All Quiet On The Western Front (2022) ***

After "Mutiny On The Bounty" (1935-1962) and "West Side Story" (1961-2021), this is the third remake of a Best Picture Oscar winner. What film will be next ? And why are all the pacifistic "life in the trenches is pure hell" anti-war movies always set during World War I, and never during World War II ? Oh yes, and the film is absolutely riveting.
