First of all, the sheer innocence of his facial appearance adds a poignant touch to the film, because the overwhelming theme of the story is how the war effects all young people of each nation, whether that person dies in the trenches or survives only to lament his days in the war. Lew Ayres, the man who plays Paul Baumer, convincingly portrays the main character in many ways. The three main reasons why I consider this movie so forceful are the acting, the cinematography, and simply the sincerity. Naturally, since the picture is based on Erich Maria Remarque's marvelous novel, the screenwriter was given quite a powerful story to begin with. To say that this movie is one of the greatest war films of all time would be an understatement.
