Joyeux Noel

Today is the first of January and I am supposed to write something like "a new beginning" or so. But I was so impressed by the movie that I watched yesterday, that, the story and the scenes have been in my mind throughout the day today.

Christian Carion, the Director, said this in the official webpage (http://www.merrychristmas-themovie.com):

"The intentions - ... In 1993, fate seemed to guided me to a book: Batailles De Flandres et DArtois 1914-1918 by Yves Buffetaut. Inside, I discovered a chapter called The Incredible Cirstmas 1914, where the author writes about the fraternisations between the enemy, the story of the German tenor applauded by French soldiers, the football game, the exchange of letters, the Christmas trees, the visiting of opposing trenches. And I was overawed."

I don't like war at all. But I have to admit that wars could be a very good topic in making movies - like Saving Private Ryan, 憭芣扔���憌���� (Korean movie), and Joyeux Noel.
