as they die or dessert .... and the character "Cat" especially and you feel like the "main" character of the movie dont realize or wont realize that "Cat" IS dead !
BOATLIFT An Untold Tale of 9/11 Resilience EVERYONE SHOULD SEE THIS AND LEARN FROM IT I enjoy your reactions Thank You
