Critique of Joyeux Noel
Written and Directed by Christian Carion
Joyeux Noel is a French film about World War I during December of 1914. The trenches consisted of three armies, the French, the Scottish, and the German. On Christmas Eve of 1914, there had been a spontaneous ceasefire— the troops on both sides had abdicated their weapon for the night to observe the birth of the savior, whose name they were killing for each other. The Christmas Eve truce was led on by a German and Danish opera singer that were singing along to the Christmas tunes produced from the bagpipes. The soldiers had gotten out of their trenches and walked across “No Man’s Land” to congregate with the adversaries. Soldiers conversed about their backgrounds, showed photographs of their beautiful wives back at home, and shared recognized delicacies and liquor they had brought to war. However, the fraternization among the enemies had been ended once the word got to the superiors. After Christmas was over, the lieutenants did not want the spontaneity of the fraternization to get to the public, and the troops continued to fight in the war.
The battlefield of the tripartite, the French, the Scottish, and the German, in the film begins during the day on Christmas Eve. The trench warfare in the First World War was unlike any other war before, or even after. The armies were close at hand and the strategy of the commanders was to run across No Man’s Land and the results would be shot to death. The efficacy of the commander’s attacks were primitive during the beginning stages of war. The artillery bombardments blew up the trenches and the soldiers had complained often about digging them out again. The German military strategy is aggressive and their firearms, including aerial attack calls, are deleterious, completely wiping out their opponents. Meanwhile, the Scottish and French are underprepared, lacking equipment, training, and soldiers
