La bataille de Noël

Hard to watch as the man in question is a bully, hiding behind his religion.

Those poor neighbours!

HOAs are a pain in the bum, yes, but that wasn't the issue - someone told him NO for once and he threw a hissy fit.

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.

I guess a lot of people on here don't understand how to rate films. You'll notice a lot of 1/10 - 5/10 votes from people not liking the "villain" of the film. Ya duh, he's a lunatic. That's kind of the point here. The film itself is a very fun and fascinating, albeit sometimes frustrating watch. It's a well made narrative about a bully playing victim, while abusing and destroying an entire community and something I think a lot of people can relate to in these times. Fascists are crying wolf all over the place, co-opting struggle and oppression as their own. The giddy glee this man takes from hurting his community under the guise of "helping" others is jarring and genuinely frightening.

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.

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.
