Review of All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) by Compaysegundo — 10 Mar 2023
AQOTWF from 2022 is a very different approach then previous movies, and this is good. It is a slow and quiet movie. You will not see much "action". The movie has no hero. You see the war from the very bottom of the common soldier starting on 1917 when the war was for a long time not "heroic" anymore.
It was dying senselessly in the trenches in a meanwhile lost war. Who has seen other german war movies like "The Boot" or "Stalingrad" knows that german war movies are not heroic. They show the war how it is.
The movie is good but I give -3 points for a too overdramatic staging, a bit soulless characters and an enerving music theme. A bit less drama and bit more character play please.
