There are a lot of 圣诞节 films that are considered to be classics. This 文章 is to look at my personal favorite. My 最喜爱的 might seem like a bit of an odd choice, but odd opinions are ones of the things that I'm most used to having. My 最喜爱的 圣诞节 film is the 蝙蝠侠 圣诞节 film. 你 might be wondering what I'm talking about. I'm referring to 1992's 蝙蝠侠 Returns.

蝙蝠侠 Returns might not seem like a film that would typically qualify as a 圣诞节 film. After all, it's a 哥特式 drama that's directed 由 Tim Burton. However, 蝙蝠侠 Returns happens to take place during the holidays, so it counts. A lot of people consider Die Hard to be one of the best 圣诞节 films, so why shouldn't 蝙蝠侠 Returns be 给 the same treatment?

蝙蝠侠 Returns is the 秒 蝙蝠侠 film to be directed 由 Tim 伯顿 and 星, 星级 Michael Keaton as Batman, Michael Gough as Alfred and Pat Hingle as Commissioner Gordon. New cast members include Danny DeVito as the Penguin, Michelle Pfieffer as Catwoman and Christopher Walken as Max Shreck.

The theme of 蝙蝠侠 Returns is outcasts. Primary examples include the 企鹅 being treated as an outcast 由 his own parents, Catwoman not being taken seriously 由 anyone around her, and 蝙蝠侠 often being treated with skepticism from the citizens of Gotham.

蝙蝠侠 Returns has a lot of smart commentary about how people shouldn't be treated 由 outcasts. If 企鹅 hadn't been judged for his freakish appearance and if Catwoman hadn't been taken for granted, they could have ended up being decent people. In that regard, it could be argued that 企鹅 and Catwoman are tragic victims rather than monsters. That leaves Max Shreck as the real villain. He was 给 all the wealth and 粉丝 that anyone could dream with, but he was still willing to risk people's lives to give himself and his son 更多 power.

圣诞节 elements that appear in 蝙蝠侠 Returns include the following:

It snows in Gotham City throughout the film.

Penguins are used for 圣诞节 imagery, so having the 企鹅 be one of the main characters fits the theme of Christmas. Also, 企鹅 has an army of penguins in the film.

Max Shreck being referred to as Gotham's Santa Claus. Max being compared to Santa symbolizes how he's a villain that is viewed as a hero 由 the people of the city.

At the end, Bruce adopts a cat and goes into his car. Alfred wishes Bruce a merry Christmas. Bruce wishes the same for Alfred. He also wishes a merry 圣诞节 to all men and women.

Is 蝙蝠侠 Returns a traditional film? Not really, but that's not a bad thing. A lot of 圣诞节 films are sentimental and easygoing. 蝙蝠侠 Returns is a lot darker than your average 圣诞节 film. However, 蝙蝠侠 isn't a traditional hero. He's mysterious, socially awkward and doesn't always play 由 the rules, but he remains one of the most heroic 超能英雄 in all of comics. Because of that, it seems fitting that Batman's 圣诞节 film would be dark, 哥特式 and eccentric. However, the film isn't just intenseness and darkness. 蝙蝠侠 Returns serves as a meaningful reminder that we shouldn't take those who seem different for granted. The 爱情 of the holiday season should be shared with all kinds of people.
