The flaw in their short-term plan was to put out a middling film.

No. Have you?

Have you seen the film, other than the clips you post here and there?

xD

Exactly. Compounded by the puzzlement, “there was a Black dude in that series?”

Cole (Judah Lewis), a shy pre-teen

Well, the reality is that the Resistance represented 1% (until August 1944 when it shot to 99%...), active collaborationists roughly the same number, and the rest of the population were simply human, i.e., they were simply waiting to see who would win.

I’m far less positive than you about that. France was, for the most part, an actively collaborationist country from 1940 to 1944. That it is considered a victor of the war is... arguable. That, on that basis, it is a permanent member of the UN Security Council is laughable. (That there are permanent, veto-wielding…

Also they use M1919 machine guns in 1917.

And I’m 100% French. And I still loathe 99% of them. But white flag jokes and the like I don’t find that funny. YMMV!

What repartee! I’m humbled.

It wasn’t indeed - I’ll still have to admit I really liked it. Not Fargo-liked it, but liked it loads still :-)

Saw it Thursday. A must-see it definitely is not.

But isn’t that the case with any film featuring McDormand?

That said, what Suleiman does once every decade or so isn’t so easily replicated

Don’t forget Lawrence of Arabia :-)

75% of Americans believe in God, under 50% of French do. So the bigoted one may not be who you think.

Don’t worry, I do get bugged at times by inaccuracies. Maybe The Favourite got a pass from me because I so thoroughly enjoyed it :-)

That gray looks suspiciously clear to me!

They also tried cheery genocide but mislabeled it “cherry” and nobody what that.
