I love how the seasoned Frenchman in the very beginning hears the attack coming and the way he reacts, never let his guard down

Its really sad how the men were forced to go on a last minute attack while the general just sits back and relax

"He fell in October 1918, on a day that was so quiet and still on the whole front, that the army report confined itself to a single sentence: All quiet on the western front. He had fallen forward and lay on the earth as though sleeping. Turning him over one saw that he could not have suffered long; his face had an expression of calm, as though almost glad the end had come."

Good detail at 1:06, the French officer orders a counter charge, which was common and historically appropriate for French "aggressive defense"

Surprised no one else is mentioning this but wut i loved about this ending is paul saving the young german soldier which leads to Paul's death and the young german soldier collecting dogtags just like paul at the start of the movie.

After seeing all the reels I watched it on Netflix and I have to say I was beyond words. This last bit left me in tears mostly cause these young men were celebrating the end. I bet mostly cause they were all done fighting. But still followed blind orders. Just left me so shook seeing these boys so close to the end die for nothing a senseless war over the death of an old man.

"Instead of adventure, we found fear. And in war, the only true equalizer is death." - Battlefield 1.

My grandfather was a Survivor of WW1. He was Born in 1887. Italian Front, Alpini Fiamme Verdi, from Isonzo to Piave. He has runned on many Battlefields. Rip. MV

What i love about this movie was how it portrays death in combat. There was no hero, no redemption Men just die

What I understood from this film is that the protagonist has nothing left. His friends died doing their duty, which was to fight for their country, and the protagonist thought that the best way to honor them was to continue fighting in the last minutes of the war. . I hope there are more World War I movies, since the one that caused World War II, came from World War I. i mean hitler

My grandfather, a royal engineer, survived Gallipoli, as did a future uncle (who had emigrated to Australia before the war) who introduced my grandfather to his widowed sister in Wales.

That fact that you could have an ancestor war hero and not even know is crazy

I’m not sure if it was deliberately choreographed this way, but Paul’s movements during the charging and fighting outside of the trench strike me as weary, and mechanical. He’s not reacting to the soldiers dropping like flies around him, he isn’t really expressing any sharp fear whenever the French are close or when he’d shooting, just going through the motions in a rapid yet still drained and exhausted manner, without the energy of fear and adrenaline (at least until he jumps in the trench). I’m not sure if it was deliberate, but it gives off this feeling that he’s done this so many times, the possibility that this one could be the last time just. He’s beyond the point of giving a shit. He doesn’t care if he catches one of those machine gun rounds, all that matters is getting to that next bit of cover. And then bayonetting that Frenchman. And then jumping into the trench to save the guy he can hear pleading for his life inside. And it’s not until it becomes a fistfight that the adrenaline kicks in. Up until that point, just operating on standby mode and going through the motions of combat without really processing it, is what it seems like. Absolutely dead inside already.

One additional tragic detail is that despite before seeing war as something to be glorified, at the very end he was shooting and stabbing enemies in the back. And in the end, that’s how he died. No honor in his actions, or even in death. There is no glory in war, not even in victory or defeat.

Paul is no longer a boy here, but a warrior.

If I was at the tail end of the losing side of the war. Especially down to the final few minutes. I’d just pretend I got shot and lay still in a bombed out crater. Phuck that!

Brother, imagine, you suffer in a war for 5 years, losing friends, seeing millions of bodies, so much despair that in the last battle you die

My grandfather fought in Verdun (french side). He was telegraphist in the infantery. Hopefully he survived.

That rock at the end gave him the strength to move his entire body around 😂

00:20 the way they run forward give me chills 😢

The determination to survive, must have been equal to the fear of dying

0:56 , 1:14 , 1:24 1:34 In all those scenes we see that the innocent soldier is dead and now the evil soldier is born trying to murder all his targets, that is what war makes us.

The French general is a gigachad

Bro when Paul bayoneted the first French soldier the the other German hit him in the head with his gun is just true teamwork

when people lose their humanity and become beasts 😔

Thank you for not spoiling it for people who haven’t seen the movies or the book. First I was upset the clip was cut short but I applaud you for it.

The stone thing at the end, a little incredible. You see bugger all when you've got mud in your eye. In any fighting scene no one is going for the eyes, throat or groin, the weakest parts. If I'm fighting for my life my attacker WILL lose his eyes, no sight = pretty harmless.

The most anti war. War book and then movie ever made. Everyone dies no happy ending just senseless violence of young men

Nobody will say anything that at the end of the video Paul stares at us?

0:52 first error, the weapon is plastic bruh

I would’ve just pretended to have been hit and laid down til the time came.

What i love about this scene is if at 0:14 you closely and seeing a black Senegal troop running past the French officer at the right

the choreography in this scene is absolutely insane.

Josiah Trelawny

I went with my dad and cousin to watch this. I couldn't hold the tears. To quote capt Hawkeye, "war is hell".

Things like this did happen where the battle did continue despite 11:00 am was about to strike.

What a horrible mess that was for all of those young men.

All so some general can say he took land in his last battle.

