Kids playing bf1 at 9 years thinking ww1 was a great adventure

If there were laws that a soldier's minimum age will be 30 years old and have had a previous minimum net income of $100K/yr. ...there would be no war....nobody to fight it.

@@bbranett2188 Biden/Zelensky...murderers.

pareil

I liked fly boys because I love Jean Reno 😂 but yes I do like films like Der rote Baron Das boot all quit on the western front. Generation war. Stalingrad 1993. America needs to stop overshadowing ww2 and stop saying they are the reason for all success in the world. Fk off. 😂 Hence why I love Europeans and British More.

In Germany, soldiers from the past did not receive any honors or even names after the fact. Especially not from WWII, since they were all fascists and Nazis. Everything is prevented from young people from taking something like this as a role model. Politicians are paying very close attention to this. War films are reviewed and evaluated very critically in Germany. Even All Quiet on the Western Front has been titled as the worst war movie of all time by some film critics. However, I find it outstanding and absolutely worth seeing. Even if it's hard to bear.

It's hardly 'dying to defend' when you are on the offense... 🙄

​@@miramoche8901Don't talk. Die for your country. Have fun.

They have literally invaded sovereign countries.

Alas children are often used as cannon fodder.

It’s not just the German POV. It’s the human POV.

The book is pretty much an autobiography of the author's experience on the western front, just with some names changed. So of course it would be from the German point of view, it was a German who wrote it.

@@edelgyn2699 well, not just that. From an Australian perspective, we had just become 'Federated' (not independent though) and the men of Australia were so excited about going overseas on an "adventure", not really understanding what war really was. So much so that despite the enlistment age being 16, many young boys as young as 12 actually lied about their age & disappeared from home only to be writing to their families on the front lines. They freely went themselves. We now call them 'the lost generation'. as those poor boys who did survive came home utterly broken.

Movie is trash.

and biden/nuland/vanderleyen want this for you and your sons.......... lol

@@Ahahahhaaahyour moms Pusey was 😂

​@@theroldan8675 This is by far the dumbest comment I've seen today. The movie is a human reiteration on world war 1 from 1917. the only political meaning behind this is to deviate all ages from war by showing its honest, brutal truth.

we abuot to get into ww3 real soon, thats why all these war films are coming out

@@ChieftainHawke you think so? I don't understand could you please explain more?

That was not my grandfather's experience. He fought through the wheat fields of northeastern France in 1918 in the Allied counteroffensive almost constantly on the move.

@@tomas2818 no

@@SpaceTravel1776 yeah 1914 and 1918 were very different from the 1915-1917 grind

@@haydenthomas_LoveYWH 😂

Just finished the film as well. Most definitely shed a few tears. Knowing how gentlemen around the globe endured such horrendous atrocities make my stomach turn sideways. Was most definitely a masterpiece.

It's nearly as brutal as Come and See. Just doesn't have that "other side sympathy is only acceptable."

It was that depressing because the makers of the film wanted to show how brutal and how miserable and terrible that war was.

It’s such a good film but so sad. You can see in the beginning Paul is a bright young soldier with lots of excitement and by the end he is just an empty shell of a man.

Brutal? Anytime there was any violence, I was immediately reminded I was watching a movie. They put extreme effort into creating a convincing battlefield, then almost no effort into creating convincing violence.

@John I meant beautiful in the sense that the ability of the author to accurately capture the horror of WWI and the loss that the young soldiers felt not only in terms of losing friends but also in the ability to live a normal life since many joined before they establish a family, a career, or roots to come back to. "The war has ruined us for everything. He is right. We are not youth any longer. We don’t want to take the world by storm. We are fleeing. We fly from ourselves. From our life. We were eighteen and had begun to love life and the world; and we had to shoot it to pieces. The first bomb, the first explosion, burst in our hearts. We are cut off from activity, from striving, from progress. We believe in such things no longer..." So while the subject matter is haunting, the author's writing style captured that horror in a beautiful way.

Except its a remake. The original came out in the 1930's and used real german veterans as background actors.

Hey good thing it's not an original, words have meaning.

It is an amazing book, one of my favourite written ever. If it's well done I can see this film being an all time favourite.

@@durnaxe8708 You're right, I meant to say a Netflix film, not original.

SS? ☠️

He was paramedic or was playing in the company orchestra I presume.

