Well, Christmas is almost upon us again. So I'm going to comment on a view Festive films. Starting with Scrooged:
I personally enjoyed this film, but after reading other user's comments on here for the movie, I guess you either Love it or Hate it.
Why do people get so serious about a movie ? Its just a comedy that pokes a little fun at the Dickens classic.
They mention that Murray's character of Frank Cross was hateful, spiteful, nasty, horrible etc. etc. ... That was the whole idea!! (You wouldn't have had a movie if he wasn't those things). Scrooge in the novel was horrible, spiteful, nasty, etc. etc.
Scrooged is funny, but it does hit on a few serious notes also. Especially when Frank is visited by Carol Kane's Ghost of Christmas Present.
Scrooged is the type of movie that no-one will ever agree on. They have their opinions, and I have mine.
I love it. The bit at the end where Bill Murray finally realizes what Christmas is really all about, is quite moving as he talks directly to the viewers about it. Then when the cast break into song, Murray urges the Cinema audience to join in with them. The cinema we went to, did! It was a great atmosphere with the cinema singing along with the cast. And it was near Christmas too, which made it all that little bit more special :o)
