no friends on the battlefield

There is a very nice movie in


which the German generals say to the British generals, "In other cases, either we would...or..."
If it wasn't for war, they would become friends, German generals go to Paris for sightseeing and coffee, British soldiers The generals will also go to Germany, but they happen to meet on the battlefield, representing two different countries, two positions, two opposites. They cannot be friendly and peaceful, and they cannot turn their backs on the country and stop the war. As the British bishop preached, "This battlefield is not a crusade, a holy war, a battle to save the world. The German army, no matter what words, deeds or thoughts, are not of our race..." No matter how much the soldiers want peace , want to stop the war, want to be reunited with their families, but the responsibilities entrusted to them by the state do not allow them to do so. The truce on Christmas Eve was just a flash in the pan. After the matter was known by the superiors, he could only be punished and sent to another place to continue the war. As long as the war is not over for a moment, it will be incompatible with the enemy! Those who show friendship with the "enemy" are treasonous! Even a cat was charged with "treason". It is very ironic that the British soldier who pretended to be German in order to help a German friend was severely intimidated by the British major to kill the British soldier. The British soldier who pretended to be the German army became cannon fodder like this, and I really felt that he was too sad. Who says there are no friends on the battlefield? It's your fault that you're pretending to be the Germans.
War is cruel, and the peaceful truce on Christmas Eve expressed people's desire for peace, but this truce was only short-lived.

    Diane Kruger is a bit redundant and less realistic, but still a good movie.

    ⒈ A sad and happy Christmas! ?⒉ is "Merry Christmas" and "Merry Christmas on the Battlefield", but the perception is not as strong as the latter. ⒊ Last year, I watched "The Legend of Christmas" when I didn't have enough time for Christmas and postponed it until this year. ⒋The older brother excitedly told his younger brother that when the war broke out, the expression of joy on his face was fearless? ?⒌Singing on the battlefield accompanied by bagpipes...→Favorite passage. ?

Joyeux Noel quotes

  • Ponchel: [watching Horstmayer and Gordon shake hands] A summit meeting, and we're not even invited.

  • Horstmayer: I heard last night about your wife. If you like, I can get a letter through to her.

    Lieutenant Audebert: Why would you do that? If you got caught...

    Horstmayer: [scoffs] One letter won't stop us winning the war. And anyhow, when we'll have taken Paris and it's over, you can invite us for a drink in Rue Vavin.

    Lieutenant Audebert: You don't have to invade Paris to drop round for a drink.
