As we all know, all quiet on the western front is an excellent war movie. Why is it excellent? The reason is that it shows the tragic war, which makes the audience shocked to some extent. At the same time, the audience will have a clear understanding of the war, which will make the audience’s anti-war sentiment high, even for a long time. If propaganda and anti-war are the core, every adaptation is successful, and even this film, as the adaptation of the 2022 edition, must be as close as the previous ones.
However, some people think that this film does not show the soul core of the original, and the details need to be improved. When a lot of discussions are mixed with this film, it shows that all quiet on the western front is indeed an excellent work. Excellent movies deserve to be known to a wide audience. Because the core of similar works is always anti-war, and anti-war is a conventional war theme core in film sessions. Whether this core is good or not determines the direction of a film, especially a war film. Even if it is not a war film, even if it has only experienced the war years, the voice of anti-war is still the highest.
But let’s look at it from another angle. When war movies show anti-war, they want to tell the audience how fierce the war is. The fierce war has destroyed human nature, and everyone involved in the war has his own distorted soul. You can improve your understanding of war and your aversion to war by watching anti-war movies. But the question is, are the audience the core of the war?
Many creators have seen the dangers of war, but they never talk about those who create harm. It is one way to broadcast the tragic war and the necessity of anti-war to the broad masses of the people, but the question is, are the broad masses of the people the initiators of the war? Can the broad masses of the people decide the direction of the war? At best, the broad masses of the people are only participants in the war, and they passively bear the war. Therefore, when the war strikes, neither soldiers nor people should be the main body of this anti-war sentiment. Who is the real theme? Those who started the war, of course.
But is there an anti-war movie for them? It can’t be said absolutely, maybe, but more movies are for the victims of the war, and no initiator of the war has been bombarded by these anti-war movies. It’s like a person who is sick and no one gives him medicine, but instead, he gives medicine to a group of people who are not sick. You’re sick. Why do you keep making me take medicine? In this way, people who were sick gradually became terminally ill, but those who were not sick were forced to suffer from a war disease. When they face war again in the future, they must denounce the harm of war and jointly oppose it. However, is this useful?
No matter whether it is World War I or World War II, which initiator of the war considered the interests of the people? No, if the war can be well prevented only by the people’s anti-war couples, then the world should be beautiful and there should be no conflicts. But is this the reality? Obviously, no, when the initiator of a war launches a war, he always considers his own interests, except the interests of the people. The ordinary people are just the inheritors of the war. When the initiator of the war launches a war, the inheritors of the war have no right to object. When the initiator of the war ends the war, the undertaker of the war has the right to enjoy the joy of the end of the war and bear the decline brought by the war. Can the creators think of these?
I believe that no one who makes movies is a stupid person, but why don’t they go deep into why the initiators of the war started the war, the war? Why not let the initiator of the war see the tragedy of this vast land? Why should the victims of the war have to reflect on the tragic war every once in a while, and also constantly reflect on why they distort human nature in the war? Isn’t this putting the cart before the horse?
Of course, the creators naturally won’t let the initiators of the war see these films, because the initiators of the war have always been crazy and basically won’t stop their actions because of one or two films that show the tragic war. They also don’t have much nostalgia and reflection on such movies. Even if thousands of people die, it is just a number for them. It is precisely because they refuse to reflect, so the victims of the war must reflect again and again, and reflect again and again until they see a war movie and ask for reflection on their own initiative. Is this the purpose of the creator? If so, how despicable.
It is a normal logic to let sick people take medicine and normal people refuse poison. However, in the eyes of creators, such logic does not exist. After putting the cart before the horse, it seems that ordinary people can see the core content they want to express, but they ignore or forget that the people they should face are not ordinary people. So when we talk about anti-war movies, what are we talking about?
None of the initiators of those high-flying wars stood up and reflected on why they had started the war, and no one felt guilty and couldn’t sleep because of watching a film. On the contrary, the victims of the war are already suffering, and they have to be repeatedly sprinkled with salt by some despicable creators, which is called "reflection on the war" and reflection on the war? Reflection * * *.
