Le Silence de la Mer 2004 with English Subtitles

Very nicely said. Totally agree with you 💯

U're absolutely right !!!! These days .... NO sex on the screen = NO movie !!!! Damn shameful !!!!

OUI !!

Totally agreed. In fact we need more of this type of entertainment pieces in our current daily lives.

I was JUST thinking about this! Wow!

Love your comment.

I'm still crying. Such emotional impact. One could really relate to each character. Superb acting all around. Better than any of the current Hollywood offerings. I actually remained awake for thus one. A hidden gem. Bravissimi.

@@ilonamaskal2272what a wonderful comment! It is heartwarming as a Belgian that you appreciate this Belgian movie!❤❤❤

Anyways At the end of the story they let the audience make their own ending to t. For me, they definitely give themselves a chance to let their feelings show and tell themselves. The flowers in the pot she had put outside the window . There's love that blooms.❤ Nice love story and a good film to watch.

What a superb film! I enjoyed it immensely. I'd like to think after the war maybe he survived and came back for her.. ❤ 💐❤

@@LadyAnna.888that’s exactly what I was thinking.. brilliant movie

Not really the best... Really, really good 😊. Different.

I had to purchase it to keep enjoying the move - but am glad that its on "KZhead"

You’re right, all in little touches and finesses…

Did you know that this film is actually a blend of two short stories by French author Vercors (whose real name was Jean Bruller, a member of the French Resistance): Le Silence de la mer, published clandestinely in 1942, and Ce jour-là (1943).

​@@oliveerg9405i read this book as a teen long ago. My 4 gd-parents fleed from nazie germany in france. Maternal gd parents (switz and tirolian living in germany) fleed in 35... they were progressist and radical minded and... opponants to Adolf H since his aborted coup in München in 24...paternal side they were irish-US living in germany too since 1918 and fleed in north east france in 1939. My gran ma had to accept at her "littl' castle" the chief of german police and his wife. True ignorant and vulgar people ex butcher from Stuttgart. My gr'an ma used to play piano... Mendelsohn and other jewish composers (!) those dumbies applauded at ! And used to read german poetry... But jewish one (!). Until the chief of gestapo (In Metz) invited during an evening party.. Recognised the composers and poets. My gran ma escaped from being sent in eastern camp by a hugh graduate officer of Luftwaffe and aristocrat she knew before the war. Then they all moved to french speaking part of east france in Nancy and shut their mouth until 44. Lucky for my pa' who was born in Köln in 27 and spoke fluently german : his friends at gymnasium in Metz were recruted as "malgré-nous" (= against our will) and sent on russian front. Just a few came back in 45. Life is swinging on a rope... Trying to keep balance in war times. Every minute...

explain the ending im confused, why the plant pot on window

The plant was the sign the resistance used. She joined the resistance.

Does anyone else notice the way he fiddles with his cap? Like he's nervous? This movie is full of small, beautiful details and I love every minute of it.

In their silence they can communicate......

​@@blankspace5185just a signal to warn people around. Entrance wasn't allowed for everybody.

Same here with me. At least 25 times. Forgot about it, now I’m back to watching it.

Make me think about ukrain today... Occupied territories are in same situation again. On both sides... I mean that Civilians are paying high prices becose of silly questions of nationalism. We ll forget when war gonna be over... For a while. It took 3 serious wars in less than a century... before france and germany stopped their fuckin' "hasse" / haine.

Makes you wonder if all the wars were really worth it? Who wanted the wars? Why do splended beings like Werner and Jeanne willingly march to face peril? This movie also raise very profound questions, are we human first? Or we are our nation first? Are we fighting for our nations? Or we are fighting for the entities who create war? How sad that Jeanne and Werner have to forsake their love and die for the war. Jeanne and her grandfather's home give Werner a place to be true to his humanity, as such, he touched Jeanne and her grandfather in the most profound way. This amazing film and its actors, the music manage to lift me up and for a short time i am immersed in the vibration of love. Thank you Thomas Jouannet, Julie Delarme for a transcendent performance. Thank you Bach!

@@leiyang477 You put it so beautifully indeed. Thank you .

