As a french woman who had her great-grand father taking part of this war (he fight in Verdun in 1916) and her grand-father in French Resistance during the WWII, I was very moved by this movie. It shows that, despite of horror, we need hope and desesperately look for humanity that exists in all of us. It also proves how stupid and useless war can be.
What I liked in this movie is that it shows that we are all equals : the German (who invaded my country in 1940) are shown in all their humanity. This movie is not about politic, it is about humanity. Because things are never simple : my grand-father who was Resistant during the WWII was saved from death by a German. Without this german man, he would have died.
This movie should inspire the political leaders of the world we live in.

I grew up finding unexploded grenades, leftover ammo of various kinds in France. The tranches were all over around the woods I was running around as a kid, and we saw them gradually get filled up by the elements. I was always wondering as a kid, "how did they live in these tranches? for 4 years?!?". This gives us an insight into their lives, the lassitude they felt. They are very human, and they did not any more want to kill each other than any of us. The German officer who turned out to have a French wife was a poignant example of that. Good movie.

I seen it and it is not quite what I expected. I saw the middle part when they play the bigpipes and stuff I it was very impressive. Then when I brought the whole movie, the whole thing is a little long and repetitive to me. Still it is a great movie with a whole new idea (I had seen only a few WWI movies before), and in certain scenes it had been spectacular. It certainly worth the money to buy it considering you have great storyline and some nice music to listen to from time to time.

An excellent movie and a very moving story of what could happen should enemies stop shooting for a moment and start seeing each other as fellow human beings. Given the human race is what it is, the message of this film, so beautifully conveyed, will remain valid till the end of time.

I love this movie. I think all played their parts well but particularly Gary Lewis as the priest. You can see the pain in his eyes. I am very interested in WW1 and this movie certainly shows the plight of the poor soldier in the trenches. Almost 100 years later and Man has not learned that war is not the answer. To all who brought this movie to the screen I salute you.
