mister e to this day in what lies behind the cut and 45 minutes, i told you. ah, what secrets lie behind these walls? discover new adventures in 360 degrees. and explore fascinating world heritage sites. d w world heritage 360. get the app now you ah, we tried to make a film about our past about all responsibility in germany, to what's our history the terror of that the 2 wars have cost in the world. and then suddenly it became also by the time we had finished the film about our present the anti warfare all quiet on the western front about world war one was awarded for

oscars. perhaps also as a nod to the ongoing war in ukraine. i woke up like fi, i am in the morning from some anxiety and i heard exposures on the right of me. so i understood that the war has thought it. how to artists and culture survived. war . her best international film, best original score, best cinematography and best production design. more oscars than any german production has ever won an adaptation of a famous german novel. the film reflects on the pointlessness afford oh, i love it and i have

a lot of bad yeah. yeah. it's not a new story. in fact, the netflix film for director edward baccha is the 3rd version of all quiet on the western front. following to american takes a 1979 t v movie from director dilbert, mann, and the 1930 classic by louis milestone. all take inspiration from the german novel, all quiet on the western front or investing leash noise by elisha maria remark published nearly a century ago. the books message on the senselessness of war has sadly lost none of its relevance to them as it gets ruined. greg is that when he form i was what he gave mister front and flung numbers by one of the books opening scenes shows young students being fired up by their jingle mystic professor who indoctrinate them with propaganda. pushing them to sign

up for the front of the sucrose starts once league and in hensler gorski engine. and i to my love why? oh, come gone. why i think it feels like a universal message about young kids being manipulated by demagogues and populous and hate speech. to sort of go with, you know, enthusiasm and in a sense and, and, and that full of youth to, to the front end to see that youth and that innocence, being mangled up and being torn apart, being killed by, and their souls being killed. i think it's just sort of this is for a very emotional universal topic. the ongoing war in ukraine gives all quiet on the

western front, the book, and the films. a new poignancy is quite strange when you, when you finish shooting a film and just a one and a half years later you see are pictures on the news that looked like the place where you're just coming from. at the same time, you feel very, very ah, ah con confirmed in what you did. because suddenly you realize we have to see this. we have to deal with this topic with war over and over again because it keeps returning i arish maria remark served in the trenches of world war one. he only saw 6 months of

combat but was wounded 5 times. recovering in a military hospital, he began writing about his experiences, adding stories from fellow soldiers, an invalid. the result was all quiet on the western front. looked at sir to go to book tells the story of young how boy and a 17 year old who gets drafted over all the enthusiastically and listens to go to war, just like how schoolmates listen to the awesome for war with what made world war one say particular, how many young men 7 sees yesterday, one wall crickets on war memoirs were nothing new but remarks book was different. he been a reporter instead of romanticize in battle. he described the violence and death in the trenches with an almost clinical precision. it is in the written in a very matter of fact reserve times. there are a few passages, the terrific sentimental. what made it unique was this restrained, didn't dramatize anything, just described the horror of war from the perspective of

a simple soldier. the book was an instance, success translate into more than 26 languages. it gave silent traumatized veterans a voice man with a shout. when you have to remember, no one at the time was talking about the wall that the soldiers who came back didn't talk about. and couldn't talk about it. i have someone who gave them a voice for you. and for those you, once in the war, it was a rat, fast time to count. almost 100. all quiet on the western front sold more than 2000000 copies in its 1st 18 months in print. hollywood soon king calling louis milestone adopted the book for the screen, trying to emulate the brutal authenticity of remarks words in moving pictures. he the result was one of the 1st and most powerful depictions of war on spring. i

wrote, i wrote miss mason all quiet on the western front, was, of course, a groundbreaking work horse and a man this article expense all. it shows the ugly sage of war upon my particular hand, a mass that's on the western front, i guess the been good psyched, but milestone acknowledged the difficulty of making a pass of his film without making war seem exciting. and so you see the machine gun and then in a reverse shot, you see the people that are being mo, down as though it was the camera itself, mowing the people down. he can't get out of this problem, which is to say that he has to stage the very drama that he's also trying to criticize it's a problem every adaptation has faced how to make war seem as horrific as remark, describes it without making the battles look too thrilling if the camera work is stunning,

if the score is incredible and it all comes together with their wonder for actors, it can ah happen. and i saw it, and a war movie start. this is sir, and it could tend to be an adventurous happening. you witness as a member of the audience. ah, and i thought we can do this. it is not possible to do and had the ties inc. if an appetizing movie that advertises wall you can't do it is now for the 1st german film of all quiet on the western front. edward baccha and his team were determined to make war as an heroic, as possible. every detail of the movie, the grimy mud and cramped trenches, the discordant music and the gut wrenching violets, was designed to be unnerving,

brutal, and above all realistic. it was also very important to sort of to show violence that is identical, whether it happens to friend or foe sort of in remarks novel and then our film and the death of an enemy is not a good thing. and the death of an enemy is not sort of less appalling them the death of a friend. oh god. after watching this movie, i guess no one wants to go to war any more and that's the thing we wanted to change

