Having WWI veterans basically recreate something traumatizing from their past was probably really weird. My great great grandfather faught in the trenches and whenever my grandfather asked him about anything related to WWI and the trenches, heād get scary PTSD attacks and start hyperventilating. If someoneās trauma was triggered by even mentioning, I canāt imagine filming a movie about it.

49:57 The fact that Paulās death is offscreen and we only have his hand to show he died is soooo so much better than showing Paul die onscreen. To that sniper, Paul was just another German enemy to take care of. And on top of that, that hand could belong to any soldier (although we know itās Paul), making him just another faceless casualty in a war he didnāt want. And that applies for all the soldiers; theyāre just another casualty, another note to send to another family, another grave to dig, another hospital bed to empty and fill, another tick mark added to the death toll. š

Something you didnāt mention is how, when the nazis came to power, the author of the book Erich Maria, fled Germany, so the nazi decided to behead his sister because he was āout of their reach,ā I think that is the most tragic part about this story. The author simply expressed and relayed how he felt through literature and his sister was murdered for it.

Reminds me of the time in grade 12 where a woman came to speak to us about joining the military as a means to afford university education. Her daughter was a soldier that died (I don't remember where she died, what war etc). But I was absolutely disgusted by how this woman spoke so highly of war and the military, when it was what took away her daughter. So when we were leaving the auditorium, and other kids asked about signing up, I told her that I was so sorry for her loss. She legitamently looked at me like I had two heads.
