The ending of the film is particularly touching. The German troops, who were replaced because they spent Christmas in a friendly and peaceful manner with the enemy, were sitting in a stuffy tin wagon. Suddenly the door opened. All the officers and soldiers stood up. It was obvious that high-ranking officers came in - although depressed and depressed - but Did not forget the discipline. Waiting for them is the harsh Russian front.
Daniel Bruch's slightly childish face (perhaps I was too impressed by his performance in Lenin's goodbye) now has a big beard, and bowed his head painfully after being severely reprimanded by the superior officer. At this moment, what his eyes revealed was the helplessness, humiliation and humiliation of a company-level officer of the combat unit who had experienced the baptism of blood and rain to those high-ranking officers who were sitting behind and yelling for command. despair.
The soldiers hummed I'm dreaming of home, a very beautiful Christmas song, which was especially touching in this sad environment.
The train moved slowly, carrying them to a more cruel battlefield.
This film is an anti-war film that transcends all cultures, races and ideologies.

    Beautiful, sentimental, longing for peace

    All lives are valuable, and we should not distinguish between good and evil. But when war becomes a game of superiors, ordinary soldiers can only keep "happy" and peaceful on Christmas Eve. When reality destroys the ideas implanted in childhood, peace has to be the price of life. "All people must love, the sky is the same, the earth is the same." Love and gratitude let the war go away!

Joyeux Noel quotes

  • 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.

  • Gordon: We were talking about a cease fire, for Christmas Eve. What do you think? The outcome of this war wont be decided tonight. I don't think anyone would criticize us for laying down our riffles on Christmas Eve.