. ah, in 1930, the brutal battle scenes. the 1st film version had a similar fact hailed as an indictment of war, who was milestones epic went on to win 2 oscars, including for best film. but in germany, right wing groups were on the rise. they saw the marks book and milestones film as treason not something that arises round in 1930. the nazis were not yet empower, am desperate, but gobbles who later became minister of propaganda organized protests, yet a deep fluid flushed along fun. since they released mice and to cinemas, screening all quiet on the western front and the chemo higher and 3 stink bombs form varnish. wooden stink bombing of orphan monopoly addition talk also. they exerted political pressure yet and eventually got the film, fossil sunset,

good side, and then bound altogether went vis. add on cancer bought in florida when the nazi ceased power in 1933, all quiet on the western front was one of the 1st books they banned and publicly burned in nazi such as nazis didn't like that. the war was presented as a cruel events that destroyed people and cause i'm as i, i can established it for did that have nothing about the glory of war about the strong german of isn't it the germans, like every one else who shown us, we allowed as those who die, why it's like, it wasn't a war glorifying book and it wasn't a glorifying film. hell had showed the cruelty of whole and that's not what the nazis wanted. and that's what unites his me. instead, with their own propaganda films, the nazis presented a romantic and heroic version of war depicting battle as an adventure and death for the fatherland as glorious a vision that would end and the butchery of world war 2. and the holocaust.

decades later came the 2nd u. s. version of all quiet on the western front. this time in color for t v. and starting as paul boy or richard thomas, famous as the fresh faced john boy from wholesome american series. the waltons, the film won an emmy, but had little impact for years after the end of the vietnam war. pacifism wasn't seen as a very radical stage. the seeing had it's, it's a reason maybe why the film didn't get that much international attention. although it's a very good film of food, isn't sandwiched, a famous issued emotionally bit disunion often stationed all 3 movies. take liberty with remarks original novel but only the netflix version adds a parallel storyline in which german vice chancellor mathias at aback. i played in

the film by daniel blue to brokers a piece deal with the french in real life german, right when you spawn the armesis into a conspiracy. turning asbell gothic office into escape. good. finds its issue fucking with death. how so? stout lynch, little tongue leo. o c a week later after you sign it he, they started the legend of, of the back stabbing legend. we call it like he, we, they said we would have won the war. politics betrayed us. he sent, he signed the peace away or he signed this war. we would have won and, and, and by the end we, he betrayed the germination and he was killed 3 for years afterwards by german nationalists, by german terrorists, by network, by national terrorists. and, and this gave sort of rise to the nazi movement from you. that was important to not only talk about the 1st but the but the bases have this one big conflict that,

that, that arose from the films ending has paul boy are dying and a final pointless assault minutes before the ceasefire. a battle not in the book or in a historical record in book is a, in the book. he's just a random victim. like so many as it is, it's gonna be as honest as death is only mentioned in passing in the last sentence that let's, let's do that. that's the laconic meaning of the title. it's all quiet on the western front. that house life ends with a theme from poet. when does the film is denied this by a dramatic and angle? that's not historically accurate. i think the companies in there, there was no such last battle as a one vice is gaap, didn't tease us. let's dig a fake mm. whatever the films, artistic license remarks. cor message remains as timeless as this berlin memorial to all victims of armed conflict. the reminder that there are no winners in war. it doesn't matter from which side you you take it from the ukranian russian, our german french english site. everyone who's involved ah,

is getting destroyed somehow. tisha is in the school. kind of you saying should i my sister film, cisco void german. i'm sure it puts him in because i put to pci the date faced it up by a you suffer. i . the senselessness of war seems to be a lesson humanities still hasn't grasped, considering that in ukraine war continues to rage. and there seems to be no end in sight. making art has become a form of resistance. we spoke with 3 ukrainian artists, ah, on february 24th 2022 of russia launched its war of aggression on ukraine.

