I watched the new film earlier this week and it is indeed a warning to anyone watching that war is hell on earth.
Seriously: do not watch this if you are not in a good place emotionally/spiritually because it is bloody intense.
The one change that this film makes from previous interpretations is that it includes glimpses of the peace talks. One review I read felt this took away from the film, but I disagree; understanding that an end to the war is approaching is what makes this version work.
Netflix apparently gives you translation options, and I watched it with the original German audio with English subtitles - another friend complained about it having dubbed British English audio?
I don't ever want to be a war buff.
