Elf

questions during elf (2003) - why would buddy want to travel to a large tower in new york, if while this was being filmed presumably 9/11 was occurring? - how was there “no christmas spirit”? like there were people actively excited for christmas??? - (said by one of my parents) has buddy ever thought he would become santa, as he and santa are bigger than all the elves? - why does the police officer say they had not seen any elves? they had just shown video footage of what they called an elf on the news? - how does zooey deschanel manage to make a crowd of new york people smile let alone sing? - how is a mere crowd of people, plus a few watching on tv, (that jovie makes sing a short song) enough to power the sleigh? - why is a children’s book press in the empire state building? - why does zooey deschanel not look like zooey deschanel like at all? - why didn’t the elves, the greatest toy makers on earth, create a bigger bed, shoes, and shower for buddy? it’s been 40 years?? - why is buddy still in school at 40? - do elves learn faster? - does buddy have a learning deficiency, or is he just not picking up what comes naturally to elves? - why did buddy not get a medical examination? he received a paternal dna test, but nothing to resolve the clear mental/medical issues to surrounding humans. - snow is highly reflective. why is the snowman (made of snow, like his surroundings) the only character to wear sunglasses? - does the snowman theoretically get bigger with each step he takes? or roll ig - what happened to the nun that just lost buddy? is she locked up now? - what is buddy’s real name? - how does being surrounded by everything and everyone smaller than usual stunt mental and physical growth? does buddy suffer from depression and or anxiety as a result of this? - how does returning to the human world, where everything is normal size, affect buddy’s mental health? - how would this movie have panned out if buddy’s dad had just lived in like a random city in iowa? - how would it have panned out if his mother was still alive? - how would it have panned out if walter was not on the naughty list? - was there a specific thing that landed walter on the naughty list? - why were there showers in the bathroom at gimbels? - how could jovie not hear buddy in the shower? - if gimbels really had a restraining order against buddy, how was he allowed in? - why would the boss at gimbels not know his employees? he would have hired buddy and therefore knew who he was. - why didn’t the elves find a place where buddy’s talents could shine? - do elves produce better toys, or do they produce toys faster than humans? does their smallness correlate to speed? - does buddy have a sort of immunity? he can travel through snow and frigid temperatures without showing signs of coldness or illness, and can eat gum off the streets of new york without catching an illness as well. could this immunity be granted by santa? - if santa has said powers, has he given any other protections to buddy? idk if there were any more but i’ll wrap it up and say - santa quotes good will hunting in this - and i have always been in love with charlotte dennen, NY1
