    This kind of story must be adapted from real events. Because its degree of "weirdness" exceeds the audience's logical expectations for a specific situation! Renoir’s Great Phantom is just a relatively mild prisoner of war friendship. The film turned out to be a warm Christmas with a soprano battlefield intermittently in the bloody battlefield of World War I! The degree of completion is quite high, and some scenes are quite touching and thought-provoking, but I just feel that the whole incident...

    ①The theme is profound and the expression is deliberate ②War is the continuation of politics. There are rules in politics, and there are rules in war. ③When everyone walks out of the trenches and rejoices, the French scouts are hung in the crater. ④Lu Xun said, really said, the battlefield Outside courage is always rich, because they have no life...

    I almost watched a movie in which I burst into tears, and I was so moved that I didn't want to do theoretical analysis. We are just machines under the regime, but this still cannot make people shine with their own light. After watching this movie on Christmas night, in addition to sadness, there is warmth in my heart. If there is a fairy in the magic lamp that can make me realize a wish, I hope that there will be no more wars from now on, and let us have a drink as...

    The light of each other during the rendezvous

    On Monday (3/26), I went with two friends to watch "Close Warfare" with two friends. The original name "Joyeux Noël" means "Happy Christmas" in French.

    (The plot is introduced below, with thunder.)


    At the beginning, the French, English, and German primary school students stood on the podium and...

    Another Merry Christmas on the battlefield

    If you don't know the background of the story, you may think such a film is too sensational, too incredible. However, I have to tell you that everything that happened here has really happened for more than 80 years. On Christmas Eve that day, countless people poured out of the trenches to the...

Joyeux Noel quotes

  • [addressing a group of young men sent to replace the fraternizing Scottish soldiers]

    Bishop: Christ our Lord said, "Think not that I come to bring peace on earth. I come not to bring peace, but a sword." The Gospel according to St. Matthew. Well, my brethren, the sword of the Lord is in your hands. You are the very defenders of civilization itself. The forces of good against the forces of evil. For this war is indeed a crusade! A holy war to save the freedom of the world. In truth I tell you: the Germans do not act like us, neither do they think like us, for they are not, like us, children of God. Are those who shell cities populated only by civilians the children of God? Are those who advanced armed hiding behind women and children the children of God? With God's help, you must kill the Germans, good or bad, young or old. Kill every one of them so that it won't have to be done again. The Lord be with you.

    All: And also with you.

    Bishop: May God Almighty bless you. The Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost. Amen.

    All: Amen.

    Enfant francais: Child, upon these maps do heed This black stain to be effaced Omitting it, you would proceed Yet better it in red to trace Later, whatever may come to pass Promise there to go you must To fetch the children of Alsace Reaching out their arms to us May in our fondest France Hope's green saplings to branch And in you, dear child, flower Grow, grow, France awaits its hour.

    Enfant anglais: To rid the map of every trace Of Germany and of the Hun We must exterminate that race We must not leave a single one Heed not their children's cries Best slay all now, the women, too Or else someday again they'll rise Which if they're dead, they cannot do.

    Enfant allemand: We have one and only enemy Who digs the grave of Germany Its heart replete with hatred, gall and envy We have one and only enemy The villain raises its murderous hand Its name, you know, is England.
