A Song About the Gray Pigeon (Piesen o sivom holubovi 1961) A PG-13 Slovak war movie. A story about the Slovak National Uprising, betrayal, resulting just punishment and a pigeon with a broken wing. How many of you have seen the movie? Are you familiar with the so-called Hlinka Guard?

If there ever was a family-friendly war movie this would definitely meet such criteria, although there are plenty of battle and intense scenes, no bloodshed or dead bodies are shown.

Six short stories seamlessly connected together into one piece: (Pamiatka / Remembrance), (Vysviacka zvona / Bell consecration), (Krst ohnom / Baptism by fire), (Chlapec a puska / The boy and the rifle), (Vianocny dar / Christmas present), (Pozdrav / Greeting).

Second World War and the Slovak National Uprising through the eyes of small children. A gray pigeon with an injured wing after being shot down by a slingshot by one of the boys. Examples of courage and bravery, as well as examples of cowardice and treason.

The teacher (Karol Machata) which takes the children on a school trip into the mountains is a special kind of a spineless traitor. He's a staunch Slovak guardist i.e. Nazi collaborator that as the movie progresses stealthily turns his coat and joins the fight alongside Slovak and Russian partisans just to save his hide, but once he sees that his newly chosen side is getting the heck beaten out of them, turns his coat once again only to be nearly shot in the back from a distance from one of his students (Pavol Mattas as Vince) which believed his intentions at first that he finally joined the Slovak resistance. He nevertheless gets his just comeuppance towards the end of the movie as he is captured by the Soviet army. Little Rudy (played by Pavol Polacek) even asks what is going on with his teacher and is being replied by Vinco: "No worries, he won't be teaching you anymore".

A woman giving birth in a burnt-out house being helped by a female Russian partisan while a Nazi troop is approaching the settlement. Little carolers trying to divert the attention of the soldiers towards them eventually fail to do so as loud moans coming from the dilapidated hut are being heard. This is one of the nail-biting scenes where my heart really skipped a beat.

I also cannot omit the cringe-worthy scene where the Major (Ladislav Chudik) as a representative of the bourgeoisie simply throws away his rifle when the boys (Vince and Milan played by Peter Kollarik) and he get attacked by a German fighter plane and their car gets shot into smithereens. The director gave several nods to the communist regime throughout the flick, but luckily it does not detract from the beauty of the movie. Especially the scene of the shiny and polished Russian ruble coin with the embossed CCC

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Dropped my best ever dad joke & no one was around to hear it

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies πŸ˜‚

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
