 Great Movie! Nov 17, 2009
A very historically accurate, heart- warming movie! It helps you get the feel of what it is like on both sides of a terrible conflict that was in it`s early stages. It helps to remind us of the things that we have in common with each other and how people on both sides could identify and learn to put aside thier differences and focus on what really matters...even in the midst of war. Soldiers more often than not,can identify more with each other than the powers that sent them to fight against each other. With soldiers patriotism was never the question...We always forget too easily the price that is paid for our freedom. If it were not for the sex scene, I would show this movie anywhere.
Affirming the best in our universal humanity Nov 08, 2009
What soldiers are asked to endure during war breaks my heart more and more. I am so very tired of war and war mongering.
My father was called back in the Korean War and went so that his son would not have to take care of unfinished business.
What a horrible waste war is! What beautiful film this is not only in how it is artistically crafted but in the message it brings to life! We are so much more alike than different. We could build such glorious civilizations and monuments to human genius if we would only decide that every human life is precious and deserves to be preserved and nourished. To accomplish that we would all have to look at each other one on one - no nationality dividing us, no religion, no race, no ethnicity. All members on one race - the human race.
How stupid can men and their wartime bureaucracies be?
A cat really was charged with treason, and it was shot to death!
The officers allowing this truce and fraternization truly deserve the epithet "officers and gentlemen". Personal honor meant something more then, I think.
Beautiful picture - stirring and lasting message to all. Thank you very much for this marvelous film. Please do watch it!
Excellent introduction to World War One themes Jun 02, 2009
This was the first film in which I saw Daniel Bruhl and Guillaume Canet, and this is also one of the first films (though not the very first) that introduced me to European cinema. While it is sentimental, it benefits from a good script, great cast, and stunning cinematography. While not as hard-hitting as "A Very Long Engagement" or "Behind the Lines", the point to the whole thing is the very unexpected friendships that can grow between two sides during the fighting. It is a film that demonstrates the emotional impact war has on those who fight it, without driving that point home with a sledgehammer. I really enjoyed this film, and it did push me into a greater interest in World War One. While emotionally significant, the film does not make you crave an insulin shot afterwards. I must say this is one of my absolute favorite films, and I have already watched it many, many times .

Tragically moving. Apr 03, 2009
The true story of the trench warfare's horror and death is broken by the most amazing power of the Christmas truce. How tragic that it was brief.
A deeply moving film.
