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).

[@j-ch8787]

​@@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...

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.

[@charlottevairet3453]

​@@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.

[@leiyang477]

@@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.

I am 20 years old now. The first time i watched this movie was maybe in 2020 when i was 16 during the pandemic without any english subttitles. Even though i couldn't understand, the eyes and expression of these actors were more than enough to make a deep effect in my heart. I still from time to time comeback to this movie. The beauty and purity of the love between Jeanne and Werner would be much more even if there were any dialogues between them. A gem of a movie. I am glad that i came across it. Indeed the silence of the sea is calming. Lucky are those who have experienced such love in their lives and in my generation it is no where to be seen.

To all the kind hearted people here,,, --- at age 29,,, I believe sex is everything. And there is nothing called love. I have been in one sided love earlier,, then due to my friends encouragement I went to a call girl one time,,, then it became my habit, and I still use to goto call girls. One thing I want to say is after having sex, I don't think of girls,love, marriage for few days,,-- but after 10-15 days,, I again start to get looking for girls,, and then again I go to a call girl - have sex and again forget about girls for few days. I am in this cycle since 5 years. It is not that I don't want girl's presence in my life,, I really want them,, but somehow everyone has rejected me,, so I have came to a point - where I have stopped looking for girls,, I just avoid them,,, I meet call girls two times every month. I don't know where iam going and how my future will be !!

The best and worst feeling. A masterpiece truly !

[@leiyang477]

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.

@@barbaradigman2228 Jeanne's rude hostility makes it hard to be sympathetic to her. The hidden irony is, Werner obviously represents the War (with his uniform and such), but he also represents love since he persisted in trying to engage with the hosts. It is in their home that he find space to show his humanity, his respect for them, his admiration for their culture. One can say, Werner never gave up building connection with Jeanne and her grandfather, he was an enemy soldier outwardly, but in that house, he was trying to bridge the schism every chance he got.......a heart warming paradox, and we love and admire him for it.

​​@@leiyang477I'd like to see your country and your house occupied by foreign forces and you being welcoming and friendly to them. (In fact, those who were, were called "collaborators" and they were hated.) Besides, even Werner says in a couple of places that he admires their stance. He says that he admires those who love their country and at the end he says that their dedication to their duty is the only thing he can do.

@@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.

Such a good development of the characters! This is pure romanticism,artful scenery, camera focus on eyes that speak without words. Beautiful faces, beautiful souls yearning for love in a cruel social situation. Shed a lot of tears, you romantic people ! Cry about the circumstance of this man and woman .

[@tonmarinaxxzz]

Darcybeth. Thank you for making available this beautiful story. I have watched four times and am completely enthralled by this story and will watch many times more. Who could think a 90 year old woman would be so touched by a love story. Even in times of war there are moments of beauty and possibilities. I never watch romances but this was unlike those syrupy smaltzy ones that women seem to like. It was pure love, respect and admiration for the other that was stifled by being foes through no fault of their own. . I am sure Werner was killed at the Russian Front. Since Jeanne took the place of her friends in the resistance it is probable that she may have faced the firing squad. The acting, directing, script writing and all it took to make this film was first class. I know I am rambling on but there is so much to be said for this magnificent piece of work.

[@H_Romero24]

[@LuckminiRanaweeraParis]

I have watched this movie more than 5 times.because this is the best romantic movie i have ever seen. in the beginning she hated him so much.but in the end her heart was won by him. love can feel any unexpected time for any person even an enemy. There wasn' t any sexual relataionship even a little touch.but both of them has fell in love unconditionally. specially Vaner is a very decent and he knows well how to respect them although he is a Nazi officer . That is the reason she fell in love with him. what a beautiful love it is .. She changed her hairstyle to get the attention of him. she kissed his shawl possionately. she hugged his pillow. bez there wasn't any way to cuddle him.after hearing his foot-step suddenly she ran into her room and but she was near the door. at that moment if Verner talked to her he could have captured her.but he could control his feeling, love and lust for her. bez if he did it, her life could be miserable because of him.that is the real love. if we love some one truly we always try to keep them happily. what a pure love it is ..! she didn't talk any word with him till he left . but their eyes and gestures talked thousands and thousand words silently. some time that silent can make more deep and powerful feeling than words. after watching this movie , i thought i could be Jenny at least just one minitue.bez i never had such a beautiful love story in my life.

[@1949mire]

I have been watching this movie several times, and I came to the conclusion that something special happened between the French girl Jeanne , and Germain officer captain Werner Von Ebrenach. Both won't never, ever forget that short episode that occured in their lives during WW2 . No matter what happens next, they will remain in each other 's heart for ever. Although, no word was spoken, they said a lot to each other in their own way. That's why 'Le Silence de la Mer' is so exaordinary, and unforgettable. In a way, it could as well be a dramatic Shakespearian tragedy.

[@leiyang477]

The two characters serve as ushers for us the audience, they open the portal of LOVE, the fact there were no words spoken, no touching, no declaration of affection, make them both the purest to serve this purpose, to usher us to the vibration of love. IT is all feelings, and feelings is the most powerful, we have kinda, forgot that.....when they broadcast this feeling, our hearts resonate immediately....

[@1949mire]

In fact, it was love at first sight. The moment, he stood on the threshold , listening to her beautifully piano playing Bach's famous Prelude. Indeed, they didn't have to say a word, because, everything was already said at this very moment.

He won't live long to remember because going to the Eastern Front in winter was a death sentence. Please watch some of the documentaries about WWII in Russia.

He surely was killed on the eastern front....virtually no German (or Russian) survived that slaughterhouse. She probably was killed during the Allied landings or ensuing battles to retake France. There were very high civilian casualties on the French coast.