SPOILERS:The actual ending is that the man still survives and sees a pistol next to him,Paul tries to get it but the gets it first but Paul tackles the man into the bunker and the man misses the shoot,then they get up and the man pauses,Paul I confused and there another man being him and stabs Paul in the heart behind Paul's back and the man runs outside and the guy in front of Paul walks away and the worst part is that the war just ended after Paul is stabbed and Paul gets up and walks up the stairs and sits by a wall and dies,Then another person who met Paul finds his body and sits there and pauses just sitting there and looks and Paul and later he the person walks away and the scene cuts to credits.THE END

Imagine getting your head dopped in that dirty trench mud... 😢

2:58, my face when he or she doesn't show the rest of the battle

Nothing for a long time pissed me off in a film more than that German commander ordering them to attack right before the ceasefire.

I love how this video shows the ending of the movie

We've learned nothing.

Reading storm of steel right now...what an intense book.

It would be so sad to die in that charge. Dying in the last 15 minutes would be horrible. Imagine being so happy you’re about to surivive after 4 years and you die in the last 15 minutes. That’s so sad.

The real Best Picture of 2022

Sad when you think about it the war was basically a waste of time and lives 😕

Yall in the comments just can’t appreciate a good movie

Women have no idea.

This camera working is insane.

The hardest part about this scene for me, was the look of shock on the French soldier. He and his fellow soldiers were simply waiting for the armistice to come into force at 11:00 a.m. We rarely think about the impact of a few minutes, but the final moments of the World War I were senseless.

Just to let you guys know at the start he says “enemy attack get in position”

The commander knew that when they were within grenade throwing range they had to counter attack.

This adaptation used truth in spectacle to represent the grind of the Great War as the mindless, gory, flinch inducing nightmare engine that it was. I of course used subtitles.

those officers and generals that ordered men to attack on the morning of the 11th of November were the worst 😑

I’m sure some soldiers found a nice hole in no man’s land to camp out in & let the last 15 min ride out

They are all fools! They died for the interests of someone else's big business. What did they get from this war? Nothing! They remained fools. And the bourgeoisie benefited!

It looks like Paul had 1 more round chambered. I wonder why he jumped down into the trench to go into melee? It seems that decision led to his death.

Damn Paul can fight

I am not sure any of my great grandfathers made it alive. I know one died somewhere in Russia. Not sure about others.

The way they double teamed the guy at 1:22 lol

2:58 that scared me lol

Surviving all of that just to be drowned in the mud like that would have been wild lol

me and my wife watched the movie last night then she had nightmare and won't talk the nightmare all about

War is the hell.

Is it just a coincidence that the French officer looks like Peter Sellers as Inspector Crusoix from the Pink Panther movies?

Could you imagine baneting your best friend in the smoke

If I’m not mistaken, it was US General Pershing who made the Americans fight till the last second of WW1.

War is hell

This kind of murder is a crime against humanity

The German might not get killed like all the young men he sent to their pointless doom but he has to live with a wounded price for the rest of his life. THat is a fate worse than death for an egomaniac

Damn, man, he was ALMOST there. And then stab..... .... that's it... that's it.... that's it....

Introduction to hank williams amgheist!

Just imagine how it must’ve felt for the germans thinking they really fought the wars to end all wars but only to be recall to live the horror in the eastern front more than 2 decades later only witnessing the horror again but this time 10 times worse

Mes arrière oncle sont aller à la guerre et il on sur écus de 1914-1918

As an Englishman, I wish we joined the Central Powers

This last attack ruined the movie for me. I could find no historical background for major last minute attacks like this. In fact, it kind of messes with the whole concept of the title of the movie. In the books, and the 2 previous movies, the main character was killed on a relatively quiet day on the Western Front about a month before the war ends, by a sniper -- thus making the point that the war was so horrific that even on relatively quiet normal days men were being killed and individual lives didn't really count for much in the big picture.

I actually like more the germans dub. You can hear soldiers screaming and hear some screaming in pain. Also the stabbed soldier was like screaming in pain not like in the english that they Just removed It. And Sorry for my bad english

Good thing they had true French to play the French military. Often they hire Canadian French with an accent or other people that barely speak french.

The Western Front will remain as one of the most f*cking chaotic parts of history.

At least these guys could drive with their headlights on at night.

Если генерал так хотел боя мог сам повести солдат в атаку.

That's the John Wick many decades ago....

Me recuerda a la carga final de ernst jünger vs los ingléses, " la guerra estaba perdida pero no dejaríamos que nos quitarán nuestro espíritu viril" dos formas de ver la guerra

Meu filme favorito de guerra

Every man has to realize when is time to turn back and shoot your commander in the face

It sad in WW1 France suffered the most lots of land damage and losses caused and PS some of the French soilders are wearing hats not good when you're in battle very bad head protection

How do you even know who to shoot at? Everyone is in mud covered wool coats running around in low visibility.

Small mistake at 2:02 it turns out that in the industrial era, French helmets were the most impenetrable, so this scene makes no sense. After all, it's still a movie, so it's not too bad.

Oh wow, did that grenade actually have a 6 second fuse on it?

Horrific. those poor soldiers on both sides were forced into a war no one wanted. Those French tanks and flame throwers were not to be messed with. Mind you those heavy German artillery machine guns had some guts too.

My grand dad died for Deutschland during the battle of tannenberg. He was only 17

The frenchs were not fighting for their country, but for their lives.

105 years
