Christmas Tale Tron

Tales Christmas

With a touch of cynicism, I think we should "thank" the most religious part of that consumer if Christmas is a moment so central in the imagination of the world. It is more difficult however to find an image, a face or a movie that can be linked directly to the party and universal. The cards are upset by a thousand loose cannon that surge in our minds and often create the most unlikely connections. For example: someone has ever asked what has made a film caustic and absolutely brilliant (and diabolical prophetic) as a chair for two a holiday classic? Mystery! Suffice image Dan Aykroyd close to suicide to realize that there was more film away from the aura that often characterizes saccharine December 25.

would be more logical to elect evergreen ultimate party The story of Santa Claus Jeannot Szwarc, but anyone remember him? Thought surely with the intention of making an eternal "recurring" party, had all the elements of the genre: exploration of "truth" behind the icon, goodness lavished with both hands and even a little intrigue. Well, immediately fell into oblivion and is not seen around for decades!

Of course, not a matter only of standardization, because sometimes the neglect also affects projects absolutely bizarre. Looking for images to accompany these lines, I came across the little-known fact Santa Claus Conquers the Martians , Christmas-fiction film directed by Nicolas Webster in 1965, that since the title seems sculptural movie par excellence! Be recovered on trust, even if it is in the top ten of the worst Christmas movie of all time (link below).
Better then rely on established classics as 's a Wonderful Life, or even more the various versions of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens : The latest implementation, edited by Robert Zemeckis, despite the favor with which it was received, reflects quell'artificiosità that connotes all the latest headlines because of the author motion-capture that era's Avatar looks terribly outdated and not able to be warmly retro . Better in this case, choose one of the many transpositions earlier, I point to that of Disney, The Christmas Carol Mickey , although to be fair my favorite is SOS Ghosts (but what is more beautiful than the title Original Scrooged!), directed by Richard Donner Handyman dazed and gratified by the presence of Bill Murray, one of those characters that is not convincing in the final repentance never that much, and can therefore leave the door open to the idea that, yes , Scrooge has become good, but maybe not, who knows ...
Finally, a comic memory, with the mythical history And All Through the House, published in The Vault of Horror of EC Comics, with Santa Claus murderess, the inspiration for many films and was also an excellent implementation Journal of the television series Tales From the Crypt . And guess who was the director? Robert Zemeckis! When you say the case ...

Merry Christmas to all!
