All Quiet On The Western Front

So I put politics and everything else aside and watched the new All Quiet On The Western Front on Netflix tonight. I haven’t watched a movie in months. Those poor WW1 soldiers. Cannon/machine gun fodder. The wounded dying out in No-man's-land was just like some Civil War battles fought in entrenched positions.

I don't think I ever saw the black-n-white movie version. I saw the 1979 version with Richard Thomas, Ernest Borgnine and Patricia Neal several times although it's been a few years since the last time.

The newest version is in German with German actors and English subtitles. There are lengthy scenes of at least a couple of subjects that I don't recall being in the 1979 version.
