Joyeux Noël - Merry Christmas on the 24th and 25th of december 1914.

Yesterday morning just after I woke up I turned the TV and whilst watching it said about a film that would appear later on in the day about the Christmas truce in 1914. Now when I heard I was a litle sceptic, I thought it might be a bit of a boring film out of touch with its audience glorifying the first wirld war and so I was pleasently surprised when it came on for it was the opposite of what I imagined. It was a beuatiful, thought-proviking mesmorisng film and I would really recommend it to anybody. I'm going to take a quote from a comment on youtube about the film because it is basically what I want so say but can;t find the words for.

Dieser Film zeigt Menschheit im Gesicht des Krieges. Sogar im Ersten Weltkrieg, existiert Waffenstillstand. Ce film fait vouloir vous pleurer plus qu'une fois. Ayant été un re-enactor et l'artiste longtemps, les émotions associées avec ceci est juste que beaucoup plus puissant parce que vous pouvez relater. I don't think there'll ever be another movie so touching, so simple...this movie is a league of it's own, and there's a lesson to be learned from it.

If you have not seen this film I recommend it to you.
