Looks insanely good. I hope the movie is as good.
shareIt is very good.
And very sad. *snivel*
What happened to Czechers21?!
Just wanted to tell her something in her OP at "Wednesday" (2022).
And now Czechers21 is gone.
All the deleted posts in this thread had been hers also.
"In the West nothing New" ☻
That's the title of this movie and the book it's based on...literally.
I'm sad. 😢
No it does not. The trench is in front of the barbed wire, no barbed wire in front of the trench. Why? If you are going to show something that purports to be real life, at least show it in a believable way. Even if it is fiction.

Never mind that dude as he thinks WWI is fiction.
shareBush, WWI was not fiction. It really happened.
On the other hand, All Is Quiet in the Western Front is a novel. Novels are fiction. A figment of someone's imagination. What someone thinks happened during that period of life.
Dude, stop being stupid. Erich Maria Remarque Is a ww1 veteran, he fucking lived through that shit. The novel is based on his experience, on real life true events, not on “what someone thinks happened during that period”

Dude, don't you think I know that he is a veteran? You are so dense it comes out of your pores. All Quiet is still a novel. It is not historical. It is fiction.
DOES. NOT. MATTER. THAT. HE. IS. A. VETERAN.
You are still a douchebag, a moron, or a jackass. Which one is you?!!!
Idiot, let me quote your stupid ignorant words:
" What someone thinks happened during that period of life." IF you KNEW he was a WW1 veteran you wouldn't have said such idiotic words. HE HAD DIRECT EXPERIENCE, he is NOT someone that "thinks happened", HE KNOWS what happened, the novel is written based on true events, ON HIS experience.
Get it???
IT DOES MATTER THAT HE IS A VETERAN because he is writing about events that has happened, about his experience.
FFS.
MORON!
It does matter. Experience? So what? It is still colored. Biased. To what he thinks should have, or not have, happened.
Not everyone die in a war. A lot do. But a lot of them survive.
A soldier with experience reaching out for a butterfly? In the front? NOT believable. Or is there a death wish?
You are an idiot. First you said "someone that thinks what happened".
It's colored, Biased? Sure, BUT HE KNOWS WHAT HEPPENED THERE YOU MORON!!! HE WAS THERE!!!!
" To what he thinks should have, or not have, happened." again. HE WAS THERE, HE EXPERIENCED THOSE THINGS.
"A soldier with experience reaching out for a butterfly? In the front? NOT believable."
Yes idiot, believable. But a moment like that, if if you don't believe can happen, it's made to convey a message and DOESN'T invalidate the guy experience as a veteran you moron.
"Not believable" : https://www.iwm.org.uk/history/the-real-story-of-the-christmas-truce
Your mama was on every soldier's bayonet.
Back at you, bitch! "...moment like that... it's made to convey a message and DOESN'T invalidate the guy experience..." In MY opinion it does invalidate it. Anyway these are my feelings, and you should respect my feelings as I post them here. You are a bully, continue posting this way, and I will see you in jail or trampled. You sound bitter, asshole. How many marriages have you failed at? So I laugh at you, chicken-shit piece of garbage.
Your link proves my point. A soldier reaches for the butterfly, is shot.
From your link, "After 1914, the High Commands on both sides tried to prevent any truces on a similar scale happening again. Despite this, there were some isolated incidents of soldiers holding brief truces later in the war, and not only at Christmas."
"Being shot" is not holding a truce. Getting shot does not happen during "a brief truce."
Sorry to interrupt your quarrel (well, not really sorry ☺).
A 'butterfly' mistake saved our father's life.
His best friend got a head shot by a Russian sniper. Mistakenly our father jumped up in a shock and got a shot in his leg where his head was before.
Ok ok, that was WWII but felt the urge to tell that detail.
Now go ahead, please.
"Anyway these are my feelings, and you should respect my feelings "
I don't care about your feelings if they are inaccurate, snowflake. Facts/reason don't care either.
No, I don't respect feelings that are not anchored in reality and/or reason. Those are not "feelings" those are "fantasy".
have you heard of Blake? The guy shot by the cops? He shouldn't have resisted arrest. He shouldn't have grabbed the knife, etc etc. But it happened and he got shot. People DO stupid thing. Sometime they do get shot sometime they don't.
For the soldier to be shot it needs to have the enemy actively scanning his position and ready to shut. It's not impossible for the guy to do a stupid act and for the enemy to miss that act.
And was that battle at the end of the war or at in the start? Was he experienced and rough or was it his first battle?
To quote from the website you posted:
During World War I, barbed wire was used for both defensive purposes and as a trapping mechanism. Soldiers would defend their trenches with barbed wire by installing the barbed wire a distance away on the ground from the tops of their trenches. When used as a trap, artillery and gun fire were sometimes used specifically to direct enemy soldiers into already constructed barbed wire snares.
The trailer shows the following, which I will diagram:
ENEMY ENEMY ENEMY ENEMY ENEMY ENEMY ENEMY
- - - - - - - - - German trench line - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - German trench line - - -
x x x x x x x x German Barbed wire x x x x x x x x x German Barbed wire x x x x x x
In this diagram you are not trapping nor are you funneling the enemy to anywhere. The only soldiers trapped here are the German soldiers who should not be so trapped. The only way that barbed wire can trap or funnel the enemy is as follows, which was not depicted in the trailer. By the way, trenches were more complicated than that, as there were also communications trenches used to reach the font trenches.
ENEMY ENEMY ENEMY ENEMY ENEMY ENEMY ENEMY

Unable to depict the third sketch as this site does not let me show lines based on characters. But go to this website, https://www.pinterest.com/pin/857021004066065948/ to see the real location of the barbed wire.

Because of his name thought mistakenly for a longer Remarque is a French.
Another interesting novel about WWI by a German you may already know:
Storm of Steel "In Stahlgewittern" by Ernst Jünger.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_of_Steel
I remember watching a movie where during the night missions to attack the enemy or infiltrate, they would cut a small section of the barbed wires to slip through.

Someone else noted the same mistake I did.
And instead of reacting like ninnies, in an emotional manner posts a possible explanation.
Doubt this to be the case. Supplies must reach the front trenches. Between the front trenches and back lines there were more trenches running parallel to the front trench, and to connect these were communication trenches. If you put rear barbed wires, how are you going to get food, ammo, water, and reinforcements to the troops in the frontal trench?
Think this to be a mistake of the production staff.
I liked it. Although the score was terrible.
