Joyeux Noel: Difference between revisions

 

{{tropelist}}

* [[Badass Preacher]]: While he was as a stretcher bearer and not a soldier...the priest was undeniably Badass. He went into no man's land ''twice'' to save someone's life without a thought.

** [[Truth in Television]]: Stretcher bearers often were the most badass men of the unit and often suffered the highest casulties because their job was to take injured men out of battle to the back line for treatment. While it was illegal to intentionally fire on them they carried no weapons and were often victims of artillery fire.

* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: {{spoiler|Every unit is reprimanded for their fraternization and are all split up to fight in new areas, but the Germans singing in the train at the and proves that they will never forget the humanity they showed their enemies.}}

* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: The Clock, the French Lieutenant's sketchbook, & the song the Scots taught the Germans.

* [[Cute Kitten]]: The Germans and the French use a cat to send messages back and fourth across the lines.

* [[Foreshadowing]]: Johnathan's frequent [[Traitor Shot|Traitor Shots]] and [[Sanity Slippage]] shots {{spoiler|make it all the more logical that he's the one who guns down the French Lieutenant's orderly.}}

* [[Friendly Enemy]] / [[Go-Karting with Bowser]]: Sort of the whole point.

* [[Got Volunteered]]: Sprink mentions this specifically but most of the other soldiers as well.

* [[Heel Realization]]: The French Lieutenant when he tells his father "I feel closer to these 'monsters' than ''any'' man who says ''death to krauts!" over a stuffed turkey."