@@HomareNishitani957 not every german soldier was apart of the ss.

When I was a kid in the 70's there was an old man lived across the alley who had been a German soldier. He was missing an eye and was always nice to the kids. It would be interesting to hear their stories but I was to young to have any concept.

@@HomareNishitani957 probably just Wehrmacht

I think it's a sequence of the type of "the ordinary day", I found it effective at setting the bar for later scenes, one when the protagonist is handed the uniform, and later after the barrage when he gets told "everyday is the same" or something like that

That feels normal to me.

As a dressmaker that loves history I love that the girl knew how to actually work the machine. Not at all am important detail in the overall movie but I appreciated it

That's not saying much.

@@truereaper4572 have you watched the movie?

and disturbing when you realize that one day maybe that will be us

Nexflix didn't make the movie smh

Agreed.

"Any war is useless unless you fight for freedom." the problem is that this sentence can mean anything, can justify any war, some people think they fight in a good war, some other no, and what is freedom? Like what war was useful ? No we should think of why did those wars happens, what triggered them, what did they do, who wanted those wars If there is a war in your country, what would you do today? Fight? run?

@@Dhieen You are right on your thoughts and I agree with you. But... Freedom is the right to speak, the right to move, its when you have no fear, but you have to respect the freedom of the one by your side. Is the right to love any god or none, to be white, brown, yellow or black. The right to be Hetero, homo, bi or whatever. The right to be comunist, liberal or capitalist. Freedom brings responsabiltiy. If we dont have these rights, what do we have?

Pretty sure every war is a fight for freedom as one side will be looking to fend off the territorial aggression of the invader. “Fighting for freedom” is really just a narrative.😂😂

@@randomcon123 Cant agree with you for obvious reasons... Freedom starts on human rights. If you have it, you are probably a free person. If you dont have it, you might be seen as a animal or a slave or something that can be wasted just because... For me, its simple as that.

@@ebalona yes, freedom itself is a intrinsec good, but "to fight for freedom" is almost always your country telling you how the enemy is a threat to your freedom, while they are told the same about you

So true, war is Hell

@@DanielGervais My brother was a door gunner in Vietnam. He faced the Viet Cong storming the fences at Da Nang airfield during the Tet Offensive. He was wounded twice and received two Bronze Stars and two Purple Hearts. Afterward, while in the hospital. a request came for any ambulatory patients to help with clean up at the Catholic orphanage. He had helped the nuns and played with the children during his free time. He loved little kids. He was six foot five and had a goofy smile. The kids called him Người khổng lồ vui tính (The funny giant). He thought he was going to help clean up wreckage and assist the nuns. When the Deuce and a Half pulled up to the scene, Danny was handed body bags. For the next day, he gathered pieces of the children and nuns. The dead were placed in body bags and then buried en masse in the Catholic Cemetary. After his two tours in Vietnam, he returned to us. Once while we were watching a movie one of the characters said; "War is hell." Danny got up with tears in his eyes and as he left the room he said in an emotional voice said: "I prefer hell!" For almost five decades, the faces of the dead haunted his dreams. My brother was euthanized by the VA in 2017 after fracturing a femur while under their "care."

Yeah this least dosent feel forced or cashcrab movie for long time

No it doesn't. They could have adapted the far-superior Storm of Steel.

that's what they want you to believe

It means you are a great man. Yeah we are all standing on the shoulders of giants.

You seem like a great human being

Yes I had a similar reaction after turning it off. Just kind of sat there in the dark for a few minutes and paid attention to my world. Amazing flick. Very powerful.

Totally agree. The old makes dumb decisions and the young must die for their stupidity. Does this sound fair to you?

@@jonfreeman9682 oh yes! it's exactly what i've been saying! thank you so much for saying it! love and respect brother

@@jonfreeman9682 maybe the young should grow up then and stop being naive

@@KingdomRepublic Well that's what a lot of them did. They deserted the war. Even now many Russians left to avoid joining a war against Ukraine as they don't believe in it. This is why you need term limits so you don't have dinosaurs stay in power forever.

Same! I cried so much when (spoilers below) Kat and Paul died also when Paul stabbed the French soldier and saw his wife and child I cried so much.

