There are a lot of クリスマス films that are considered to be classics. This 記事 is to look at my personal favorite. My お気に入り might seem like a bit of an odd choice, but odd opinions are ones of the things that I'm most used to having. My お気に入り クリスマス film is the バットマン クリスマス film. あなた might be wondering what I'm talking about. I'm referring to 1992's バットマン Returns.
バットマン Returns might not seem like a film that would typically qualify as a クリスマス film. After all, it's a ゴシック drama that's directed によって Tim Burton. However, バットマン Returns happens to take place during the holidays, so it counts. A lot of people consider Die Hard to be one of the best クリスマス films, so why shouldn't バットマン Returns be 与えられた the same treatment?
バットマン Returns is the 秒 バットマン film to be directed によって Tim バートン and 星, つ星 Michael Keaton as Batman, Michael Gough as Alfred and Pat Hingle as Commissioner Gordon. New cast members include Danny DeVito as the Penguin, Michelle Pfieffer as Catwoman and Christopher Walken as Max Shreck.
The theme of バットマン Returns is outcasts. Primary examples include the ペンギン being treated as an outcast によって his own parents, Catwoman not being taken seriously によって anyone around her, and バットマン often being treated with skepticism from the citizens of Gotham.
バットマン Returns has a lot of smart commentary about how people shouldn't be treated によって outcasts. If ペンギン hadn't been judged for his freakish appearance and if Catwoman hadn't been taken for granted, they could have ended up being decent people. In that regard, it could be argued that ペンギン and Catwoman are tragic victims rather than monsters. That leaves Max Shreck as the real villain. He was 与えられた all the wealth and ファン that anyone could dream with, but he was still willing to risk people's lives to give himself and his son もっと見る power.
クリスマス elements that appear in バットマン Returns include the following:
It snows in Gotham City throughout the film.
Penguins are used for クリスマス imagery, so having the ペンギン be one of the main characters fits the theme of Christmas. Also, ペンギン has an army of penguins in the film.
Max Shreck being referred to as Gotham's Santa Claus. Max being compared to Santa symbolizes how he's a villain that is viewed as a hero によって the people of the city.
At the end, Bruce adopts a cat and goes into his car. Alfred wishes Bruce a merry Christmas. Bruce wishes the same for Alfred. He also wishes a merry クリスマス to all men and women.
Is バットマン Returns a traditional film? Not really, but that's not a bad thing. A lot of クリスマス films are sentimental and easygoing. バットマン Returns is a lot darker than your average クリスマス film. However, バットマン isn't a traditional hero. He's mysterious, socially awkward and doesn't always play によって the rules, but he remains one of the most heroic ヒーローズ in all of comics. Because of that, it seems fitting that Batman's クリスマス film would be dark, ゴシック and eccentric. However, the film isn't just intenseness and darkness. バットマン Returns serves as a meaningful reminder that we shouldn't take those who seem different for granted. The 愛 of the holiday season should be shared with all kinds of people.
