   Does 'Joyeux Noel' have a holiday theme?

   • The holiday-in-March theme is out of whack in the World War I tale “Joyeux Noel,” or “Merry Christmas,” which opens a couple of months too late for yuletide. But the film’s depictions of the absurdity of war and the humanizing bond that comes with a simple hello and handshake among enemies are always in season.

   Is Joyeux Noel a good Christmas movie?

   • by Sharon Gallagher - Joyeux Noel, an Oscar nominee for best foreign film in 2006, is something I highly recommend for Christmas viewing. Based on the true story of an impromptu WWI truce, this film deserves to become a Christmas classic, along with the well-loved parables of redemption, A Christmas Carol and It’s a Wonderful Life.

   How does 'Joyeux Noel' end?

   • Though it is early in the war, with millions more deaths to come, “Joyeux Noel” ends with a wistful, melancholy, perverse sense of hope that despite the best efforts of the generals to stoke the troops, the men in the trenches have had their blinders removed and now see the conflict for the sham it is.

   For Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in 1914, enemies ceased their hostilities and acted toward each other as comrades trapped in the midst of the ultimate, tragic absurdity. This story, based on true events, is what Joyeux Noel relates. When it comes to war films, World War I is underrepresented.

    Dec 19, 2020 · Some reviewers have described this movie as a “triumph of the human spirit.” But the human spirit is fallen and tends naturally to revert to an extreme and often violent tribalism – we read about it every day.
