These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
YMMV: Joyeux Noel
Awesome Music: Phillipe Rombi's score, especially "I'm Dreaming of Home." Considering two of the main characters are opera singers this is kind of a given.
Complete Monster: Though this film is about the inner goodness of humanity, there are sadly two people that could be considered examples of this trope here: the bishop, who is Disney's version of Frollo in real life, and the Kronprinz (even moreso if one knows that he went on to support Adolf Hitler and use himself as Nazi propoganda in order to help maintain his own power.)
The bishop and his speech really happened too.
Fridge Horror: Lieutenant Horstmayer is Jewish. It is likely that his wife is too, along with being French. If he survives into the Nazi era... Let's just say that this may not be the last time he's thrown in a cattle car and sent to Eastern Europe.
The cat getting arrested for carrying a message between two sides. This incident was based on a true story, where the cat was shot for the deed.
Tearjerker: It's a war movie, people, about the Western Front. QED, it is sad.
The epitome might be in the end, that, as they are sent to certain death in Russia (for fraternizing with the enemy), the German soldiers are still singing the song the Scots taught them.
The instant the alarm goes off at the end of the movie and you realise who got shot.
The beginning of the truce itself (with the German, French, and British forces going back and forth singing Silent Night) is another huge tearjerker, but in a good way.
