真爱至上Love Actually

❤️关键词：温情

“我有一种预感，如果用心寻求，你会发现，其实爱无处不在。”

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

The 2003 British film is probably the most favorite Christmas film for a number of people. In China, it was marked 8.5 out of 10 by over 300,000 viewers on Douban.com, a rating platform in China.

The film has a stunning cast. Directed by Richard Curtis, it collected many stars familiar with the international audience, such as Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, Emma Thompson and Keira Knightley.

It is made up of 10 separate but interlinked stories depicting lives of different individuals of varying ages and professions. The theme, however, of all the stories is love.

Many people who watch the film every Christmas say it reminds them about how great it is to love and be loved. After all, "love actually is all around."

"Whenever I feel upset with the world, I will think of the arrival terminal of Heathrow Airport. Some may say the world is full of hatred and greed, but I don't agree with it. I think love is everywhere. It may not be so dynamic, but it’s always there."

小鬼当家Home Alone

“请你告诉圣诞老人今年不要送礼物了，就把我的家人送回来就行了。”

"Would you please tell him that instead of presents this year, I just want my family back."

Christmas could be about love, but it is also about family. For many of the Chinese born in the 1980s and 1990s, "Home Alone" was their first encounter with a foreign festival which then became a fond childhood memory.

It was introduced to China in 1997 among a number of Hollywood films. Kevin McCallister, an 8-year-old boy played by Macaulay Culkin, was the hero of many children during that time.

Kevin's schemes to trick and trap the burglar duo are of course hilarious, but at the end of the film, the family's final reunion on the Christmas Day is a touching and heartwarming scene for many to remember. 

"This is a truly classic series, and I don't even remember how many times I've watched it every year. It's so fantastic, with lots of fun."

西雅图夜未眠Sleepless in Seattle

“所谓命运不过是托辞，因为我们无法忍受所有事情的发生都是偶然的这个事实。”

"Destiny is something that we've invented because we can't stand the fact that everything that happens is accidental."

“你每天都在做很多看起来毫无意义的决定，但某天你的某个决定就能改变你的一生。”

"You make a million decisions that mean nothing, and then one day, you order take-out, and it changes your life."

Directed by Nora Ephron, the romantic comedy was produced in 1993. It stars Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. It was a commercial success at that time, grossing more than 227 million U.S. dollars worldwide.

For many Chinese people, the film made Seattle one of the most familiar U.S. cities besides New York City and Washington D.C.

In a 2013 Chinese film "Anchoring in Seattle," also a commercial success, the Chinese audiences recognized without any difficulty that many scenes and lines were designed to pay homage to the classic love comedy. 

"The Empire State Building (in the film) helped achieve, for the very last time, 'love at first sight' in the 20th century."

缘分天注定Serendipity

❤️关键词：命中注定

“就像《教父2》那也是一部很好的电影，甚至可能比《教父1》更精彩。但你无论如何仍要回头去看第一部，不能跳过去，否则就是难以释怀的遗憾。”

"Godfather, Part II. That was an incredible movie. Might be better than the original, all right? But no matter how much you love The Godfather, Part II, you still have to see the original to understand and appreciate the sequel, don't ya?"

Another romantic classic that fits perfectly into the festive atmosphere is no doubt "Serendipity." In the beginning of the film, the main characters of the story encounter each other while picking Christmas presents.

The film is a perfect explanation to the word "serendipity" which was voted one of hardest English words to translate in 2004 by a British translation company.

With all the twists and turns, it still has a happy ending, which makes it a perfect holiday movie. 

"What if I could be as brave as they were in my own life..."

恋爱假期The Holiday

❤️关键词：英伦情调

“不管换了几个新发型、去健身或是和姊妹淘喝酒，你日日夜夜都仍在回想着每个细节，纳闷自己到底哪里错了，哪里误解了。最后自问怎么会把短暂的欢愉，错当成永久的快乐。”

"It doesn't matter how many new haircuts you get or gyms you join or how many glasses of chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends, you still go to bed every night going over every detail, and wonder what you did wrong or how you could have misunderstood. And how in the hell, for that brief moment, you could think that you were that happy?"

Speaking of love and romance, "The Holiday" can not be left out. Directed by Nancy Meyers and starring Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, Jude Law and Jack Black, the film created another dream-like love story for the audience, especially for those injured in relationships.

Interestingly, in recent years, with the rise of social media, people have found something new about the film.

Besides the love story, the different styles of homes – modern American villa versus British countryside cottages – as well as the home-exchange way of tourism gained the film a lot of new fans who enjoy home decoration and homestay hotels while travelling. 

"Highly recommended for those who are lovelorn."

圣诞节夜惊魂The Nightmare before Christmas

“亲爱的朋友，如果你不介意，我想要坐在你身旁，一起凝视星星，直到永远。”

"My dearest friend, if you don't mind, I'd like to join you by your side, where we can gaze into the stars. And sit together, now and forever."

There are plenty of Christmas-themed animation films, but this one is still frequently mentioned even today. It is a 1993 U.S. stop-motion musical directed by Henry Selick.

The film could be a guide of how to celebrate Christmas in a Halloween style. Jack Skellington, King of the "Halloween Town" accidentally stumbled into the "Christmas Town" and was amazed by everything that is unfamiliar to him.

Most of the viewers were amazed by its wild imagination and unexpected surprises. It could bring a different flavor to the festival dominated mainly by love and romance.

"The Chinese translation of the film is misleading. The film itself is not terrifying at all, but rather warm and sweet, which is good for the entire family to enjoy."

No matter which film you are about to watch (again) tonight, 

don't forget to make a wish.
