It only makes this scene more powerful, I think, to recall that many of the actors working in this movie were themselves refugees, exiles, and expatriates.
France should investigate its own "dirty and bloody history instead of other nations!! hey listen scum bag sarkooz what i"m saying Armanian genocide big fucking lie come and arrest me.
Have the Germans really changed? Look at how Europe's economy is?? Yeah!! They are the first to put the blame on Greece, Spain, Portugal. There scheme this time to over charge with high interest. They are doing this in hope for countries to sell parts of their country to the Germans in order to get rid of their debts. Very clever....this time they are doing it without a bullet!!
@Kael7777 How dare you say such offending and groundless accusations at this day and age ? Shame on you, ignorant and paranoid fool. Anyone with half a brain knows that Germany has been working twice as much (since the end of WW2) as any other European country to gain their place as the leading economic power in Europe, all by their own efforts ! And they are respected for those. And that's a Frenchwoman telling you this, no less.
@Kentaurosu Bollocks French as bad a Vicci who let Facists take Libertys twice in a 100 years and were meant to forget that? My grandfather fought in North Africa and Italy and it disgusts me to see state of UK and so call EU . Lest we forget brink of oblivion and theyre running show bringing us to brink with A MAD VISION THAT WILL NEVER WORK. Im Scottish not British but id rather be that than European TBH Id rather be dead.
@DelStrainComedy I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are trying to say. My English isn't that good so could you please rewrite all this with some more punctuation and grammar ? I really want to understand your point.
Would be more moving with the Moroccan anthem. Certainly, the Germans were tyrants, and the directors do a great job of having us moved at the French drowning out the Germans, but one tends to forget that *this is not France*. At the time that Germany is doing the horrific holocaust, France is also an occupying tyrant of Morocco and other nations. Largely ignored throughout the wonderful movie Casablanca.
Yea The French are great military geniuses; Indochina, Alergia, WWII, WWI (up till we bailed them out). Yes indeed, people like PattiMcComick, should follow them right along- winners all the way.
@RWSCEM Just one question, France exist since 600 AD, How did they conquered the richest and largest territory of europe (a continent that had the most terrible army of the world like British or german or russian) if they aren't military genius? France had only one failure in its military history, in 1940. and it happened to the british and russian too, luckily for them they had the channel or the winter to protect them, which france hadn't. and by the way france allowed usa to exist...
@RWSCEM and it's right that in its "history" (lol 200 years) , USA had some TERRIBLE continental neighbours like Canadians (ouch!!) and mexicans (arghh!!). The french had continental neighbours such as the British (who conquered the largest empire of the world) Germans, Russians (during the napoleonic era), Dutch, Spanish( who conquered a large part of america), Italians, Austrians, and Arabs for 1500 years, and hold them back... So they have no military lessons to learn from USA I think.
@RWSCEM What the hell do you mean bail them out? Although you did, you should not say it in that harsh way. I will point out that the USA is across an entire OCEAN. France is next door.
@Rostokouban I completely agree. Especially since nobody ever wants to point it out. The English call the French cowards routinely, but they had the English Channel to protect them. It is a whole lot easier to not be invaded when you are an island.
Gott sei Dank hat es in Frankreich die Revolution gegeben.
Deutschland hat sich 1919 vom obrigkeitlichen Staatswesen leider nicht befreien können, der Adel hat seinen durch Unrechtsakte angehäuften Reichtum, seine Titel, seinen Einfluss in der Politik behalten. Es waren ja die Deutschen Fürsten, die in den 1840 Jahren – dem Aufbruch des Liberalismus, eine Folge der französischen Revolution – die freiheitlich Gesinnten haben niederschießen lassen. Daran krankt Deutschland noch heute.
