It was a different time. You could write a story about a home owner and it would come off as believable
You are though.

As someone who's upper middle class parents declared bankruptcy for this exact shit, I would say it's relatable.It's about a rich cunt building a swimming pool in the garden of his massive house with his Christmas bonus.
Doesn't seem very relatable to me.

That is like saying that this is the better film.You are though.

This is what I was about to say. And also a lot of people can relate to getting screwed out of money that they felt they earned. Christmas Vacation is my all time fav Christmas movie, it's hard to see it getting topped.If he were rich, he wouldn't have needed a Christmas bonus to build the pool.
"Can I refill your eggnog? Get you something to eat? Drive you out in the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?"
Can't believe we're all sleeping on Christmas Vacation II: Cousin Eddie's Island Adventure though!
Really, you don't like the movie because the main character isn't dirt poor?It's about a rich cunt building a swimming pool in the garden of his massive house with his Christmas bonus.

I wouldn't call that a hot take. That was pretty clear.
This is what the mindset has become for some on Era - fuck anyone who can afford anything. Can't even enjoy a movie because the main character wants to buy a pool, which is about as normal as it gets.
is this another version of "if you make 100k your rich"
i cant seem to find what size the house it, but its not a mansion.
that said in my searching i found that the houes was used in: American Beauty, ER, Moonlight, Pleasantville, Small Soldiers and lethal weapon.
And Clarks boss' house is the mansion from Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

100k is more then 5 times what I make. People on era are well off enough that they dont have to worry about food thats for sure.
Its a tale on the dangers of nostalgia as Ckarks attempts to recreate the family Christmases of his youth nearly drive him mad.
Its a great movie
They spent like a month with 4 extra people in the house. That's dumb and Beverly tells Clark it's dumb. Clark is just dumb because he desires some impossible family ideal far too much.
Exactly. The scene when Clark is stuck in the attic sets the stage for his mindset. The viewer see Clark watching all these home movies, and they too get nostalgic, but then everything comes (literally) crashing down and you're right back to the jokes. But the point is that Clark is imagining this fairy-tale Christmas like the movies show, but he is losing the context that the movies are just a snapshot of life, that they don't capture all the other shit that took place before and after the reel began to turn. Clark, like any typical American, has his head stuck in the clouds and has lost touch with the reality of the holidays and family.

I mean, I'm sympathetic to a degree, cause life here in this country is so shit for the vast majority of people, that even decent living standards and the ability to retire at 65 look like luxury these days. But some members here need to realize that this isn't the fault of ordinary people who luck out and manage to have a decent life. It all goes back to the fucking top 1% of earners and the megacorps that they run, which control our economy, our politics, and our entire damn existence.
Love the movie, love the boob window outfit, never realised I had a thing for prime Beverley D'angelo

Depends where you liveI'm guessing that there's a big difference in what white middle class boomers could afford back in the 80s vs what young people can afford today.
Oh I thought she was nude in Vacation. You might be right.yeah I think it maybe awoke some things for me back in the day, is it European vacation with the shower video?
He also invents a long life food preservative. Cookies are good for years and years and years!I always loved how Clark is a bonafied genius in the movie, based on his job alone. Seems to get overlooked.
"If you make 100k you're a rich cunt" is exactly the type of bullshit the people at the top want us to think too, to them both people (the 100k person and the 15-25k person) are exactly the same, dirt poor. Having us fight each other out here while they erode away at our society.
People need to get that garbage mentality out of here, it's like naw man, the only cunt here is you for holding that absurd opinion.
