本片改编自德国作家雷马克的同名小说,围绕一名在一战中的普通德国士兵保罗·鲍曼(理查德·托马斯 Richard Thomas饰),作为整个西线残酷战争中的小小缩影。战争的残酷性和毁灭性使他的英雄主义彻底破灭。保罗从迷恋战争到目睹战争后的心灰意冷,他才意识到战争的恐怖及其对人性的摧残。尾声,死一般沉寂的前线出现了鸟鸣,保罗循声而找。突然一句战地报告打破了这短暂的宁静与和谐,影片在“西部前线一切平静”中结束。
本部由美国导演德尔伯特·曼于1979年翻拍的电视版本《西线无战事》,在当年电视艾美奖上获得多项提名,并荣获金球奖最佳电视电影。1930年拍摄的版本已成为反战题材的经典之作,本作虽在艺术创新性上不如旧作,但导演仍以沉重的笔触和纯熟的手法,道尽战争的荒谬无情。

In 2013, an Australian man a few months shy of turning 60 decided to walk the Camino de Santiago – an 800km pilgrimage trail across the top of Spain. He had no known religion, and absolutely no idea why he felt so deeply compelled to do this torturous walk.
But compelled, he was.
He completed the walk, battling a “triumvirate of pain” - a knee that he later discovered lacked any meaningful cartilage, a blister the sight of which would make a grown man weep, and shin-soreness that felt like his lower limb had been split with a mountain axe wielded by a demented troll.
Arriving at the end of the Camino, the majestic cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, he expected an epiphany – an answer to the question he’d been asking himself every day: Why am I doing this?
But no answer came.
So when he got home he wrote a book, hoping the answer would reveal itself in his scribblings. The result was The Way, My Way, a humourous and self-deprecating book that many consider the best memoir ever written on walking the Camino.
The book has now been made into a film, and it’s an extraordinary account of a man at a pivotal point in his life, searching for meaning and finding himself undergoing a fundamental transformation so profound that he now divides his life into “Before the Camino” and “After the Camino.”
It’s a story particular to one man, yet of appeal to anyone seeking a greater meaning from life.
