Those who call Upham a coward are foolish. You can not know how hard it is to look in someone's eyes and kill them until you are in the situation. War isn't a game.
@tommyismydad I am sure I would find that hard to do, unless they are attacking my friends. I could easily kill someone that poses a threat to my family or friends and it is down to upham alone that his friends died
I don't know if it's the bombed out buildings, the hollow-like, echo effect of Piaf's vocals or the message of the song, but the three combined make for a visually striking image.
Wow... "Her lover left her, but she still sees his face wherever she goes." Totally applies to Cobb but in the opposite gender. Nolan genius for inception.
this part with coffee machine made me cry... all he wanted was some coffee with no fighting, and he couldn't get a drop... rest of film, I accept deaths cause it's war film but this... coffee machine and captain made me cry...
After the attack on Caen (he is Canadian), he is sitting in the street with his good friend Tom, a French-Speaking New Brunswicker. They hear this song playing from a belltower across town. My grandfather aimed his rifle at the belltower, knowing the men there were Germans. As he's about to shoot, Tom pushes his rifle down and says "Don't shoot em', I like this song."
@Litterboxer529 I don't know how to tell you this, but a soldier doesn't just put down his gun and listen to a song that he likes, ESPECIALLY in World War II. Your grandpa's life was at risk and he decided to listen to a goddamn song? Either you're kidding around just to tell an interesting story, or your grandpa was lying to you.
@danerogil Interesting viewpoint. There ARE stories out there of soldiers temporarily stopping the killing. I don't believe you've heard the story of the Christmas truce of 1914, also, I've heard stories about Indian soldiers stopping to smoke cigarettes with the Germans. Plus, the story is AFTER the attack at Caen, after the city was taken, the Germans were probably incredibly tired, so I don't think they'd be wanting to fight. I'd love to discuss this with you more.
@Litterboxer529 Alright, fine. Let me explain this to you. A soldier is a soldier. He's not a hairdresser. He's not a McDonalds cook. He's not a ganitor. He's a fucking soldier, fighting for his life, camping in enemy territory, ready to see his fellow soldiers die to save his life, and to give his own for theirs. Do you honestly think a couple of German soldiers, ordered to KILL would toss their guns to have a drink because they just didn't feel like fighting...?
@danerogil You obviously don't understand. The Germans did NOT know that they were there. They were hiding from them. And it's called compassion. You don't seem to understand soldiers all that well. They too have compassion. The fighting in Caen was OVER when this story took place. Germans were surrendering here and there, so who's to say that they hadn't already surrender. You can be a sceptic, who bases his facts only on what he believes and not reason, that's fine. Go ahead.
Soldiers are not only trained to kill, but they're trained with compassion. Who's to say those Germans had lost everything, they had nothing left, they'd lost all of their friends (a lot of Germans fighting at Caen did, so the only option was to give up), so they just decided "Hey, we might as well just sit and listen to music, we've lost everything." What you don't understand is that the Germans were not robots, they too had compassion.
@Litterboxer529 I'd believe it, i've heard some bizarre war stories first hand from guys that fought. The majority of soldiers of ww2 were just normal every blokes and heroes nonetheless, you wouldn't exactly have called them elite killing machines and i'm sure anything that would have taken their thoughts away from the horrors of battle would surely have been welcome.
She speaks about her lover. He leaves and she is desperate. She see him everywhere ( in the sky, the nigth). but it's not a sad song because she was very hopeful, she thinks that in the future, he comes back to her and they will love each others.
I'm sorry if there are grammatical mistake because i'm french and i don't speak english very well.
I love Edith Piaf (thanks to my mother) and i appreciate this movie.
@mava96 However "gay pride" "gay" are english words...english what a whore faggot langage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pouahhh rien que d'écrire quelques mots dans ta langue de pédé pute qui précipite tous les peuples dans le chaos j'ai envie de dégueuler
@TakeMeBackTo1986 the reason we helped the french in ww1 and 2 is to try to pay back the immense debt we owe to france for their aid to us in the revolutionary war, we will never be able to pay back that debt, they saved our lives and paved the way for the formation of our country, no act of gratitude can even begin to pay back our debt to them, we owe them our lives, that beautiful monument to freedom in the new york harbor would not be there if it werent for the french, you owe them, remember.
@WarThug13 sorry that mardochee2009 guy was being a douchebag and got me in a wrong mood. I Know the debt we owe them, but they don't seem to appreciate the help we gave them back 10 fold! Another thing, their aid wasn't ENTIRELY an unselfish and altruistic act. They hated the English and this was a way of getting at them thru aiding us in the revolutionary war, very much as the Russians and Chinese aided the North Vietnamese against the U.S. during the 2nd Indochina War aka "Vietnam War"
When I this part, usually I do, it's for me like bring back memories of a time that I didn't lived. It's like a gold, sweet, tragic and innocent time.
Its a great scene because it does show the "banter" before combat. Thinking about things you want to think about and not something you are conditioned to think about.
Its funny how the soldier commentary towards Uphum exemplifies the sort of male stupidity one would find in such a testosterone injected environment where its basically the mentality of one big locker room. Oh how i miss the emotionally repressed days of high school.
If this wasnt such a cut and dry scene from a teeny bopper teen drama it wouldnt be so god damn tragic.
And of course Upham had to play the insecure yet emotionally connected intelectual that every macho wants to abuse. Genius
@nickdnc2003 Actually if anything it was the opposite i mean the guys are joking around having a good time. They look like they were having their last toast.
@RusselBertrand I strongly agree! However I feel our generation hasnt been tested like theirs were, despite wars in the middle east which are horrific , but in comparison , they had it a hell of a lot tougher in WW1 and WW2. (troops from overseas) My grandads, one was going to be shipped over but the war ended just in time, and my other was a seargent who stormed Juno beach, and was the first man to lead canadian troops past German territory. I ve got the 1944 or 1994 newspaper clipping.
