The Elf: A Great Christmas Cry

192 Words1 Pages
“The best way to spread Christmas cheer, is singing loud for all to hear”. It is no wonder why Elf is a great Christmas movie to watch with the whole family this holiday. I thought that the elf was amazingly played by Will Ferrell, although the story plot could have been thought out to be just a little more detailed.
Elf is about a grown human,Buddy (played by Will Ferrell), who finds out that through his whole life, he was raised by elfs. He then goes on an adventure to New York City to find his father. Once he is reunited with his father, he faces some challenges about being in the human world after being raised in the North Pole. Buddy realizes what it is like to be with you family, fall in love, and what it is like to bring Christmas spirit.

I examined A Savage Christmas: Hong Kong 1941, the first in a three part series called The Valour and the Horror produced by CBC and the National Film Board of Canada which become very popular due to the controversy that surrounded it. The document uses original film and dramatization to depict what happened to Canadian troops at Hong Kong in December 1941 and the years following in a Japanese prisoners of war camp. Similar to any historical source the film does have a bias towards the Canadians and is quite clear since they utilized personal narratives as the foundation of retelling the events that occurred. Although the article makes assumptions and ignores important context, the documentary is still a valid source when used with caution as it does contain factual There are a couple messages in the documentary that they are clearly trying to convince their audience of. The first is the Canadian government sent in untrained troops to fight in Hong Kong, knowing they had no chance win.

The Grinch Who Stole Christmas The Grinch who stole Christmas is one of my favorite Dr. Seuss books and one of my favorite Christmas movies.

One identical thing I found in the movie and book was that the Grinch hated Christmas.
