The story starts in a German classroom. A teacher gives an exciting speech to his students about the glory of war. He encourages his students to join the war, so that they could bring honour to Germany. So the whole class of students join the war and leave together.

They are brought to a training camp and then are sent to a post with some soldiers that have been on the front for quite some time. The soldiers try to gather food up to satisfy their hunger. More and more young boys die of hunger.

Most of the soldiers wonder about why the war is happening and why they cannot just go home. They wonder why they can't just throw all of the kings into a large field and let them fight it out among themselves. It is not long before only one of the young men from the start of the movie is left. All of the other young men have died. Paul (the last young man) is wounded（受傷） badly. He returns home to see his mother. He goes around town and it seems like nothing there has changed. The people are still talking about the glory of war. Paul can't help feeling sorry for them, because those people who never go to the war field cannot understand how terrible the war is.

When he returns back to the front, his friends all have died. The film ends with the death of Paul. A gun shoots him when Paul is catching butterflies. On the newspaper there is only A// Quiet on the Western Front.

    One night l was sitting in my room half-listening when my 14-year-old son Tommy fought with his 12-year-old brother Kevin. I didn't pay attention when Kevin rushed up the stairs with the hurt on his face.

    About 20 minutes later, when l was walking upstairs I hear Kevin crying inside the bathroom. I knocked on the door and asked, "Hey, Kevin, do you want to talk?"

    No answer.

    I tried again, "Why don't you come out of there?"

    Again, no answer.

    So, looking around, I took a stack of（一摞）cards and a pencil and wrote, "If you don't want to talk, we can write notes to each other."

An hour later I was still sitting on the floor outside the bathroom with two stacks of cards in front of me. One was blank and one was cards from Kevin on which he expressed all his terrible feeling into words for me, One of Kevin's notes said, "Nobody in this family cares about me. I am not the youngest, and I am not the oldest. Tommy thinks I am silly and Dad wishes he had the other

    Kevin as a kid because he's better at basketball. And you're never around to even notice me."

My eyes became wet as I wrote back to him. "You know, Kevin, I really do love you and I'm sorry I don't always show it. I am here for you and you are loved in this family."

There was no answer for a while, but then l hear a tearing（撕）sound coming from inside the bathroom. Kevin who had run out of cards wrote on a torn paper cup, "Thanks."

I wrote back "For what?"

It returned to me with "Loving me" on it.
