Well lads, maybe some of you remember the post i made
there
some months ago.
So, today the movie is achieved and here's the trailer. I provide the translation.
We were 177 French, on this June 6, 1944. Only 177 French to participate on D-day.
We came from the four corners of the country, from overseas and colonies. Among us, Bretons, Alsatians and Normans, French of Tunisia, New Caledonia and moreover. Among us, men who believed in the sky and others who did not believe in it, workers and middle-class persons.
We were 177.
One told me : Do you want to go to the commando squads? I said: What is it, commando squads? I did not know. One told me: It is special units which make missions. I said: All right, I go there.
Many had been sentenced to death by Pétain, because we were deserters of the army and the French navy, hu. Thus a lot of solidarity between us, hu
But we were French, no only by heart, we were French to defend the country, hu
They asked for volunteers to make raids, and it is there that I knew commando squads.
Today, we are not more than a handful, but I remember you, my comrades, so different and nevertheless so similar, all were moved by the same ideal: To overcome nazi Germany and to free the homeland.
We were 177, only 177, next to 150000 Americans, English and Canadians. But this day, we were all France.
This movie was broadcasted last night on French TV. Arhhhh, too late you maybe think...?
Easy, lucky boys, you can watch the full movie here on TV replay.
EDIT: And, of course, this movie is in French. How could we blame it...?

Here's a rarity and even a little pearl. Russian Ark by Alexander Sokurov is an unique case.
850 actors, more than 1000 extra, 96 minutes, 300 years of Russian history and one single Steadicam sequence shot.
Beyond the technical exploit which constitutes this movie, a very nice ballad in the Hermitage Museum and in the history of Russia.