One of the most powerful scenes in film. A beautiful moment that means just as much today as it did then. Whenever you hear fascist jibberish, sing songs of freedom as loud as you can!
Actually, there is a case to be for the French and Indian War (called the Seven Years War in Europe) to be the first "world war" as it was fought across the globe. The Napoleonic Wars certainly qualify as well.
Badbeatout...amazing to hear you say that, and thank you for sharing your thoughts. Not enough Germans tell the world what a horror time it was for everyone, on both sides of the war.
@milolovesmusic Sorry to tell you this but, there weren't 11 world wars...so far only 2. And as a rebuttal to your statement nazi germany was probably the most advanced and powerful army on earth at that time, it was a miracle we won.
@milolovesmusic They did lose, but not "big time" I'm so glad we took Berlin when we did, if we had let the war go on for just one more year the nazis could have vastly improved there rocket and JET FIGHTER technology, it's a good thing we won when we did
If in occupied Ukraine ukrainians sang ukrainian or soviet anthem, they would have been executed immediately. There was a lot of difference between occupied Europe and occupied Ukraine...
Any national anthem that fills you with a sudden urge to go out and gut tyrant invaders is doing its job. The Star Spangled Banner is alright, but La Marseillaise makes Nazis quake in their jackboots.
As any dumbass can tell, more than 3 people saw this video!
And as a German i tell you, that this, for me, is the most powerful, moral and expertedly directed movie scenes of all times!
I just love it!
Why do you YouTube world of warcraft hiphop hooligan generation always think, we regret to have lost the war?
98% of the Germans are really glad we lost it and are thankful for the sacrifice of British, Americans, Russians and (last and least) French which made it possible.
@badbeatout lol I noticed that...I assumed English wasn't your native language or you made a typo. I think the French didn't really do all that much to win the war LOL...and by your standards you are wrong. The French set up what was probably the 2nd best resistance (Poland was number one), but countries like Norway or Denmark (to name a few) weren't as effective as the French. WHATCHU KNOW ABOUT HISTORY??
What i know about history? I hope enough to teach it in university (because that is what i make a living of!). I admire, love and thank "La Resistance" for their efforts. My comment was about the military contribution, that was rather small.
But France, being the first victim of Nazi terror in western Europe, had no chance and made the best of it.But as an University professor teaching history let me express a personal opinion: Churchill and the British people saved the free world!
@badbeatout you dont care that the soviet union suffered 90% of the casualties and most of the fighting , i care little for the communist system ranking it almost and even perhaps in some way worse than nazism but what about the sacrifice of the russian people??
I mentioned and thanked the Russian people. Did you even bother to read my post? And by the way, the Russians had more casualties than any other nation, but not 90%. That is hilarious! The correct figure would be between 30 and 35 %.
And the winning Russians (considering what they went through, it is more or less understandable) acted like real barbarians after they won the war. Unlike the other Allies.
@badbeatout Das ist, warum Sie ein Modell für ganz Europa sind. Ich bewundere Sie, und Sie haben ein schönes Land. And I hope my German is still correct ;) In France we have a big lack of training in foreign languages ^^'
@badbeatout I really liked your comment. I myself want to think that todays Germans are exactly as you describe them. My only objection is that you give credits only to these four large nations for winning the war. We(Greeks) and many other smaller nations fought as well and I believe that should not be forgotten.
PS: Please don't take this as a personal attack from me. This isn't my intention :)
The contribution of the "smaller" countries will never be forgotten! But just mentioning all of them here, would be impossible. Greece, Netherlands, Canada, Australia, Belgium, Poland, etc. Greeks really gave the Germans a hard fight in WWII. If you still have a grandpa or so who fought in that bloody war, give him a kiss and a huge hug from me. And a personal "Thank you" from Germany!
