Julie and Stuart’s actual romance is the least convincing, but that’s irrelevant because Moore comes across as so charming. And Julie and Stuart have to reckon with the pressures of fame and social media, as well as the inherent privilege that comes with success and money. Hers is an old story - crush playing hot and cold, making it impossible to figure out whether there’s actually something there - finally told through a new lens. The others venture into relatively new territory, as Dorrie’s frustrations aren’t at all tied to her sexuality. The first and last of those storylines are mostly disposable, apart from a sweet jock (Matthew Noszka) who competes with Tobin for Angie’s affection, and Billy (Miles Robbins) as Keon’s über-chill manager. And in the thread that ties them all together, Keon (Jacob Batalon) prepares to go to any lengths necessary to throw the best Christmas party of all time. ![]() In the last, Julie (Isabela Merced) has a chance encounter with pop star Stuart (Moore), whose life seems charmed in comparison to hers she’s been accepted into Columbia University, but can’t imagine leaving her ailing mother behind. In another, Dorrie (Liv Hewson) struggles to balance her crush on cheerleader Tegan (Anna Akana) with her concerns for her best friend Addie (Odeya Rush), who worries her boyfriend might be cheating on her. In one story, Tobin (Mitchell Hope) pines after his longtime best friend, Angie (Kiernan Shipka), who doesn’t seem to return his romantic affections. Based on Maureen Johnson, John Green, and Lauren Myracle’s intertwined anthology Let It Snow: Three Holiday Romances, the film (written by Kay Cannon, Victoria Strouse, and Laura Solon, and directed by Luke Snellin) goes through ups and downs in accordance with its respective storylines’ strengths and weaknesses. The movie, now on Netflix, falls neatly into the time-honored tradition of holiday-based ensemble romantic comedies ( Love Actually, Valentine’s Day, New Year’s Eve) as it follows a group of young adults and their respective romantic woes through the Christmas season. That charm is Let It Snow’s secret weapon. His voice exudes the kind of ease and relatability that other would-be leading men would kill for. From the film’s first moments, in which Miles mumbles along to “ Sunflower,” Moore is magnetic. Let's hope that we can avert global warming so we don't have to listen to people who write such negative songs.Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is a revelation for many reasons, but even beyond the dazzling animation and deft storytelling, Shameik Moore’s vocal performance as Miles Morales stands out. ![]() Just like saying good-bye, it won't be fun at all.īy the end of the song, we are left disgusted with his depressing, nihilistic, bitter attitude about things. It will be one long, horrible, drawn-out apocalypse. He's being sarcastic-he really just wants to be alone because humanity disgusts him now.Įventually all the flames from the aforementioned magnifying glass effect will cease, as they will be extinguished by the ever-rising water level. More sarcasm from a very bitter survivor of the "heat holocaust". These lines remind me of the commercials for the movie "The Day After Tomorrow". Only because there is no energy to power them anymore.Īt best, wishful thinking. He's being sarcastic because he's bitter over what has happened to the planet-'well since everything's in flames, I can at least make some good popcorn!' Also, this line explains why "the fire is so delightful". Wishful thinking at its best, but then again he might be delusional because of the extreme heat. Because the excess water caused by melting polar ice caps has covered most of the land. He explains why it's "so delightful" in a few lines. Remember setting ants on fire with a magnifying glass when you were a kid? Neither do I, but that's what will happen because of global warming, except, of course, it won't be just ants that are the victim. Some places used to be so full of snow, and now look at them. ![]() My InterpretationI think this song is about living in a post-apocalyptic, post-global-warming future. Walking in a winter wonderland (let it snow) I know, but if you'll really hold me tight (so tight) You know Johnny, you're the king of Christmas?Īnd since we've no place to go (nowhere to got)īut you can do the job when you're in town
