All Quiet on the Western Front
When we first viewed this movie, I was not impressed. The movie was in black and white, the acting was strange, and I was not a fan of the plot. As time passed however, I started to like it. Paul, Kat, and Franz are all likable characters. The camera work is ahead of its time, and the black and white isn' t all that bad. I hope to enjoy this film ever more as time goes on.

I'm glad you gave it a chance. If you ultimately find the film to be worthwhile, please keep it in mind for our subsquent films. While a few of them are attention-grabbers from the first scene, most of them take a while to develop. I suppose it makes sense. If a director intends to create a sophisticated and nuanced portrait, it takes time to establish the parameters of that world.
