the end of the age of meet the final episode in our series. the great meet debate is like the real thing. yeah. in 60 minutes on d w, we've got some hot tips for your bucket list. romantic corner trad hotspot for food check and some great cultural memorials to boot in w travel off we go. we tried to make a film about our past about all responsibility in germany, towards 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 free. i am in the morning from some anxiety and i heard exposures on the right to me. so i understood that the war has thought it had you. artists and culture survived more, her best international film, best original score fest cinematography and best production design. more oscars than any german production has ever won. an adaptation of a famous german novel, the thumb reflects on the pointlessness afford. oh, i love it and i have done

a lot of bad. yeah. 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 think inspiration from the german novel, all quiet on the western front or investing knish 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 depends against ruin. gregory is that when the former was what he gave mister front and flung number's press, 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. the sucrose starts once in headland, zohler gorski generates you my life either. oh, gum gung. 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, been killed by, and the souls being killed. i think it's just sort of, this is for

a very emotional universal topic. the ongoing war and ukraine gives all quiet on the western front, the book, and the films. a new poignancy is quite strange when you, when you're finished shooting a film and just a one and a half years later you see off 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, take it to book, tells the story of the young power 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 ccf, stickly, one, wall creek 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. this isn't in the written in a very matter of fact reserve time. so there are a few passages, the tour, a bit sentimental, but 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 chef. well, 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, it was someone who gave them a voice for di and for those he, once in the war, it was a fast time to count almost 100. all quite on the western front, sold more than 2000000 copies. and its 1st 18 months imprint. hollywood said king calling louis milestone adopted the book for the screen, trying to emulate the brutal authenticity of remarks words in moving pictures. i the result was one of the 1st and most powerful depictions of war on spring

all quiet on the western front, of course, a groundbreaking work force, and it shows the ugly sense of war upon my particular, on the mass that's on the western front. you didn't get 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 bo, down as though it was the camera itself lowing 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 wonderful actors, it can, ah happened, and i saw it in a war movie start. this is sir, and it could tend to be an adventurous happening. you witness as a member of the audience. um and i thought we can do this. it is not possible to do an advertising clip, an advertising movie, that advertises wall. you can't do this 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 violence, 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 full sort of in remarks novel and then our film, 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. that after watching this movie, i guess no one wants to go to war anymore. 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 right. they saw the marks book and milestones film as treason not something that that i assist mom in 1930 the nazis but not yet empower, am desperate but gobbles who later became minister of propaganda. organized protests with the food flushed along fun since they released mice and to cinemas, screening all quiet on the western front, and aquinos high and 3 stink bombs on varnish. wooden stink bombing of orphan manette politician talk also. they exerted political pressure yet and eventually

got the film fossil at sunset, good side, and then bound altogether went vis, add on guns for 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 can, st augustine for that had nothing about the glory of war, about the strong german of his anti spyware. germans like every one else who shown us, we as those who die, why it's like, it wasn't a war glorifying book and it wasn't a glorifying film. hell he had showed the cruelty of whole and that's not what the nazis wanted. and that's what unites his knee. instead with their own propaganda, holmes, 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 tv, 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, avoidance and with a furnace 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 asked maga played in the film by daniel blue brokers a piece deal with the french in real like german, right. when you're spun the armesis into a conspiracy, turning its back office into escape, good signs existed again with death. how so stout mentioned when william o. c. a week later after he signed it he, they started the legend of, of the backstabbing 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 had betrayed the germination. and he was killed 3 for years afterwards by german nationalists, by german terrorists, or 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. this one big conflict that, that, that arose from it. the films ending has poll, boy are dying and a final pointless assault minutes before the cease fire. a battle not in the book or in the store will record in boy is a in the book. he's just a random victim. like so many as it is this has gone from his on of his death is only mentioned in passing in the last sentence. so let's 1st, 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 liam from poet. when does the film is denied best by a dramatic and dang, that's not historically accurate. i think the company is in there. there was no such last battle as one vice is gaap didn't thesis. let the go face me. whatever the films, artistic license remarks, core 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 i'm is getting destroyed somehow to show the senior sco good of who sang, shoot i, my sister fiance could vote jonah loves it, puts him in because i put to pci. the date faced it up by a views of the senselessness of voice. seems to be a lesson humanity 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

. 24th 2022 of russia launched its war of aggression on ukraine such as butterfly, becca, choked from the band. ok on, elsie won't allow them to become another victim of the war. not least, because it's key to the cultural identity and cohesion of the country. i cannot continue to survive during more what's stake and how can i help it's a gray winter's day in tea. where meetings alone, you're alone. yeah. the people in the famous ukrainian rafa things about everyday life. the new york times named

one of the 15 most important euro pop packs. she's become a voice of her generation and a style icon. the 1st moments of the war edged 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 my country. so it was emptiness. and, and scope of your policy policy alone, you're alone. yours lyrics are direct but never aggressive. her message is a progressive one. boy, a little good girl is paula gaze on what barbara doesn't know. you guys had a bag with him lawyer i today she is recording at the television studio of ukrainian broadcaster aiyona

a way of demonstrating against the russian invasion. and as the last year went by, st act 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 soon as i 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 like 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 to says, yelling of loss feeling of anxiety of disturbance. giana, 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
