The classic film gives viewers a glimpse of what the holidays were like in the good old days, when people understood it. cert meaning of Christmas: that children deserve to get the firearms they so long for. Jokingly, it’s a satire. Or at least that was part of it Sam Kashner takes a 2016 Vanity Fair article:
Well when A Christmas story was released, in 1983, we suddenly had a new kind of holiday film, which recognized, even liked, “unbridled greed”, commercialism, disappointments, hurt feelings and global bad luck which, in fact, often defines the cheerful season. In other words, how was real Christmas to royal families. It sparked an explosion of satire and realism, wrapped in a fun and perfect story of a middle-class family negotiating the dangers of Christmas, remembered through the eyes of a nine-year-old.
And thanks to the soft focus, warm colors and vintage set design, to say the least, A Christmas story is a decent one ambient film to have in the background while cooking, opening presents, or doing other things at home during the holidays.
