剧情介绍
The amazing story of a group of Jewish songwriters who wrote the soundtrack to Christmas.
"White Christmas," "Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer," and "Do you Hear What I Hear," these popular holiday songs and many others have created the essential music to modern Christmas. Many of them were also created by predominately Jewish composers like Irving Berlin, cultural outsiders in a Western culture who sought to make a living by writing to appeal to the majority audience that too often not accepted them. This film explores the lives of these creative masters, their creations and the culture they shared with dramatized musical performances at a Chinese restaurant with a Jewish clientele on Christmas Day. Thus illustrated, a story is told of how these musical outsiders created in song a secular conception of a Christian holiday that could welcome all peoples by celebrating values and hope far beyond religious differences.
苏格拉底咖啡的朋友推荐的，我们正好讨论了关于traditions的问题。1）（北美）犹太人圣诞节去中餐馆聚餐，热热闹闹的；2）所谓圣诞经典歌曲比如white christmas等大多数是犹太人写的，所以歌曲本身没有什么宗教元素；3）犹太音乐人为什么要写圣诞歌呀？Well当然是商机啦～4）犹太音乐人在发行圣诞歌曲的时候都把自己的名字去犹太化了（哈哈哈）；5）圣诞节在很长很长很长的一段时间里并不是基督教/天主教的主流节日，这一天可是要上班的；6）圣诞老人的驯鹿头头鲁道夫也是犹太音乐人编的：想想它与众不同的鼻子，以及犹太人的特点，嘿。
太有趣了也！
摩西给你们送礼了！
