People who think "movie reviews" like this are'nt merely thinnly disguised advertisements...sales jobs...to lure gullible dummies into the theatre.
Commercials are paid for advertisements...not hype that is sneaked into a discussion forum. It's a matter of honesty and integrity.
Deceptive practices are a category of criminal behavior long recognized in legal circles. Some inmates in prisons are in there for this sort of dishonest behavior.
No more eggnog for you.
"It's a matter of honesty and integrity."
Are you impugning either my honesty or my integrity here?
Gee, have a drink or something.
This film and its subject matter have been discussed many times before on Free Republic, and it's a very special Christmas story.
Merry Christmas to you Ebeneezer
This particular movie, Joyeoux Noel is special. The topic (opposing sides in WWI, but adhered to a same religion), the time (Christmas), and the context (WoT) makes it very important movie.
It's also noteworthy that postings about movie review, have been a common practise in FR since very long. That's how I knew that Happy Feet was a enviromentalist movie wrapped in cute dancing penguins. Or the Nativity Story is not a wacko liberal Christian movie that tries to 'humanize' St. Mary and St. Joseph.
Merry Christmas!
I am actually watching this film right as we speak. Thought it was wonderful, and wanted to share the link with all of you.
It is available in full at youtube here with English subtitles for the French and German dialogue. You obviously have British dialogue.

I am not sure of the legality of this youtube posting of the movie. I own the dvd, but for some reason never ended up watching it.
For only the pivotal singing moment, you can see it here.

Also Sainsbury put together this add this year to support the British legion (supporting British war veterans and their families):
