Colette: The French resistance fighter confronting fascism - Oscars 2021 Short Documentary Winner

Wow. That was tough to watch, but worth it.

I was very moved by this story. I cried my eyes out during the ring scene. Huge emotional impact on various levels:
- Unity between the lady and the girl, their lives were connected by one tragedy
- Unfinished story of Jean-Pierre (unfinished ring) which
- translates to actually continuing the story and potentially closing it thanks to young Lucie
Marvellous <3
Colette didn't cry in front of a stranger. She cried because finally her closed off emotions finally could see the surface and because Lucie is such a warm and sensitive person, Colette could open up to her. It's impossible to forget no matter how hard we try. It will always come out.

really moving. I really hope the young lady is going well.

Very moving -- two strong and beautiful people here, facing the worst and supporting each other through it. The film strongly deserves the Oscar it won.

Did you listen to their demand to get out when you went to Africa and plundered their country ?

Poor granny going through the horrors surpressed for so many years only for us to remembered as well. My late grandma never liked talking about war to me. The only memory she shared was a german soldier giving her a chocolate bar when she was herding cows

that was funny

Mir fehlen die Worte.Und das ist gut so.Eine wunderbare und durch und durch ergreifende historische Geschichte.

Enorme témoignage, qu'il faut conserver et montrer aux plus jeunes: pour que plus jamais cela ne se reproduise, la folie des hommes n'a malheureusement pas de limite !

I’m glad the young girl didn’t try to say anything to make Colette “feel better” when she was crying, she needed to process grief as hard as it was for her, it seems like all those years she’s been avoiding it and trying to make herself forget which wasn’t working at all for her in fact it probably made the pain 10000x worse.

Cried my eyes out

Unfortunately, my French is Rusty and the subtitles, gratefully, are in english, however they are mostly eaten up by the bottom of the screen🥺

love how this was made for a game of all things

WE WON'T FORGET. NEVER.

If you really wanna know how to prevent something like this from happening again, read "Friedrich Hayek: The Road to Serfdom".

Hope a French language feature film wins an Oscar other than The Anderson Platoon

Beautiful. Much love UK.

Raw emotions. Like her, I don't cry much. But, I was almost bawling at the end.

The fact that medal of honor did her legacy well Wow

Medal of honor above and beyond

Je me demande ce que Colette pense de notre époque, où des défenseurs de Pétain comme Macron et Zemmour sont en haut de l'affiche...

Whoa! What an amazing story.

Thanks!

Es una falta de respeto que no esté subtitulada en español

The major's speech made me feel a bit upset too, Collete wasnt ready to forgive not ready to forget the past.

One of the most touching videos I’ve seen in a long time. What a remarkable woman and a beautiful film.
Thank you this was certainly an eye opener and tear jerker 🙏

ala memoir

Don't think anyone watched this with dry eyes at the end. Colette giving Lucie her brother's ring at the end was so touching and emotional for me.

I’m here because I got a free charm on Apex.

APEXから知ったよ、でも見れてない

THANKS APEX LEGENDS

Anyone else here from Apex Legends?

She even says she and her brother weren't close and Collete's mother preferred the son to the daughter, but the daughter is here telling the story.

I think Lucie Fouble (the french student) also deserve a lot of credit for tis piece, i just loved how sympathetic she is...

I'm curious as to what role her parents played in the resistance, and did they survive.

Powerful story, thank you Colette for sharing. Peace be with you.

I had the honor of meeting Colette on an educational trip to Normandy with the National WWII Museum in 2016. I heard her story first hand and there are no words to describe that experience. I’m so grateful to this documentary for capturing her beautiful yet heartbreaking story and sharing it with the world.

Side note: Colette, when you heard me play piano you told me to never stop playing. I still play :)

In our collective memory. Thank you.❣️❣️

C’est tellement horrible. Plus jamais.

C'est détective Conan la petite mdr

J'étais pas prêt pour ça dès le réveil. Magnifique.

Tellement émouvant 🖤 Impossible de ne pas être bouleversé par cette histoire

Plus qu’émouvant , que de vie perdues , gâchées pour la Liberté ; Honneur à tous ces Résistants français
Honte à tous les collabos , délateurs francais
Il y avait 1% de résistants, aujourd’hui combien y en a t-il ....? 0,00001% ?
