(Archive) Christmas movie of the day: A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965)

All of this is poignant because the message o the short: the beauty of humility. In typical Peanuts fashion this is a tale where things don't go too well for Charlie Brown, but for once there's a silver lining for him. His simple contribution of a worn down tree is dismissed as a failure, but in the end it proves to be just the right thing for the Christmas play. Even if the message is delivered in the context of the religious tale upon which Christmas has been built, it is delivered in such a way that there's a universality to it. A man born from the most humble origins that still managed to change the world, which is analogous to that small tree.
And it also goes for the short itself. Made on a shoestring budget and executive disapproval, it had everything against it and yet it changed the world. It's resonant even today, and somehow it actually managed to disuade against consumerism. Seriously, aluminum trees? They were a real thing, it just happens this short utterly obliterated them in the popular eye.
I frankly didn't think much about it the first time I watched it, but I can see why it's so… touching. There's something powerful, even timeless, in the simplicity and humbleness of kindness.
