All Quiet on the Western Front shows more examples of these effects‚ especially in its focus on the main character. In All Quiet on the Western Front‚ most of the characters are easily shown to be effected by the war

They all have different plots and backgrounds‚ but for the most part‚ there are so much in common between these three stories in a psychological‚ socio/political‚ spiritual‚ queer‚ and feminist lens. Besides those examples‚ the one thing that connects these three the

__ All Quiet on the western front and how it relates to "Insensibility" by Wilfred Owen Submitted by: Marilyn Thipthorpe I think this movie is a classic masterpiece or example of Anti-war. It shows how war takes everything away from you especially your humanity. This movie was banned for about 4-5 years after its release because of its in-depth effect on people due to the war.

In All Quiet on the Western Front‚ there are many themes present throughout the text. The most important of which‚ being the psychological effects that the war has on the soldiers.
