My Movie Argument: The Nightmare Before Christmas

My Movie Argument

What do you think? What would you argue? What theme do you think the movie is? Some people believe the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas is more of a Halloween and some people believe that this movie is more Christmas themed. In my opinion I believe that The Nightmare Before Christmas is more a Halloween movie. This statement proves to show that in this movie more characters shown/introduced are monsters that live in Halloween Town such as Werewolves, Vampires, Skeletons. What about when the director of this film specifically had the movie come out in October. In the end of this movie the main character Jack Skelington decided he was the pumpkin king and was happy for his holiday, Pumpkins are apart of Halloween.

    My overall thoughts on this movie were I found the death scenes to be brutal, fun, and one of a kind definetly more then intense then the original. At the same time a little more comedic, which took away most elements of fear for me. I was totally digging the death scenes, with how clever each one was. Most parts I had my eyes covered, which is another thing that gets me into a good horror film. Black Christmas had intese scenes of stalking as well giving it fresh unbelieveable views that somebody is watching under a bathroom tile.

But why is that, doesn’t Tim Burton still show the joy that Christmas brings, but in a slightly new perspective? Aren’t The Nightmare Before Christmas and How the Grinch Stole Christmas quite similar depictions of how some may deal with the “Christmas blues”? The Nightmare Before Christmas and How the Grinch Stole Christmas both originated as poems with rhythms similar to most Christmas poems. Tim Burton and Dr. Seuss both portray the cliché themes
