      Family reunion is the most important

      [Christmas Geek] Revisit my feelings. I remember watching it on cctv6 when I was a child. I started to think it was a horror movie. Gradually warming your careful nest. There is no second Jin Carrey in the world. The two people at the pinnacle of comedy have to admire the foreign exploration of human nature, and they can always shoot the warmest side. The children in the film are very cute, especially the little heroine, and the voice of the hero when he was young. The core of the comedy...

      If you are a solitary monster

      "Christmas Geek" was also translated "Ghost". This film didn't shock my heart so much, it just made me think about the integration of individuals and groups. Jim Carrey plays a hairy monster ghost spirit. Although the plot is still old-fashioned, there are no shortage of highlights. This film has won the Oscar for best makeup. In fact, I don’t like the shape of the characters in Hugu Town, like being burned. The nose is simply unsightly, the ghost image is not so cute, I think there...

      Good life, happy every day

      Actually, I’m writing this film now, I actually watched it the day after Christmas; in fact, I was going to watch another Christmas film "A Christmas Carol" starring Kim Carey, but it’s all over I couldn’t visit, but I saw it by mistake, because the main actor is Kim Carrey and the director is Ron Howard, but I still have to greet the mother of the relevant person in charge of the control of BT in the edition office by the way; in fact, , This film is not too bad, at least the score on...

      Grinch, no matter how horrible it is, my house is the cutest. We scared the little girl at the post office to death. Maybe she will be afraid of us all her life... I don’t need to go out at all because I’m not bored.

      Cindy wants to know what Grinch hates. On Christmas, she went to ask Grinch’s classmates. She said: Grinch wanted to give me a Christmas gift once... He shaved his beard but he scratched his face, so his face was covered with papers, so some people laughed at her...

      Grinch is really ugly, but the plot is also really happy. But behind the uproar, this story is still very educational. Judging people by appearance can only result in harming others and harming themselves, but this problem cannot be changed from adults to...

    Filming process

    The film was completely shot at Universal Studios. The film set occupies 11 studios in the studio, including the No. 12 studio that covers an area of ​​30,000 square feet and is used to build the setting of the small town of Whoville. Since the world described by Dr. Seuss has no straight lines, the crew rarely uses traditional construction methods, and the art director Michael Columblies therefore used 2 million feet of polystyrene...

    Evaluation action

    "Christmas Geek" has achieved the myth of a green-haired monster. However, this is only a victory for Hollywood. For Kim Carey himself, this film has no breakthrough at all. In the play, Kim Carey follows the always exaggerated performance style. After wearing the rubber mask, his facial movements are even worse. The rapid movement changes, the sorrows and joys that change in a flash, the weird Christmas atmosphere and crude character...

    Movie quotes

    • The Grinch: Any calls?

      Grinch's Answering Machine: [computer voice] You have no messages.

      The Grinch: Odd. Better check the outgoing.

      Grinch's Answering Machine: [Grinch's voice] If you utter so much as one syllable, I'LL HUNT YOU DOWN AND GUT YOU LIKE A FISH! If you'd like to fax me, press the star key.

      The Grinch: Hmm. Oh well.

    • The Grinch: Oh, the Who-manity.

    • Narrator: The Whos young and old would sit down to a feast, and they'll feast, and they'll feast.

      The Grinch: And they'll feast, feast, feast, feast. They'll eat their Who-Pudding and rare Who-Roast Beast. But that's something I just cannot stand in the least. Oh, no. I'M SPEAKING IN RHYME!
