not yetwith an adult, or to talk about afteralonethe sweet spot

Alone from 10; from 9, with an adult or by talking about it afterwards.

The sweet spot: around 10-11, when you know who occupied France in 1940, and can laugh at soldiers who are afraid. Why a sweet spot?

In France, zinema would say 8.

What it's about

The second part of the Seventh Company adventures.

Why 10

Rifles, bombardments, but for laughsShouting German soldiers, gunfire, explosions, a tow truck blown up by a mine: the whole war is there, but filmed as a farce, nobody dies on screen and the heroes are mostly afraid of being caught.
shown
Escaping prisoners, shoutingThe three companions pass through a column of prisoners and escape in a German truck; chases, shouting, a pilot to rescue. No wound shown, a few tears.
shown
Wine, cigarettes and a few swear wordsThe three companions drink and smoke constantly, eight swear words in all, a "useless" and some barracks taunts.

What the movie brings

A classic of French comedy that children understand: three clumsy men smarter than the powerful.
A first picture of the 1940 collapse, without the fear.
Lines that parents know by heart, to share.

Watching it together

Before

Say who the Germans are and why the soldiers hide; children laugh at the situations, not at the war.

After

at 10 and up

The three soldiers are afraid all the time and get by anyway: does being afraid stop you from being brave?
