La Bataille De Gaulle - Part Deux!
I do not wish to spoil the story… One of the great merits of these two films is to bring to light a part of history that is too often overlooked: that is the liberation of the French colonies during the occupation of France.
Any WWII aficionado will enjoy the plot, the action, the suspense and the best thing is, it is all true! Reality is so much better than fiction. Be aware, once you watch the first one, you won’t be able to wait too long to watch the second one…
Kudos for the people who made the films, wow! The writing is based on Julian Jackson’s great book (De Gaulle, a certain idea of France) ; the adaptation and directing are great, the casting just perfect! Two great films!
The photos show the shooting of some scenes in Paris! Someday back in 2023, I was strolling and I saw these scenes of German tanks and burned vehicles I knew right away what kind of film they were shooting. See last picture indicating the movie title…
Vive De Gaulle !
