We all know it, but we seem to be forgetting it at every turn\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll Quiet on the Western Front\u201d is a story about Paul Baumer who, driven by a misplaced sense of patriotic duty, lies about his age to fight for German forces in World War One, only to discover the horrors of being on the frontlines. <\/p>\n<p>There are two movie adaptations of the book, the first one by American director Lewis Milestone released in 1930 went on to win an academy award. A second by another American director, Delbert Mann, appeared in 1979.<\/p>\n<p>German actor Albrecht Schuch, who plays the character Stanislaus Katczinsky, said nothing he endured while making the film was comparable to the suffering of soldiers on a battlefield. For all those who fought, the war \u201cled to their devastation for generations to come,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>The filmmakers said that when they began filming it was a time when the EU was in danger of falling apart, America saw the resurgence of right-wing populism and Britain began its Brexit journey. \u201cIt felt like a timely thing to tell,\u201d Berger explained. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo bring back to our minds that nationalism or patriotism or division of countries doesn\u2019t really lead to progress.\u201d   <\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Divya Rajagopal; Editing by Stephen Coates)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/?attachment_id=2748211\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8C006-VIEWIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8C006-VIEWIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/?attachment_id=2748213\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8C007-VIEWIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8C007-VIEWIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Divya Rajagopal (Reuters) -German director Edward Berger said the world needed a reminder of the horrors of war as his remake of the anti-war classic \u201cAll Quiet On The<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1639966","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1639966","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1639966"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1639966\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1639966"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1639966"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1639966"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