@badbeatout Unfortunately both my grandads who fought at the war are dead now but I am sure they would be more than happy to know of our conversation in a modern medium like youtube :D
Cheers for the peacful times that hopefully will come!
And just for not being totally offtopic this a great video from a great movie.
An interesting note. The producers of the film used a number of extras/actors who had fled Nazi occupied France. During the filming of this scene they were so moved by the singing that their crying was real and kept in for its authenticity.
This is about the most powerful, meaningful and intelligent scenes from any movie ever made. The director was a genius and all the actors were just brilliant. Everytime i see it, i have gooseflesh all over my body. This scene is the essence of what i think, believe in and hope for.
Yes, they are probably Germans indeed, and, most of all, they probably forget that Germany LOST the war in worst possible way, the German Army was totally destroyed, the German Navy sunk, the Luftwaffe destroyed and so were many German cities, Dresden was totally erased and so was Berlin.
how couldn't you?! that was one of the most intense scenes i EVER seen. especially if you keep in mind france WAS occupied at that time and most of the actors who sang it were genuine in their emotions for that anthem and all it stood for.
Just how ignorant can a commenter be (@BuckRogers)... No one could have withstood the Wehrmacht on land at that time... If it weren't for the channel, England would've been gone in weeks... Some countries fell in days. The exception was the Soviet Union, which was aided by it's vastness - allowing them to buy enough time to learn, match tactics, and grind down the nazi scum till they could send them to the hell they belonged.
So let's save the ignorance and enjoy this great movie scene.
This scene gives me chills. The triumph of the human spirit over the forces of tyranny have never been distilled so brilliantly in any film before or since. This was a war worth fighting , and dying for. There are some human endevours that are not open for speculation or argument. Good v. Evil, no question.
Some of you people need a major history lesson and to look into how many Americans & British were killed by the French forces in North Africa in WW II in the allies attempt to kick Nazi's out of North Africa. Sorry but it has be be said.
The Western Task Force landed before daybreak on 8 November 1942, at three points in Morocco: Safi (Operation Blackstone), Fedala (Operation Brushwood the largest landing with 19,000 men), and Mehdiya-Port Lyautey (Operation Goalpost). Because it was hoped that the French would not resist, there were no preliminary bombardments. This proved to be a costly error as French defenses took a toll of American landing forces as they opened fire upon them.
i've seen this movie, and especially this scene, thousands of times... but still, it gets me every time... and still, i'm shocked, i say shocked to find there is gambling in this establisment....
these scene is an inmortal moment in art's history and the impact it was experienced back in the days of the war is possible to be understand today thanks for your video. You have a nice touch for picking scenes it is consider by many as the best in the second black and white generation (considering the non-sounds black and white productions as the first)
A french person calling someone a tyrant!!!Say that in Haiti,Algeria,Morrocco,French Congo,French Polynesia etc......Go fuck yourself and run away or which ever order you prefer!!!
it´s obvious you ain´t french because if you were you´d know that france aknowledge colonisation and slavery contrary to Arabs who enslaved an killed close to 20 millions of africans before the europeans came to africa
@VicenteIbanez2620 Oh and btw get off the internet for a while pick up a book about european expansion in the Congo and read it.In the 1880's the French ran a protectorate puppet state they called the Congo Free State. By the way don't correct people when you in fact are wrong.I never denied that the Moors,the Egygtians and the Morroccan Fez's make enormous amount of money from Slavery but their chief customers were Europeans. So.......Shut up!
Iran, Cuba and Venezuela align to take over Puerto Rico by force. It has to be something -that- crazy to get people in my country to understand what was going on in the world at the time of this movie.
