What were they shouting?
In the ending, what were the people shouting?
shareAt the very end when people were marching away? I believe it was "Vive Chiappe" -- long live Chiappe.
what is that supposed to meen?
Montreal isin't the French New-York, NY is the english Montreal...Mntrl was there first.
It was actually the name of a writer of a newspaper that wanted Bunuel's films to be banned. It was Bunuel's way of getting the writer back for the attacks on his films. Basically saying that the writer was evil due to the fact that Bunuel wanted fascism to be portrayed as evil in the film.
shareah cool cool, thx.

Actually, Chiappe was the Paris police prefect who banned L'Âge d'Or, Bunuel's second film. As you can gather from him counting Joseph amongst his sympathizers, he was rather reactionary.
Before their cry of "Vive Chiappe", the demonstrators shout "À bas les métèques", which could be translated as "Down with wogs!".
Ah, educational 8).
shareYou should also try to go deeper into the history of "L'Action Française"...royalist, militarist, fascist organisation...that complied with the Nazi régime during occupation of France...all the bad guys in this movie support "L'Action Française" and are openely anti-semitic...as one of the characters (Joseph) comments after hearing the news that 12 jews had been killed in Romania that he would have killed one jew daily had he been in Paris...this guy then molests that child and end up being the owner of a café in a military town...
cheers
