Review of A Christmas Story (1983) by Dylan D — 10 Sep 2014
A Christmas Story is not only one of the best films of the last several decades, it's also one of the best films of all time, period. It captures the spirit of Christmas from a child's eyes as no other film has.
Many have tried, but only this one has completely and unequivocally succeeded. Its simple, honest story is framed around a boy and his quest to obtain his ultimate gift. The film ends with the family sharing dinner together, representative of part of the true meaning of Christmas.
Despite all the ups and downs of Christmas day and the entire holiday season, the film concludes with the symbolism that, no matter the odds, the joys, the sorrows of Christmas or any other day, it is family that matters most.
