I can understand why this was voted the Best Picture.

It's easy to see how All Quiet on the Western Front inspired the war epics of today. From the sets to the performances to the special effects, this is an impressive film. It is, however, a little surreal to watch a WWI movie with Germans as the protagonists, made in 1930, when WWII was only a few years away. I can understand why this was voted the Best Picture.
