My favorite movie

Greetings! Today I’m going to talk about my favorite movie.  It is a very important movie to me because it represents part of my twisted childhood, I first watched in 2005 I think, in my house. It is called “The Nightmare before Christmas”(1993) directed by Henry Selick and produced by the famous Tim Burton (He isn’t the director but people usually think he is). Also the music was made by Danny Elfman, a talented composer and singer. In fact, in the movie he provides the singing voice of the main character.

The Nightmare before Christmas is one of the first stop motion film (This means that the characters and the scenarios were made in real life with a lot of materials and manipulated objects, but they appear to move by they own thanks to a sequence of photography’s).

What is this movie about? The plots centers in a Halloween world and in Christmas world.  Cute citizens (vampires, monsters, creepy dolls, witches, etc.) work all the year to prepare the scariest holiday ever: Halloween. They have a leader, “The pumpkin king” who is the king of the town. His name is Jack Skellington and he is a living skeleton.  He is tired of the same routine every year and one day in the graveyard he gets into the wood and he finds a portal to the Christmas world. Fascinated with all the things that he saw in that new world, he returns to his world and tries to create his own Christmas usurping the role of Santa, provoking a real chaos in both worlds.

Why do I like the movie? I love the esthetic of the film, the cuteness and love in the characters and the entire plot.  This film taught to me a lot of beautiful things about fears, dreams and the true meaning of love. Exceptional soundtrack too!

I really recommended … hope you like it!
