Tonight at the french tv :a bridge too far
Good actors and beautiful reconstituction of this event of the 2nd World war
A Bridge Too Far est un 1977 épique film de guerre sur la base de 1974 livre du même nom par Cornelius Ryan , adapté par William Goldman . Il a été produit par Joseph E. Levine et Richard P. Levine et réalisé par Richard Attenborough . [ 3 ]
A Bridge Too Far is a 1977 epic war film based on the 1974 book of the same name by Cornelius Ryan, adapted by William Goldman. It was produced by Joseph E. Levine and Richard P. Levine and directed by Richard Attenborough.[3]
The film tells the story of the failure of Operation Market Garden during World War II, the Allied attempt to break through German lines and seize several bridges in the occupied Netherlands, including one at Arnhem, with the main objective of outflanking German defences.
The name for the film comes from an unconfirmed comment attributed to British Lieutenant-General Frederick Browning, deputy commander of the First Allied Airborne Army, who told Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, the operation's architect, before the operation: "I think we may be going a bridge too far."[4]
The ensemble cast includes Dirk Bogarde, Ryan O'Neal, James Caan, Michael Caine, Sean Connery, Edward Fox, Elliott Gould, Anthony Hopkins, Gene Hackman, Hardy Krüger, Laurence Olivier, Robert Redford, Maximilian Schell and Liv Ullmann. The music was scored by John Addison, who had served in the British XXX Corps during Market Garden.

After the so-called " pro Palestinians " demonstrations which took place in Paris last Saturday and which, as often for not saying as always, were a pretext for some to let off steam on everything and anything, the magistrates' court of Paris condemned, in immediate appearance, three men to four month of prison, and ordered against two of them the committal order, that is the immediate confinement.
Four other people will be judged today. The one for "not dispersal in spite of warning" and "death threat on person agent of the public authority", three others for "participation in an armed meeting" and "prohibited carrying of weapons".
There is neither pity nor indulgence which holds, no left wing, no right wing. A demonstrator is a thing, a shitty gangster vandal is an other one.
EDIT :
And frankly, they don't have to complain. There are many places where, in a similar situation, half of them would have got a bullet in the head.
EDIT 2 : France is maybe a shitty country, as they say, but in any case she provides full medical care, for free, at her expenses, on her ground and in her hospitals, to a large part of the families of these little idiots. link

This looks like a neat way to protest
