All Quiet On The Western Front Dominates Baftas

[naomi24]

And very worthy it is too. The German-language drama's seven wins broke the Bafta record for the most awards for a film not in English. Harrowing, yes, but a seriously brilliant film.

Well done all.

The Harry Styles of the film world.

Cute.

[naomi24]

Not with you, douglas? What do you mean?

[douglas9401]

Sweeping the board at award ceremonies.

[naomi24]

Ah, right. I don't know much about him so I've no idea if he's a worthy winner - but this film certainly is.

[MissTerious2]

I thought Douglas was talking about Harry Styles sweeping the board at the Brits!

Or is he in the film?

[MissTerious2]

Forget what I said!

[bednobs]

im not usually good at "harrowing" as i watch films not to be harrowed but entertained.
I did, however, see this film and thought it was good. I wouldnt watch it twice though

[MissTerious2]

Is it on netflix?

[naomi24]

Yes Lottie.

I think I'll wait until they get around to dubbing it and showing it on Freeview.

Ami i right in believing there was a thread on here not so long ago criticising the fact a remake had been done. Looks like it is a very successful remake.
I'll most likely give it a whirl when i've caught up fully with past series of Unforgotten ready for the fifth - currently half way through series 2.

[Ken4155]

Can't do with dubbing, OG. Puts me right off when their mouths are not in sinc with what they are actually saying - reminds me of the Bruce Lee films i watched back in the day. Much prefer subbies.

Thanks Naomi x

[Old_Geezer]

Can't do with subtitles. Too distracting. May as well read the book directly.

I'm not a lover of war films. Is it very violent?
Naomi when you say harrowing, what do you mean?
