A must watch movie that I recently re-watched was the movie How the Grinch stole Christmas. To clarify this is the Grinch movie with Jim Carrey in it. And may I say this movie is Iconic. I rate it Good, Good simply because of the message of the movie along with the fact that Jim Carrey Is in it. I haven't seen the newest version of the Grinch so I don´t know exactly which Grinch movie is the best. To the best of my knowledge Id say that the Grinch movie that is the best would be How the Grinch stole Christmas from the year 2000. If anyone is interested in re-watching the movie go steal your friends Netflix password because that's where you can find it for free.
The movie has some relatable themes being, The true meaning of Christmas is the value of family over the materialistic side of receiving gifts. This is shown in the movie when the Grinch steals all of whovilleś gifts after Santa (spoiler, their parents) put all the gifts under the tree and the Grinch along with his sidekick Max takes all of their presents. The town of whoville wakes up on Christmas day to find no presents, rather than sulk in their sadness they start singing around a tree and talk about the meaning of Christmas. This lesson is valuable to all ages, since family and friends will always be more important than gifts.
Looking at the movie How the Grinch Stole Christmas from a cosmetologists lens the movie is ahead of its time. The movie had Jim Carrey completely change his appearance in an unrecognizable way in the year 2000. In today's world this transformation would be fairly simple although the techniques the cosmetologists used in 2000 effectively worked to change the appearance of a well known Hollywood actor. I 2001 the Movie won an Academy Awards for Best makeup. I believe because of the hard work the cosmetologists did for the movie and the theme in the movie this makes it a good, good movie.
Great focus on the makeup/themes of the film. Your thematic evaluation is positive AND provides strong evidence. I like the idea or bringing in a lens, but remember that academic/journalistic writing have different purposes. Funny tone (re: Netflix passwords). Would have liked a bit more evaluation (in terms of what makes this movie so good). Strong crediting of artists and context.
