I'm glad WW1 is getting more and more recognition, especially showing the German perspective, both sides suffered the brutality of trench warfare, both of them were young adults that witnessed hell

[nickbagelboy]

I got chills when I heard the whistle. I remember in grade 8, our teacher did a mini reenactment of WW1 with us outside after learning about it in history. We had a big ditch outside that was used as the trench, and he explained to us that when we heard the whistle, we would have to get out of the trench and march into the gun fire, and he would pick people at random and say "you're dead" etc based on the percentage of people that would die during each charge compared to how many of us were participating. It was so eye opening and we ended up learning so much about the war while doing that. I'll never forget that whistle that day. Even I was a bit on edge even though it was just a reenactment. We learned so much in his class. Can't wait to see this movie.

I read this book in high school as a freshman in 2004. One of the most vivid moments, albeit very quickly missed in the read, is when the soldiers are drinking water from a machine gun cooling tray despite the machine oil. You don't know true thirst and it's the things like this that make you realize what we take for granted.

This was honestly one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. So unbelievably well made

[KRAFTPUNK]

We read this book in my junior year of HS. This was a haunting read, I remember thinking “Why have us read this book? Why something so violent, disturbing and miserable?” But now I understand the importance of knowing what horrible things humans are capable of inflicting on each other, even if it’s just for a couple 100 yards of mud…

[c.ladimore]

possibly one of the greatest books i ever read. horrifying. humanizing, no sides. to start a war is always wrong, but to be in one is never straightforward

[davideberhardt]

The opening lines of Remarque's book alone made me uneasy and it only gets more and more terrifying as you turn page after page, with less and less characters making it to the subsequent chapters. War is truly horrible, and this book was so powerful that the Nazis banned & burned it, and then revoked Remarque's citizenship. The unspeakable horrors of the First World War should not occupy the minds of the next generation, because nothing undermines blind faith more than *knowledge*

[purpleperfection]

The German soldiers speaking auf Deutsch is incredibly huge. I love when films have the balls to go all in and sink you into the environment.

[eww]

I'd say the world needs a remake of this urgently, because everyone seems to have forgotten how horrific war is.

[meanredspider]

My grandfathers (both) fought (on the British side) in Belgium and France and both were profoundly mentally and physically changed by the experience. One, even into his 90s, used to have vivid nightmares about drowning in mud. I can’t imagine what they went through but these recent WWI films help me understand the horror of it all for all combatants and civilians involved. Thank you 🙏

[grayfiresoul]

Something with huge potential being released on Netflix for once? The guy who greenlit it needs a raise. The '79 film was wonderful, as was the book.

[andriipanfilov]

Hi. I’m from Ukraine, and I want to tell you - message of this film is the most important thing ! The most. People today talk about war with fun jokes, thinking it’s like a game or indeed an adventure … I’ve been though things I’ve never imagined to see. It’s not a game, it’s not a thing to make jokes about. I’ve seen dead people, dismembered bodies, buildings destroyed in a single hit, rockets explosions and mushroom clouds after it, civilian evacuations, true horror. A nightmare, which never ends, you wish you can wake up, like you usually do but you cannot. And then, dreams become better than reality. You sleep so sweet, even if it’s small and it’s interrupted my bombardment early at the morning … it’s so sweet, you escape this nightmare. War is not about victory, defeat, it’s about every single person and what they endure in order to survive. Politicians wage wars, and normal people suffer…

Can't describe how much this book changed my view towards life and war. Made me appreciate peaceful times so much more.

[Thistory]

"I am young, I am twenty years old; yet I know nothing of life but despair, death, fear, and fatuous superficiality cast over an abyss of sorrow. . . ." - fragment of the book. A powerful and heartbreaking testimony of one of so many young people broken by the Great War. The trailer looks good, can't wait to see the movie.

[codycigar]

The original film is a damn masterpiece and this looks really good too. Something distributed by Netflix that actually looks good for once.

[TheSDKNightmare]

Just saw the movie and it was fantastic - the music, the visuals, the small attention to details like the way soldiers handle their weapons and how they fight in the trenches - it was just amazing. An anti-war film to its core, it is a must-watch even if you haven't read the book.

[Nately]

In a world of endless film re-makes, this, above all else, is a film that should be re-made for every generation.

[DigbyVaineTrumping]

‘We are forlorn like children, and experienced like old men, we are crude and sorrowful and superficial - I believe we are lost’. A quote that has stayed with me for many, many years.

[neilpemberton]

It's wonderful that this is a German film, based on Germany's greatest contribution to anti-war literature.

[VincitOmniaVeritas]

This looks amazing, Netflix. This. THIS is the kind of production we want. This is based on one of the most haunting books I’ve ever read. Can’t remember the last time I was so excited for a streaming release.
