The main objective of my paper is to compare the visual and literary adaptations of All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque and explore why it is considered an anti-war work.
Here the focus does not necessarily lie on the historical accuracy of both the novel and the film, although I will briefly comment on that. Instead, I will delve into the elements used by the author, as well as the movie directors, writers, and producers, to show how the soldiers were chewed up by the ruthlessness of war and how meaningless the sacrifice of the individual often times was. To accomplish this, I will examine the differences as well as the similarities between the movie and the book.
So far, there has not been specific research on the movie, simply because it is relatively new. However, there is a large amount of secondary literature and articles about the novel and the psychological underpinnings of anti-war media.
Ultimately my paper strives to merge already existing knowledge obtained from various sources with my own interpretation of the work and present a comprehensive analysis.
