They Sing Joyfully While Marching Not Knowing It Will Be Their Last Happiness

War breaks out in Germany in 1914. Paul Bäumer and his classmates quickly enlist in the army to serve their fatherland. No sooner are they drafted than the first images from the battlefield show them the reality of war.

Love the scene when they use the dead soldiers uniforms and just take out the name tag.

The worst part is, the young fight and die while the old get the recognition

[devinbarnes]

this movie was depressing but shows how war really is on people.

[diggilad]

one of my relatives was killed by a German in WW1 in 1918. Sad to see how war can change so many lives. His Name was Alfred Russel and he is buried in a graveyard in France as his final resting place. Godspeed Alfred, Godspeed.





edit: I have made a few mistakes. 1. he was not French. 2. He died in 1918

The real Paul Baumer was a commoner, he was a private in the infantry at the start of the war when they wore the picklehaube. He was decorated for bravery on the battlefield and was given the option to serve any unit he wanted he chose the Imperial German Air Service and was a flying Sergeant, aka Fighter Pilot, he became an ace with multiple victories and if I recall would become an officer and if memory serves was awarded the Blu max. He actually survived the war and died in an aircraft accident in the 1920's, a friend of his wrote the book that this movie is based on.

I grew up loving history, being so happy we left it all behind, the mass armies of peer to peer bloodshed. being so young I foolishly didn’t understand what was happening in the Middle East, I feel most people there didn’t. But to have that crushing feeling, the soul sinking feeling that after 100 years of that bloodbath of a war, Ukraine is invaded. Now thousands and thousands are thrown against their fellow man for what? Made up reasons, “politics” or a map needs to look a certain way. I don’t care what your thoughts are about Ukraine, what hurts me is that humans are no better now then we where then, we have better things be we are no better

They all died for NOTHING, on all sides.

It’s interesting to think that if Wilhelm II hadn’t dismissed Bismarck WWI more than likely would have never happened, a pragmatic and skillful master of diplomacy he probably would have been able curbed the Austrian urge for revenge, negotiated a compromise with the Serbs, and calm the nerves of the Russians and preempted their mobilization and kept whatever fighting that erupted contained….this is however mere speculation and a “what if”……

[stephenpowstinger]

I’ve heard a few people complain that this version of the story changes the ending - and made the story worse.
All wars are a little different although they have things in common. WWI was unique for its long stalemate.
Army, Vietnam 1968.

[marilyntaylor]

I bet not one soldier in WWI could tell you what that war was about.

[ganboonmeng]

Those who glamour war should be made to sit through this movie !

[waynesutton]

Join the army! - "they say! ... It will be fun they say! "

My grandfather William was born in 1887. Italian front Alpini Fiamme Verdi. He runned on many battlefields from Isonzo to Piave. Caporetto, Vidor, Solstizio. First wave bayonet assaults. The hell in earth, every time the grass changed colour. He was a survivor. Rip.

[csnnav]

such a sad movie man
rip to everyone that died in every war that happened in this shitty world we live in

[snowyboi]

This movie shows how "Great" a war is... I guess war will never change.

[productsandfame]

Wow never seen a movie POV from the German side. It's always the allied side in any movies.

[littletrainguy]

Man i loved the movie but couldn't get past the moment where he and the frenchman were in the shellhole together

[justadutchman]

Young men dying in Old men’s Wars.
War’s, indeed, never changes.. 😞
Whole generations of men lost.. and for what?
Live in the Sunshine ☀️

[jeffreyrothman]

The Italian front was very similar. Those on the high ground kept it. Hundreds of thousands died. The twelve Isonzo campaigns were an exercise in idiocy.
