Hello, it been a long time since I post something ! So today, I want to share my own review of the new movie about french hero's Jean Moulin.
First, I have to clarify I have been with some friends at the "première" of the movie. It was wonderful, and in a completely new cinema !
The movie was amazing, and Gilles Lellouche, the french actor who plays Jean Moulin made him fragile. In our mind, when we heard "heroes" we know some of them suffered, but we don't realise how. It's a thing to read about it, but a movie can really impact us more. And it was the case for me with this movie.
Let me present Jean Moulin, one of our hero.
Jean Moulin was born in Béziers, in 1899, june 20th. His life was simple at the beginning, with a loving family. But I think the most interessing part of his life was during the WW2. His first act of resistance was when nazi tried to make him sign a document. Nazi wants Senegalese Tirailleurs to take the blame for something they didn't do. He refused, and try to take his life with a piece of broken glass he found in his cell. He was saved because of his partner of cell, a Senegalese Tirraleur.
I don't know a lot about his life, but the end is known by every french people. He was torture by Barbie Klaus, and died due to his injuries in the year 1943, july 8th. His ashs are in the Panthéon, in Paris, where are people who impact our coutry in some categories, like war, art, science, religion etc.
The movie was amazing, but now I'm asking myself a question: if I lived during this time, what would I have done?
Thank you for your sacrifice Monsieur Moulin, it's because of courageous men and women like you we keep our country and we are still french.
