Synopsis: This is an English language film (made in America) adapted from a novel by German author Erich Maria Remarque. The film follows a group of German schoolboys, talked into enlisting at the beginning of World War 1 by their jingoistic teacher. The story is told entirely through the experiences of the young German recruits and highlights the tragedy of war through the eyes of individuals. As the boys witness death and mutilation all around them, any preconceptions about "the enemy" and the "rights and wrongs" of the conflict disappear, leaving them angry and bewildered. This is highlighted in the scene where Paul mortally wounds a French soldier and then weeps bitterly as he fights to save his life while trapped in a shell crater with the body. The film is not about heroism but about drudgery and futility and the gulf between the concept of war and the actuality.

西线无战事
编辑推荐: 被称为“影史上最伟大的反战电影”，获奥斯卡最佳影片、最佳导演奖。本片以卓越的摄影技巧，写实的风格，把战火阵地、冲锋、肉博，以及残酷恐怖的野蛮凶杀等镜头，拍得十分逼真，惊心动魂。影片最后一幕堪称影史上经典一笔：守候在战壕里的保尔，发现一只美丽的蝴蝶，当他爬出战壕捕捉蝴蝶时，突然一声枪响，保尔被法国兵的流弹击中而倒下。但是，在这天德军前线司令部的战报上，还清楚地写着“ 西线无战事”。
