      Snowy Christmas glowing white house

      It's the second day of Christmas, but a Christmas-related movie seems to be able to pull the time back to the past good things are always crazy I'm really happy that I can buy and move back a bunch of light bulbs. The dream is very simple. I can see all the lights in our house from space. Finally, one day, I will really see it. . . Only when I speak to myself in an empty house can I clearly hear my own voice, so it turns out that I don’t like talking in a noisy crowd, and I don’t like singing...

      No matter how bad the film is, there are also shining points

      Most Christmas movies are bad movies. I mean Christmas movies made for Christmas.
      In fact, it's like Chinese people now have New Year's Eve to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Habits are good, traditions are good. Of course I know the Spring Festival Gala is nothing It's good-looking, and many people don't watch it. But most Chinese families still choose to watch the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve.
      Well, I should say this, different countries have different traditions to spend...

      There is a feeling called "Christmas"

      I don't think that only movies like "Terminator" or "Titanic" are called blockbusters. Now people may focus on those movies that attract attention and whet their appetites, while ignoring these needs to calm our impetuous mood, A quiet video. . .
        Shiny Christmas, let us really appreciate the feeling of Christmas in a foreign country. That is the beauty that permeates everywhere. It is the visual impact of red, green and white intertwined. You said you like Christmas, but in China, how...

      No way, who made it so "Christmas"!

      Although the plot is very American-style vulgar, the feeling of "Christmas" is so touching! Especially the concerted efforts of everyone, especially the light, warm and romantic, I am always moved by such vulgar scenes and get goosebumps all over! -_-

      And the moment when it was viewed by google earth (of course it was fake, it was impossible for a beam of light to appear)! Glittering space hey~~~ It fits the imagination of our Aquarius too! For example, I often hope that aliens will...

      architectural dream

      We all have ideals when we are young, to be scientists, to be astronauts, to be great people, to do great things. With the passage of time and the maturity of the mind, this unrestrained ideal gradually turned into a dream, and replaced it with finding a good job, having a good house, marrying a good wife, having a good son, and living a good life. And those dreams have long been forgotten, and even seeing people who are still dreaming will return them with contempt and ridicule.
          When...

    Movie plot

    Steve Finn ( Matthew Broderick ) lives in the suburbs with his family. Almost everything he does has to be carefully and carefully arranged. Steve follows the rules and regulations, and has long been used to it and enjoys it very much. A life that doesn't change. At the same time, Steve is also a big fan of Christmas. Every year when Christmas comes, he is so excited that he has to go to the Christmas carnival held in the city. But on...

    Shooting process

    In the script, the house where Steve and Buddy "duel" should be next to a street in a New England-style town. After some exploration, the crew found a large, vacant open park in the suburbs of Vancouver. There are already some houses in the park, so that the crew can easily reproduce the required scenes. Since there are often shots of Steve looking at Buddy's house from inside the house, Buddy's house was designed to give the best...

    Evaluation action

    In fact, the film has nothing to do with comparisons, it is just two feisty old children who are full of innocence and make small fights. The final purpose is nothing more than to convey two truths to the audience: first, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors; second , the real meaning of Christmas lies in the warm feelings contained in the house under these gorgeous lights. The film is full of American festive...