I hope the playing of The Star-Spangled Banner never becomes such a dangerous, political request in my lifetime.
Das hier noch keiner irgendwelche Vorkommnisse aus der Vergangenheit aufgegriffen hat... Respekt!
"Die Wacht am Rhein" war soetwas wie eine inoffizielle Hymne aber eben keine Hymne. Heute kennt das Lied kaum noch jemand. Ein typischer Filmfehler, den die Amerikaner gemacht haben.
@CryptonNite23 Not quite a mistake. The filmmakers actually wanted to use the „Horst-Wessel-Lied‟, but since it was still copyrighted in neutral countries, they had to use a song on which the copyright had expired. „Die Wacht am Rhein‟, though not ideal, did, at least, have an association with the traditional Franco-German enmity which was the principal theme of this particular scene.
Must share with you that my father was a member of the MAQUI and many years later , after WWII he teared every time he heard this magnificient anthem! VIVE LA VRAIS FRANCE!!
Seen this scene more times than I care to admit and it still gives me that feel of "In your faces you tyrants" kind of chills myself. I had to go buy the DVD and I've watched it over and over. My kids think I'm juts of course and because of this clip and watching the movie I learned that first verse of La Marseillaise in French. I, as an American and on a personal level, say what a great National Anthem. Thank you France - the France that means Liberty for all!
this is raw and real cos this film was made during the war, so people had very recent & likely painful memories of Nazi occupation of Europe.. just imagine your homeland being overrun, these factors all add to what I believe is one of the greatest moments in film history....you cannnt find real emotion like that anymore...end of
@danclay530 lol ur comment makes me trembling...wasn't it france who declared war on germany? wasn't it france who collaborated especially in morroco? you make me sick with your superficial opinions based on movie scenes, go get a book! OH I DAMN THESE AMERICANS WHO GET THEIR HISTORY KNOWLEDGE FROM HOLLYWOOD!
@nightwish1000 yes, poor picked on Germany, France just jumped and attacked them for no reason...I bet Poland wish they had of declared war sooner, hmm...and Belguim, and Holland and Denmark...as for as collaborators, you will find those in any country in any time...as well as resistance. But your point is well taken, Hollywood is not the place to learn history. The film is excellent, but we should also remember that it was Allied propaganda, otherwise, it would not have been made at that time
There are Vichy well expect the resistance guy so why are they pretending to be patrotic and pro-french when they were collaboator and tratiors to their nation!
This is like Lavandou in Washington, DC. We love this song. I hope the New World Conspiracy does not find a way to close my favorite French hangout. It is a symbol of Liberty to me. Sometimes my friend Raycurt plays his violin and it is so wonderful I wonder why it is not criminal.
This is another example of where the people rise against the tyrany of opression. We're going to have to do this in the USA soon and keep going! Great scene!
You mean the same French that denied the US overflight rights in order to hit Libya in response to numerous terrorist attacks. Those French? You mean the same French who bailed out of NATO?
@BuckRogers357 Maintenant, faut arrêter quoi, on peut pas être tout blanc ou tout noir. La même pour les États-Unis. L'Homme n'est pas parfait, la preuve, y a bien eu ces deux guerres mondiales.
You mean the French patriots who first surrendered & then sided with the Nazis? You mean the French shore bateries that opened up on US/Allied Ships during the North Africa Invasion in '42. You mean the French Snipers who were shooting at US & Allied troops in the North Africa campaign? Those French?
@BuckRogers357 On parle pas des mêmes français, là! Bien sûr, y en avait qui avaient cédé aux nazisme.. La France a même eu sa période de nazisme.. Mais pendant de ce temps, des milliers de français s'affairaient pour la Résistance. Et c'est grâce à ceux-là que les américains ont pu débarquer. Bien sûr, ce jour-là, des français avaient tirés sur les américains, mais y avait d'autres français qui ont travaillés pour aider les Alliés...
I thought Laszlo was a Czech - how come he is singing the french national anthem?

