The plot of the movie is very concise, it just tells you how Christmas came to be, so the plot is not the most impressive to me, what I like most are some of the highlights. This all happened after Jesper (the 1st man) came to the island and met Klaus (the 2nd man). The plot that started here was light and warm, and some of the scenes were very pleasant and warm.

No.1

I love this scene, the little boy sees Klaus outside the window and tries to chase him out to find the gift giver, but only sees this picture. He was pleasantly surprised to find that someone would see the painting and feel his loneliness, and gave him a new toy. The little boy's little feet are stepping on the picture, which is very innocent and cute.

So cute little feet (*╹▽╹*)

No.2

Not only can Klaus pay attention to the children on the island, but he also cares about the birds in the forest near his home. He silently builds a small house by himself, where birds perch and store food. A gust of wind blew, and the little house tinkled, which was very pleasant.

No.3

The island began to change, and children and adults began to celebrate the festival. Against the backdrop of the lanterns, everything looks warm, and the long winter nights are no longer so unbearable because of the music and light.

(don't stare at me)

So while watching this movie, I don't need to pay attention to the plot at all, which is familiar enough to me to guess the next development, and I also know the final outcome very well. Nevertheless, I still like this movie very much. When watching it, I am like a detective, slowly finding the origin of each tradition from every detail, such as why Santa laughs "ho, ho, ho"; Does Santa Claus prepare so many presents all by himself; why the bad kids don't have presents; why does Santa Claus use reindeer as a helper, etc. These details will make the film more special and more realistic.

But this film answers the question I care most about: Why is this perennially cold place getting so warm? Perhaps as Klaus said: because selfless acts of kindness are always the most moving and the most influential. Because of Jesper and Klaus' changes, the people on the island began to change, and the islanders who were incompatible with each other became friendly and kind.

Therefore, it is highly recommended for people in the southern hemisphere to watch, and they can also experience the warmth in this winter. In the northern hemisphere, wait until Christmas and watch it, preferably Christmas Eve.

Klaus quotes

  • Jesper: Ha! Eat our snow, you-

    [since the reindeer aren't attached, the sleigh starts to roll backwards]

    Jesper: They're not attached. Why aren't they attached? I thought they were attached. I never in a million years would've done what I just did if I didn't think these were attached.

  • Klaus: A true selfless act always sparks another.
