Why I despise Miracle on 34th Street... [View all]

This is the original one with Natalie Wood. I've not seen the remakes.

The little girl is the perfect skeptic. She wants facts and not myth. The mother has taught her fact and not myth. Santa Claus is a myth.

It pisses me off that they take that skeptic and turn her into a myth-believer. They don't want her to believe in reality or facts.

I hate it.
