All Quiet on the Western Front, by Lewis Milestone

I know this is black and white and what may even be called a dependence on the crisp, clean look of modern movies (2000 and on ---->). This does not mean however i do not keep an open mind. Mr. Bennet's explanation of how rigorously and precisely film makers will direct and produce the film blew my mind. This is because I realized that everything that is done in a movie has a purpose and reason. This of course means that movies use foreshadowing, symbolism, and metaphors. As in books movies can reveal truths of life through story telling. The movie at hand is a movie set in wartime and spiked my interest when introducing a character (Krasinsky) who is able to find any morsel of food within 25 miles. It has been interesting to analyze how the movie is developed and not just the story the movie has to tell.
