      I want to give three and a half stars

      When I went to the theater to watch "If You Are the One", this poster attracted me, with beautiful colors, strong magic, and a blue moon in the ice and snow... I was not disappointed when I watched the film, and I even burst into tears several times. The polar scenery is a beauty that is difficult for ordinary people to experience, and can be satisfied through the film; when the music is played, there is a bit of surprise, it feels like the music of a stand-alone game, and it has some oriental...

      legacy of love

      I watched this movie on the last night of Christmas, and it was the first time I wrote a few words that were not a movie review.
             It turns out that Santa's name is Nicholas. It turns out that Santa Claus also has childhood. It turns out that Santa's red coat is for reindeer.
             A Christmas legend, a beautiful story about Santa Claus, a story about family affection, gratitude, and passing on love.
             Also, Christmas legends accompany me through a Christmas night....

      Nordic, snow-like pure

      I saw the introduction in the cctv TV guide two years ago, but I haven't watched it.
      A friend recommended this movie for Christmas a while ago. Only after Baidu did I know that I had seen the introduction before, but since it was not a cartoon, I never watched it.
      I finally watched this movie tonight at the urging of a friend.
      The snow scene in Finland is beautiful in the film. Very longing for the cabin in Nicholas and Ithaca.
      The most commendable thing is the pure love of...

      Good to see at Christmas

      There are no particularly exciting scenes from the beginning to the end of this film, but it has always been a very comfortable feeling. I like this protagonist, Santa Claus, who likes to carve since he was a child, and gives the carved toys to every child, it seems that He has carried this idea with him since he was a child until he grows old, as if his whole life was for children.
      When there are more and more newborns, he is also old, and his storage room can't hold so many gifts. At the...

    Background creation

    Much of Joulutarina was filmed in the Arctic Lapland region of northern Finland. Most of the film was shot in the real world   . The crew lived a 2-hour drive from Lapland, and the daytime in Lapland was only 5 hours. The whole filming process was very hard. The film was shot 100 meters underground in the mine where the ice of the frozen lake is more than 80 meters deep   .
    One Christmas, screenwriter Marko Leino received the most...

    Evaluation action

    The plot of "Joulutarina" can be described as simple and bland, lacking violent contradictions, no excessive philosophical teaching-style dialogue, not even negative, no opposition. Like a puff of cooking smoke, it swells slightly, stagnant at the end of the eyes, and seems to contain the audience in front of the screen.
    There is no ugliness in the film, not because of the white snow, but because the ugliness never took root. Life is...
