The movie "All Quiet on the Western Front," is based on true events that happened around 1916. This is a war movie that dealt with Germans and the French, in WWI. Paul Baumer was the main character, but still I liked the way he acted, and how real some of his stunts were. I did not like Corporal Himmelstoss, ever since I first saw him; he was pretty crazy and impatient. A very good person and very patient guy was Stainislaus Katczinsky, all his recruits loved him.

Paul Baumer, a nineteen-year-old student, convinced to enlist with German army by his schoolmaster, Kentorek. Paul and many of his friends from school were trained together by Corporal Himmelstoss. Paul had a best friend who went to the same school, and trained with each other. Albert Kropp was his name; they both went through a lot of things together. Paul was a great soldier who lasted a while until he was killed a month before the war ended in October 11, 1918.

Corporal Himmelstoss was a strictly disciplined commander who dislikes Paul because of his "defiance." The Corporal Himmelstoss made them do so much exercise in the mud that one of the officials took him down from training, to going to the front. Himmelstoss had the shortest patience, and it got him no where. When Paul and his buddies were resting from the front, they met with the Corporal and Paul and the others made fun of him.

Stanislaus Katczinsky a man of forty years of age he was a wise old man as well as a friend to the other recruits. This man was very well experienced at war, since he was an old hand. All of his recruits loved, and respected him as a father. Mr. Katczinsky was a type of person who had patience with everyone who showed him respects. Paul really looked up to Katczinsky as a father, and Katczinsky treated him as his own son. .

In conclusion to "All Quiet on the Western Front," it was a great movie based on WWI. I personally do not like war movies, but this movie was great, and never got boring.
