#Westfront1918, #GWPabst, 1930 is the root of #PathsOfGlory, #ComeAndSee, and #SavingPrivateRyan, among so many others.
It covers a lot and must have been overwhelming to many audiences at the time.
I could have done without a lot that's in the opening, including learning a new racist slur as a term for coffee (in German, and hard "r").
Like with #ShanghaiExpress earlier today, so many older films are blatantly and uncaringly racist, misogynistic, homophobic; just bad in so many ways.
