The Grinch

firstly i liked the film as an extravagansa of a movie, especially jim carrey's OTT performance.the look of the film is perfect.a winter bound fairyland.our dream reality of christmas. the plot hinges on the nasty old grinch finding the error of his ways and embracing the lifestyle of the whovilles. however why did he become so nasty is explained throughout the film with the little girl emphasising that, for all his meanness he embodies the spirit of christmas more than the money obsessed whoville's.. secondly the film has an inner message-racism!!! the grinch was excluded from the start purely because he was different. admittedley a thorny charactor but he did try fitting in , especially when he made the christmas present, which was so dramatically thrown back in his face. and resulted in him going into exile. so is it people's personalities that make them the way they are or other people's perceptions of those personalities. anyway 7/10. a good way to spend an afternoon.