It is also ironic that they sing about liberty,democracy in occupied morocco that they have invaded before.
But casablanca is a great movie.

An interesting note. The producers of the film used a number of extras/actors who had fled Nazi occupied France. During the filming of this scene they were so moved by the singing that their crying was real and kept in for its authenticity.

This is about the most powerful, meaningful and intelligent scenes from any movie ever made. The director was a genius and all the actors were just brilliant. Everytime i see it, i have gooseflesh all over my body. This scene is the essence of what i think, believe in and hope for.
By the way: I am German.

Yes, they are probably Germans indeed, and, most of all, they probably forget that Germany LOST the war in worst possible way, the German Army was totally destroyed, the German Navy sunk, the Luftwaffe destroyed and so were many German cities, Dresden was totally erased and so was Berlin.

how couldn't you?! that was one of the most intense scenes i EVER seen. especially if you keep in mind france WAS occupied at that time and most of the actors who sang it were genuine in their emotions for that anthem and all it stood for.

Just how ignorant can a commenter be (@BuckRogers)... No one could have withstood the Wehrmacht on land at that time... If it weren't for the channel, England would've been gone in weeks... Some countries fell in days. The exception was the Soviet Union, which was aided by it's vastness - allowing them to buy enough time to learn, match tactics, and grind down the nazi scum till they could send them to the hell they belonged.
So let's save the ignorance and enjoy this great movie scene.

This scene gives me chills. The triumph of the human spirit over the forces of tyranny have never been distilled so brilliantly in any film before or since. This was a war worth fighting , and dying for. There are some human endevours that are not open for speculation or argument. Good v. Evil, no question.

Some of you people need a major history lesson and to look into how many Americans & British were killed by the French forces in North Africa in WW II in the allies attempt to kick Nazi's out of North Africa. Sorry but it has be be said.

Casablanca: Operation Torch 1942
The Western Task Force landed before daybreak on 8 November 1942, at three points in Morocco: Safi (Operation Blackstone), Fedala (Operation Brushwood the largest landing with 19,000 men), and Mehdiya-Port Lyautey (Operation Goalpost). Because it was hoped that the French would not resist, there were no preliminary bombardments. This proved to be a costly error as French defenses took a toll of American landing forces as they opened fire upon them.

@VicenteIbanez2620 Oh and btw get off the internet for a while pick up a book about european expansion in the Congo and read it.In the 1880's the French ran a protectorate puppet state they called the Congo Free State. By the way don't correct people when you in fact are wrong.I never denied that the Moors,the Egygtians and the Morroccan Fez's make enormous amount of money from Slavery but their chief customers were Europeans. So.......Shut up!

Iran, Cuba and Venezuela align to take over Puerto Rico by force. It has to be something -that- crazy to get people in my country to understand what was going on in the world at the time of this movie.
I hope the playing of The Star-Spangled Banner never becomes such a dangerous, political request in my lifetime.

Das hier noch keiner irgendwelche Vorkommnisse aus der Vergangenheit aufgegriffen hat... Respekt!
"Die Wacht am Rhein" war soetwas wie eine inoffizielle Hymne aber eben keine Hymne. Heute kennt das Lied kaum noch jemand. Ein typischer Filmfehler, den die Amerikaner gemacht haben.
CryptonNite23 1 year ago
@CryptonNite23 Not quite a mistake. The filmmakers actually wanted to use the „Horst-Wessel-Lied‟, but since it was still copyrighted in neutral countries, they had to use a song on which the copyright had expired. „Die Wacht am Rhein‟, though not ideal, did, at least, have an association with the traditional Franco-German enmity which was the principal theme of this particular scene.

Seen this scene more times than I care to admit and it still gives me that feel of "In your faces you tyrants" kind of chills myself. I had to go buy the DVD and I've watched it over and over. My kids think I'm juts of course and because of this clip and watching the movie I learned that first verse of La Marseillaise in French. I, as an American and on a personal level, say what a great National Anthem. Thank you France - the France that means Liberty for all!

But your point is well taken, Hollywood is not the place to learn history. The film is excellent, but we should also remember that it was Allied propaganda, otherwise, it would not have been made at that time

@BuckRogers357 On parle pas des mêmes français, là! Bien sûr, y en avait qui avaient cédé aux nazisme.. La France a même eu sa période de nazisme.. Mais pendant de ce temps, des milliers de français s'affairaient pour la Résistance. Et c'est grâce à ceux-là que les américains ont pu débarquer. Bien sûr, ce jour-là, des français avaient tirés sur les américains, mais y avait d'autres français qui ont travaillés pour aider les Alliés...
