Happy Thanksgiving eve everyone! Mike and Matt hope you have a wonderful holiday, eat lots of tasty food, and enjoy some movies with your family. For today’s 299th episode we chat about the Netflix Original All Quiet on the Western Front (2022). Additional topics include 1917, propaganda, and Matt needs some sleep.
All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) is an incredible story based around true events that took place over 100 years ago. The novel was such a huge hit in 1929 that they made it into a film the next year. The Netflix Original adaptation is an absolute visual feast. Not to dismiss the two other movie versions but with our current technology and the actor’s deep ties to their country and culture, this is the best visual telling of this story to date.
All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) is a must see film. The acting, sets, costumes, and cinematography are all at the peak of their game. Yes it is a gruesome gory film and that is the point. The story is being told in such a brutal way that the reader or viewer doesn’t think war is a good idea. The biggest let down of this film is that it is not easily available in the theaters. This movie is made to be seen on the big screen. Mike and Matt both agree All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) is a must see film both awarding it 4.5 out of 5 Reels.
