All Quiet on the Western Front
This video clip is the trailer for All Quiet on the Western Front, a movie adapted from the book, All Quiet from the Western Front, by Erich Remarque. In this video, the beginning shows the romantic vision and the excitement of the schoolboys as they imagine the superficial vision of war that is being portrayed to them by their biased school teacher.
Later on in the clip, we see the actual reality of war. The characters are presented with horribly graphic scenes of violence and gut wrenching horror. They are shown people being killed off so easily, and they are slowly being turned into horrible killing machines. This video clip is included in our website as it is a good indicator of the contrast between the romantic vision and the stark reality.
