The Best Christmas Movies Of All Times
The obese boy gives Santa Claus a carved pickle. Santa Claus complains that it is not green. Bad Santa (Billy Bob Thornton) is a professional burglar and alcoholic. He suffers from depression and seems to end up. The boy, on the other hand, is not one of the cute kids you are used to seeing in Hollywood movies, but an annoying stalker. Then there's the dwarf who has been cracking safes with Santa for years, but is now annoyed by his constantly drunk partner. Like every year they strike on Christmas Eve, disguised as Santa Claus with his elf - but this year Santa Claus is particularly drunk. Terry Zwigoff's Christmas comedy (produced by the Coen brothers) looks like an insane, twisted comic - and we don't have to worry about a conventional happy ending. Every unwritten law of American mainstream cinema (which, for example, prescribes how an initially puking Santa Claus would be purged in the course of the story) - Twigoff's film tramples it underfoot. Billy Bob Thornton is allowed to rage, tear a reindeer to pieces and do it with a woman who suffers from a Santa Claus fetish. Bad Santa isn't only successful because he's different and bizarre, but also because he's funny until the end! Santa Claus (in real life Willy) and the elf (whose real name is Marcus) use the same trick every year. As a Christmas duo they get into shopping malls to break into them. But this year the security boss has his eye on the two of them... Willy is also distracted by his new girlfriend with the Santa fetish. Then there is the lonely fat boy who promises Willy on the head that he is not Santa (but still follows him on his foot from now on). The boy's parents are not present and that makes him unhappy. Probably this is his childhood. The desperate child and the drunken Santa Claus: Imagine families who accidentally end up in this film - frightening children and horrified parents! But what if these families didn't let themselves be shocked, but simply enjoy Santa Claus because it's a successful black comedy?
