Joyeux Noel (Merry Christmas, Film) - Singing Scene

Joyeux Noel





Starring Dian Kruger, Daniel Bruhel. Directed by Christian Carion.
Running Time: 116 mins.
Rated: Rated M.
Joyeux Noel (Merry Christmas) is an international collaboration between France, the UK and Germany, with scenes filmed in Romania. Its setting is World War I, especially Christmas eve and Christmas day, 1914. The bulk of the film is spoken in French (with English sub-titles). The Scottish characters speak English and the Germans, German.

Stories have long been told of how the troops in the trenches, often only four or five metres apart, sometimes fraternised during lulls between bombardments. This story focuses on a French troop, a Scottish troop and a German troop. We are given something of their background, the harking back to the styles and codes of 19th century warfare by the French officers who had little understanding of what fighting in the trenches was like. It was the same with the German officers who enjoyed lavish meals and listened to opera singers while their men were in the bitter cold of the trenches. The Scottish story is somewhat different. Two brothers eagerly join up while their parish priest becomes a chaplain. One of the brothers is killed and the other becomes bitter. The chaplain is a fine man and a compassionate minister.

When husband and wife opera singers visit the German trenches, they hear the Scots playing their bagpipes. The tenor sings Silent Night and the bagpipes then accompany him. The result is that all the troops come out of their dugouts, join in the singing, listen to the soprano sing Ave Maria, exchange food and drink and attend, all together, a midnight service led by the chaplain. The screenplay is very strong in highlighting that this is truly the Christmas message of peace on earth to all people of good will. The German officer is Jewish and explains that this is not part of his religion but that he was very glad to be able to share in it.

The officers call a truce on Christmas Day and the men once again show their common humanity. Some play football, others cards. Addresses are exchanged for meetings after the cessation of hostilities.

Had the film ended with this joyeux noel, this merry Christmas, it might have seemed rather sentimental, even though there are records of this kind of fraternisation happening. (The director has pointed out that photos appeared on the front pages of British newspapers of the time but that the French concealed these happenings.)

To our dismay, the final part of the film presents the official reaction to what the authorities call treason and conduct unbecoming soldiers in war - even ludicrously condemning the cat who moves from trench to trench. The Germans are humiliated by commanding officers and sent to the Russian front. The French would like to execute the men for treason but 200 is too many, so they are transferred to Verdun. The Scots chaplain is visited by his bishop who lectures him on the text that Jesus came not to bring peace but the sword and gives a sermon to the troops on the war being a crusade, on the inhumanity of the Germans and, in the name of superior culture and civilisation, urges the men to kill Germans, all of them.

Director, Christian Clarion, has said that he would like his film to be screened in every country which is involved in war. His humane film, classical in its cinema style, is a wonderful appeal to promoting a culture of peace rather than putting a priority on a crusade of destruction. It appeals to the deepest message of peace from the Judeo-Christian tradition and the Gospel teaching of Jesus.

Goran Bregović - Alkohol



A few centuries ago, there was a saying among central Europeans: “Europe ends at the Pyrenees.” In plain terms, it means that Spain and Portugal, which are located beyond the Pyrenees Mountains, were not part of Europe’s mainstream culture. Iberian culture was just too different, too borderline, because of its incorporation of Middle-Eastern and North African elements –this goes double for Latin America, obviously. Central Europeans established these mountains as a massive fence, like the one some folks are trying to build down south.

Eastern European cultures, also located outside of Europe’s center, have many things in common with Hispanic culture. Goran Bregović is a notorious musical example. His music comes from a place he describes as a “terrible frontier,” where Catholics, Orthodox, Muslims and Jews have coexisted for centuries. He mixes a variety of traditional styles, with electric guitar riffs, a little bit of tango, classical music, and whatever he can get. Bregović became better known after his scores for several award-winning films, including Arizona Dreams, Queen Margot and Underground. He currently tours the world accompanied by his “Weddings and Funerals Orchestra” –they performed in NYC earlier this year.

Goran Bregović re-appropriates folk songs and tunes from his region of the world, revisits his own traditions, and reinvents them. The resulting mix is great. You only need to listen to “Ne Siam Kurve Tuke Siam Prostitutke,” to notice the similarities between the Bosnian Romani singing style, and the Cante Jondo of Spanish Flamenco. By the way, according to my Romani sources, that title can be translated as “We’re Not Whores: We’re Prostitutes.” In case you were wondering. Finally, Goran is an honorary Argentinean. Need I say more? Check out his interpretation of a theme that truly unites almost every culture in the world: “Alkohol.”

