Wooooooow, what a movie!

It's so weird because you kinda know what you're in for when you start this, but then again you also have no idea what a ride it's going to be. I honestly thought this was a really amazing movie.

Haven't seen this one yet, but been meaning to sit down with it. Now I have a really good reason. I think this will be the fourth film you have posted that I had not seen before but had wanted to. I have enjoyed all of them so far, so thanks.

Interested to see it. I'm reading that this is actually the third film adaptation of the book by Erich Maria Remarque. The first one was released in 1930 and is widely considered one of the greatest films of all time, so they've got some large shoes to fill.

Oof, such a difficult movie to process. I'll be thinking about it for a long while. I read the book in school over 25 years ago. The medium of cinema with this direction, silence, music, cinematography, and great acting has, for me, reinforced the power of the what is going on. I don't think when I read the book originally i could even comprehend what was going on to the point of the impact. Now, years later, on the verge of retiring from the military, i get it. It hurts. Thanks Mary! You're a trooper for watching this movie and I am grateful you shared your reaction on your channel.

Perfect timing, saw Critical Drinkers recommendation for this and so i wanted to watch it the next days and now i have the perfect excuse to watch it right now. Thanks Mary

Saw the 1979 version of this when I was a kid and it made a big impression on me. Years later I read the novel and saw the 1930 film, both of which were excellent. Looking forward to watching this adaptation with you.

Remembrance Day is really big here in Canada but it is slowly losing it's importance. I don't believe people from the USA commemorate Remembrance Day. Another good movie that takes place during WW I is '1917'. The hole movie was filmed in such a way to make it look like one long scene along with being really good.

Don Mayhem

Never heard of this movie. I didn't even get a notification that you posted a new video.

Here in the States, we called it Veterans Day. It's the same day as Remembrance Day, Nov. 11th. It honors those who fought in the wars, the same way. 🇺🇸 🇨🇦

I thought it was excellent. There's a similar, also excellent film from the French perspective called A Very Long Engagement. I highly recommend it.

Mary, I get the feeling you're avoiding Breaking Bad because you don't want to watch Hank die from the murder twins, which is totally understandable. But you should really finish the show! :D :D :D Edit: PHEW it's out! I'm sorry I doubted you!!

That ending was very unsatisfactory. I not saying every movie has to have a happy ending. And I’m usually Ok with main characters dying at the end of a movie. But the totally unnecessary deaths of Kat and Paul just left me feeling angry.
