BATTLE FOR THE WESTERN FRONT is a Canadian war drama in which an ailing platoon desperately hangs on for victory while fighting enemy soldiers during World War I.
violence
Soldiers exchange gunfire on a battlefield, resulting in occasional blood spurts. There are stabbings and slashings using bladed weapons, however, these lack visual detail and mostly occur during darkly lit scenes. A soldier repeatedly hits an enemy soldier using a shovel, with limited impact detail.
injury detail
There is sight of a blown-off arm in the aftermath of a grenade explosion. There is blood across character’s faces and on their clothing in the aftermath of violence. Dead bodies are shown lying strewn across a battlefield.
additional issues
There is a tense scene of moderate gun threat in which enemy troops carry out a prisoner swap. Mild bad language ('bastard', 'piss', 'bloody') occurs, as well as very mild bad language ('damn', 'hell'). A character angrily refers to an indigenous Canadian soldier as a ‘Redskin’, however, this is met with swift condemnation. Soldiers occasionally refer to Germans as ‘Huns’; this term is reflective of the historical period in which this film is set. There is a brief scene of sexual threat in which an enemy soldier corners a distressed young woman in a barn.
