Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Effroyables Jardins (literally: Frightful Gardens) is a 2003 French film directed and written by Jean Becker, adapting the eponymous novel by Michel Quint.In a 1950s French village, a little boy doesn't understand why his father Jacques Pouzay (Jacques Villeret) puts a clown nose on every year and goes out to entertain the villagers. Jacques' friend André Designy (André Dussollier) tells him the story behind this...Back in 1944, during the German occupation of France, Jacques and André foolishly blew up a railway station to make themselves a name in La Résistance. Germans soldiers soon reacted, by taking several people hostages, including Jacques and André, and threatened to execute them all should the perpetrators not denounce themsemlves. While they were waiting for the execution in a muddy pit in which the German soldiers threw them, Jacques, André and fellow hostage Thierry (Thierry Lhermitte) were surprised when one of the soldiers, Bernd, had genuine sympathy for them and started entertaining them. He was a clown at the Medrano Circus in Paris before the war.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

All Germans Are Nazis | |

All Germans Are Nazis: No one speaks the trope loud, but Bernd is there to avert it. He used to be a clown before he was drafted in the military and has troubles following orders, specially when it involves being ruthless against civilians. | |

Deconstruction | |
Effroyables Jardins / int_8ae880f7 | comment |
Deconstruction: The film highlights one of the least glamorous aspects of the actions of La Résistance during World War II, namely Germans taking local people hostages following said actions and executing them when the resistants don't come forward or can't be found. | |

Didn't Think This Through: Jacques and André didn't think about the dreadful consequences of their idea to blow up the station, that is Germans practicing Disproportionate Retribution on the population. | |
