Blu Christmas Holiday Movie Asplosion 2022! ⛄ Chapter 42: Holiday Inn 🦌 Ugh. I want to like this movie more. It in theory *should* be higher on the list. But the fact is, no matter how good, entertaining, classic, etc the rest of the film is, it will be forever and always marred by racism. I don't care that it was literally 80 years ago, and that "minstrel" shows and blackface were still common, and supposedly accepted then. It was racism then, it's racism now. While I appreciate them doing at least the bare minimum by including a note about it at this start of the film (I added a shot of it), and and extra feature discussing it featuring mostly POC, it nevertheless is uncomfortable, unentertaining, and again, racist. I still fast forward through it every time. Okay, that aside, this is another that just came out on 4K this year, and the picture does look good, and, if not for the aforementioned problem, the movie would be a top notch classic. Also worth noting, White Christmas was written for this movie. 🌲 ❄️ 🎄 🎅 #HolidayInn #1942 #IrvingBerlinsHolidayInn #IrvingBerlin #BingCrosby #FredAstaire #MarjorieReynolds #VirginiaDale #LouiseBeavers #WalterAbel #WhiteChristmas #ForeverMarredByRacism #BluChristmasHolidayMovieAsplosion2022 #iLoveMovies #christmasmovies #holidaymovies #xmas #christmasspecials #holidayfilms #holidays #movies #christmas #iLoveChristmas #blurays #bluray #4K #MovieNerd #abluchristmas #christmasfilms #christmasmoviemarathon . https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm3BTZ6uIYJjtGD3hOp7QPsvp3WNLi13NCGrV80/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

[To be fair, I'd already entered the final stretch of true classics (and classics to me) with those last few animated ones, though this next one is a bit rough for the reason I go over each year...] 🎄Holiday Movie Asplosion 2020!🎄 ❄️Chapter 44: Holiday Inn❄️ ☃️ [Holiday Inn would be further up the list and a more highly bonafide holiday classic, were it not for the that godawful, unnecessary, and completely deplorable blackface number. It stops things short and sucks the joy out of it all every time (& I continue to fast-forward past it, every time). If it weren't for that moment of detestable racism, this would be a fairly glorious experience. Crosby's singing & Astaire's dancing though, magnificent.] 🎅 • • • • • • #HolidayMovieAsplosion2020 #iLoveMovies #christmasmovies #holidaymovies #xmas #christmasspecials #holidayfilms #holidays #movies #christmas #blurays (& some #4Ks ) #bluray #abluchristmas #christmasfilms #christmasmoviemarathon #HolidayInn (#irvingberlinsholidayinn ) #irvingberlin #bingcrosby #fredastaire #marjoriereynolds #virginiadale #walterabel #whitechristmassong #whitechristmas #happyholidaysong #happyholiday (aka #happyholidays) #1942 (at Jersey City, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIrwu-zjZQj/?igshid=15uel6lps3j74
