| Beskrivelse: [ Dansk Engelsk ]
Tyskland 1914. Første Verdenskrig er begyndt. Berusede af naive drømme om ære og heltedåd ankommer unge mænd til vestfronten - helvedes forgård. Krigen skulle gøre drenge til mænd, og mænd til helte. Men virkeligheden slår tilbage med fuld kraft på en brændende slagmark mellem endeløse skyttegrave. Beskrivelse: [ Dansk Engelsk ]
Unlike most message films which date themselves almost immediately, Lewis Milestone's low-key unpolished and deeply-felt screen adaptation of the Erich Maria Remarque anti-war novel has lost little of its original impact. Years after its release it was still being banned in countries mobilizing for war.
The plot follows a group of young German recruits in World War I through their passage from idealism to disillusionment. As the central character Paul Baumer (Lew Ayres) declares, We live in the trenches and we fight. We try not to be killed - that's all. All Quiet is an anthology of now famous scenes: Ayres trapped in a shell crater with a man he has killed; the first meeting of the recruits and the veterans; infantrymen being mowed down to machine-gun visual rhythms; a moonlight swim with French farm girls; Ayres' pacifist speech to his astonished schoolmates; and the final shot of the soldier's hand reaching for a fatal butterfly. |