José Afonso - Nefretite Não Tinha Papeira




Nefretite Não Tinha Papeira

Nefretite não tinha papeira
Tuthankamon apetite
Já minha avó me dizia
E olha que a sopa arrefece
Já minha avó me dizia
E olha que a sopa arrefece

Nos funerais de antanho
As capicuas gritavam
E às escuras na cozinha
Só as galinhas dormiam
E às escuras na cozinha
Só as galinhas dormiam

Manolo era o rei do fandango
Do fandaguilho picado
Maria se fores ao baile
Leva o casaco castanho
Maria se fores ao baile
Leva o casaco castanho

Nefretite não tinha papeira
Tuthankamon apetite
Já minha avó me dizia
E olha que a sopa arrefece
Já minha avó me dizia
E olha que a sopa arrefece

O rei João era dos tesos
Chamavam-lhe João dos Quintos
Lá na terra brasileira
Vinham quintais de Ouro Preto
Lá na terra brasileira
Vinham quintais de Ouro Preto

Em suma a soma interessava
A quem interessa algum dia
De lingotes e pimentas
Ainda vamos ao fundo
De lingotes e pimentas
Ainda vamos ao fundo

Nefretite não tinha papeira
Tuthankamon apetite
Já minha avó me dizia
E olha que a sopa arrefece
Já minha avó me dizia
E olha que a sopa arrefece

Lá para o reino da Arábia
Havia amêndoas aos centos
Que grande rebaldaria
E a Palestina às escuras
Que grande rebaldaria
E a Palestina às escuras

Os Sheikes israelitas
Já que estou com a mão na massa
Lembram-me os Sheikes das fitas
Que dão porrada a quem passa
Lembram-me os Sheikes das fitas
Que dão porrada a quem passa

Nefretite não tinha papeira
Tuthankamon apetite
Já minha avó me dizia
E olha que a sopa arrefece
Já minha avó me dizia
E olha que a sopa arrefece

The Cinematic Orchestra - 'Entr'acte'




Entr’acte (1924) is René Clair’s Dada-influenced 20-minute short, commissioned for the interval of Francis Picabia’s new ballet, Relâche, in Paris in 1924. The original music for the film was composed by the famous composer Erik Satie, who makes a cameo appearance along side surrealist photographer Man Ray.

Zeca Afonso. Eu, o Povo



Eu, O Povo (letra de Barnabé João/ Música de José Afonso e Fausto)

"Eu, o Povo
Conheço a força da terra que rebenta a granada do grão
Fiz desta força um amigo fiel

O vento sopra com força
A água corre com força
O fogo arde com força

Nos meus braços que vão crescer vou estender panos de vela
Para agarrar o vento e levar a força do vento à produção
As minhas mãos vão crescer até fazerem pás de roda
Para agarrar a força da água e pô-la na produção
Os meus pulmões vão crescer soprando na forja do coração
Para agarrar a força do fogo na produção

Eu, o Povo
Vou aprender a lutar ao lado da Natureza
Vou ser camarada de armas dos quatro elementos

A táctica colonialista é deixar o Povo ao natural
Fazendo do Povo um inimigo da Natureza

Eu, o Povo Moçambicano
Vou conhecer as minhas grandes forças todas."

Walt Disney - Le Prince et le Pauvre (Partie 1)

Scrooge: Charles Dickens' Classic - A Christmas Carol (1935)




Scrooge is a 1935 film directed by Henry Edwards featuring Seymour Hicks as Ebenezer Scrooge, the miser who hates Christmas. It was the first sound version of the Charles Dickens classic A Christmas Carol, not counting a 1928 short subject that now appears to be lost.

Hicks had played the role of Scrooge on the stage many times beginning in 1901, and again in a 1913 British silent film version. The 1935 film differs from all other versions of the story in one significant way - most of the ghosts, including that of Jacob Marley, are not actually shown onscreen, although their voices are heard. Only the Ghost of Christmas Present (Oscar Asche) is actually seen in full figure - the Ghost of Christmas Past is a mere shape with no discernible facial features, Marley's Ghost is seen only briefly as a face on the door knocker, and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come is just an outstretched pointing finger.

Why the film was made this way remains unclear; it is obviously not due to the fact that British filmmakers could not achieve special effects, since we do see Marley's face superimposed on Scrooge's door knocker.

Another aspect making this film different from other versions of the story is that Seymour Hicks plays both the old and young Scrooge, rather straining the credulity of the audience, since by this time, the sixty-four year old actor was visibly too aged to convincingly play a young man.

The story is also severely truncated, even more than in the 1938 MGM film version, although the 1935 version is actually slightly longer. Much time is spent at the beginning of the film - before any of the ghosts appear - setting up the atmosphere of rich and poor London. Scrooge's sister Fan and Fezziwig are completely omitted from this version.

This is the first of only two sound versions in which Tiny Tim is actually seen lying dead. In the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come sequence Bob Cratchit grieves at Tim's bedside. The 1999 Patrick Stewart version also contains this scene.

Maurice Evans appears briefly as a man harassed by Scrooge to pay his debts. Donald Calthrop portrays a Bob Cratchit who bears an uncanny physical resemblance to John Leech's illustrations of the character in the original 1843 edition of the novel.

Two versions of this film exist; each has a differently designed opening credits sequence, and one of the two versions omits the very last scenes.

Title and Registration ~ Death Cab For Cutie








God bless the daylight, the sugary smell of springtime
Remembering when you were mine
In a still suburban town

When every thursday i'd brave those mountain passes
And you'd skip your early classes
And we'd learn how our bodies worked

God damn the black night with all its foul temptations
I've become what i always hated
When i was with you then

We looked like giants in the back of my grey subcompact
Fumbling to make contact
As the others slept inside

And together there
In a shroud of frost, the mountain air
Began to pass through every pane of weathered glass
And i held you closer than anyone would ever guess

Do you remember the JAMC?
And reading aloud from magazines
I don't know about you but i swear on my name they could smell it on me
I've never been too good with secrets
No

And together there
In a shroud of frost, the mountain air
Began to pass through every pane of weathered glass
And i held you closer
