Introduction
"Last Christmas" is a romantic funny movie directed by Paul Feig, launched in 2019. The movie stars Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding in lead roles, in addition to Michelle Yeoh and Emma Thompson. The screenplay is co-written by Emma Thompson and Bryony Kimmings, inspired by the hit tune of the very same name by George Michael.

Plot
Emilia Clarke plays a young woman named Kate, who has a streak of bad luck and continuously makes poor choices. Living in London, she works as a fairy at a year-round Christmas shop run by "Santa" (Michelle Yeoh). Kate is fighting with the aftermath of a dangerous health problem, which has led her to a life of recklessness, rejecting her issues, and continually irritating her caring, anxious family.

The Encounter
One day, she experiences a boy called Tom (Henry Golding), who is exceedingly cheerful. In spite of their preliminary contrasting characters, Tom encourages Kate to heal her methods and look at life more positively, nurturing her to 'look up' and appreciate what's around her. Stimulates begin to fly as Kate slowly lets Tom into her life, and they both embark on a journey of self-discovery and love.

The Twist
However, "Last Christmas" includes a twist, as Tom mysteriously disappears for a long time, which leaves Kate puzzled and heartbroken. In her search for him, Kate learns that Tom remained in a deadly accident, and his heart was transplanted to conserve her life throughout her disease, therefore describing his extended absence.

Conclusion
Understanding that she was in love with the male who saved her life, this discovery modifications Kate's outlook on life. She starts to correct her wrongs, starting with reconciling with her household and helping others, becoming the generous recipient of a heart transplant turned donor herself. Framed with the spirit of Christmas, the film highlights the message of love, giving, and appreciating life, despite its ups and downs.

In conclusion, "Last Christmas" is not just a common romantic funny, but a movie with a deeper narrative on thankfulness, 2nd chances, and the power of love presented in a light-hearted, festive setting.