​@@leiyang477With such a profound and smart understanding of "Le silence de la mer", you are in the best position to understand that Vercors also wrote a book, "Les Animaux dénaturés", in which he questions what humanity really is, where animality begins, and which, of the so-called human beings and of those designated as "animals", are more worthy of being as examples to follow for who wants to be a decent being.

@@charlottevairet3453 Thanks for the compliment, surely from today's vantage point, that would be a logical question, what sane politician, elected by the people would want to go on a war path that would incinerate a good portion of civilization? Sadly, we have been indoctrinated with Materialism for too long, many have forgotten that there is a spiritual dimension to our human experience, that we are much more than our forms, we are consciousness, spirits, eternal. We are only here inside a body for a blip of time to experience this dimension. What set us apart is this divine spark inside us, and we have free will. But this 3D world we live in is heavily manipulated, it is like a black box theatre, the unseen crew (stage designers, lighting designers, script writers, the director, the customer designer) control the stage on which we play out our stories. The ultimate goal is for us to awaken to the true nature of who we are, that truth is we are divine beings having a human experience. So, this question Jean Bruller explored, have been answered on a different level by many spiritual masters from the past and the present time. We are poised to have a great awakening at the present time. Look up the Dimensional Shift, or Planetary Ascension if you wish to explore this topic. And I do think the 2004 reinterpretation of Le Silence de la Mer has amazing spiritual power, it breaches the veil for some of us and let us merge in the ocean of the LOVE consciousness----the cosmic consciousness.

❤❤❤

It's a Belgian movie.

@@antoinemozart243: Oh, sorry to the Belgians - Je suis désolée. But in the film, Werner admired and praised French literature / authors in such an honourfull sound! Therefore, I just believed the plot takes place in France during II. Ww

@@antoinemozart243 no

❤

in the movies......

Perhaps you will find it irrelevant, but it will show how much our morality etc.has changed. I was on the metro the other day, and two girls were sitting next to me, talking , a heated conversation. The one, was very stressed, asking her friend."It didn't go well last night, there was some blood, and I swore to him that I am not a virgin! It just happened to be the last day of my period ! I told him I am experienced !" O tempora, O mores!"

@@user-ji9jd1gq9z we have descended into darkness...This is why collectively, we suffer from depression, anxiety, unhappiness, because we have lost the senses for love, we don't know what love is anymore. Yet it is everywhere, right here waiting to be tapped in.

@@patquint3291 In the book, he mentions that there was a girl from a neighboring house whom his family deem a good match, they took walks in the forest, and she caught an insect while they lie on the ground resting, she said she would punish the insect for stinging her while pulling its legs out one by one. That cooled his interest in her, he found her cruelty disagreeable. So he is likely not engaged.

Have a look to 2 other master pieces of italian cinema : " malena" with monica belucci... Taviani bros if my memory is fair... "une journée particuliere" / "a day so particular" something like this from Ettore Scola with 2 italiians actors : sophia Loren and Marcelo Mastroïanni. The first is a "must" on same theme about various colors of grey during war times. The 2d is a wonderful confrontation under italian fascism between 2 visions.. 2 "realities" of a typical italian mother and married simple woman... And a gay progressist journalist. (sent to livari islands a concentration camp). Another show on multiple colors of grey during war times.

@@j-ch8787 Many thanks for your friendly recommendations. I'm always glad discovering new excellent movies.

@@wujibifan5938 those 2 are for sure. A last one... Which is one of my best on pre-nazi period.. If yu want to understand how Adolf 's supporters won... Got the power by terrorisying german people early 30ties, is "the egg of snake" by ingmar bergman the swedish movie maker. As my grand parents (on both sides) lived in germany and fleed in france in 35 (my mom' s side) and 39 (dad's one)... Once (i was 27 yo my Oma around 70) ... I proposed my Oma / gran ma to vision this movie. She stood quiet during the movie. Then at the end asked me "who made this movie?"... I told her. Then slowly she said " the best movie I ever saw... on" how they did to get the power"... This guy lived it... Am sure. He was in germany during this period". I said "yes! Ingmar bergman was in berlin learning at the" Uffa mega cinema city" how to make movies... He was a student there. . Then he fleed back in sweden. And spent the war in his motherland where Willy Brandt - the leader of young Spd party yu belonged to yurself and future "prime minister" / kanzler , continued the resistance against Adolf. Yur right he lived this period in germany ! "

It is making its way into many hearts...heavenly and enchanting.

