oh you should see the guys in school trying to pronounce an english word XD

laughs in honhonhon

i'm still waiting to ear an american or an englishman pronouncing french sentences without accent

Always struck me as strange why a movie that is in English needs to have all the French Characters speak with a French accent. We know they are French characters. In reality the would be speaking French, not English with a French accent. I swear that the producers of most movies think that we are that dumb. I don't say that this is a bad movie, but the producers should have watched Paths to Glory made by a master director. All French characters and not a French accent to be found. Imagine Kurt Douglas with a phony French Accent.

Whatever you say, american. Your accent is atrocious too.

@Christoff Starbuck Yes, actually.

@Timmons being shot with arrows It's hard to joign the foreign legion, it's a very good troop.

Yeah, I remember this series - didn't young Indy also take to the air?

i remember seeing this back in the day and was very impressed!

Kid friendly entertainment of the 90'ies.

French soldiers: Fix Baguettes

German soldiers: turn on the gas!

British soldiers : valuables in the bucket

Russian soldiers: "What's a bayonet?"

Americans: Carry the oil

After the fall of Liege and the frontier forts, the Belgian Army was forced back relentlessly, to the coast and then down along it toward the British lines. Eventually they opened the dikes fronting their sector to prevent the Germans (von Kluck's I Army, the "far right arm" of the Schlieffen Plan) from approaching them. They hung tough until the end of the war.

They gave up their lives to fight off foreigners. And today you hand your nation to them without a fight. Shame on you.

Ieper?

This is about Indiana Jones, the one speaking with an American accent is him.

Belgians are Belgians, stoners from CA are stoners from CA.

He enlisted as a volunteer in the Belgian Army, because in 1916 America was not in the war.

Arthur piantadosi, actually America joined WWI one in 1915 then dropped out of the conflict in 1917 EDIT: this comment is false. At the time of writing it I did not know the actual facts of America's involvement. The truth is that they joined serious diplomatic discussions in 1914 then joined militarily in 1917 effectively sealing the fate of the war in favor of the allies. Were it not for their continued efforts and involvement, the central powers would likely have done enough damage to at least get away with a white peace if not victory. After learning this I only wish that America had joined earlier on as this may have indeed prevented the next war in Europe, and prevented the rise of communism in Russia.

Nah bro, like, other way around and whatever, like, us californians, we're like, actually Belgians. Pretty sick, I know.

Its not that bad. If germans look up on them, french matches the sky

But the Germans were looking down upon them in this case.

You Are right. But somewhere else it was a different case

They wore bright red pants at the beginning of the war, too.

It was going to be covered in mud anyway so I think it hardly matters

Bad pun, but I still liked you comment castle bravo

Comrade

Serbian uniforms from WW1 looked exactly the same

Horatio Jones sounds almost german

Si

Enoch DeMille I saw that but is it THE George Lucas?

kidgo kidgo no it’s the George Lucas from Modesto, California.

Hudson Louie I got it. 👍🏼

So what?

wow, you kids don't miss anything

clone watch those wrist rockets!

Michael Moler There needs to be more WWI movies made.

I thought it was ww2

Benjamin Blake Mitchner when you said "for absolutely nothing better in the future" that is not true soldiers die and fight for us because they don't want bad pepole to hurt us and second look into in the second or first world War if the allies didt fight we would have horrible life would you live under Hitters order he was racist to many people so apparently you want that. the point is the soldiers made a HUGE difference to human life. and if we let hitter attack and do nothing about it life would completely suck

And that is why people really did die for nothing in WWI, however, I will say that they didn't die Entirely for nothing, they did save the freedoms of: France, poland, Belgium, Yugoslavia, Italy, the middle eastern countries, and southeastern European states. such as Romania etc. So it they did die for something after all, but not quite what they intended.

The war to and all wars it was supposed to be... They had no idea the huge crap storm they had caused

"I love soldiers and would never dream of hurting one"- you say that up until the point it's you or him

I am Canadian. Some of my ancestors have lived on this continent for thousands of years. My European immigrant ancestors have been on the soil called Canada for many generations. Both my parents were WWII veterans. But I knew nothing of the enmity between the Belgians and French til today!

The disdain shown here is fictive. I think its an american movie.

90's

In most recent ww1 movies, the trenches seem more like 6-lane motorways....and always spanking brand nieuw....:))

true watched it (belgian myself)

French soldiers were named "Poilus" ("Hairy") - no time to shave.

Yes I'm dirtier than that after 2 hours of construction work

well, they were able to clean their uniformes back then... just as we are today. where's the problem?

@@Xingmey The problem is that trenches on the western front during WW1 was often soaked in rain which turned the trenches into a quagmire of mud and water. Meaning that there would be no way for everyones uniforms to be sparkly clean. Officers maybe found ways to try and keep their uniforms cleaner or have them cleaned more regularly. Just imagine yourself walking around a wet and muddy trench all day long. You are going to get some stains on your clothes no matter what.

@@richhh9000 I hate how people like you state things as if they are facts. Consider this, these soldiers just got on the line therefore have no had chance to get dirty yet (people did clean clothes back then and soldiers were required to). It doesn’t constantly rain in Europe and when the ground has dried out the groundwater level lowers ergo there wouldn’t be any water in the bottom of the trench.

@@archluke6099 Geez man sorry if I sounded like a wiseass, was not my intention. Was simply stating that trenches could often be soaked from rainfall, which would make maintaining clean uniforms problematic. I live in Sweden and it does occasionally rain in Europe dude. I've watched many photos from WW1 trenches and sometimes It's muddy and terrible, other times It's dry and less terrible.

