Terry Denham Posted 11 January , 2004 Share Posted 11 January , 2004 Sounds like the last scene from the original film version of "All Quiet on the Western Front" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Bulloch Posted 12 January , 2004 Author Share Posted 12 January , 2004 That is what I thought Terry, some one on the forum did a small drawing of it and used it as an Avitar it hit a nerve in me I thought it was so very touching. But the scene in the film AQOTWF was it not a bird?? Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broznitsky Posted 12 January , 2004 Share Posted 12 January , 2004 Rob, I believe it was Annette Burgoyne. If you search for the thread I think Mordac (Garth) had questioned her about it, and it was based on AQWF. It was a butterfly, as that was what Paul the hero collected.

Annette Burgoyne Posted 12 January , 2004 Share Posted 12 January , 2004 Guilty as charged. It is on the cover of the soft backed copy of All Quiet. In the 1930's film, Paul see a butterfly and tries to get hold of it, when he is shot by a French sniper. I was heart broken when I first saw this film as a kid, and I hated the French for a long time (I was only a kid and do not hate the French now). The image is very moving.