Makes one connects with the LOVE frequency!

This movie is ruining my life. 😭

@@betterbee1304 Can't stop thinking about it and watching it? lol

@@leiyang477 yes 🤣

Soul mates here to experience 'forbidden' love----I hope humanity would stop fighting wars for dark entities.

46:30 yes ,she checked herself in the mirror ( for him !)😊

​@@leiyang477True...dark forces that hate humanity cause conflict for destruction. Political pawns instigate war for ego maniacal power-lusters...leagues of intrigue deeply hidden in concealment move the levers towards imminent battle(s). The folly of mankind has always been pride & manifest those who strive for perpetual aggression of which the reality is large scale death. The song Brothers in Arms by Dire Straights sums up war from the perspective of soldiers. The movie Spy Game shows some the upper echelon involved behind the scenes mechanisms of instigated wars. I thought perhaps with your deep perception you may enjoy them both. 👍

@@kingdomfreedom8323 Thank you for the suggestion, will watch both. The disclosure of the true reality has been trickling into the common collective consciousness...The flooding of it may be around the corner. A good metaphor of our current situation maybe that Humanity is living in a larger "Vichy" state, for thousands of years. Our ruling Elite are the Vichy regime, that rule on behalf of their masters (higher beings who are largely hidden from us, either dimensionally or in consealment), they puppet the Davos crowd to implement their angenda. War is just a periodic "cleansing/thinning" or human population, syphoning of the energy of misery which sustain their life force...very ugly truth indeed.

Remember the feeling when you are not watching it. How the love vibration feels like, so you can stay there for as long as you like.

​@@leiyang477Да, вибрации любви очень сильные! Ощущаешь эти вибрации ещё очень долго после просмотра фильма! Поэтому люди и смотрят этот фильм много раз и не могут насмотреться! Браво режиссёру, актёрам и всем создателям фильма!

After this movie, everything pales. One realize that that talking really get in the way. I just watched "Arletty: A guilty passion" about the French actress Arletty's love affair with a German officer. Going back to the notion of "Talking really get in the way" not for the characters but for us. Talking dilutes the intensity of the feelings. Without talking, the characters invite us into their hearts, and let us feel what they were experiencing. This movie has this spiritual power or energetic signature that no other film has ever gave me. It bolts you into the stratosphere of Love, I mean the vibration of Love---an energetic state, like having a peak experience.

​@@leiyang477❤Спасибо вам, такие красивые слова о любви и фильме.

@@user-dp8kk8ip3v Glad we resonate, you understand what I am saying! Love is universal. We all receive and broadcast it, this film amplifies what is in our hearts. Werner's love for Jeanne is like a beacon.

@@leiyang477 ❤❤❤

Yes it would be a great movie but the arrogance and sometimes Cruelty specially from the girl made the moviegoers from the German parts specially the German he was the best, the girl her arrogance sold the whole movie

Oui😮😊

Also, easy on the eyes, what an interesting story and so exciting to see how their looks achieve more than words.

Les Allemands étaient en général bien élevés et comme nous ils devaient se battre ou être fusillés, la guerre est triste pour tout le monde

@@moniquesilverans3842vous avez raison, le monde n’est pas manichéen mais fait d’un camaïeu de gris qui va du blanc au noir…

His name is Thomas Journnet and isn't so intense in his other movies. He's lovely! ❤ 😳

@@paulad.5875 I think it's called acting. 😊

@@paulad.5875 Thomas Jouannet is Swiss French (born in Geneva in 1970). He has starred in a diverse number of TV movies and series. He is listed as #5 on the list of 40 French actors both alive and deceased. He is still gorgeous at age 53. Married 14 years to a French actress and writer. Father of three children. I absolutely adore him!

@@patquint3291 Me too. He was trained as a comedian funny enough. Comedy is huge in France, 30% of movies are comedy. But Thomas Jouannet's Werner von Ebrennac is INCOMPARABLE. He has created an ideal----can I say an angel in disguise. This Werner is a role model of respect, kindness, chivalry, creativity, openhearted, loving person. All boys and young men should watch this movie and see what a real man is.

