Nothing captures the essence of Christmas like the scene where the dad is struggling and uttering obscenities to himself while decorating the tree.
dad's face as ralphie opens the bb gun is a thing of such pure tenderness, it makes me cry every fucking time, like the best parts of my life as a child and as a parent have condensed into one moment of simple pleasure and i remember that that's all happiness really is, peaceful stolen moments and watching someone you love get exactly what they want
Part Twenty-two of A Very Merry Christmas Challenge.
Simultaneously a glistening piece of nostalgia and a free-wheeling work of Christmastime charm and cheer; A Christmas Story is an utter masterpiece that explores the life of a child named Ralphie as well as visualizing a period of vibrant happiness and Rockwellian beauty.
Directed by Bob Clark, the film flows like a constant stream of memories. Some good, some embarrassing, some bad, and some venturing into the surreal and the fantastical; the state of mind of Ralphie makes up the bulk of the story, as does his quest for his ultimate present of a Red Ryder Air Rifle. However, the film never becomes a character study, always finding ample screen-time for the…
This movie at one point way okay. Hell, I might even say it was good, but I have seen it so many times now that it is engraved forever into my brain and theres nothing I can do about it. Its almost as if I have grown a numbness to it. Watching it now makes me feel nothing. Its like listening to static at this point. I don't think I'm ever going to try to genuinely watch it ever again.
Pure Christmas movie perfection.
This used to play on cable TV repeatedly in the 80's when I was a kid which is where I discovered it. The best part is near the end when the dogs get the Christmas turkey and the family has to go to the Chinese restaurant instead, and their screams when the waiter cuts the head off of the duck at their table. I howled when I first saw this, still do.
I mostly relate to Flick, the boy whose tongue is stuck to a flagpole, because I did the same thing once. I strongly do not recommend doing that.
I literally was this kid growing up. My ability to connect to this movie made it enjoyable, but on almost every other front, it's just not...good.
Finally seen this and I see why this is considered a classic. Ralphie grew up that Christmas. A nostalgic tale about a kid that wants something for Christmas, and we all can relate to that.
It's a tradition at my house to watch this all day on Christmas. It never gets old. It's perfect.
I bought my little brother a Red Ryder BB gun for this birthday this year and of course whenever he takes it outside to shoot we all say "Don't shoot your eye out!
This captures childhood excitement for the holiday season better than any other piece of media that I've ever seen.
Fun fact: the kid who stuck his tongue to the pole grew up to be a porn star
