....and what else, dazzlenation....let me see....'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'?.....er....perhaps not.....what is beautiful about 'that'....hmmm...a bit like that quote from 'apocalypse now' - "i love the smell of napalm in the morning" etc etc...it's a mad, mad world - isn't it?...and then we're back to that WWII poem 'the naming of parts'....go figure:

snow makes things 'magical' sometimes - particularly when it is unexpected...."cover up" replies BI online....hmmm....remember me advising daldry to use a 'snow machine' for a certain scene in billy elliot?

anyway, to conclude - 'crappy'....your 'steward' would have had a large percentage of your crew killed if i hadn't intervened.....rather like zelenskiy might do, if left to his own devices - as you had previously discerned....i think that we both understand each other - don't we?....after all of these years:

oh and the following is a reminder of certain input from green tower, let us say....notably hulbrusch and obama...regarding the remake of 'quiet on the western front'.....anyway, seeing as i do not know anything much about the original  WWI version...film or book....although, oscar appeared to know, as far as i can remember - so many years ago now....and so in brief, i cannot do a 'compare and contrast'...all i can do is talk about the whole 'bunyrabit' satanic line, regarding that NWO competition....along the lines of white egg/black egg...easter-bunnies-you-don't-like etc etc...."in both camps"....go figure:

anyway, i guess that is where flashbak gets his 'butterfly' motif from:

In the final scene, Paul is back on the front line. He sees a butterfly just beyond his trench. Smiling, he reaches out for the butterfly. While reaching, however, he is shot and killed by an enemy sniper. The final sequence shows the 2nd Company arriving at the front for the first time, fading out to the image of a cemetery.

and in the final scene of the 2022 movie.....he looks a bit like a statue...frozen in time....having previously been bayoneted, from behind - presumably by the french.
