The Polar Express

My general impression is quiet good, as I have passed the evening very nice watching this family Cartoon. I was surprised a little bit how the story proved the existence of Santa Claus. Even being a rather big boy the Hero was disappointed that his father usually dressed into the Father Christmas and brought presents himself. At that very moment the Polar Express arrived to his house. I presume that this train was coming for all children who stopped believing. The topical theme in the cartoon is believing. A lot of times the characters said that SEEING IS BELIEVING. Even in real life we know that there is no Santa Claus, we always should hope and believe in the best, as without it our life would be senseless and dark. If today a person has had troubles at work it is worth continuing working and hope in himself, on the contrary, he is a very unhappy and miserable person.Believing symbolically returns us back to the childhood making our life easier and lively.

The Nightmare Before Christmas.
As for me, I like the story, which tells us about a young man, who lives in his world of Halloween, where people do not know anything except for fear and every year they have only one holiday – Halloween, of course.
So, this young man wants to change his boring life, he wants to include sth new in their holiday and he suddenly opens a country of Christmas. And he decides to have this holiday in their country too… Unfortunately, everything ends disastrously, but at the same time very teaching for Jack and his fellows.
I think, this movie is called so, because the Halloween is before X-mas – FIRST OF ALL.
But maybe at the same time, it means, that somebody dared to spoil this national holiday, and for everyone it was a real nightmare.
As for the main hero, Jack, he is too self-confident. Of course, he is very famous, and he is proud of it. But we should understand him too – he is young and already knows everything, he is just bored with his life. He wants changes, and X-mas is an ideal change for him. Certainly, I completely disapprove his tryings to kidnap Santa Claus, his rude and reckless behaviour, trying to do X-mas himself. But on the other hand, he didn’t want to hurt anyone,Jack just wanted to entertain everybody, first of all himself.
Fortunately for everyone (but with awful consequences) Jack gave up the idea of mixing 2 holidays and giving awful presents to children instead of Santa Claus. He calmed down and began to build relationships with a girl, Sally, who played not a last role in this story.
I think, the main message is to do your own business and not interfere in others’ one.
