Haven't seen a Canadian or Quebec movie in a long time. As the movie reviews say, it's a piece of evidence that Quebec cinema is still alive because it has such a strong Quebec vibe. The simplicity and tolerance of Quebecers, the passion for music and life cultivated in the ice and snow, and the strong family affection make me miss the Quebec people.
One side of the water and soil support the other side. Although Quebecers' political and economic weight in Canada is declining, they still maintain a unique Quebec French culture. Although Quebec's drive for independence is waning, they still hold on to their cultural pride. Canada as a whole has been following American cultural trends over the last century, but they still have reservations. Quebecers, in particular, are more like a mix of North American and European cultures. The characteristic of Quebecers lies in their understanding of nature and family. When Europeans are tired of religion and Americans are going through political storms, Quebecers still sing their praises in church. Because religion is not just a form, it is a bond that connects families. Christmas is not only a religious ceremony, but more importantly, an opportunity for the whole family to gather. The Quebecers' love of music is a sub-theme of the film, in which the father obsessively sings the same song year after year, while the young children follow fashion. They are a traditional family, but not against homosexuality, as long as you are serious.
The filming aspect of the film is almost impeccable. Although it lasts for 127 minutes, it is not boring at all. It has both the warmth that makes people laugh and tears, and the helplessness that makes people sigh. Just as colorful as life itself.
