No, this is not about the quality heart products like “Love Actually” or “Three Nuts for Cinderella”. And it’s not about movies with feral kids and other comedians either. This is about the sentimental commodity we encounter when we turn on the TV or Netflix. She can no longer be beaten. Truly mind-blowing madness. But he has so much system that he can really only come from an AI.
The usual romantic Christmas movie in this case is called “Falling for Christmas”, “A Castle for Christmas”, “Crown for Christmas”, “Last Christmas”, “Christmas at the Plaza”, “Christmas on Ice” and “The Noel Diary” . ». About “Last Christmas” I found out in the “Guardian” that firstly, Emilia Clarke plays the lead role, and secondly, the very dear Emma Thompson wrote the script. Perfect, I thought, an Oscar winner screenplay. The truth was different.
Clarke plays Kate, who suffers roof damage after an accident, so Michelle Yeoh hires her at her Christmas shop just out of pity. But then Kate meets the very sweet Tom (Henry Golding), who inexplicably has no cell phone and does charity work at the soup kitchen. Kate pairs her boss with a Scandinavian sauerkraut expert and raises money for the street kitchen while singing.
Unfortunately, she realizes that dream man Tom doesn’t even exist, or that he ever existed, but that the donor heart Kate received after the accident came from him. You shouldn’t wonder why the whole love story could happen at all, Kate just saw with her heart. And as the title says: «Last Christmas» by Wham! dominates the ear canal. But I admit: this ending is kind of weird.
The successful writer Sophie (Brooke Shields) is more modest in “A Caste for Christmas”: she writes romantic books, kills the most beautiful of her beautiful heroes in revenge against the ex, has to flee to Scotland, where she finds a beautiful but dilapidated castle with several strewn rooms and a not exactly unsightly but shabby owner. Driving together connects. How will that end?
Or “The Noel Diary”: Bestselling author Jake Turner (as “Page Turner”) writes romantic hams and lives stylistically correctly when his mother dies and he has to take care of her cute but dilapidated and littered house. Soon his former nanny’s daughter crosses his path, his dog intercedes, there are still a few puzzles to solve, but then…
Also nice is “Christmas at the Plaza”: historian Jessica receives a grant to prepare the history of the Christmas celebration in the Plaza Hotel in New York for an exhibition within a few days. Jessica chooses the obvious topos of the Christmas tree top. She finds all but one of the Christmas tree toppers in the history of the Plaza! The search for it leads to an adventurous Christmas candy store, with the help of Christmas tree decorator Nick, who is not gay…
Even the daughter and influencer of luxury hotelier Sierra Belmont (Lindsay Lohan) doesn’t really like her stupid fiancé in “Falling for Christmas”, you can tell right away. So it’s a good thing she suffers amnesia in a skiing accident and regains consciousness in the arms of a sober rival hotelier and single widower. Just in time to celebrate Christmas with him and his lovely daughter.
In “Christmas on Ice” (motto: “They found love in a frozen place”), single widower and ex-ice hockey pro Noah opens a huge ice center on the edge of an idyllic town just before Christmas. He threatens ex-figure skater Courtney’s outdoor ice rink. Fortunately, Noah’s sweet daughter takes figure skating lessons from Courtney and also rediscovers the excitement of outdoor skating…
Finally, in “Crown for Christmas”, single widower Max seeks a new nanny for his sweet but unruly daughter. He finds her. Unfortunately, Max is the king of a small kingdom in Europe that resembles Gstaad. Driving out together connects, disturbs a stupid almost fiancée from Luxembourg.
We learn: single widowers find the right companion in the heterosexual everyday Christmas movie, even though her name is Lindsay Lohan. Surely young men and women will find something better under their best friend, the Christmas tree, than their unsuitable betrothed. Accidents are guaranteed to lead to the right man, even if he turns out to be just a spare heart, the main thing is heart. Neglected castles and houses become real gems that will do well on the real estate market.
Christmas decorations are essential. Because it sparkles, because you can buy it, because at Christmas you can finally drown all taste inhibitions in a sea of tinsel. Dogs and horses are also essential. Metaphorical ice always melts. And writers have a particularly good time at Christmas, because that’s when life writes its best stories. But only if they have been successful before.
And so Christmas becomes a big orgy for people who worship the order fetishist Marie Kondo and can’t stand the chaos of reality: corpses are cleaned up, houses and lives are cleaned up, only snow is rarely cleaned up.
Falling for Christmas, A Castle for Christmas and The Noel Diary are streaming on Netflix.
