Oscar week is catch-up time for "All Quiet on the Western Front." Having barely caused a stir after an October release in theaters and on Netflix, this German antiwar epic is now an Oscar lock as Best International Feature and also the recipient of a wowza nine nominations, including Best Picture, just behind presumptive favorite "Everything Everywhere All at Once."

Hard to beat the original which won two Oscars. The book notwithstanding.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
..."Berger provides ruthless perspective by showing military and political power brokers negotiate at a safe distance from the battlefield where youth are sacrificed like pawns in a war game not of their making. It was ever so, and that's the tragedy.
You could argue that "All Quiet on the Western Front" teaches us nothing new about the ferocity and futility of war. But since history is still destined to repeat itself -- just look at those Russian tanks rolling into the Ukraine -- can we ever get enough reminders? That's what makes this dark horse in the Oscar race an essential lesson that's impossible to shake."
