    Great reaction guys! I watched this with my dad and we we both felt so shocked at the end with the last battle. Paul was so close to going home 😢.

      That last battle was shocking for all the wrong reasons. A lot of needless loss of life. Thanks for stopping by, always good to hear from you!

    great reaction guys -what a masterpiece - Edward Berger has conquered the last bastion for Germany in the US, this epic movie earns as many Oscars (4 in 2023) as all German films in the last 60 years together ‼Finally arrived on the throne of the film world in Hollywood. What a glory night - I'm proud of Erich Maria Remarque and Edward Berger and Malte Grunert historical legacy for us Germans. 🎥🔥💪

    Another war film from a German perspective is "Das Boot" from 1981, (the directors cut, with subtitles), for many the submarine film of all and one of the best anti-war films of all time. Greetings from Germany

    In a way, sometimes World War II is referred to as an extension of World War I. It’s like they only took a break to re-populate for a while.

    • @CocktailFlicks

      That's so true. Not only to repopulate, but to upgrade the weaponry as well, and bring in some new and effective tactics. Thanks for stopping by!

    44:45 to be fair they didnt try to make the french look like the bad people. The whole storyline based on Paul is basically fiction based on a random soldier that remarque wrote back then. The Netflix production took creative freedom and put this armistice discussion in there which is actually pretty much how it played out back then and less fictional.
    The treaty was basically negotiated in a train car between Ferdinand Foch (the french guy) and Mathias Erzberger (the german guy). Erzberger was really pushing the war to end as soon as possible, as he was quite catholic, anti war and a member of the social democrat party. The treaty was kinda unrealistic in general. Like they wanted germany to surrender more submarines than they actually had.

    Such a senseless war. And one that could have been so easily avoided so many times in 1914 during the July crisis.
    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 (and even if it was avoided then, it could just as well have started over something else later).
    After all, those leaders 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.

    the one thing that annoys me in this movie is skipping the boot camp they did; it makes it look like they went straight from getting their gear. I mean, the book clearly showed they did training before heading to the front!

    • @CocktailFlicks
      @CocktailFlicks  23 дні тому +1

      I remember Boot Camp in the movie from the 70's, and it was an important part as I remember too. I would have liked to see that as well!

    german ex soldier here, 14:56 you said like, what a horrible is this... is another war less horrible? ( ..btw i pray for the brave ukrainian soldiers and their families, some of whom are being bombed and killed with cruise missiles in their homeland. btw ... Suspension of compulsory military service decided on March 24, 2011.. by law! since then only german soldiers like in a normal job (

    • @CocktailFlicks
      @CocktailFlicks  5 місяців тому +4

      I would imagine that all wars are equally horrible. This particular war had millions of soldiers bogged down in trench warfare, which lead to an unnecessary loss of life, and in return, little to nothing was gained. I do understand that all wars cost the lives of many good people, but for this movie, I reacted to the moment the way I did. I'm glad to hear that Compulsory military service was suspended. Hopefully for good. Our hearts go out to the brave soldiers as well. Thank you for your service, and for sharing your thoughts with us!

      plus it got less and less accurate the longer they used it and hence the risk of friendly fire got bigger and bigger. ernst jünger (author of "storm of steel" - the other big WW1-novel) talked about that.

    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 .

    • @jasonmartin2388

      The movie was inspired by the book, not an adaptation of it. The director said if you want to watch an adaptation of the book go watch one of the older All Quiet on the Western Front movies. Also, a lot of Germans hated it, particularly Hitler and the Nazis because it was and is an anti war book.
