The snowy winter scene is not strange in movies, but no matter how many times you watch it, it is still filled with emotions because of the warm stories that are enough to warm people's hearts every time the cold wind blows.
“Home Alone” - the legendary Christmas movie
The story follows eight-year-old Kevin McCallister, who is abandoned by his family and must deal with two burglars during the Christmas holidays. This seemingly lonely and desperate situation is handled by director Chris Columbus in a humorous and light-hearted manner.
"Home Alone" is a movie for the whole family, from adults to children to watch and everyone will laugh with delight.
The New York Times called the film "the first Christmas-themed black comedy for kids." The battle between young Kevin and two thieves helps viewers relieve tension, satisfying their darkest thoughts without any consequences.
Nearly three decades have passed, but the appeal of Home Alone has not diminished, especially during the cold season.
The film's idea of "being home alone" is also the wish of many young children. The boy gets to skateboard indoors, eat cream puffs to his heart's content, and break into his brother's room. The work conveys a message about responsibility and maturity. As the adventure reaches its climax, the boy learns how to do laundry, shop at the grocery store, proving that he can be independent without his parents. The message easily resonates with audiences of all ages, those who have been mistrusted and struggled to define their own identity.
In Poland, Home Alone is considered a classic Christmas movie and has been broadcast on national television every year-end for nearly three decades.
Although it has been nearly 25 years since director Chris Columbus brought the young Macaulay Culkin to the screen, “Home Alone” is still one of the unforgettable movies every Christmas season. Along with the pine tree, church bells, candles, roast chicken, and Yule log, “Home Alone” is the name that completes a cozy, peaceful Christmas night with families, no matter where they are.
“Frozen”, a gift for all ages
The story of the Snow Queen in Andersen's fairy tale has been known by heart by many generations of children, praising the Goodness with the two characters Kai and Gerda. In 2013, Disney filmmakers were inspired by the classic story to create "Frozen" - an animated film that is dominating theaters worldwide. Also based on an adventure, "Frozen" has become a film that can be enjoyed by all ages thanks to its humor and appreciation of the value of love.
''Frozen'' is the highest-grossing animated film of all time
As Walt Disney's 53rd animated film, Frozen has many innovations in terms of images and effects. The kingdom of Arendelle is built very splendidly and is typical of a fairy tale world, especially when covered by white snow in winter. The image of Elsa magically creating a brilliant, sparkling snow castle with the Snow Queen's outfit will make a strong impression on viewers.
The line, "Some people are worth melting for," is the epitome of Frozen: full of love.
“What we want to tell is, if you have power, how will you grow and change, find your place in this world, where will you find answers to unanswered questions...” is the message the film wants to send to readers of all ages.
“When Harry Met Sally” and the New Year's Eve confession
Romantic movies often believe in “love at first sight.” The guy and the girl meet and immediately realize that they cannot live without each other. That is not true for the two main characters of “When Harry Met Sally” as they hate each other at first sight.
Harry and Sally never liked each other, but they kept meeting at important milestones in life, writing a tragicomic love story that lasted more than a decade.
The film asks the question “Can women and men be just friends?” and touches on many familiar ideas about romantic relationships in life. Watching the film, the audience will follow the two main characters through Christmas together, or lonely New Year’s Eve parties over and over again,… until they decide to end their loneliness. “When Harry Met Sally…” brings the atmosphere of the end-of-year holidays and it is truly one of the best romantic comedies ever made.
Mountains and rivers change easily, but natures are hard to change. Throughout a decade, the two remained jealous of each other, neither willing to give in. One New Year's Eve, they exchanged a warm hug and a kiss.
Five years later, they met again at the airport. Harry was about to get married and Sally was happily in a new relationship. They argued all the way through the flight and then went their separate ways. Five more years passed. Harry was cheated on by his wife and was in the process of getting a divorce. Sally had just broken up with her boyfriend. The two met again, quickly became best friends and, like a predictable ending in a romantic movie, fell in love without realizing it.
This timeless film will certainly never lose its appeal to the film-loving community no matter how much time passes. True love is about compensating and accepting each other's shortcomings.
