Title: A Great Idea: look at the war from the enemy's eyes
Review: This is the story of a German teenager, Paul, who is convinced by his teacher to join the army. It follows his trip through basic training up to the front lines of battle. I liked this movie a lot because it shows a graphic description of the war from the German point-of-view. One of the best scences of the film is when Paul is in a hole with a Frenchmen, and he takes care of him after he mortally wounds the soldier. Paul tries to understand why the war is being fought and why he has killed this man who has a family and friends just like him. This concept is hard for Paul to grasp. Paul survived the whole war until the end. The armistice hasn't come into effect yet and Paul is hit by a sniper while trying to reach for a butterfly. This last scene was very unexpected, and that is why it made this movie so good.
