Summary: No English subtitles for Joyeux Noel with Unbox
Comment: No English subtitles available on this movie through Unbox.
Unless you understand French and German, I wouldn't recommend purchasing this movie through Unbox.
Other reviews stating there are subtitles must be referring to the DVD, and not Unbox.
Unfortunately, this fact is not stated in the product description. I had to wade through Amazon's help section to discover no subtitles are available with Unbox. I also discovered there are no refunds on digital products. Lose-lose. Buyer beware.

Summary: Just great !
Comment: I own this movie and everytime I watch it, I like it even more. Looking at the different "destinies" of german, french and scottish soldiers you will soon find out that they are pretty much alike, only that it is Europe 1914...
Very impressive and touching. Leaving it in the orininal languages makes it so much better!
Highly recommended. Thank you very much for a wonderful movie !

Summary: Magnifique!!!
Comment: As a french woman who had her great-grand father taking part of this war (he fight in Verdun in 1916) and her grand-father in French Resistance during the WWII, I was very moved by this movie. It shows that, despite of horror, we need hope and desesperately look for humanity that exists in all of us. It also proves how stupid and useless war can be.
What I liked in this movie is that it shows that we are all equals : the German (who invaded my country in 1940) are shown in all their humanity. This movie is not about politic, it is about humanity. Because things are never simple : my grand-father who was Resistant during the WWII was saved from death by a German. Without this german man, he would have died.
This movie should inspire the political leaders of the world we live in.

Summary: A different kind of Xmas movie
Comment: I grew up finding unexploded grenades, leftover ammo of various kinds in France. The tranches were all over around the woods I was running around as a kid, and we saw them gradually get filled up by the elements. I was always wondering as a kid, "how did they live in these tranches? for 4 years?!?". This gives us an insight into their lives, the lassitude they felt. They are very human, and they did not any more want to kill each other than any of us. The German officer who turned out to have a French wife was a poignant example of that. Good movie.

Summary: Great
Comment: I seen it and it is not quite what I expected. I saw the middle part when they play the bigpipes and stuff I it was very impressive. Then when I brought the whole movie, the whole thing is a little long and repetitive to me. Still it is a great movie with a whole new idea (I had seen only a few WWI movies before), and in certain scenes it had been spectacular. It certainly worth the money to buy it considering you have great storyline and some nice music to listen to from time to time.