Came here to say the same but I didn’t cry 😭 coz I’m a double hard bastard

I really didn't appreciate them killing off characters that weren't meant to die in the book

I find myself in the same situation, at least we can find some comfort here in this comment section, and not behind enemy trenches :c

me too- i rarely cry from movies but this got me twice

It's better

Because you're mentioning Saving Private Ryan, I want to recommend watching Come and See (1985) by Elem Klimov. It's probably the best anti-war films of all time.

Watch beast of no nation next

this is the "Saving Private Ryan" version of WW 1

I agree. There are not a lot of war movies showing their side, most of them just showing the US to be superior and the good guys. This one gives a much appreciated nuance on the whole situation. You almost feel sorry for soldiers thinking they could all have been good pals and shared a beer together had it not been for the war. They are all suffering and paying because of the stupidity and ego of old men. They wouldn't even join their men but talk big about sacrifice and glory... Ugh

Sure people blame german due to 2nd world war image forgetting French cooked it up with astonishingly harsh & humiliating terms of the "traité de Versailles" (and yeap i'm French). 1st world war was a "battle of ego", & over pushed patriotism, fear (England feared what Germany could become), revenge (for the French who take the chance to take Alsace & Loraine back...) None of those have anything to do with the starting point of the war. To me WWI is what war is. For in war there is no victors, only dead and survivors, the rest is propaganda. What come out victorious in wars is ideas... and most of the time not the one you wish to promote, and a lot of them are like snakes in your boots.

@@sortilien2099 most of the blame actually falls on the countries that escalated the Balkan Crisis. (Austria Hungary and Russia). I wouldn’t really blame France for it.

10th grade for me with the book, never watched the movie after reading the book/

yea im kinda a tank entusiast, I played war thunder and went the museum in bovington but I never even saw that tank lol

Ayy I did that in 9th

I've never seen the '79 film, but the 1930 film is astounding, highly recommend it. Should probably read the book, now that I think about it.

@@danielchu1539 they had tv then? lol

If he died 5 decades after fighting, doesn't that make him around 70? Isn't that extremely impressive for his context?

@@zachrabaznaz7687 he breathed some of the gas in before he could get his gas make on. He got sick then but recovered but it did damage his lungs. His health wasn’t the same afterwards. Many soldiers die years or even decades after battle from injuries they sustained, it’s not unusual.

@@zachrabaznaz7687 🤦🏻‍♂️

Your grandfather is a hero

Without WWI happening or finishing the way it did, the factors leading to the rise of totalitarianism and the events leading to WWII would have never happened. That war was a colossal tragedy over one nation that provoked a war by issuing an ultimatum that no country would have accepted to a country whose radicals assassinated the heir to the other nation's throne. When that heir was down in a historical city of that people to celebrate a humiliating victory over such people. So both sides were in the wrong. That incident escalated tensions to the point where that minor regional conflict escalated, plunging the whole world into an unstoppable maelstrom of death and destruction. That war should be looked at more and more in history in the US, Britain, and Europe because it has a more substantial impact. Because that war created the Nazis, it empowered the Bolsheviks to take over Russia and implement a Communist regime, making the Blackshirts that took over Italy. That conflict set up the rest of the 20th century because of one Gavrilo Princip assassinating Austro-Hungarian Crown Prince Franz Ferdinand and his wife. Pretty remarkable how one average joe could do a drastic act and commit the world to war when a major war had not gripped Europe since Napoleon Bonaparte over a century prior.

@@walkerdaw6 May be for cinematography but another film called "Argentina, 1985" is more catnip to Oscar voting members. Its story about a couple of prosecutors attempting to bring to trial the heads of the military dictatorship in Argentina for their part in the atrocities committed across the country in the 1980s is deemed more Oscar-worthy. It had already won a slew of awards and also the Golden Globe which Oscars usually follow.

It was an unjust war and a petty squabble between Kings and statesmen. It is not a war that was just.

Yes, the romantization of war lately by edgy kids shows how little they actually know about what being in a war actually feels like

As long as the US military industrial complex runs foreign policy for profit, there will always be wars and proxy wars. forever. no meeting of minds can occur when ultimate hegemony is always sought by the current most powerful military complex.

It's not the ordinary people who create and wage war. It's the powerful people.

Unless it's the US citizens against a tyrannical US government.

You know, just a few glimps at real war gives more than enough realization that wars should be avoided.

