This movie based of some of the real Robert Shawn's writings, gives a realistic view of what Shawn and the members infantry went through as they became members of the army and until the battle of fort Wagner. Through the movie for example were are able to see Shawn's struggle to learn to deal with his infantry, to start empathizing with them and overcoming the gap that existed between them to be able to help them to
“There is a convoy of government soldiers coming our way.” Lizard snapped his cellphone shut and rammed it in his pocket. The phone was a badge of authority, proof that he was in command. “Who will volunteer to fight?” Once again, hands shot up.
Many people sacrificed their lives in the war. People like the characters in “Glory”. The movie “Glory” is based on the true story of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw. The movie was made by the letters he would send back home. Though most of the characters are fictional, they all have a unique story to tell.
Also it showed how war can make a man go crazy, like when Detering saw the cherry tree and thought of home and ran away. All Quiet on The Western Front also showed me how soldiers morale can go from being good, to being awful. Like when the German Emperor came to the front line, the men where sad when they found out he was little and with a weak voice. World War 1 could also be part of reason for the spanish flu, which many think is because of the artillery shells digging up so much dirt.
It also shows the effect the war has on soldiers. In one scene you see people ask a wounded man if they can take his boots, showing how important the little things are for these soldier. There is another scene while they are all inside the bunker, there are some new recruits and they pan the camera to show a boy who is covering
It shows the grief, friendship, and more parts of the war. In the book, All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Remarques,
The Effects of War Throughout history there has been an immense amount of wars. Since World War One which was from 1914-1918 there has been 260 significant wars; one of those wars was World War 2. To be the country we are today it takes many daily sacrifices. In Slaughterhouse Five the main character Billy Pilgrim, is affected mentally, physically, and emotionally from being in war. Being in a war especially World War 2 you see many people die, they can be your friends, family, acquaintances, or even a stranger.
Present throughout the book is the theme of disillusionment. In the school, they’ve been told by their schoolmasters and parents that unless they join the war, they would remain cowards. They see propaganda after propaganda, all alluding towards the glory of battle and warfare. Out on the front, they realize that nothing was further from the truth. Their dreams of being heroes shattered, like when they compare themselves to the soldier on a poster in chapter 7.
War creates tremendous amount of trauma and destruction to the human race from explosions to mass massacres. At the front-line a soldier is a brave man who sacrifices his life to fight for the freedom of his country and if he is not killed by the war he is scared by the psychological effects of war that will live on for the rest of his life. Within the novel All Quiet on the Western Front and film Born on the 4th of July the author Erich Maria Remarque and director Oliver Stone both set a strong example and express the true gruesome and terror of war. In the novel All Quiet on the Western Front and film Born on the Fourth of July, Paul Baumer and Ron Kovic are characters that both share similarities and differences through their experiences
The movie is about the teenager named Archie Hamilton, he wanted to do something in his life. Archie thought to fight in the war would make differences, he didn’t know what the war would be like. Australia wasn’t even a big party in the war, they were just helping their alliance. When Archie went to war he saw men dying in a blink of an eye.
What Culture magazine said days after Shia LaBeouf received the part in the WWII movie Fury he began his preparations. His first step to transforming into his character was high doses of LSD. LSD is one of the most dangerous mood changing chemicals. LaBeouf was then baptized, and became a chaplain assistant in the 41st infantry. After spending a month on base he then met up with the cast on site.
All Quiet on the Western Front tells the story of Paul Baumer, a German young man who is drafted into the army with some of his high school friends. Unfortunately, he and his friends have unrealistic ideas about what they are going to face while serving. The movie shows the tragedy of war through the emotional connection characters have, and focuses on the experiences had by the newly enlisted group of friends. I both enjoyed and did not enjoy the movie All Quiet on the Western Front. The parts that I enjoyed included the detail and historical accuracy which could be lined up with the information we have been learning in class.

In the end, Private Ryan is spared, in the midst of death of his dear friends. Spielberg portrays Saving Private Ryan in a way that intensifies World War II and leaves no room for fantasy. One way Spielberg portrays intensifies World War II is by production. A couple minutes into the film, there is intense footage of D-Day that feels realistic. When bullets and bombs come towards the soldiers, they are personal to the viewer as well because they seem close.
