La bataille de Noël (2021)
Twas The Fight Before Christmas follows the story of a North Idaho neighborhood turned upside down by one man's obsession with bringing Christmas cheer to all, through the biggest community Christmas event America has ever seen. Christmas-loving lawyer Jeremy Morris' plan hits a snag when the home owners' association informs him that the event violates the rules of the neighborhood. A contentious fight over the festivities erupts and things snowball out of control. As the situation escalates, the film asks the question, who wins when different rights and interests collide? Director Read pieces together the polarized perspectives in this quirky Christmas tale about freedoms, with a message about differences and tolerance at its heart.

    Makes you appreciate your normal neighbours after watching this

    Signs and symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder Grandiose sense of self-importance. ... check.

    Lives in a fantasy world that supports their delusions of grandeur. ... check.

    Needs constant praise and admiration. ... check.

    Sense of entitlement. ... check.

    Frequently demeans, intimidates, bullies, or belittles others... check.

    There you have it folks - the self-imposed "saviour" of Christmas.

    An ordeal to watch but timely portrait of delusional self interest

    Fairly well made documentary, which I guess is why we suffered the whole thing but it also had that accident you can't look away from feel. Lot's of interviews from the effected people, with some pretty intelligent commentary about the "villain."

    A sign of the times in that we have a guy who just wants to do what he wants, and the heck with everyone else in close proximity. Then, he hides behind the "personal freedom" and "religious discrimination" covers.

    I'm guessing this little film won't help his lawyering business but then, this is the U. S so who knows?

    This movie will make you think about what's really important in life

    There a several subplots within this story. One of them was Kristy Morris. It wasn't her idea to start the fight, but she also wants to be a good wife and support her husband. She is a brave woman who pays a massive price for that support. She talks about her family being forced into an existence of isolation, so many of life's experiences lost to time and facing down potential financial ruin with each court case. I felt sorry for her situation. I found myself wishing Jeremy would look into her eyes and perhaps see there are more important things in life than getting your way. But that didn't happen and at the end of this show, I felt sad for both Kristy and all the people living in that neighborhood. I hope all of them one day may find peace again.

    Wow

    This guy is nothing more than a bully. He didn't get what he wanted so went nuts. It wasn't about religious freedom, it was all about a spoiled brat not getting his own way. Hopefully people in that neighbour is ok with the crazy guy next door.

    Good doc. Entitled prick.

    This dude has no idea what it means to be a Christian. He's a poor man's Trump style bully.

    Most people LIKE holiday lights. He takes it too far. What does he really want? He's just a narcissist.
