Alexander Ludwig : Operation Christmas Drop (2020)

Now that’s what you call a man!!

[sumahi]

I organized four episodes of the podcast Fanachu! focusing on the Netflix film “Operation Christmas Drop” which was filmed on Guam and released earlier this year.

Operation Christmas Drop (2020)

I didn’t know Operation Christmas Drop existed until this movie, which means it earns points for teaching me something. The issue is, this isn’t a documentary; it’s a fictional story with elements of real-life sprinkled in. The characters and their drama become the least interesting aspect of this light holiday tale.

Congressional assistant Erica (Kat Graham) is sent to investigate what appears to be an egregious waste of taxpayers’ money. Every year, the US Air Force base in Guam airdrops gifts and supplies to the surrounding islands. Captain Andrew “Claws” Jantz (Alexander Ludwig) assures her it’s a training exercise that doubles-up as a humanitarian effort. She’ll need some convincing before writing her report.

Director Martin Wood could’ve begun the film with a “based on a true story” title card but decided not to. This choice was good. I had never heard of “Operation Christmas Drop” and was as skeptical as our heroine going in. Well, maybe not quite as much. I knew I was watching a holiday film, which practically guarantees a happy ending. The point is, as Andrew explains the intricacies of the operation – the way money and supplies are raised, where the drops are going, how everyone ensures it's all done by-the-book to avoid this kind of audit - you get sold on the concept. You want it to keep going. There’s no doubt “Operation Christmas Drop” will bring further attention to the mission, which has been going strong since 1952. Had I already known this, I would’ve known how the film would conclude even more than I already did. This would've greatly reduced my interest in the plot.

The main plot is about Andrew convincing Erica. On the side, there’s a developing romance between them. That’s nothing special. They don’t have the kind of chemistry necessary to generate intrigue. Their jobs pit them against each other but he wants her to join his side. What’s missing is an irresistible attraction that makes Erica wonder if she isn’t believing what she wants to believe. It’s obvious to everyone watching that the yearly airlifting of goods is beneficial, necessary, and 100% altruistic. How could it not be when the man in charge of them is practically a saint to the point of being boring? To inject drama, writers Gregg Rossen and Brian Sawyer must therefore resort to contrivances and artificial plot points.

There’s a built-in flaw with the film’s romance as well. She’s working all the way in Washington, DC. He’s in Guam and far too busy with the Christmas Drop to foster any kind of relationship – much less one that’s long-distance. This means the movie has an ending that makes you go “ok... but what now?”

Operation Christmas Drop does generate warm holiday sensations despite its flaws. There's no way it'll be anything you'll be compelled to revisit but as something you can throw on TV and have the whole family get together and watch, it gets a mild recommendation. (December 14, 2020)

I like military movies and I love Christmas, so this was a win win choice to pick. I really liked it. I like both leads anyway and I liked the story. It would be so cool to be a part of something that amazing in real life. Bringing happiness and joy to people who aren't as privileged as others. So nice.  I'm glad I watched it and will watch it again.

The @usairforce responded very quickly to my FOIA request on Operation Christmas Drop, by sending me 190 pages of stuff which have nothing to do with my request. For once, I have decided to take the diplomatic option and contact their FOIA public liaison. But the simple fact is that they can either respond to my request properly, or they can deal with OGIS and then a FOIA appeal, which will take a lot more time and result in them having to respond properly anyway. #operationchristmasdrop #hollywood #foia #foiabinladen #usaf #usairforce https://www.instagram.com/p/CKPn_0aplCS/?igshid=19ecits2rbnf6

Just finished editing the new ClandesTime, where I review three state-sponsored movies: Greenland (awful Gerard Butler vehicle with comets), Operation Christmas Drop (abysmal, racist feelgood family christmas movie) and My Spy (Kindergaten Cop with the CIA). It will be up on patreon this evening, and the Homeland Security episode will be up on my site tomorrow. #greenland #operationchristmasdrop #myspy #DOD #usairforce #CIA #guam #davebautista https://www.instagram.com/p/CIJVBaaJQb0/?igshid=14nyuhvwjh8u