Erich Maria Remarque is in a very special category when it comes to depicting the tragedy of human condition. Try reading "The Triumph Arc" and "Three Friends". The sense of dread is always palpable, even when there seem to be streaks of light on any given page. Watching the world tear itself apart now is so shocking as someone who was a child when we moved to the U.S. from former USSR. People will never learn.

That's why I feel like the trailer isn't capturing that at all, it somewhat epic, while this whole book was slow and gray tragedy. Maybe it's adaptation won't be that good at all

Read "The Forgotten Soldier" by Guy Sajer

@@Dostav I really hope the movie represents the physiological aspects of the book. Because to me one of the best parts was seeing how their entire worldview changes, and how it affects them mentally. As someone diagnosed with ptsd myself(not from anything near as horrible as this tho) it really hit home with the part where Paul goes on leave. It’s like after you’ve seen some shit you really can never see things the same again, like losing all innocence. The book is a slow, and for the most part monotonous and depressing ride, but that’s what made it such a great story, it didn’t sugercoat anything and didn’t pull any punches.

That's what we went through to create NATO. Think about it the next time you vote.

I read this in 10th grade and it forever changed my perspective on war. I knew it was bad and traumatizing before, of course, but I did not comprehend the depths of a soldier’s experience until I read this book. It remains one of the best books I read during high school.

Great, Ill pass. Enough to deal with now.

@@djdeep4 Not so sure about that one bud. This one definitely pulls no punches.

Both were brave, and honorable soldiers. Even if they were “the bad guys”

I remember visiting the Somme crater in France. Even though it’s covered by grass and flowers, it’s still sobering to think how much explosive power was behind something that could create a crater that deep, and the psychological trauma that soldiers had to go through, fearing that they might step on a mine just like that

May he rest peacefully. The somme was one hell of a battle, and the fact that he survived shows, in my opinion, how strong he was.

Helloo i did a critical review about All Quiet on the Western Front :)

The Brit’s suffered 20,000 dead in one day at the Somme. Americans suffered about 3,000 dead on D-Day

It has a similar feel to “come and see”.

YAYYYYY no liberal pc garbage. Woohoo!

WOW what a story. A movie must be made about it.

@@javasrevenge7121 The followup story is more tragic though. My great grandfather settled in the Netherlands and married in 1921, but basically being a war refugee meant that he had to start everything up from scratch. This also meant that he didn't have the money to neutralise his Nationality, something that would come back to haunt him when the Nazis would annex the Netherlands during WW2. During WW2 the Nazis came to his house and took his two oldest sons, because my great-grandfather was still technically of German nationality... He attempted to escape war, but war wasn't finished with him yet... His oldest son Friedrich (Freek in Dutch) died in France, mangled beyond recognition by a fighter plane's machine gun. His second oldest was send to the Eastern front and never came back when the war ended. My grandfather was 17 in 1945 and in the first stages of recruitment when the war ended, considering WW2 was in it's last stage, it's almost certain that he would have been send to the Battle of Berlin or something similar, meaning almost certain dead. The war ended just in time for my grandfather. My great-grandfather himself was too old for active service, however being a German in occupied Holland meant that he had privileges, one of them being that he was allowed to walk the streets during evening curfews, which he used to warn adresses with Jewish families in hiding. After the war that all didn't matter much though, there was a huge anti-German sentiment and he was German after all... so they robbed him of his tractor and farming equipment, leaving him to start back up from scratch yet again. My great-grandfather died in 1952 at the age of 60. The piece of shrapnel he took during WW1 was travelling through his body and punctured his organs. Around 1955 the second oldest son showed up at home, rags of cloth bound around his feet and almost unrecognizable. He was finally released from Soviet prison. He was an alcoholic for the remainder of his life.

@@Noahboy8 Holy smokes what a tragedy, thank god we've had peace the last 70 years, that is way too much for one person to go through

@@harrypot1781 Agree! We should all feel lucky peace is lasting this long for us.

