i really like the first two christmas and evergreen films
i was pretty relieved to find that titan's enjoyed third one was finally on amazon prime in the uk
i jumped to watch it and it was off to a slow start it took a little time to get going and i
have to say the protagonist is completely unlikable and i do not like her at all
but once the narrative got underway i found it to be pretty enjoyable this was released in 2019
directed by sean mcnamara and written by zach hugg our protagonist katie is played by maggie lawson
and i have to say the acting i have no issues with across the board that's the case but i
just feel like the character of katie i don't hate her but i feel like she's the
not the kind of person who belongs in evergreen and one could argue that that's the case people
visit there to experience a culture that's different from theirs and then they you know go
through personal developments and find that they do fit in but i just felt like never really would
fit in i wasn't really a fan of how the character was written nevertheless i like the narrative
katie goes to evergreen for a holiday but she is a writer and within about three seconds of
being there she decides that she's actually going to turn it into an article fair enough you look
for the work where you can find it and she begins to experience the evergreen that we've known and
loved throughout the past two films and the main event that's happening just now is a time capsule
that has been revealed that was created 50 years ago the 50th anniversary and on the 1st
of december the town are instructed if they find the time capsule to open day 1 and there are 24
i guess many time capsules inside this one time capsule and the film is all about the different
kind of tasks that are revealed and the the the glimpses into the past and i'm not going to
say any more than that and i will not say what the time capsule looks like but i will say wow
it is incredible i don't know who designed it i don't know who in the props um created this
or came up with the concept but i was pretty blown away i find it a little bit unbelievable
that it took them 50 years to locate this given where it is which you know you'll see um when you
watch the film which i thoroughly recommend you do but putting that fact aside i thought it was
beautiful it's an absolutely fantastic narrative idea of 24 glimpses into the past 50 years ago
because evergreen is a small community town or village i'm not sure which one it is
but because it's a small close-knit community a lot of the people who left the time capsule behind
still have children and grandchildren in evergreen so it's not just a glimpse into the past but a
glimpse into their own past and ancestry too also because of the 24 minute time capsules there's
a lot of festivities in this there's a lot of fabulous christmas joy and i absolutely loved it
definitely a fantastic narrative that's brilliantly executed slightly questionable
with how the time capsule remained unlocated for 50 years but it is still beautiful as i
said katie is a protagonist didn't really like her but at the same time she's not really at the
forefront of the narrative yes she's integral to the development of certain aspects of it
and certainly to the rom-com side of it but you could remove her from this and the narrative would
still be just as thrilling and beautiful so if you liked the first two christmas and evergreen films
which i hope you did um absolutely worth watching cannot wait to watch the fourth film i don't know
obviously when it will be out in the uk but i'm assuming hoping that it will be next year and
definitely um what i'm going to be looking out for but christmas and evergreen tidings of joy
is a pretty beautiful third evergreen film and one that i'm definitely happy to recommend
