Violence & Gore
- It's nighttime, soldiers are fighting. A bomb explodes near a soldier's face; he then becomes blind. You can see blood on his eyes, he then screams in agony and pain which makes the scene emotional. Not knowing what is around him, he then runs right into the path of an enemy machine gun and is killed.
- A famous scene where Paul Baumer is in a deep hole during a battle, a French soldier jumps into the hole and Paul stabs him. Feeling sorry, Paul tries to save his life but fails. He is in sorrow and pleads for forgiveness.
- The famous ending to the film where Paul is in the trenches; he then spots a butterfly. He reaches out to grab it, but a French sniper sees him. Just as he is about to grab the butterfly, a shot rings out. Paul's hand falls, and it just lays motionless, indicating that he is dead.
