Review of The Christmas Card (2006) by Teri K — 30 Dec 2010
While this movie pretends to be a shallow dive into the lives of several two-dimensional characters living in a stereotypical small town, in reality The Christmas Card is deeply steeped in the religious politics of the Great Reformation.
Superficially lighthearted and rich in the holiday spirit, this movie retells the rebellion of Protestantism against the Catholic church. The heroine, innocent Faith, is intended to wed the inherently traditional and hedonistic Paul; her parents, who represent the proletariat, intentionally direct their Faith towards the new "code" (Cody).
Ultimately, The Christmas Card is a falsely playful romp in the politics of sixteenth-century Europe. All in all, a wonderful movie and a great one to watch with the kids.
