Love You Like Christmas Analysis

Anyone who follows my site and my twitter feed knows that one of my all-time favorite actors is Brennan Elliott, and in many ways, I have him to thank for bringing the enchanting Madison Brydges to my attention. He is the one who announced that she was portraying his daughter in the upcoming Hallmark film Love you Like Christmas, and I immediately contacted her for an interview. Quite ecstaticly, she agreed and shared a bit about how she got started as an actress, her current and upcoming roles, and her outlook and perspective on this business into which she has been jubilantly thrust.

RH: Madison, I am so happy we get to chat today.

MB: So am I.

Madison, how old are you?

I am twelve years old.

As I was looking up your works, I noticed that you have done some independent films before this upcoming Hallmark movie. Is that right?

Yes, I have.

This Hallmark movie is your first big movie, right?

Yes, but I have done a

So then I had to be homeschooled with a teacher. For Flatliners, I wasn 't there for several days in a row. I had to report to set on different days, so schoolwork wasn 't an issue.

It is great to hear that you value your school and try to keep your grades up. Some of the students I teach think they want to become an actor because it will be easy and they won 't have to go to school any more.

It 's definitely not easy! You might go to an audition, and you don 't get it. Then you might go to two others, and you still might not get it. Sometimes you have to go to lots of auditions before you finally get one. It 's really hard. When I was little, I used to think that I wouldn 't have to go to school any more if I became an actor. But now that I think of it, my school is really important. And if I keep up with school, maybe I 'll be able to become a better actor because I 'll understand more things.

Madison, what was your first professional job in

    I moved from San Diego, California to Derby, Kansas in the summer of 2017. I joined Derby Middle School, I hadn’t been to a real middle school before, even though I was in seventh grade. I was in online schooling with K-12 at home. I was new to multiple classes and teachers, assignments on paper, and I was new to a lot of people around me. When I joined Derby Middle School, I thought of it like nothing, thinking that no effort would get me through the year, I thought that my grades didn’t matter as long as I get C or higher.…

    With an abundance of new characters in “When Calls the Heart” this season, sometimes only the most observant viewers might notice the handful of smaller roles that pop up now and then on the show. I was immeasurably excited when I finally figured out who the character Katie Yost was, and once I connected with the actress who portrays her, Larissa Albequerque, I knew at once that I wanted to find out more about this young actress. Thankfully, she was able to set aside some time recently to chat about WCTH as well as give insight into the occasionally overlooked Katie Yost. What inspired you to become an actress? From the time I was 7 or so, I was fascinated with acting.…

    There is a moment for everyone where they realize their goals and aspirations. Once they do, nothing will stop that person from achieving their goals. For me, my whole life has led up to me pursuing a filmmaking career, and nothing is going to stop me. Film is one of many influences that made me the man I am today. In my pursuit to becoming a filmmaker, I have been blessed with friends that shared similar interest in filmmaking, opportunities to work on independent film productions as well as other short film documentaries, and motivations to be a smarter and better person.…

    Thunder strikes. A lonesome hearse rolls along a dirt road at dusk, Jacob Marley quietly laying inside. This is one of the many dramatic scenes describing the tale of, "A Christmas Carol," in the Patrick Stewart version. The Patrick Stewart version of the story "A Christmas Carol" was clearly the most effective out of the Muppet, the Novella, the play, and the Patrick Stewart versions because in the Patrick Stewart version, Ebenezer Scrooge, a heartless man of business who thrives of the despair of others, was more convincing than in the Muppet version, that he really disliked Christmas. The Patrick Stewart version was also more dramatic than the rest of the versions.…

    I don 't believe I have missed a single "Countdown to Christmas" movie this year on the Hallmark Channel nor its sister network Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. While I have my personal favorites, there is no denying that a massive hit this year was their film A Heavenly Christmas starring Eric McCormack, Kristin Davis, and the legendary Shirley MacClaine. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this film, and when I discovered that Gregg McBride was the screenwriter for this Yuletide treat, I quickly reached out to him for an interview. I was incredibly elated when he responded (and so quickly too). Gregg graciously agreed to answer a few questions about his passion for writing, his personal struggles in his own life, and even a bit about his future…

    Christmas is a Christian celebration of the birth of Christ, though it also encompasses Greek, Roman and pagan traditions of giving gifts and feasting around the Winter Solstice. It is a time when families and friends come together to share food and exchange gifts (web). In How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss and A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, the main characters, the Grinch and Ebenezer Scrooge, are similar to each other in many ways such as their awful personality. The Grinch is a green hairy who is very greedy, stingy, and a little evil creature. He wants nothing to do with the Whos, hates Christmas, and wants the Who 's Christmas spirit to be gone.…

    This past Sunday I attended the school play, which was a comedy based along the storylines of The Christmas Carol. I noticed many people from the community brought their children along for the comedy. For someone who doesn’t really care for plays, or Christmas it was somewhat interesting to go into the play having doubts beforehand and coming out of it with a different view. The exposition started off the same as The Christmas Carrol.…

    On the night of January 28, in 1985 in the 97th General Hospital at a United States Army base in Frankfurt, West Germany, is the birthplace of a man that would soon change the music world forever with his powerful array of lyrical meaning and word play. Also known as Jermaine Lamar Cole, J. Cole’s arguably most popular song, “Love Yourz” not only demonstrates palpable humility in which Cole compares the two types of lives he has lived, but also distress to a belief that this nation has built itself around, the American Dream. Rapping at the age of twelve, Cole’s love and passion for creating music has spurred him to become the harbinger of rap music in today’s society. Living with only his older brother, Zachary, his mother, and only the image…

    A Christmas Carol Critique

    The setting, lights, costuming, and actors worked cohesively to project a beautiful and whimsical adaption of Charles Dickens story. However, in my opinion, the most enjoyable aspect of my Friday night was the life lesson I grasped from sitting in the third row, investing myself in the storyline and the themes engraved deep in the script. A Christmas Carol, yet fun and lighthearted, was also courageously satirical for today’s politics, teaching society a valuable lesson about the responsibility of each man; to help those less fortunate with the fortune you…

    In the book The Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens there were multiple hidden, as well as obvious themes presented to the reader. One can have nothing and have it all or one can have it all yet have nothing was a theme Charles Dickens showcased within his book through multiple characters such as Ebenezer Scrooge and Tiny Tim. For example, on page 100-101 Bob Cratchit talks about how much he loves Tiny Tim and his positive outlook on life and on page 105 Tiny Tim says, “God bless us every one!” These quotes and pieces of evidence show us that you can have nothing and have it all. This is an example of you can have nothing yet have it all because Tiny Tim doesn’t have anything.…
