Unlike most ..."message..." films which date themselves almost immediately, lewis milestone`s low-key unpolished and deeply-felt screen adaptation of the erich maria remarque anti-war novel has lost little of its original impact. years after its release it was still being banned in countries mobilizing for war. the plot follows a group of young german recruits in world war i through their passage from idealism to disillusionment. as the central character paul baumer (lew ayres) declares, ..."we live in the trenches and we fight. we try not to be killed - that`s all...." all quiet is an anthology of now famous scenes: ayres trapped in a shell crater with a man he has killed the first meeting of the recruits and the veterans infantrymen being mowed down to machine-gun visual rhythms a moonlight swim with french farm girls ayres` pacifist speech to his astonished schoolmates and the final shot of the soldier`s hand reaching for a fatal butterfly.
