Can a film really be anti-war because any war film, even if it doesn’t glamorize war, is consumed in the context of entertainment? This film does many things I like, such as showing the horror of warfare, naive expectations vs reality, and the blame of politicians who sit in comfortable chairs while executing millions of people. I think the Mayans had got it down. Instead of war, our politicians should play a game of basketball/volleyball and the politicians on the side that loses should be put to death
Synopsis
Paul Baumer and his friends Albert and Muller, egged on by romantic dreams of heroism, voluntarily enlist in the German army. Full of excitement and patriotic fervour, the boys enthusiastically march into a war they believe in. But once on the Western Front, they discover the soul-destroying horror of World War I.
