El árbol de navidad

There is nothing bad about this movie, it is typical of the time it was made. I cannot imagine anyone who knows the plot and then decided to watch could expect or want anything else than that which was shown. Obviously some critics have issues. I wonder if they saw it v.o. or dubbed into English. All film d'époque are OTT and nothing is so subtle that any child could not understand it. This is not an intellectual adult movie, anyone who cannot see why actors did the movie should at least have the courage to ask before accusing them. There are also more messages (social and political criticism) than meet the eye and in this respect it is certainly more daring than the less subtle similar criticism Spielberg tried to shove into War of the Worlds which obliviously passed a hundred miles above the heads of the people it was directed at.

I have always seen that movie at each Christmas since I am 7. Few people know it but it is really worth to watch. That is according to me one of these little unknown treasures in the world movie collection.

I was a kid when I first saw this movie, and I cried. I was not a movie critic then (I'm still not), but I know that this movie really tugged at my heartstrings. I haven't seen the movie since, but I would like to. It was so interesting to me at the time, the unique way the father dealt with the impending death of his young son.

I saw this movie about thirty years ago and never forgot about it. I'd love to see it again but I haven´t been able to find it. The plot, actors and photography are great and it is the kind of movie I'd love my children to see.

I red the book when I was 11 and wanted to see the film . I liked it the same . Now I am 35 and I still like to see it sometimes . It's a good analysis of the characters . What would you do if a person you love very much have to die en six month . Bourvil is my favourite actor and it is one of his best role .
