When ever you think you have seen one mind blowing movie with characters worth individual attention, write a review on them! After the preview on the movie, I have decided that there are some characters in it worth having there own paragraph, hell they deserve their won movie, but since I can't do the latter please bear with this character sketch. Since I couldn't quite catch their names so I'll be using self made names. You are free to choose what to read, it can be long.
THE DOUBTER
This is the protagonist of this joyous and believable movie. A doubter, who has trouble believing in Santa. I would not blame him, he must have waited whole night hidden to catch the glimpse of the old man but didn't see him. He must have seen his parents put the presents under the tree when he hoped Santa would come in the night. He must not have a chimney (I'm kidding, he had one). The point here is, a child's mind is a fragile thing, when it withers and crushes under the pressure of fact like a flower due to disbelief in certain things one wanted so much to be true it is almost impossible to make it live again, notice the word 'almost'. This blogger may be irregular and uncustomary in his job folks, but he does know what crushed belief feels like. He's been there. So, to be back on track for the review, a train comes in front of his house in the night of an another dis-believable day. A the boy just being a boy, is curious what a freaking train is doing in front of his house, a conductor comes out of the train and explains that the train is going to the north pole to meet Santa. He just has to take the step, have faith and get in. He is first discombobulated to board it or not but he does get in, because how much ever he not believes in Santa he still wants to, he will do anything to help him restore his faith. A two way ticket magically appears in his pocket, he get's hot chocolate as refreshments served on aprons who can magically become tables without the need of a base. He even reaches north pole, see elves, accidentally goes into the grand bag of holding the presents but what really can heal him is seeing Santa with his own eyes. Do you realize how deep his wound was? After having all these experiences he is still having trouble believing!
He get's to see Santa, but first he had to really believe that he exists, which is ironical because he was told that "seeing is believing" and here he had to believe to see (see the previous review). The voice actor for this one is Tom Hanks.
THE LONELY GUY
This boy right in the picture might just be the biggest metaphor on the phrase "Christmas is for everyone", and to exercise the right to add, especially for the lonely ones. Just like every time, the train makes a stop at this boys' house, he too is uncertain to get on the train. Christmas just didn't work for him, until he decided to take the step and board the train. The whole journey he sits separately from all the other kids, like in the other coach separate. He does not think they are lower than him or something, he is just shy. But The Girl who believes (next paragraph) is just so nice to him. If someone can save you hot chocolate then that person is just the ultimate kind person you can have. This boy needed some friends ASAP and the doubter and the girl completed that for him. He lives in a home detached from the main town, with not much friends. He doesn't get to play in the snow with kids his age, make a snowman with them, play snow fight with them, because he doesn't have any. This kid is the perfect example and a message that Christmas can not be spent alone, Christmas is about sharing, sharing happiness, goofing around with your friends, sharing your expectations of presents. No one knew one train could change a man this much. No one knew a few metal containers on wheels could bring someone so much happiness and new hope.
THE GIRL WHO BELIEVES
Even though everyone in the train believes that Santa exists, this girl is the only wise one. That I think, can be wrong. This girl in the picture is the most kind and empathetic person in this world filled with hypocrisy and lies. This girl just understands what's it like to be lonely, and she surely knows how to get acquainted with anybody. She knows how to have fun, and make people have fun with her. She is the balance between the childish belief in Santa and being real for the world. She is the counter weight for the Doubter and the lonely guy, as there are not so Christmas-y thoughts in both the boys minds, she tries her best to lift the atmosphere up. She is greatly successful in it. She has the most unforgettable Christmas when she gets to have a drop in a bag full of presents for the whole world. Get's to see the workshop for making gifts and then get to see Santa, she still does not forget her friends, she knows how to share the happiness. The voice actor for the girls is Nona Gaye and she has done an amazing job of it.
THE CONDUCTOR
The first thing that comes to mind when you see him talk is that he is a trained conductor, he takes his job seriously and makes it a bit too obvious. He has practiced reciting what the train is called and where is it going. He is one expeditious guy who is wants everything to be well timed as well, of course it's Christmas, it's his job to make sure that every child gets to see Santa which is probably more important than seeing a blue moon.
The conductor may be putting child repellent cologne on him but he loves children, it's just that it bugs him if someone messes with his schedule, which children do a lot. He is like a coconut, he is very harsh with children if they mess up because he thinks it's his ultimate responsibility to keep the children safe and do his job to make their Christmas the most unforgettable one ever. He is even strict when it comes to punching tickets, in his perspective if the ultimate privilege of boarding the train is not being confirmed by the conductor you are not deemed fit to sit in the coach, but apparently you are allowed to sit in the engine if the engine masters decided to change the light bulb. You didn't expect him to throw a child off the train if he/she does not have the ticket? He even punches ticket in the most professional manner ever so make sure you don't fall for him when he punches your ticket.
*THE END*
P.S. These are not the only great characters of the movie, There is, of course, Santa, the great bearded grandpa with the gifts, and there is one guy who calls himself the king of North Pole, amazing character, it is a bit hard to not look out for these characters because they play a significant role in the movie, but still, make sure you understand the movie and make your Christmas more enjoyable! I didn't write about Santa because then it would be too long, my sincere apologies
