A rare film explaining the World War I

Rating: 9/10 (11 March 2008)

There are lots of film which explain the realities of World War II and it's not common for me to read comments of top class films before watching them and so I thought it was a World War II film at the first moments of it. But I enjoyed for this fact because there are rare films about War I.
There are too many scenes like the conversation of two enemies in a hole and the final scene all of which leaves a mark in cinema history. I especially won't forget Corporal Stanislaus Katczinsky who adapt young soldiers for army. According to the story, young men who study in schools are encouraged by their teachers to fight for Germany.
Explaining the spiritual and physical conditions of soldiers, this film is a masterpiece for me. I had watched lots of film, but none of them could make such great effect in my mind. As the introduction paragraph said, "it will try simply to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped its shells, were destroyed by the war."
The film also says the main themes in it from a soldier to another: "The War don't ask the thoughts of tramps like you". In fact, who the real tramps are, a man easily understand by watching it. In other words, is a man tramp for killing one or some men in the battlefield or is an emperor tramp to give a nonsense decision for killing lots of nations and together with hopes.
One more comment that I admire from a critic: Year:2008 All Quiet On The World Front...
