[ESP-ENG] Recomendación Semana 7: El Caballero de la Navidad // Recommendation Week 7: The Christmas Knight

Before I start talking about today's film I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas, may God the father be with you on this day, remember that we commemorate the most important birth in history, the birth of our saviour; I wish you all an excellent quality family time and lots of fun.

As we have been doing for several weeks now, today I want to bring you my recommendation of the week, for me the 25th of December is for eating reheated food and enjoying Christmas movies, but there is one that since its premiere can not miss on my list of the 25th, it is Christmas Knight.

This movie was released in 2019, it encompasses the genres of romantic comedy, fantasy and time travel; it stars Vanessa Hudgens and Josh Whitehouse and we can enjoy it on the streaming platform Netflix. This beautiful Christmas movie has something of fantasy as the protagonist is a medieval knight who because of a sorceress who is in the forest is transported to the present time, at the time that this strange episode occurs he meets a sweet teacher who decides to help him, take him home and provide support while he can return home. This beautiful teacher has lost hope in love, but all the adventures she will experience with the soldier will make love blossom between them.

This beautiful production is ideal to share with the whole family including children, as it is very innocent and with a very Christmas atmosphere, highlighting beautiful landscapes with snow. Although it has a mystical touch that turns out to be false, we can see important values such as solidarity, although Brooke did not know the soldier, she ran over him and did not hesitate to help him, to give him a place to stay, money, while he managed to remember how to go home, because she thought that with the blow he had forgotten how to return.

On the other hand, we must not forget that in the movies everything is fiction but sometimes things can happen to us in a similar way, Brooke was very disappointed in love because her ex had practically betrayed her and that led her to stop believing in love and focus on other things, but in one way or another the universe conspired for her to meet this soldier and without realising it she could believe in love again. That is why, no matter what happens, we must never lose faith, because when we least imagine it, that miracle can happen.

However, I must make a criticism, or at least I think the mysticism part takes away a bit from the essence of the film, I mean, I think it's unnecessary. Still, it is a beautiful film and it has become my favourite 25th of December movie, so if tomorrow's plan is to stay in bed in your Christmas pyjamas eating reheated food, I recommend you to watch this amazing film.
