What can we learn from old movies? The classics represent a different time in America. This time was family centered. The humor is wholesome. Nostalgic music accompanies the story. Children show respect to their elders and if caught bullying, they have consequences.
Modern Christmas movies are disturbing. I find myself fast forwarding through sex scenes and bad language . . . ON THE FAMILY CHANNEL! Yesterday, I turned on White Christmas. The kids are more open to black and white TV because they have been introduced to it since they were young but they did protest the seemingly boring Christmas classic. There really is something about the classics though. What the movies lack in visual color, it makes up in song. They were fixated on the old Christmas carols and dancing.
It's a joke around here than when I am feeling down, we turn on I Love Lucy but it is truly therapeutic for me. Today, with so much focus on reality television, it's is comforting to stop, take a step back and visit a simpler era.
