At the start of World War I, Paul Baumer is a young German patriot, eager to fight. Indoctrinated with propaganda at school, he and his friends eagerly sign up for the army soon after graduation. But when the horrors of war soon become too much to bear, and as his friends die or become gravely wounded, Paul questions the sanity of fighting over a few hundreds yards of war-torn countryside.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A devastating chronicle of idealism shattered by the grinding, senseless brutality of trench warfare. This is a film that strips away all romanticism from war, leaving only grief and the slow destruction of the human spirit.
