Which Is the Better Christmas Movie: Babygirl or Nosferatu?
This December, audiences have two excellent stealth Christmas movies to choose from. But only one truly captures the holiday spirit.
For instance, she says, “I always knew the contents of my Christmas gifts.” And when her husband makes his way to Romania to deliver client papers to Count Orlok and secure his position at the real-estate firm where he works as an assistant, she begs him not to go because she knows already that the trip is doomed. But more importantly, I’d argue that Nosferatu is still a Christmas movie because it’s a story about overtly Christian themes and art while unraveling a yarn in which people act like assholes toward a budding prophet — which is, in fact, the same introduction that baby Jesus got to the world. One could interpret this as a man retreating into religious conservatism, but it turns out that Jacob’s Bible studies have led him toward a more fundamental lesson (one that probably would’ve struck close to home for Joseph when he doubted Mary’s whole “immaculate conception” story): Forgiveness is everything.
