The third best picture winner.

Rating: 9/10 (1 November 2019)

All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) is a war movie that does NOT try to glorify going to war like others from the genre. It was the third movie to win 'best picture' at the Academy Awards and it deserved it. It shows you how harrowing, terrifying and haunting it is to be on the front lines. It shows you the marks that the wars leave on the soldiers bodies and souls when they who are lucky enough to, return home. The action sequences in this film were beautifully shot and seemed so realistic. This is easily one of the best war films I have watched and I am ashamed I left it so long.
