An All-time Great

Rating: 10/10 (24 January 2004)

This version is without a doubt one of the two greatest anti-war movies ever made. The other greatest anti-war movie being, of course, Paths of Glory. The beginning scenes of the jingoism presented by the college youths is exactly what the Kaiser and his followers wanted and needed.

As the war progressed and the life of the average foot soldier is shown, the living conditions, the horrors of battle, vividly depict the wanton disregard and waste of human life.
An epic movie for all times.
