I went to watch the “Nightmare Before Christmas” last Friday even though I’ve seen it probably every year. Every time I watch it, I still have the same belief that the message of movie is about doing what makes you happy. In the beginning, everyone was praising Jack and halloween, but Jack himself wasn’t content with how he was doing Halloween. For him, it was simply just a repetition of last year and the year before. When he discovers Christmas however, he’s actually esctatic and happy about it. This was the first time in years that was he was able to encounter something different from Halloween, so of course he’s going to be checking out all of Christmas town. His love for halloween however, makes him think everything in Christmas town was supposed to be scary. In that instance, he loved Halloween and the idea of Christmas that he decided to combine them together. He isn’t upset by the idea of Christmas or that Santa is still content with his job, but is instead happy that he’s able to do something new and strange. Towards the end of the movie, when Jack is in the graveyard. He wasn’t even upset at himself, he was upset that his version of Christmas failed and the people in the town wasn’t excited about it. This scene is monumental to the entire film because Jack had fun making Christmas and doing something different, and was willing to do it again on Halloween.
