On Christmas Eve, watching The Nightmare Before Christmas is actually not a good choice, because the film is more suitable for watching on Halloween. But Tim Burton's warmth under the black fairy tale coat makes people feel that watching this film before Christmas just makes people's eyes look at white with more warmth after seeing black.
The film starts with the fairy-tale opening that Burton is good at: 'Twas long time ago, longer now than it seems, in a place that perhaps you've seen in your dreams. For the story that you are about to be told. Took place in the holiday worlds of old. Now, you've probably wondered where holidays come from. If you haven't, I'd say it's time you begun. And then, in cheerful singing, the Halloween town of Halloween unfolds in our before. "Boys and girls of every age, wouldn't you like to see something strange" lured us to explore this magical Halloween town. All the townspeople are responsible for planning and implementing the spooky Halloween event. Their purpose is to scare people. Let people scream and scream on Halloween. But after Halloween this year, The Pumpkin King Jack was no longer happy about his success in scaring humans. He was getting tired of screaming year after year. There was an overwhelming sense of emptiness in his skeleton. There's an empty, place in my bones. That calls out for, something unknown.
By chance, Jack came to Christmas Town. Unlike the Halloween town full of monsters and screams, the joy and warmth of the Christmas town gave Jack a new idea. After returning to Halloween Town, he explained Christmas to the townspeople, and set up a Santa Claus workshop to understand and study Christmas with his own thinking. After a series of "science experiments", he decided to bring an unprecedented Christmas in his way. Following the basic elements of Christmas recorded in the book, Jack asks the residents of Halloween Town to prepare for Christmas.
Although everyone doesn't know what Christmas really is, Jack's passion keeps everyone excited about Christmas preparations. Only Sally, who had always had a crush on Jack, objected. She didn't think it was right, but in the face of Jack's enthusiasm, she silently made Santa's clothes for him. On Christmas Eve, Jack sent a trick-or-treating trio to kidnap Santa Claus, disguised himself as Santa Claus, drove a skeleton coffin sleigh, and came to the world with "Christmas gifts" produced in Halloween Town.
But the horrific gifts from the skeleton Santa terrified children and adults alike, the police station's phones were blown up, the radio announced to everyone "an imposter is shamelessly impersonating Santa Claus, mocking and mangling this joyous holiday" the
army was out , an anti-aircraft gun blasted Jack from the air.
Jack, who blew up on the statue of the Virgin Mary, began to reflect on what he had done. He wanted to bring happiness to everyone. He found that although he had a good intention and tried his best, he was the Pumpkin King after all. The festival you work hard for is Halloween, and it can only be Halloween!
After figuring this out, he rescued Santa and Sally who were kidnapped by Uchi, and eliminated the most evil Uchi. The final happy ending. Santa Claus makes up for Christmas on earth, and Jack and Sally's lovers end up getting married.
I went to Christmas with Halloween thinking, and I just thought it was amazing. This is exactly the brainchild of Tim's genius!
The role of Jack is very interesting, he is the pumpkin king but he is different from the general Halloween town residents, he is tired of the same life, he is eager to contact new things. So when he came to play Christmas Town, he was pleasantly surprised by this warm world. At the same time, he was also an innovator. He did not simply stay in Christmas Town, a place that gave him freshness and warmth, but worked hard Bring back the joy he felt to the residents of Halloween Town. It's a pity that his consciousness is too advanced, and few people can understand his real intention. Until he pretended to be Santa Claus and was bombarded by the police, he was also thinking about why he wanted to bring joy to people, but people didn't appreciate it. Of course, he is also a very smart person, he quickly understood that he is him, the pumpkin king, he can only make everyone scream on Halloween, and this is the happiness he can bring to everyone.
