Im Westen nichts Neues (2022)
Not so quiet on the Western Front
This movie is absolute rubbish! It has got nothing to do with the source material and even fails as a casual WWI action movie. Everything thats happening is boring with no comparison to the depth of the original 1930s version. For example the scene where our "hero" stabs the french guy and is suppposed to spend the night with him, watching him die and undergoing some kind of catharsis, is handled within a few minutes before Bäumer takes a relaxed walk back to his trench upright and during daytime! The fight scenes in general are a complete mess. People are wandering around the battlefield with no clue, throwing grenades at their comrades. The french artillery is firing just for fun, tanks advance without infantry, and the line-up of flamethrowers was just hilarious. Germans are storming a trench and litteraly catch the french soldiers off guard in the kitchen? Yeah, righ! Didn't anyone of the people in charge watch a documentary about WWI beforhand?? Oh, lets just leave out the whole basic training scenes and corporal Himmelstoß, because why would the audience care about any of the characters or their motivation? Why bother sending the main character on vacation to show how the war is seen by people back in Germany and the issues Bäumer has with their opinions like in the 1930s version? Hey, why not get Kat killed by a supersonic 10 year old after walking half a mile only to take a piss! And don't get me started on the music or the dialogues! Finally, the whole negotiation part with Daniel Brühl (what a waste, he's such a good actor!) makes the title of the movie completely pointless. There is A LOT of stuff happening on the western front. Like, Germany has lost the war, Elsaß and Lothringen are now french, Saarland is occupied, and the whole front obviously stops existing after a peace treaty. Anyway, that's all I've got for today...
