Joyeux Noel is a film by Christian Carion depicting true stories of German, French and Scottish soldiers during the Christmas of World War I. This war was set in France.
Joyeux Noel is a French phrase meaning Merry Christmas.
I never really liked movies about war, Pearl Harbor and Black Hawk Down for instance. Before watching the film, I had no clue that the movie is about the World War I. First, I don't know what Joyeux Noel means. And second, when I looked for an online translator, I found out it means Merry Christmas. SO there, I watched it and I expected I would be bored like when I was watching other war films.
I was confused at the beginning who the Germans and the French are. Thanks to their caps, I know who the Scottish soldiers are. Anyway, as I continued watching, I understood the movie more. However, when the couple (Sprink and Anna), were singing for the crown prince in private, I thought I was wrong again in distinguishing the Germans from the others. They were pronouncing 'r' very clearly. I thought Germans don't pronounce it markedly.
All in all, honestly, it's the best war film I've ever watched. It's profound and unexpectedly moving. And the film's not only all about war, it's about human goodwill that despite what they're fighting for (although in the film, some were merely forced to join the battalion), they still had the self-possession of laying down their arms. It is a true occurrence about an unbelievable time for peace in the utmost violence of war.
I recommend you all to watch this film. I'm telling you, this is a film of violence, with HEART. ♥
