This is what you think is absurd and the plot of the movie is still touched by the gestures of German and French communication. When the three generals sit on the battlefield and share the morning coffee, they will toast to each other. I was moved when I wished each other "good luck" in three languages. The sun on Christmas morning shone on different military uniforms. The faces with ragged beards and messed up faces were all living people looking at each other. There are mothers who are waiting to go back to make coffee at 10 o'clock; there are wives who are waiting to go back to share the joy of the birth of their son; there are life waiting to go back and continue.
However, the people who started the war would not understand, nor would they bother to understand this undercurrent of desire for peace and respect for humanity that is surging on the front line. The trilateral forces will eventually end up being transferred to other battlefields. The priest watched the speech of the successor who was instigating the killing, silently took off the cross and turned away; the news that his wife gave birth to a son named Henri was spread because of the help of the Germans, and the French captain burst into tears; the train gradually The line drifted away, but the singing of Germanic accent still came out of the carriage. Until the end of the film.
It is true that the shortcomings of this movie are obvious. When explaining how the three parties came together on Christmas Eve to dissolve their hostility, they were too eager and lacking presentation to appear abrupt, as if all emotions had been reversed by an aria. It was taken nearly a century later, which also made this movie lack a sense of heaviness and cruelty. But this is exactly what the movie wants to express. Once the distorted humanity in the war is released and restored, many warm emotions can also appear on the battlefield.
Diane Kruger's fluent German and excellent performance reminded me of her nationality and identity, and forgave her for being not stunning enough when she played Helen-as a Germanic woman, she was beautiful enough. Although this role is not divided into many dramas, it has a very crucial role. But all my attention was diverted from Daniel's appearance. Yes, that's right, goodbye to the young Alex in Lenin. Three years is enough time for him to grow his beard and put on his military uniform to issue combat orders in German. His face was serious and straight (he was a bit tired at first), he was the first to walk out of the trench and stretched out his hand to hold it, and he was the first to come out to remind the enemy of the bombing of the trench. He wears a coat and boots, and is fluent in German and French. . . . I don't want to be a nympho in such a serious movie, so I can only say that Daniel starred in my mind as the most kind and lovely German officer in history.
I only reject World War II or World War I movies because I don't want to be reminded of how cruel war is. I know it is bloody enough, so I don't want to be forced by Schindler's list to face the history of massive disappearance of lives. In such a long and dark war, I think there should be something else. I believe there should be something else that allows us to breathe, pray, be moved warmly, shake hands with each other bravely, and bless each other sincerely.
"I want to be on the streets of Paris one day, hoping to have a cup of coffee with you as a tourist." The German Jewish officer said goodbye in French.
ps. On the eve of Christmas Eve, only the Germans got the treatment of placing a Christmas tree every 5 meters in the trenches. It seems that their welfare is really better |||
