DVD Review: A Good Remake of a Classic
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a well made copy of a classic war movie. The acting is better than the original and true to the original.

DVD Review: re-make of 1930 original was OK but not as good
Summary: 3 Stars

Original 1930 version was truer to the novel in terms of impact and intent by the author. The movie was good but appeared tailored to the 1970's viewing audience.

DVD Review: All Quiet on the Wetern Front
Summary: 5 Stars

A film adaptation of the book. I have not used this yet with my English 12 classes. I have heard that it is very dark.

Description of All Quiet on the Western Front

A devastating story of war and a generation destroyed. In 1914 a group of German schoolboys idealistic and inflamed with youthful patriotism set off to fight in the "glorious" war. During their brutal basic training disenchantment begins; then boarding a train for the front they see the wounded being rushed back to hospitals. They begin to grasp the grim reality of war.On their first night in action they come under heavy attack. In the trenches they begin to fall. Their youth is stripped away by the violence and the boys become as sullen as veterans.When Paul (Richard Thomas) shoots a Frenchman and watches him die he realizes the futility of the war. Wounded he returns home to a different world a place where he cannot fit in. Sent back into battle he meets destiny on a day when the German High Command Communiqu states simply All Quiet On The Western Front.System Requirements: Running Time 131 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating:?R UPC:?017153124484 Manufacturer No:?12448
Taken from the novel by Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet on the Western Front is a devastating portrait by Delbert Mann (Desire Under the Elms, Marty) of a small group of German soldiers throughout the World War?I.

The star-studded cast is headed by Richard Thomas (The Waltons) as Paul Baumer, and includes such award-winning actors as Ernest Borgnine, Ian Holm, and Patricia Neal. As both narrator and star, Thomas occasionally seems to reincarnate his familiar John-Boy persona, but creates a character that has many more levels than that television alter ego. Watching Paul as he watches all of his high school buddies die is a highly emotional experience. He returns to his home a different person, conflicted in his feelings about the Army and war, evolving from an idealistic schoolboy to a fearful and humble veteran.

The scenery and costuming in this period piece are well done, and surely contributed to its winning the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture Made for TV. Also contributing to the greatness of the film are the exceptional cinematography and special effects that, while realistically gruesome, truly emphasize the horrors of war. --Zachary Lively
