STORYLINE
This German war film, a critical and commercial hit, has garnered an impressive 55 awards, including 4 Oscars. It vividly portrays the grueling experiences and sufferings of a young German soldier on the Western Front during World War I.
The film centers around Paul Bäumer (played by Felix Kammerer) and his friends Albert (Aaron Hilmer) and Müller (Moritz Klaus). In the spring of 1917, filled with youthful enthusiasm, they voluntarily help the Imperial German Army, only to be stationed in Northern France.
However, the reality of being soldiers is far from what they had imagined. The young men are thrust into relentless combat, driven not by their own motivations but by the higher-ups' relentless pursuit to end the war against the German invasion. How will Paul and his friends cope with the relentless conflicts and challenges of war?
