Et le ciel s'assombrit

Do you think God has dropped a pencil?

Yes I think so.

Do you think it will last a long time?

Perhaps. I don't know.

Are we going to heaven?

Yes, we all are.

Is Jesus then waiting for us?

Yes, he is. I'm sure he is.

A Danish historical depiction of an accident during the bombing from the Rapid Air Force against the Gustapo police office in Denmark.

That's really all you need to know. The synopsis really spoiled this movie, as what the synopsis describes took away the shell-shock factor that could make this movie a lot more impactful.

Starting off I had the day that the first half was too long and included couple scenes that I don't think did anything to the story. They created some side-plots that didn't go anywhere.

Still, when the shock hit it was brutal and tragic. The chaos was fairly well-done. Man that last shot of this movie delivered a monumental impact that spoke volumes to the side-effects of war. Stories like this usually got thrown under the bus, but collateral damage from war and bombing is very serious.

Doubting God is a common theme in movies about tragedies. However, this movie brought up a thought process that showed how God might be distracted. It was an eye-opening thought that I never heard off, and it made me wonder.

Overall, it's a solid retelling of a tragic event. 7.5-8/10.

Hopefully not in the World War (3) sense, but just in the sense of Ukraine being invaded by Russia. And the bombing of facilities and houses that are not quite necessary. A meanigless war and a lot of grieving and hurt people left ... more so every day it goes on.

The movie is about a certain event during World War 2. It is quite comprised - and it really works quite well. Acting wise and how tight it is told. Effects are good and the movie will draw you in - really good actors and script to boast. Not easy to watch because of the subject matter, but those who really let themselves invest in it ... will not regret it.

Covering the WWII RAF raid 'Operation Carthage' Some harrowing scenes that added to the realism. And good acting from the children involved.

Apart from the necessary sub plot it's pretty much true to the actual train of events and well worth a viewing. Brings home the horrors of collateral damage in wars.

I thought this film was going to be a slow burn, but I was completely wrong. From story line to the acting, everything about this movie blew me away. Such a tragic tale and the producers, directors, cast, made u feel like u were in the middle of it all. It's a heartbreaking, true story and you'll realize how much the innocent suffer during times of war. Don't miss this one!!

I've never really understood the term friendly fire, it's a term used in the war time when a Allied troops or planes accidentally kills or Injures troops or civilians of an allied country. There really is nothing friendly about this especially when it came to the 86 children killed during the bombing raid on the Copenhagen Gestapo offices in 1945. You can't help but feel this was something that should never have happened with experienced crew as the war reached its conclusion, especially as it was a daytime raid.

I was aware of the story but as it brought to life in this heartbreaking film really brings home the true pointlessness of war. Have we learnt from this? I write this piece whilst the current war is taking place in the Ukraine and hundreds of civilians are being murdered by Russian cruise missiles. This mission whilst achieving its main objective of destroying the Gestapo headquarters the deaths of those innocent children make it one of the lowest points in the history of the RAF.
