Yesterday I watched this movie "All Quiet on the Western Front" It's a heart wrenching movie. You cannot hold back your tears while watching this movie. Wars have never been an agenda of the common man. It has always been an agenda of the power-hungry few Lunatics who think they own the world and can treat humans like shit. Millions of soldiers died in this war and there was nothing gained from it, except for complete disaster, countless broken and shattered families and lifelong ailing traumatically and physically ailing soldiers who survived. The War would end physically but the War in their mind would never end after all that they must have witnessed during the War.
Power hungry people are blind and blood thirsty, they can go to any extent to keep their ego. The main character of this Movie Paul who is just a 17-year boy is so excited to go for this War, because he is made to believe that it is the most heroic thing to do. Paul and his comrades are all a bunch of young blood with so much enthusiasm to go for this War without knowing what lies ahead of them. And when they go there, they face the reality which is brutal and frightening. Their illusions of heroism gets shattered by the reality of the trench warfare. They see each other dying painfully.
Those who must have survived in these Wars must have been really lucky. But come may what every life was put through trauma in some or the other way in both World War 1 and 2. Sometimes I feel that the leaders of the olden times were more lunatics than the one that are there now. They were all blood thirsty, wanting to kill each other and gain control. If we look at history even 1000s years back, Wars existed then also. It has passed on and will keep going on. We humans will never be satisfied with what we have, we will always want to snatch what is not ours and make life miserable for everyone around us. Competition of Power and Politics is destroying the World.
The movie is heart touching, it captures how Civilians are manipulated and send to these wars, then the chaos, fear, the loneliness and the desperation everything comes out brilliantly in the movie. I cannot even imagine what these soldiers actually go through in these Wars and also their families who cannot do anything much but keep waiting for them and for some it becomes an endless waiting. Some of the scenes I could not even see, I had to fast forward it, as they were too gruesome. Millions of innocent people lost their lives in these Wars, it gives me shivers to even think about it. If they would come back home also, it would take them years to recover from the trauma. For those dead, how would their Souls even find peace on the other side after all of this.
Hats off the all those Soldiers and a big respect for them to put their life at stake in the name of Country which actually is in the name of Power which come from few Lunatic monsters to satisfy their own ego, pride and greed. A very good watch and one must see some brutal reality of these war zones.

War is really terrible because it brings chaos and death. War should not exist, it is very heartbreaking to see so much death by powerful men who just want to test their weapons
