Write a short summary of what happens in the film
Let’s be honest. As perfect as we’d like Christmas to be, it’s often far from it.
All the organizing can feel like a marathon, getting your car stuck by the snow, fighting through packed shops, navigating family sensitivities… Because of all of that, Christmas can sometimes loose a bit of its magic.
But when you really think about it, putting the magic back into Christmas isn’t such a tough thing to do. All you need is the right attentions (and yes ! By that, we mean the right gifts).
So this year, make sure to keep Christmas wonderful with Orange’s amazing gifts collection.
Provide the full film script in English.
KEEP CHRISTMAS WONDERFUL
The film is a film in song, which presents various people preparing for or during the Christmas period. In this film, we’re going to see a multitude of characters take up in unison Andy Williams’ Christmas classic, ‘It’s the most wonderful time of the year’. This is strange, since all the characters are in absolutely hellish situations during this holiday season.
The film opens with Christmas in full swing. The musical intro begins, as we see a woman and her kids inside the car. The camera takes a rear tracking shot of the interior of the car, and reveals her husband pushing the car, which is stuck in the snow. He starts to sing the first words while receiving a face full snow thrown up by the spinning wheels.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
CUT
Shot of a little children’s choir that’s come to sing Christmas carols at the door. All smiles, they continue in unison: With the kids jingle belling...
Reverse shot. At the door, we find a woman wrapped just in a towel, visibly coming out of the shower. She’s surprised and above all extremely annoyed at having to listen to the kids in her state of undress. She joins in :
And everyone telling...
CUT
Outside, in a pretty snowy landscape, a young man holds a chainsaw and continues the song, looking rather pleased with himself. Suddenly, his expression changes. We get the feeling that he’s panicking as he holds the last note ...you be of good cheeeeer !!!
Reverse angle. We discover that the imposing fir tree that he’s just finished cutting down is tipping in his direction rather than away from him.
CUT
A young man, up a ladder, is pulling the last string of Christmas lights onto the roof of his house. Down below, his girlfriend, singing, puts the electricity on a bit too early. It’s the most wonderful time…
The young man receives an electric shock that throws him exaggeratedly right into the airs. Still flying in the air and smoking, he continues singing. …. of the yeaaaaaaaaar !!!!
CUT
Shot of a TV screen. A female weather presenter, dressed in her prettiest Christmas outfit, sings and smiles as behind her the weather map indicates a cataclysmic snowstorm.
It’s the hap-happiest season of all...
The camera now shows us a woman held up in an airport watching
the weather update. She appears bored while everyone in the airport is sleeping. Outside, it is indeed the blizzard of the century.
CUT
A Father Christmas in a shopping center Santa’s grotto sings with a screaming child on his knee. His helper takes away the child once the photo’s been taken, and replaces it with another, who screams even louder than the one before.
With those holiday greetings...
CUT
At Christmas dinner, a teenage girl sings to camera as adults argue fiercely, throwing the contents of their glasses into each other’s faces. ... and gay happy meetings...
CUT
A man disguised as Santa Claus is clearly stuck in a chimney flue. He sings / shouts : When friends come to caaaallll !! The camera shows us firemen destroying the chimney with sledgehammers to free him.
CUT
A man admires the enchanting display of his neighbourhood’s Christmas decorations, while singing. He takes a step and slips on the ice. As he slides down the crazy long icy steps of the stoop in his back, he continues to sing:
It’s the hap-happiest season of aaaalll !!!!!
CUT
A young man appears in his kitchen hidden under a white towel. The shape looks like a ghost. The young man lift the towel up and we discover at his sick face that he ‘s doing an inhalation. He sings with a sick voice.
There’ll be scary ghost stories...
CUT
A father cuts his hand while trying to open an oyster. We next see him in A&E, lined up next to a string of other dads all with bandaged hands. They sing in unison:
And tales of the glories of…
Christmases long, long ago
CUT
A supermarket on Christmas Eve. All the shoppers in interminable queues for the tills (and even the blasé cashiers) take up the song together.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year...
Finally, these really great examples of fails in the warm festive atmosphere come to an end with a last sequence, in which all our characters appear one after the other opening their presents.
We understand why these people sing in unison that Christmas is a marvellous moment, since the film offers up this finale where numerous characters seen in the film unwrap their Orange gift with true incredible wonder.
It’s the most wonderful time of the yeaaaaaaaaar !!!
Super
KEEP CHRISTMAS WONDERFUL
