Set the Holiday Season Mood With a Christmas Movie

  • Posted on February 27, 2010 at 1:30 pm

Apart from the Christmas tree, decorations, parties and gifts, there is something that adds a special atmosphere to the holiday season: Christmas films. Almost all adults have sweet memories of a Christmas movie, a movie that remains favorite and have – sometimes just for a second – a particular taste: the taste of childhood. We are now adults and know that films related to Christmas, creating an atmosphere of fun and also teach moral lessons to our children. When I was a child, the most watched films of 1950 Belgian Christmas were American movies (Hollywood style of course) or French films. For twenty-five years, our society has changed and the quality of TV shows at Christmas French language in Europe has decreased. Films Christmas Eve have been replaced with music programming, the quality was not the best. Many television companies also tend to offer hundreds of times viewed films: for example, TVI shows Harry Potter 1 and 2 on December 24th while we waited to watch Harry Potter 3 or 4. . . However, thanks to the Internet and DVD stores, I have the opportunity to watch films that I like instead of those offered by television companies. Here are some examples of beautiful and / or humorous films of Christmas, I love, “Bishop’s Wife” A good film in the Hollywood tradition! While working on plans to build a cathedral, financed by a wealthy widow, Henry Broghaman, Episcopal bishop neglects his family and pray for divine guidance. Her prayers are answered and Dudley, an angel is sent to help. The mission of the angel is not helping to build, but in its relationships with his family that he neglects. But Dudley falls in love with the wife of the bishop and Broghaman is jealous… French title of this movie is “Honi Soit Qui Mal thinks” (Old English: shame on those who think ill of him). “The sound of music” This film tells the story of Maria, a young Austrian woman who was studying to become a nun. She was hired by Captain Von Trapp, a widower to be the governess of his seven children. Children have been hostile to it, but eventually became friends when she thaught them the joy of singing. Captain Von Trapp and Maria fall in love and marry. When the Nazis took power in Austria, Captain Von Trapp and his family fled the country and found refuge in Switzerland. This musical is one of the French romantic European movies. “3615 Code Pere Noel” Thomas is a child who has everything: a mother who loves him, a grandfather Cheeky, thousands of different toys and costly. Thomas is an intelligent child and on Christmas Eve, while planning capture, he communicates with him through the Minitel (the ancestor of the French IM). Unfortunately, the alleged Santa Claus is an employee of psychopath that his mother has just dismissed. A few hours later, the Santa false enters castle Thomas and the nightmare begins. The English title of this thriller is “Dial Code Santa Claus” Santa is a shit “(Father Christmas is a filth) SOS distress and Friendship” is a charity headed by Ms. Paulin. So she decided to celebrate Christmas with his family, Peter and Theresa spend their evening, the phone and try to give some hope to desperate people. They do not know that this night of Christmas will also stupid accidents and unexpected visits from desperate and sometimes dangerous people. The evening will turn into a nightmare comedy. The U.S. remake of this film is “Mixed Nuts”. “Scrooged” This is a modern adaptation of Dickens. Francis Cross, who is director of programming at a television station, is an unpleasant person. During Christmas Eve, three ghosts take care of them and teach him to become a good person by showing him the bright side of life. This film is also a beautiful message which teaches the world the true meaning of Christmas. “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” The return of the family Griswold! 25,000 bulbs on the front of the house blinding the neighbors, family related unbearable, tree burning Christmas, a Christmas turkey burned, hostile neighbors, a Christmas bonus and removed a lot of unforeseen accidents, c ‘Christmas is the Griswold family. I watched this movie for the first time in the late 80s and never enough! I even bought the DVD to have the opportunity to create an atmosphere hysterical Christmas every other day of the year! “Surviving Christmas” Tired of the customs of Christmas and New Year? Are they paid $ 250,000 on the eve of celebrating a traditional Christmas with a stranger? fun to watch these films and have a very Merry Christmas!

But when the Grinch hears them sing on Christmas Day, he realized that the holiday season has nothing to do with this and everything to do with love.

A Dog’s Point of View How The Grinch Stole Christmas was not only a huge success in Hollywood, he was also a success on Broadway, appearing as a special musical production. The show is narrated by the dog’s cranky and follows him as he tries to steal Christmas from the Whos.
