re: All Quiet on the Western Front getting rave reviews out of TIFF

Anyone that has looked at the history and life in the trenches, or ever just listened to Dan Carlin's podcasts of WWI, it is an absolutely brutal picture.

In all of history, besides maybe the holocaust and few others, I'm not sure there is a worse place you would want to spend time in than the trenches in WW1.

Besides just being a literal meat grinder, you are living in filth, shite, disease, and often sleeping near the rotting corpses of friends that died next to you. And if you have to go over the top? 8 times out of 10 you are dead, or brutally injured and die slowly.

And I really feel like no film has truly captured that horror yet.
