After watching all of his high school buddies loose their lives, Paul returns home a changed man, conflicted in his feelings about the Army and war, and altered from an idealistic schoolboy into a fearful and humble veteran.
The most brilliant aspect of 'All Quiet on the Western Front' is the way in which the film remains strictly faithful to the wonderful novel of the same name, creating complexity of the war experience through a duality of the main character's emotional journey and the in-your-face horror of life in the trenches.
With a generous budget Mann and his team have recreated as close as possible the repugnance and terror of war on an epic scale, and imbued it was a cast of stars including Donald Pleasance, Richard Thomas, Ian Holm, and Mann's old sparring partner from their Oscar winning classic Marty, Ernest Borgnine.