''Le silence de la mer' was my favorite book when I was in high school. We were so lucky these books were part of our curriculum. It was in France, a long time ago.

Too many like them, all the time.😢

Funny how war is , they never would have met in peace time or felt so loved , true about the title. ...this is deep

Me too - especially with those eyes that said so much.

Me too, I'd fallen.in.love with.him. such a very well mannered man

@@mariaalano3077 - If I met a man like him I wouldn't have hold back my feelings and made love to this gorgeous man!

I would love to agree with you ... but there is an important point to consider ... Werner would not come back and live right in the centre of the town , where he could be seen and recognized by the locals and by the Germans ... besides I think the geranium was eventually a kind of code among the fellows in the French Resistance ... and that is why her friend and husband were arrested ... 😥

@@suzanailhabarretoviana1863 You could be right. However, I saw the look of caution in Jeane's actions and as the potted geranium was put on the windowsill, I put it on pause several times and it was definitely a man's arm. Though I had watched this movie many times, I lost interest after they said farewell, so when my sister saw it then I became focused on the ending. I guess only the writers would know for sure.

I think he parished in Russia. And yes, the flower pot was a sign of the resistance.

I think Jeanne was joining the French resistance. Werner would never have returned to the center of a French town to live and clearly very little time had passed since his departure for the Russian front.

in the end there are no more German soldiers in the streets and there is enough food the final scene shows it, the flower in the window is not about resistance because the war has already ended

It makes you go much deeper to the place where the high vibe resides.

Just bought the book online. Can't wait to read it!

Seems like you have a lot to say. Sadly, I cannot read Russian( ?). God bless from the USA.

Какие прекрасные комментарии вы сделали, как интересно отметить, что Вернер признает, что Жанна любит его, но колеблется между выбором: любить его и быть верным своему долгу перед своей страной. Это имеет смысл, поскольку после разочарования он сказал: «Возможно, вы были правы, нужно быть верным своему долгу и обязательствам». Он сослался на нее. What beautiful comments you made, how interesting that you notice that Werner recognize that Jeanne loves him but was struggling between the choices of loving him and be true to her duty to her country. It makes sense becasue he did say after his disillusionment that:"Maybe your were right, one should be true to one's duty and commitment." He referred to her.

Lisez la nouvelle de Vercors ! C'est une riche expérience de croiser cette lecture et la présente adaptation, à la fois fidèle et infidèle au récit et ce d'une façon des plus intelligentes.

The soundtrack is the third character, it speaks for Jeanne when she refuses to speak.

Just add subtitles in English before watching, that's what I do... I remember some French... Turn on subtitles! 😊

I bought the DVD about two year ago. I love this movie! Just watched it again a month ago. The original black and white version is very good also but in my opinion doesn’t quite compare to this version. This version took some liberties but that what makes this version great!

I would love to see these two actors in a sequel since the chemistry was so wonderful between them.

❤Очень хочу продолжения! В фильме очень большой потенциал для продолжения! Фильм понравился, его любят и обсуждают миллионы зрителей по всему миру! Всем людям счастья, любви и быть всегда любимыми.

There could never be a sequel. They have both committed suicide, he by chosing to be transferred to the Russian Front, and she by joining the Resistance. They are Romeo and Juliet, their love doomed from the start by the war between their families.

He couldn’t as he was sent to the front line… barely had a chance to survive there.

Let's hope❤

After the war they found each other again

@@gerdagayhart866 really?

Just use your imagination.

No unfortunately, being sent to the Russian front was a death sentence for so many on both sides. While your version would have pleased many it was not meant to be. Two madmen, Hitler and Stalin. Hitler with six million Jews, gypsies and Poles and others he deemed as enemies were slaughtered. But the most evil Stalin, killed Twenty million of those he hated either outright or sending them to Siberia. He particularly targeted the Polish because he wanted their land, but anyone who he hated. Then the evil “Uncle Joe” was appeased by the USA and Great Britain and they betrayed the Polish. War is Hell. But sadder still is all the young men on all sides of the conflict who lost their lives. And the old men lived and started more wars. Amen
