"Have you ever thought of telling Mr. Barnes how you feel instead of antagonizing him, sir?"
"I have no idea what you mean, Oeznik."

All Quiet on the Western Front (2022), directed by Edward Berger, follows Paul Bäumer, an 18 year-old German boy who volunteers to fight in WW1, fueled by discourses of patriotism and promises of a heroic status. Only when he's pushed to the front lines of the battlefield and faces the real horrors of war, he realizes there's nothing honorable about dying for his country.
It's very easy for war films to take sides or fall into a romanticization of the subject. All Quiet on the Western Front manages to avoid those clichès and brings together what is probably the best anti-war film ever made. Beautifully shot, with a haunting soundtrack and superb performances that glue together a message so powerful and more relevant than ever.
"Honor? My son was killed in the war. He doesn't feel any honor."

Look it’s late and I just have to say this. The fact I live in a time where Daniel Bruhl exists and there have been two new versions of Little Women filmed in the last decade and neither of them cast him as Professor Bhaer is just proof there’s something deeply wrong with the world.
(Robbed. We were robbed I say!)
