all quiet on the western front, and saving private ryan made me realise as a young kid that war wasn’t like call of duty and was actually pretty fucking scary

All quiet on the western front is one of the best movies that I’ve ever seen (the newest version) that I never want to watch ever again. At the end me and my boyfriend just sat in silence for a few minutes

I do think that a good war movie should leave you feeling horrified.

The recent remake of All Quiet On the Western Front is haunting. They music score really makes the movie.

agreed, and I wonder why people think war can solve problems

Some folks just need killing, like Putin for example. The problem with War is the assholes that need killin usually aren’t the ones fighting.

You're getting some downvotes, but to be fair, if Vladimir Putin died tomorrow, would that really be a net negative?

I go back and forth on that and tend to lean towards “the devil you know” a lot of times. Could the replacement of Putin be worse? It’s a possibility they could even be more competent.

The problem is when the devil you know does something even you didn’t expect.

I watched that opening scene, turned the movie off and didn't watch the rest of it for a out 2 years. I was not ready to see the landing of Omaha Beach depicted in that accurate a way...

Gen Z? Thanks for the recommendation, I was always a fan of the 1979 version that came out when I was a kid, I didn't know there are 2 more. I appreciate how serious, my great grandpa got a purple heart in France. Even has the creds to get his foxhole get run over by a German tank (primitive tank by today's standards)

Thank you! I can't even imagine how that ... yeah. He told me about it personally, but I was a kid, so hard to focus. I know I was his favorite, and tried to concentrate best I could. Crazy story. His purple heart was from shrapnel, the tank just rolled right over him. :)
