Quotes:

[He's been concealing a gun]::Leer: You know, some day, somebody is gonna invent a comfortable gun.

Chauffeur: Listen, man... if you want to try anything freaky, you don't do it with her.

Chauffeur: [to Leer] I don't want you to hurt the girl; I don't want you to touch her. If I come back and I find out that she's not all right, I'm gonna take that burp gun and I'm gonna jam it up your nose... and I'm gonna pull the trigger 'til it doesn't work any more.

Plot: 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.

Quotes:

Paul Bäumer: You still think it's beautiful to die for your country. The first bombardment taught us better. When it comes to dying for country, it's better not to die at all.

Katczinsky: I'll tell you how it should all be done. [spits] Whenever there's a big war comin' on, you should rope off a big field...::Cigar-smoking soldier: And sell tickets.::Katczinsky: Yeah. And - [glares at interrupter] And on the big day, you should take all the kings and their cabinets and their generals, put 'em in the center dressed in their underpants, and let 'em fight it out with clubs. The best country wins. [everybody murmurs in agreement]::Paul Bäumer: Well, now that Kat's settled everything, let's go see Kemmerick.

Paul Bäumer: We live in the trenches out there. We fight. We try not to be killed, but sometimes we are. That's all.

[last lines]::Second orderly: Your deal. Get his name and number?::Medic Orderly: Yeah. Corporal Stanislaus Katczinsky, 306.

[first title card]::Title card: This story is neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it. It will try simply to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped its shells, were destroyed by the war...

[first lines]::Man cleaning doorknob: Thirty thousand.::Maid: From the Russians?::Man cleaning doorknob: No, from the French. From the Russians we capture more than that every day.

Tjaden: Me and the Kaiser, we are both fighting. The only difference is the Kaiser isn't here!

Paul Bäumer: And our bodies are earth. And our thoughts are clay. And we sleep and eat with death.

Paul Bäumer: War isn't the way it looks back here.

Schoolmaster: [to his students] You are the life of the Fatherland! You are the iron men of Germany!
