rivers created by waterfalls flowing water particles into the air b, trees and sweating out up to 1000 liters of water in a day. course fee forest fires evaporating large amounts of moisture tune in to get the answer. learn more about this phenomenon at a good mind, a heavy, invisible river that flows through the sky starts march 23rd on dw. ah, we tried to make a film about our past about all responsibility in germany, towards our history. the terror of 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 war from 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 or me. so i understood that the war has thought it. how do artists and culture survive 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 found reflects on the pointlessness afford. oh, i love it and i did them a lot of baghdad. 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, gregory, is that when the former 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 hendern zohler gorski engine and i to my life either oh come gone one 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 and to see that youth. and that innocence, being mangled up and being torn upon being killed by and their souls being killed. i think this just so the universe, 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, come 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 eric 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 of the fair tickets to book tells the story of young powell boy and a 17 year old who gets drafted over the enthusiastically and listens to go to war just like how schoolmates listen to him for war with what made world war one say particular? how many young man 7 sees yesterday went to wal creek? it's all war. memoirs were nothing new but remarks book was different. he'd been a reporter instead of romanticize in battle. he described the violence and death in the trenches with an almost clinical precision. this is in the remnant of very matter of fact, reserve kind science. there are a few passages, the terrific sentimental. what made it unique because of 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 it or couldn't talk about it. i have someone who gave them a voice for d, and for those he, once in the war, it was a rat, fast hands account, almost as to hunt all quite on the western front, sold more than 2000000 copies its 1st 18 months in 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 screen all quiet on the western front. of course, a groundbreaking work was worse than it shows the ugly sense of war upon my

particular, on the mass that's on the western front. steven good side 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 her wonderful actors, it can, ah happened, 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 mom 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 realist. 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 in our film. the death of an enemy is not a good thing, and the death of an enemy is not sort of less appalling than 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 chief the in 1930, the brutal battle scenes. the 1st film version had a similar fact paled and indictment of war. louis milestones ethic went on to win 2

oscars, including for best film but in germany. right wing groups were on the rise. they saw remarks, book and milestones film. as treason i know that i see land in 1930, the nazi's, but not yet empower the gerbils, who later became minister of propaganda organized protests. yet the seem flushed along fun since they released mice and to cinema. screening all quiet on the western front and the chemo and 3 sink gums, vomas' wouldn't stink bomb. and often when i petition talk of exerted political pressure and eventually got the film faster, sunset, and then bound altogether. adam can support and for me, when the nazi sees power in 1933,

all quiet on the western front was one of the 1st books they banned and publicly burned denazi's hat. nazis didn't like that. the war was presented as a cruel events that destroyed people and call them as a state that had nothing about the glory of war about the strong german germans. like everyone else shown us, we supposed to die. it wasn't a war glorifying book, and it wasn't a glorifying phone. showed the cruelty of whole. and that's not what the nazis wanted. and that's what disney, 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 the depth, 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 each bit assumed and 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 got us into escape, good signs. it's a shooting fucking 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 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 had betrayed the germination and he was killed. 3 for years afterwards by german nationalists by german terrorists, a 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 am, are dying and final pointless assault minutes before the ceasefire. a battle not in

the book or in the historical record in boy is a, in the book. he's just a random victim. like so many as it is, it's gone. it was another death is only mentioned in passing in the last sentence said let's, let's do that. that's the laconic meaning of the titles. it's all quiet on the western front, but house life ends with as lean from power. when does the film is denied best by a dramatic and angle? that's not historically accurate. i think the comped is in there. there was no such last battle yet. one vice is gaap decent. these is, let's the good faith, 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, kind of who sang, shoot i,

my sister fiance could vote jonah loves it, puts him in because i taught 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, until the 24th 2022 of russia launched its war of aggression on ukraine such as the butterfly becca, choked from the band. ok on, elsie won't allow that to become another victim of the war. not least because it's

key to the cultural identity and cohesion of the country. i how cannot continue to survive during what's stake and how can it help it's a gray winter's day in tea. we're meeting alone. yeah. alone. yeah. the people in the famous ukrainian reco since about every day life the new york times name to 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 in my country. so it was emptiness. and, and scope of your body, people die alone. you're alone. your lyrics are direct but never aggressive. her message is a progressive one. boy, a little good girl as well. okay. um, what, what if there's a no, you don't have to do with him lawyer you made to her 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, that in that number of situation, a branches,

it wouldn't have clueless mood and then it did. wiley bitter deal, like some al yana yona refuses to give up hope which in the my this trunk is a plea to the world to pray for ukraine. i said don't put the she bill severed. i am happy that in old festivals in all the repairs even be in stages. i see more of ukrainian artist art always help to be to has 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 who did talk about the ukraine.

i know that we will win this war this year. and sir, i know that you grain will be barred, the fever, be unconscious. i that will, i am a young ayana is optimistic because she says she has no option to her music as a means of survival and a tool of protest. boil good 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 are a way of demonstrating against the russian invasion. and as the last year went by, st 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 artists 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 to says healing of laws 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 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?

of you can to 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 of what because lately this brought ukrainians together. ah, at the festival in berlin, deanna sue's showed 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 whole 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 lake perspective that things can change. back in keith. we bought an appointment with the ukranian national hero status level vaca chak ah . ah, he's on oh be may, has become a kind of national anthem. ah, on the 15th day after the russian invasion, he formed the song amid rubble at the via nona in venice. every kid in ukraine knows the chin. ah, ah, ah. his perspective has also changed in recent months. it's

a mixture of all and broadness of grain and bravery harry isn't folly and 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 e she's in my law. i saw in any problematic situation. i turn to music actually this, this year. i mean, this is the year of music for me. how unusual it sounds for people, but i did,

i do a lot of music. we did 175 performances in the front line. we did probably 50 or 6060 or dancers in europe and other countries already. a lot to come back, often go to the front. he sees and experiences the war 1st hand. there's been a lot of talk of a political career for him. following the footsteps of his father, he served as ministers, education, an impromptu performance on the streets of tea. ah, in the thanks of all the horror has he it was thought giving up music. i never lose my faith in music. music. is my airplane. actually fighting here as something that we do not only for ukraine with pain, i think we do it for the sake of the future of the whole free world western world. whole world general. i asked you to brent and gauge berlin. he gave

a moving performance in front of an audience of tens of thousands. what's happening in ukraine shows that even in war art place an invaluable rome where it doesn't just survive, it can thrive. i think that's all for this edition of arts unveiled. thanks for watching and until next time. the skies. thanks for watching from kick off. ah, ah, with
