I have seen it and I remember I wasn’t too kind about Daniel Radcliffe. I did like the movie very much though. At the time there were rumours of another All Quiet on the Western Front remake starring him and that bothered me. But I agree, it’s an excellent movie. Very tragic. Kipling paid a huge prize for his misguided ideas.

That’s Stanley Kubrick’s Paths of Glory. It’s very good, I agree. An older one from 1937, La Grande Illusion, is good too.

I’ve never watched this one – nor had any inclination to after a few similar reviews to yours.

But I did want to say that the Poms did a TV movie with some similarities starring Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) called My Boy Jack. Based on a play, its the story of Rudyard Kipling’s search for information about his son after he is lost at the Battle of Loos. Its told with a lot of flashbacks and I think Daniel Radcliffe is excellent in his role as the son, a young man who should never have been anywhere near the front but was pushed into it by his father who very much had very grandiose ideas about the nature of warfare as illustrated in his famous stories.

If you haven’t seen it – I highly recommend it.

True. The one with Kirk Douglas which is part court room drama is also excellent. Its name currently escapes me.

I think that despite such liberties the book should be better. Japrisot is usually not a sentimental writer.
I agree abou the WWI movies. the Australian did some great ones but there are French movies like THe Officer’s CHamber which are excellent.
All Quiet is hard to follow.

I haven’t seen the film but I read the book about 15 years ago. I enjoyed it although I though the part where one of the soldiers left in no mans land brought down a German plane by throwing a hand-grenade at it suspended disbelief a little too far. Sadly there aren’t enough good WW1 films in circulation although All Quiet On The Westrn Front is a tough act to follow.

I know exactly what you mean. I feel like that about him as well and this one bored me too.
Even though it’s set up like a crime investigation there is no suspense and we know she will find him and even in what condition is no surprise.

I saw it. It wasn’t bad but it just sort of bored me. I’m not sure if a director or leading lady change would have helped. Jeunet has made movies I both Iove and hate.