@Aurelian "Stay and fight" for a hopeless cause. The western front was the most pointless front in human history. 5 million young men between 13 and 30 years old died for 200 meters/yards of terrain gain in only 4 years. That's like wiping out the entire population of a country like Denmark in just 4 years time. Is it bravery to fight in a battle where people's heads are smashed in like eggshells, burned to a crisp by flamethrowers and are just simply killed by the thousands on a daily basis? I believe bravery is to rise against adversity, to do something despite the odds and despite fear of repercussions in order to gain something greater, usually a greater good. When a war/battle gains absolutely utterly nothing other than an early grave, can we then speak of a greater good? When it renounces the whole concept of bravery, the only viable act of bravery left is saving your own soul in order to survive. Besides my great-grandfather already nearly died by shrapnel from a grenade/artillery shell and almost certainly already witnessed lots of his brothers perish. It's not like he fled on the first day he arrived there.

@@the98themperoroftheholybri33 yeah just like I wasn’t tricked into fighting in Iraq because they had “weapons of mass destruction”

@@the98themperoroftheholybri33 Thanks for your hot take. /s

Most people went to fight ww1 because they felt they needed too, for they’re country, and they wanted adventure. Obviously it wasn’t what they expected

Paronax does have a point.... a point that should be part of the movie and definitely was in the two previous ones. The old movies depict very well, how the combination of patriotism, propaganda, peer pressure and having no clue what the war was really like made the boys recruited right in the class-room volunteer to go into "glorious battle" only to find themselves stuck in a quagmire beyond their worst nightmares. The coloured one even had one of the soldiers returning for a brief vacation and calling out the recruiters to their faces, only for the young boys to call him a coward because they've been so indoctrinated and high on patriotism (I don't remember if the black-and-white had that scene too... it's been so long since I've seen that). Though naturally there was one group that was definitely not tricked into serving: Conscripts. And that's why I really don't like the direction this trailer is showing. It's all epic and spectacular, but that's not what the old movies were about (I haven't read the book, so I can't comment on that). Also the old ones were all about the soldiers in the trechnes from the persepctive of a specific boy, not the high command and officers.

@L’IMMORTEL The soldiers don't know, though.

I love how it shows the naivety turn to horror as they realize what they signed up for, genuinely such a good film.

I'm a history teacher - just curious, did your teacher have to show you an edited version? Did you have to sign permission slips or did they just show it? Glad you enjoyed - sounds like you have a great teacher!

@@davidr3359 We did indeed have to sign slips, and the teacher had to get permission from the district office, (she mentioned it to us) and other than that it was all we had to do

Lol bunch of betas

unfortunately the youth does not care everyone is on tik tok

The frame that said this at the end is what really got me

I thought it was more around 40 million people that lost their lives in WW1? And WW2 I think is around 70 million.

@@AFGsultanZ how many do you think this WW3 will have?

@Leymonzzz thank you for correcting me.

@@xXEYSPENXx oh God knows, I’m not even sure myself. If that was to happen, you can expect it to be at least 90M. Well I think that’d be the case. But I have no idea what that may look like exactly. Just hope that won’t happen at all.

I also experienced it. I was in tears at the end of the movie and couldn't talk for all the evening. It was truly a hard movie to watch but necessary to understand how pointless and cruel the war is.

Too many ppl nowadays glorified nationalism and patriotic rhetorics. It's like they don't fear war.

It is not a new movie or story.

who asked

@@TylerTheCretor For you to be an asshole? Not sure to be honest.

Totally agree. Phenomenal movie. Watched it as a kid and wept a river at the end.

The made-for-TV one was on point too. Have seen them both, both are amazing.

Don't bother people, it's sh*t.

@@Jake-vh6jp no, it is not

I'm afraid the message from 1930 will get drowned in action-scenes in this one. The trailer reeks like it.

Nice are you speaking to us from the future?

@@kevinoconnell2297 actually this is a remake of a 1930 movie same name.... It was good

@@kevinoconnell2297 "In select theaters October and in Netflix October 28th" it's October. He definitely watched in a theater.

Movie's not out yet mate

@@johnny_tapia imagine commenting before reading others replies

Wir müssen immer bereit für Krieg sein

Too bad those who decide about wars are not the ones fighting in it

Die Filme werden wahrscheinlich fantastisch, ich mochte das Buch lesen, um ehrlich zu sein

@Claire Wolf - "I have read the book. That was painful enough. But I am glad that the work is being reworked and made known to all people who prefer to watch films. It's really important that we don't forget what war really means." For sure.

There’s a difference between a War with swords and Shields, and a War with Weapon Arsenal. The different experiences. One is just more destructive than the other. That’s all it is, giving the Warrior a harsher experience.
