Can you remember the first Christmas movie you ever watched? You may have watched the Charlie Brown specials or the Grinch, but the one movie everyone seems to remember is none other than A Christmas Story. While movies such as Elf are all classic movies to watch on Christmas Eve night, A Christmas Story was the first in its genre to present itself to the modern audience. Your grandparents may have listened to Frank Sinatra’s Christmas album, your parents might’ve watched It’s A Wonderful Life, but you indulged in that classic known as A Christmas Story. Its plot is so simple: taking place at around the 40s, this movie follows Ralphie, a young neighborhood boy who wants one thing for Christmas, a BB gun. But of course, Ralphie’s mom declines, saying that famous line: “You’ll shoot your eye out”. The entire runtime of 1 hour 34 minutes carries the plot of Ralphie’s wild adventures. From eating soap to getting someone’s tongue stuck to a pole, this movie is a classic. Bob Clark, who was an infamous director in the 80s, simply recognized and familiarized with the interests of kids, going as far as filming a montage of how kids got special offers in the mail, which you have to see the movie to understand 😉 . In the end, I’m going to give this movie an A+. Stay tuned for my next review for Polar Express, and of course, have a fantastic day!
