the two opera singer be such bad actor and i wonder if they be out of budget for some competent one . the lip synchronization be terrify . they do not bother at least watch some opera to see that a soprano can not possibly sing all those high note with her mouth almost close and relax like she sing christmas song in a family event . even kathleen battle can not do that . i wouldn not even want to talk about how ridiculously wwi be depict . honestly . people drown in mud in passchendale ( sp . ) and here we have get solid ground and tidy trench and healthy soldier and etc . bad dialogue ( i. e. i have lice ) . there be far too many fictitious character . people have shell shock . here and we have get plenty of character that seem like harry potter counterpart . a somebody else also state . not worth watch . extremely overrated and boring . by the time i watch half of it and i think it be an avant garde movie because it also seem so naive and but the director be clearly strive for a typical and joyful christmas film . and they fail .
