      Lovely comment. And the reason I watch these wonderful movies, to keep my mind in a better place. This one only twelve years before I was born telling me what it was like for my mother and father, what they wore, the hair styles. the way they spoke to each other. The bravery, courage in the face of the enemy. Excellent.

      I do not think those coming after our generation will have much to say about us: Instagram, TV reality shows, the entitlement society, wokeness, the post-Christian British values, the rapacity that is prevalent in our civilisation has made us narcissistic, callous, anti good, unforgiving, rapacious, ignorant, arrogant, weird, intolerant, liars, unfaithful, brutal, pervert, envious, frivolous, etc.
      Since 2020, everything is being done to turn our world, the old world, upside down. Not that the populations of planet earth asked for a radical change. No, they did not. It's being pushed on them. What is being pushed on them? A dystopian existence.
      That's how we repay the courage of those who fought "for the freedom of the world", we are told, a world we can witness disintegrating before our eyes.

      I am a Jewish Canadian. I didn’t know that I was Jewish until 2004. But I have found that I DID have some Jewish Germans and Jewish English when they were fighting Germany. I Praise God that we won that war as well as the previous one. I had a Great Great Grandfather who flew for the RAF (Royal Air Force)

    • @chachadodds5860
      @chachadodds5860 3 года назад +1

      @@peterblahut5106 That's a wonderful legacy for your family to cherish.
      It isn't so surprising that you were unaware of your Jewish heritage. There were some Jews, that survived the pogroms of the 19th Century, and the Holocaust, who emigrated to other countries, started their lives over, and who out of sheer terror, decided to hide their ancestry, often changing their names, destroying any existing documents that would prove such origins, abandoning the practices of their faith and culture, and even the ownership of Judaica.
      They often made family pacts, to walk away from, and never speak of their ancestry or experiences ever again. In their minds, it was too risky, but that decision left many of their progeny in the dark, not only about their ancestry, but their heritage of faith, as well.
      Often though, there are small clues within the family's daily practices and language, that belie the history. If your family has odd names for everyday objects, that are not recognizable in the English language; if there are family recipes, that were passed down from great-great-grandparents, that still bear non-English names, and no resemblance to American food, or are "From the old country;" if your family has traditions whose origins are not readily explained, these are likely remnants of your heritage.
      Maybe, this is part of your family's history. It's worth looking into, if you haven't already done so. And talk to the oldest, surviving relatives you have; they often know the family secrets that were never spoken of.
      That could set you on a fascinating journey of discovery.
      Shalom.

    Hello Chris Rogers,
    I must join others here in thanking you so much for sharing this movie.
    My Mother - may she rest in peace and Bless her Spirit - managed to survive the horrors that was World War II. She and all my Family on my Mother's side were from East Germany (as far as I know, all have passed away by now and many passed away during the war itself).
    My Great-Grandfather along with many others helped to smuggle Jews out of East Germany by way of the theatres. My Mother was merely a young teenager in those horrible times. When it was obvious what was left of the family had to get out of the country, she somehow got papers for her Mother, my Grandmother - may she rest in peace and Bless her Spirit - and Grandfather, and they escaped East Germany.
    My Mother and her friend were part of the Resistance, and eventually time ran out. They could not stay, so they risked their lives to escape the Wall. Death was a certainty either way, but at least death while escaping made more sense. Most who tried that night were shot and killed. My Mother and one friend managed to get out. Until the day my Mother passed away in 2012, she had shrapnel in her back from those times.
    Although this movie is very much a clean version of the profound horrors and devastation of those times, it is a quite good and well-intentioned film. The actresses did a beautiful job.
    Again, thank you very much for sharing this movie.
    Blessings...
    "Cap'n" Toni with my Coco and Maya Pups and All the Animal-Kids of the lil Haus...
    Pennsylvania, USA....

You might also want to try Deseret Book they are a huge publishing company out of Salt Lake if they don't want to take you they can lead you to the right company that does autobiographies. Thank you for your family sacrifice. People just don't know what it was like these young people just think the world is going to be perfect for them because they shoot they were not taught when we went to war in 2001 what war was about instead they went to shopping malls.

    Did you notice the pair of stove pipes making shadows on the building when police were looking for the flyer, one crooked, one straight? They made sure to include them in the backdrop as the couple were speaking later, and in the correct position! I've never seen a movie with that much attention to detail.

      The SOE yes I have great Respect for .
      But the French resistance was a sick joke at best the various groups spent more time fighting each other than the Germans for control of France after the war was over.
      In fact a large majority collaborated with the Germans to get ride of rival groups.
      And the self Promoted "General Degaulle" He was really a low ranking nobody in the French army who fled like a scared Rabbit to Britain then Bravely hide behind the British skirts whilst making stupid speeches urging the occupied people to sacrifice themselves whilst he like the coward he was did not.

      Sadly the French people were so wrecked after the first world war that they really very rarely stood up and fought against the Germans during the second World War it was aliens in their country Brits Americans disenfranchised Germans polish Etc people with false passports who really were the backbone of the Underground many priests almost all the priests and nuns in France were killed trying to save downed military as well as escaping refugees. The Vichy government was a horrible sick joke. But no worse than the Swiss who turned back refugees at the border even if you got into Switzerland they would literally send you back to whatever border you came across on so you could die after they of course stripped you of all your fortune that you had on you if you had anything left. We like to glorify certain people after the fact there was a lot of false propaganda put out after the war so people would swallow Monty getting his Awards or de Gaulle becoming president when they should have really been cut down at the knees for their actions true history is what's in the books later written by people who were there who didn't care anymore what they wrote because either the years were far enough away the person had died or they honestly did not care had no political reason to care

    "Constance Bennett and Gracie Fields, both were coming to the end of their film careers": The entertainment industry (and the etcetera's) has wasted the talents and lives of far too many people who had so much more to give. I feel.

There are some good contemporary female actors but let’s face it, they have All the assistance of modern film making. The old b&w films are more like a stage play...integrity abounds..no dramatic, over the top sound effects, just acting like there’s no camera...