the stars such as spat us lava, could choke from the band. oak young elsie won't allow their art to become another victim of the war, not least because it's key to the cultural identity and cohesion of their country. oh grove sir ah, how cannot continue to survive during more what's at stake and how can it help it's a gray winter's day in keith. we're meeting alone. yeah. alone. yeah. that was, i had the ability to put it in it as it was a lot of the famous ukrainian wrapper sings about everyday life. the new york times named her one of the 50 most important euro pop acts. she's become

a voice of her generation and a style i con bag. the 1st moments of the war are etched in her memory. i was scared because i didn't know what they have to do. nobody teach me what they have to do and work on in my country. so it was emptiness and, and scurried about it. he bought it as it along along his lyrics, a direct but never aggressive. her message is a progressive one. boy little good girl is paula gauge on what barbara says him. no, you guys had a surgery. well, you'd have that bag with him, lloyd, you my dear? ah, today she's recording at the television studio of ukrainian broadcaster aiyona ayana commutes between keith,

poland and wherever her korea takes her. she's used to crossing borders. who is very important that the, in that number of situation, the branches, it wouldn't have clueless moon and then it did. wiley, the pledge, some al yona yona refuses to give up hope, which in the mind this trunk is a plea to the world to pray for ukraine. i said, don't put the ship is severe. i am happy that in all festivals in all the repairs even be in stages. i see more of ukrainian artist art always help to be to have connection was other, a conscious to all understand us to know something new about us and see that we are creating, ah, she uses music and social media to fight persian and rushes war of aggression all her songs have a political message and her clear position resonates with audiences,

particularly with women. to talk about the ukraine. i know that we will win this war this year. and sir, i know that your grain will be barred. the fever, be unconscious. i little i am a yana, is optimistic because she says she has no option to her music as a means of survival and a tool of protest. oh boy, boy, it'll go amid the devastation of war, walls have become a canvas for expressions of resistance. even the world famous graffiti artist banks, he has left his mark here, girls dance around shell holes, children see saw on tank traps. but bank c is just one of many blue noodles and graffiti, or a way of demonstrating against the russian invasion. and as the last year went by,

street art began popping up everywhere for all to see these civilian protests, a changing the face of war torn ukrainian cities, a whole generation is at the front. others are going into exile to stay or to go. it's a decision that many are to struggle with, but art can often only survive abroad. awe from cheve, we had to berlin to meet a popular multi media artist from ukraine. deanna as sue's chose to flee on the 1st day of the war. i didn't want to go anywhere. and i think i was also in denial and i just didn't feel like i could go somewhere else and didn't see myself in berlin for example. but because it wasn't stopping in which us like escalating

all the time, we went to look through hungary to a finally, to berlin. obviously that's a very dark here for all of us now. could say that in my life, that's one of the darkest a says yelling of los feeling of anxiety, of disturbance. tiana, a sous is a multi disciplinary artist who mixes film music and performance in 2021. she co founded the label standard deviation before the war. keith was a hotspot of the european club scene. as soon as d j to round the city, including at the legendary club, $41.00 experiences like hers of the focus of an electronic music festival in berlin. this kind of thing that other people can kind of perceive as soon as one ukrainian and one

syrian parent. she grew up in both countries to homelands, to was and now immigration. how does this affect her creativity, but you can be anxious to live. there was of course, period of time, like, especially the 1st half of these 12 months where i felt i was unable to do anything . but then, you know, there is also a sense of a sort of community and what, because late you this brought ukrainians together. ah, at the festival in berlin, deanna a sous shout her 1st video work from exile. it was created with the help of artificial intelligence. the music is by nothing in norry. it's a hypnotic sound collage as dark and threatening as a zeus is world of images. ah,

the future isn't bright, but those like, oh the hope the it's the last thing the dies i guess. so we're still. i think you few are like completely pessimistic. or we wouldn't be able to continue to move on and have this like prospective that things can change back in keith. we bought an appointment with the ukranian national hero status level vaca chak ah, he's son. obee may has become a kind of national anthem. ah, on the 50th day after the russian invasion, he formed the song amid trouble at the via nona in venice. every kid in ukraine knows that ah,

ah, his perspective has also changed in recent months. it's a mixture of all and broadness of grain and bravery. here he isn't, folly training soldiers, their brothers and sisters, and also suddenly experiencing this nightmare that you see around the devastations killing, wounded people in the hospitals, all the signs of, of the war in which she's in love. i saw in the problematic situation. i turn to music actually this,
