December is here, and it's time for you to revisit True Love? Or is it "the season of white albums again"?
The books, movies, TV series, and songs that come to mind when we think of Christmas are probably the warm colors of our memories. Even if it will be said to be "fried cold rice", every Year's Christmas Month does have some Christmas-themed movies and dramas that can't help but watch again, and the headphones are indispensable to a variety of pleasant holiday atmosphere.
In the story, I experience the Christmas of others, and in a country without Christmas traditions, I also want to experience the joy of the festival.
The holiday season is nothing more than the home of family fun and light romantic comedy, and Christmas is no exception. However, not everyone loves the holiday so much, in foreign countries, some people face the family emotional burden brought by Christmas just like we face the Spring Festival, which really resonates a lot.
"Holiday Dating" is about single male and female protagonists who find each other to pretend to be lovers in order to cope with their parents' nagging during the Christmas holidays - this plot is the same as the behavior of marriageable men and women in China renting boyfriends/girlfriends to go home for the New Year. The plot of contract love to fake drama is a bit old-fashioned, and skilled audiences can guess the plot of the next second, that is, to win in the light and funny, warm and sincere, just like a little dessert for Christmas.
When I saw the title of this film, I couldn't help but sing it, isn't it "jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle all the way~" By the way, the Taiwanese translation is the essence: "Leftover Single Jingle". This gay Christmas movie is the first "gay Christmas" movie, which weaves together seemingly traditional Christmas, family atmosphere and sexual diversity through a relaxed, nonsensical plot, making people feel warm and comfortable, even if the plot has a hard wound, it does not prevent us from getting candy that belongs to the festival.
Some people may say that this is not another old-fashioned Christmas "net big"? If heterosexuals can have such a festive love light comedy to pin their expectations for love, then why can't the LGBTQ community also have it? Don't think about it too much, just click on this movie and feel happy.
Christmas is always inseparable from the snowy winter, isn't the atmosphere of Frozen just right?
The short film's timeline follows Frozen 1, and after the doors of Arendelle Castle open, Anna and Elsa prepare for Christmas, inviting everyone to parties and christmas, but are rejected because the Christmas tradition is to spend with their families. So the two sisters, who had not spent the festival together for so many years, began to go door to door to understand the traditional ritual sense of Christmas.
Regardless of culture and beliefs, if you want to try to have a wonderful Christmas with family and friends, this Christmas special heart limited gift from Disney may give you some inspiration, start your Christmas month with this short film!
Ignoring this slightly silly white sweet Chinese translation, this Netflix Christmas sweet drama is different from the stars gathered and the high-profile "True Love Supreme", just like a cup of warm cocoa in winter, sprinkled with some cinnamon powder, not sweet, not according to the routine sugar, but can be sweet into your heart.
By chance, the christmas of the male and female protagonists Dash and Lily is not so pleasant, but they consider themselves "marginal people" and become penpals because of the red notebook Lily left in the bookstore, which embarks on a series of adventures. Many unexpected bridges present a different Christmas: go to Macy's Store to break into Santa's Garden; taste salty bread on the street, apple pie with cheese, new York "Cinderella" falling on red rain boots... More plots are spoilers ahead, waiting for you to unravel this Christmas gift full of surprises.
Unfortunately, it is strange that Lao Mei does not love sweet dramas, and the second season that was scheduled to be launched this year has been announced to be cut.
Looking back on my childhood, I can't remember when I knew about Christmas and santa claus's "existence". Inexplicably, I accepted a happy holiday where I could receive gifts. Like Charlie Brown in Peanuts, he couldn't figure out what Christmas meant. So his friend Lucy arranged for him to be the director of the school Christmas drama, hoping that he could find the fun of the holidays — of course things didn't go so well, the ending wasn't so happy, but it was good and warm.
Fifty-six years later, the cartoons of 1965 still seem warm. "Charlie Brown's Christmas" continues the innocent, rustic style of the "Peanut Comics" series, closer to the real festival, not so grand and grand, just like our ordinary every day, and there is no lack of philosophical classic lines in the mouths of the characters, waking up our simple but ignored truths. Now I found out that it turned out that "Peanut Comics" had a healing "prescription" for adults.
When we grow up, our lives and the things we have may be like Charlie Brown's bleak "little tree", but as long as there is a heart that loves life and a group of friends who are willing to decorate it, it is not so bad.
In fact, there is a small step to create a Christmas atmosphere to watch the drama: it is to relive the Christmas-related plots in your favorite film and television works. If your favorite drama has a long enough life, you may be able to turn out a lot of Christmas memories, such as "Friends".
The Sixsome has had a unique experience at Christmas for a decade: in the first season, Rose adopts The Monkey Marcel, the six make an appointment to celebrate New Year's Eve without a partner, but various variables begin to appear since Christmas; Rachel and Monica's Christmas party turns into a tropical party in seconds due to a heating valve failure, and Phoebe takes Chandler and Joey to visit her biological father (but finally gives up)... While reliving it, I seem to remember fragments of my memories of spending Christmas with my friends.
Just like when the six people first spent their Christmas tree, Monica finally compromised her obsessive-compulsive disorder, whether it was a Christmas tree, a Christmas party, a Christmas gift, it didn't matter, what mattered was the people who were around, what mattered was the time spent together. Friends with whom you share a Christmas memory of a play, are you still around each other?
According to unwritten rules (no), Christmas should listen to The Cow Sister Mariah Carey, just like "Congratulations on Your Fortune" that loops all day in our New Year's supermarket. The famous cow sister "pension insurance" "All I Want for Christmas is You" needless to say, it is better to recommend to everyone last year that the cow sister brought A sister and soul music princess Jennifer Hudson to send a new generation of Christmas golden song "Oh! Santa》。
The three generations of strength singers who can be called "three people insured" will have a kind of reproduction of the American sixties The Supremes inner taste, taking turns to stage the listening feast of high-difficulty techniques such as high-pitched Bb5 and G#5, from the three-person tri-color masterpiece sound to the gorgeous MV, I have to say that Christmas is indispensable to Niu Sister, this song is the best choice to open the Christmas prologue.
If the Golden Song of Sister Niu is the treasure of the Christmas party, then this "Like It's Christmas" from the three brothers of the Jonas Brothers is more like the brisk rhythm of the footsteps when rushing to the lover's date on the night of December, the love that fills the air, the intimate hug in the snow...
Of course, whether it is Christmas or not, whether you are alone or not, this cute song can also cheer up people who are frustrated in life, and bring a good mood for people who go to work on winter mornings. I don't know if it's because Christmas is approaching, or because it's hard not to make people's mouths rise because this song is difficult?
(Easter Egg: The aforementioned "Love Challenge Book" finale will feature the three Joe brothers in a cameo episode, bringing a live performance of the song.) ）
It is not uncommon for Korean singers and Aidou to combine the Christmas single album to cut fans leeks seasonally, which has a surprising album - this Christmas – Winter is Coming by Girls' Generation member Kim Tae-yeon, the lead singer's singing ability needless to say, an album can also taste eight different styles of Christmas atmosphere, here to recommend a song "Let it Snow" to everyone.
"Let it Snow" is a lively swing style song, guitar, brass instruments, string instruments and other combinations of a Christmas wish in anticipation of snowy days. But what I want to mention is the musical atmosphere created by this song, from the soothing main song, the layers of progressive choruses, you will think that you are in the middle of a Christmas plot, want to dance with the flowing notes, stretch your arms; and then to the end, the high, sweet female voice is like the actor's ending pose on the stage, always feeling that it will be followed by applause from the audience. Be sure to hear the end, you won't be disappointed.
