All Quiet on the Western Front
Netflix, et al.
A gymnast knows to stick the landing.
Writers know this, too.
“It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known,” concluded Dickens in “Tale of Two Cities.”
“It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer. Charlotte was both,” E.B. White wrote, after spinning “Charlotte’s Web.”
But there’s no ending more powerful than the final pages from Erich Maria Remarque’s “All Quiet on the Western Front.”
Based on his own WWI war experience, Remarque’s words sent a chill through a world still grieving 20 million deaths and 20 million casualties.
