I personally like how death freezes the mom, really shows how much he cares because he wants to know what SHE wants instead of what her mother THINKS she wants
"it's the expressions on their little faces I like" "A sort of a mix between fear and awe, they don't know whether to laugh cry or wet their pants" 😂😂 best Christmas movie ever
"I, after hearing evidence from a number of experts, including Mrs. Slipdry the midwife, certify that the balance of probability is that the bearer of this document, C.W.St John Nobbs, is a human being. Signed, Lord Vetinari. @Barthedanz "
In the lore, people generally don't understand he's actually Death Himself. Their memory buggers it up. Some don't even recall seeing anyone at all, while others might recall a tall and thin fellow with a really deep voice. Though children seem to notice since they know better.
@@DISTurbedwaffle918 not so much because they know better, but because children are less bound to the commonly accepted "reality" adults & society as a whole are. for example, if you say you've seen an alien irl people tend automatically default to thinking your crazy or lying. if your a kid, it's just your imagination. additionally if an adult or a kid that's more logical thinking then the rest where to see an alien they'd default to thinking that their hallucinating or that it's just a dream. if it's an entire town, mass hallucination from non-existent chemical leak. it would take them appearing across the planet, to multiple live news outlets and leaving enough definitive proof that even the various governments of the world can't cover up for a proper confirmation.
Halfway through the hogfather and absolutely adore the books so much, and yes he is. The books are so weird but you never really get lost on what is happening!
A shame they cut some of the dialogue when the watch men come over to arrest Death/The Hogfather. The reaction of that one guardsman when he discovers that Death has given him a really expensive crossbow in the book is really priceless.
Wishing Nobby's reaction was more of the "THEY HAD TO RIP THE (crossbow) REVIEWER'S ARMS OFF TO GET HIM TO LET GO OF IT!!!!" flavour of the book but otherwise wonderful.
The death of Terry Pratchett's Discworld in this movie is perhaps THE most accurate approximation to the grandfather/general Moros (Ancient Greek: Μόρος; personified spirit of impending doom), who is known to friends as Mor (russian: Мор; pestilence/epidemic), which we will see in English cinema. And this is the reason why the Russians are not so panicked about the grim reaper, he's a good neighbor after all, reliable and very punctual.
Remember this from the book? Try to make good impression master, don't say things like; cower brief mortal. ( actually, I can't remember th qoute right, or the right book)
