Overview
1. Write an essay about a comparison between the 1931 and the contemporary versions.
Film:
All Quiet on the western Front(1930)
Im Westen nichts Neues(2022)
2. Write 1950-2100 words.
3. You should seek to apply a specific approach to a film, to evaluate it critically and consistently using this approach.
Focus on the film as an anti-war film:
The following question may helps develop the essay:
1. What’s the anti-war film?
2. Is the film you described anti-war?
3. How does the 1931 version function as an anti-war film in relation to narrative, cinematography, and sound design?
4. How does the 2022 version differ, and does this change its anti-war message?
In order to answer the question you will need to define what constitutes an anti-war film and then consider whether All Quiet in its two versions conforms to the definition.
