Plot Summary

Genres: War, Drama
Tagline: France 1914. A moment of humanity that made history.
Plot Outline On Christmas Eve during world War I, the Germans, French, and Scottish are trying to make peace, so they bury their dead and play football.
Plot Synopsis: In 1914, World War I, the bloodiest war ever at that time in human history, was well under way. However on Christmas Eve, numerous sections of the Western Front called an informal, and unauthorized, truce where the various front-line soldiers of the conflict peacefully met each other in No Man's Land to share a precious pause in the carnage with a fleeting brotherhood. This film dramatizes one such section as the French, British and German sides partake in the unique event, even though they are aware that their superiors will not tolerate its occurrence.

Actors: Diane Kruger, Benno Fürmann, Guillaume Canet, Dany Boon, Gary Lewis
Directors: Christian Carion

I just watched it. This was a really good movie, if you don’t mind subtitles. Based on a true story during WWI.

Wikipedia has a good article regarding the Christmas truce:

I'm not as down with WWI movies as I am on WWII movies.
