German writer Erich Mariaremarque’s 1920s novel All Quiet On The Western Front is a famous “war is hell” story ever written (it was notoriously burnt and banned by Nazi Germany), and Hollywood took the opportunity to create a massive, epic film in 1930. It won a number of Academy Awards and is still considered to be one of the greatest films ever produced. Today, Netflix is preparing to make a fresh adaptation of the book, directed by Edward Berger and starring Daniel Bruhl (taking an off from his role as the role of a German man in American films to be a German man in an actual German film) You can check out the trailer below:
Berger seems to be in any way avoiding the scale and the horror of the tale (or the magnitude of the terror) and includes wide-screen shots of trenches-filled battlefields as well as images of sad soldiers with visages covered in dirt as well as the high-ups dressed in fancy offices and their elegant uniforms. It’s a bit anti-war Sure but it’s an appropriate story for this film. Sometimes, you don’t have to be any smarter as “war has a negative impact, take a look at all the ways it’s harmful.”
All Quiet On The Western Front is the first German film adaptation of the novel and will be the nation’s entry to be considered for Best International Feature Film at the Academy Awards next year. (Which is a smart play considering that the American adaptation of the novel won Oscars as well. The Academy likes to celebrate Hollywood historical events, even though, it’s likely to be up against fierce competitors.) It’s all Quiet on the Western Front will be available on Netflix on the 28th of October.
