Pierre. Paul. Pasolini, as an atheist artist, accepted the dialogue with non-Christian artists initiated by the Pope at the time.
While waiting for the Pope, he was idle, finished watching the Gospel of Matthew in one sitting, and came up with the idea of making a movie based on the Gospels, which led to this outstanding work.
Pasolini did not adopt a script, but directly based on the original text of the Gospel sentence by sentence, to the greatest extent restored the Gospel and the life of Jesus.
More particularly, the spirit of the film's filming continues the spirit of the Italian neorealist movement, explaining the authenticity and simplicity, not using professional actors to perform, but letting local farmers, shopkeepers, factory workers, truck drivers play in it, and Maria is also played by Pasolini's own mother.
The black-and-white cinematography and just the right amount of long shots add to the film's charm, which won the Grand Jury Prize at that year's Venice Film Festival and was publicly screened at Notre Dame Cathedral, christians and non-Christians alike, making this film perfect for us to learn about the life of Jesus, the protagonist of Christmas.

William. Wheeler's masterpiece, the classic epic film that swept 11 Oscars, has not been able to break this record so far.
This film is ostensibly about Binxu, in fact, Jesus is the protagonist, the film begins with the birth of Jesus, ends with Jesus' death and resurrection, in the middle through Binxu not only increases the tension of the film story, but also through Binxu to let us know and understand Christian doctrine and its spirit more.
In addition to the solid drama, full of stories, and clear task lines, the film set, music, and picture are even more magnificent, and the four-wheeled carriage chase scene shot in real time will forever be recorded in history, and every picture in the film is like an oil painting, full of classical charm.
The grandeur of the ups and downs is followed by the power of redemption: love is more powerful than revenge.
One of the most special things about this film is that although Jesus is the protagonist, he has never appeared, but we will clearly understand that he is everywhere in the movie.
Believe me, after reading it, you will be shocked.

In Christmas, I would like to recommend another warm movie, which is composed of 10 love stories that happened at Christmas, which is a movie where you have to laugh from beginning to end with tears in your eyes.
And the director Richard. Curtis can easily control ten stories, and can receive such a high evaluation, the skill is naturally extraordinary, took a look at the director's information, only to find that he is actually the director of "Mr. Bean" and "Time and Space Traveler".
The prawn is not surprising, comedy, love, brain hole is definitely his best dish, if you are interested, you can also watch his other "Black Jazz Christmas Carol" starring Mr. Bean, yes, it is also a movie adapted from Dickens's novel, experience the painting style.

The film is based on a true story that happened on Christmas Eve in 1914, during the First World War, the war was glued and brutal, and people of different classes were constantly involved in the whirlpool of war, hovering on the brink of death.
Finally, Christmas Eve came. The German, French and Scottish camps declared a truce on Christmas Eve, agreeing to spend a peaceful and peaceful Christmas. Everyone laid down their weapons, held candles, and said "Merry Christmas" to each other.
Anna (Diane Kruger), the girlfriend of enlisted German tenor singer Springk (Benno Fuehrmann) comes to see him on Christmas Eve.
The soldiers were deeply warmed by Anna's soft and natural voice, and the Scottish priest (Carly Lewis Gary Lewis) also blew bagpipes, paddling through the silent and cold snowy night, floating over the battlefield for a long time.
In that era of bloody horror, "One Day of Peace" can be said to be the greatest miracle, which conveys the human desire for peace and the opposition to war, and is definitely an excellent film that is not conventional.

It is a small-budget work of sincerity, set in Germany in 1944, where The Christian Elizabeth hid in a forest hut with her son Forres to escape the damage caused by the war.
One day, three wounded American soldiers knocked on the door of Elizabeth's house, they needed a place to recuperate, and Elizabeth had no choice but to let them in, but only if their weapons were left outside.
Not long after, three more uninvited guests arrived, German soldiers, in a small wooden hut, two opposing sides of the narrow road, struggling to maintain the surface of peace.
Christmas came, everyone sat around the table to celebrate this God-given holiday, and between the cups and chips, everyone relaxed, temporarily forgetting their nationalities and positions, and the atmosphere began to relax.
This story that takes place in a log cabin is full of dramatic tension, and the audience is afraid from the beginning to the end that the joy that belongs to Christmas Eve will be destroyed by the war, because it is so cruel.........
The background music of the film is a hymn "Angels Sing in the Heavens", which is very good.

It's a Christmas movie for adults, and Susan's mom, Darius, is always busy and doesn't have time to spend with her. Even at Christmas, she is still organizing joyous marches.
However, an accident occurred, and the old man who played Santa Claus in the parade was drunk before the parade, so Darris found a kind-looking old man to temporarily replace him, but to her surprise, the old man actually insisted that he was Santa Claus after the parade.
Because of the jealousy of his peer competitors, the cute Santa Claus got into a lawsuit.
The court scene in the film is very exciting, and the defense lawyer's defense of Santa Claus is full of wisdom, expressing the film's criticism of skepticism, scientism, and affirmation of faith and humanity.
