The film, adapted from German writer LeMarc's novel of the same name, revolves around an ordinary German soldier in World War I, Paul Bowman (Richard Thomas Richard Thomas), as a small microcosm of the brutal war on the western front. The cruelty and destruction of the war completely dashed his heroism. From his infatuation with war to his frustration after witnessing the war, Paul realized the horror of war and its destruction on human nature. At the end, there was a birdsong on the deathly silent front, and Paul followed the sound. Suddenly a war report broke the brief serenity and harmony, and the film ended in "all calm on the Western Front". The TV version of "No War on the Western Front", which was remade by American director Delberman in 1979, won several nominations at the TV Emmy Awards that year and won the Golden Globe Award for Best TV Film. The version shot in 1930 has become a classic anti-war theme. although this work is not as innovative as the old one, the director still talks about the absurdity and ruthlessness of war with heavy brush strokes and skillful techniques.