Yep

I believe in you.British being hated in Europe was normal just like how world hate America.being the strongest ancient country was not easy

@@shawnwellington6963 Just as the Anglo-Saxons did not like Francophones. There is an old story between France and England. And then, France has been many times the first power of the world. The break in what we know today was after Napoleon.

@@thibskywalker4450 france also responsible for the america revolution against british monarchy colonization in 1700s

Not true, the Flemings loved the British. I am a Fleming and I know they did. My family fought in the trenches. They loved the British much more then the French. They still do. They really loved them. My grand mother did not like the Germans, neither the French.

It is based in 1916 not 1915.

Carl Hicks Jr. Until today the animosity still exist. Especially since the UE has his office in Brussels and the UE being so much decried .

At one point during the war Albert I wanted to switch sides as well, after all, it makes more sense for Belgium to be on the side of Germany due to cultural and historical reasons, and most Belgian territory was occupied by the Germans anyway. Also: during the Anglo-Boer wars Belgian sympathy lay obviously with the Boers, just as it was in Germany and the Netherlands. This conflict was still fresh on everyone's minds. An assassination by French spies destroyed the secret diplomacy of Albert I with the Germans, BTW.

the Belgians never where never under BEF command, the Belgian army remained the Belgian Army. the Belgains fought alongside the british and french but the Belgian king king did not want to sacrifice any men if he didn't want to and denied almost every request for offensive(and pointless) actions (except the raids from antwerp in 1914 which gave the french some much needed time to prepare for the marne) until 1917-1918. The belgian army was not capable of performing offensive actions until late '15, early 16 since it took on the full might of the german war machine in 1914, they performed way better then anyone including the germans could've dreamed of but they also lost a massive ammount of their men in those first few months. this angered the british and the french so the relations between the belgians and it's allies where strained to say the least, it got so bad that the french and british at a certain point where not called allies but guarenteers (or something in that line).

did not realise that background Belgium/France WW1... Of course, there is an ethnic and language dichotomy in the Belgians..half are not French first language...maybe that did not help?

+SuperJSkyline Perhaps he was an American serving in the Belgian army. After all, the French army had Americans serving in it (Lafayette Escadrille).

+SuperJSkyline Maybe watch the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles before you make a fool of yourself. He is Indiana Jones. He's a 17 year old American. He traveled to Europe and lied about his age and signed up for the Belgian army because the States had not declared war on the Germans yet. He speaks fluent German and French, but since the actor doesnt, they improvise and keep 95% in English. The few scenes where he does have to speak German and French, he does a good job but ofc with a thick american accent, eventhough they claim he's fluent with no hitn of accent in the series :-)

Yeah I know, didn't know this was the Indiana Jones series.

+beersmurff calm down m8. They didnt know because they have never heard of it.

+Ole The Viking Maybe, you should calm down and read what I write. I figure, he doesnt know the series, which still doesnt warrant his flaming it, and then tries to enlighten him. All you do is trying to pour oil on the fire. I think SuperJSkyline was happy that I enlightened him. Maybe even got him hooked to watch the fun series.

Ese silbato era lo último que muchos soldados oían antes de morir, hombres valientes de verdadero

No

the French refer t t as bleu horizon".... horizon blue... sure beats the red "pantalons garances" they wore in 1914!!!!

@Владимир Новиков They were leftover uniforms from an earlier age, when soldiers still fought in big stand-up formations. Military advisors to the European nations had already had a preview of what World War 1 was going to be like in the Russo-Japanese war of 1904-5. That's now mainly remembered for it's naval engagements and the decisive Japanese victory at Tsushima (you can still visit the flagship), but the land battles were a meat grinder.

Of Course

Is, that because they're allies do you think 🙄

Thanks captain obvious

They looked down at the germans for centuries

Well, I suppose it wasn't quite as obscure then as it is now. But WW1 sank into the misty past much more rapidly than has WW2. A lot of once famous events are depicted in the Young Indiana Jones chronicles which I've never seen depicted elsewhere. For instance, it's a bit silly and overdone, but he gets involved in the East African campaign. He also gets involved in the Irish Easter Uprising.

The first battles were like that. The attackers expected that the German troops would mostly be destroyed by the artellary bombardment before the battle but in fact it would have less effect than they expected

Eddie Rickenbacker, the American race car driver, became the driver for a US general behind the lines, but hung out at a nearby French airfield between tasks. He taught himself to fly using obsolescent French trainers and observation aircraft that were sitting around, then got himself seconded to a French squadron for some real air combat experience. He soon founded the "Hat in the Ring" (Liberty) squadron -- Americans flying French-provided Nieuports and eventually SPADs. He was shot down more than once, but ended the war with 15 air-to-air kills, IIRC -- an ace -- and later founded Eastern Airlines!

Officer: So first platoon will go around the garrison on top of the ridge and try to outflank them, as they are doing tha.... Ah yes Private what is it? Me: (me shoving a bayonet up my nose) It has seems that there is a bayonet lodged in my brain, may I be excused to go to the medics tent?

You should be very proud of it. The Belgians, in both world wars, fought like lions, led bravely by their King.

​@@sdporres Damn right. The courage of the Belgian army was something those germans had not counted on. They never managed to conquer all of Belgium during WW1

Limited amount of actors trying to represent a conflict that involved thousands of people.

Australians played a huge part, and suffered high casualties, but it's ingenuous to claim it was all Anzacs. English, Scottish and Irish regiments were decimated, and Indian soldiers also participated. My grandfather was with the RIR, who were thrown into battle straight from the training depot, and cut to pieces by the Turks. It's not a competition to claim which country lost the most men. Every one was some mother's son, and many Anzacs were British immigrants to Australia and New Zealand, doing what they perceived to be their patriotic duty. Petty nationalism is a curse, both then and now.

and fleas and lice.

And infernal bombardments and heart attack inducing sentry duty
