Milagro en la ciudad

James Remar brings a charming yet skeptical presence to the role of Jack Duff in the 1994 holiday classic "Miracle on 34th Street." As a professional hired by a department store to serve as the new Santa Claus, Remar's portrayal captures the essence of a world-weary cynic who is gradually transformed by the magic of the holiday season. His initial hard-edged demeanor and sharp wit provide a stark contrast to the warmth and belief in the extraordinary that the story embodies. Throughout the film, Remar's performance evolves, showcasing Jack Duff's gradual softening as he becomes an unexpected ally in the quest to prove the authenticity of Kris Kringle's claim to be the real Santa Claus. His nuanced acting, oscillating between pragmatism and a rekindled sense of wonder, allows audiences to witness a touching character arc that is both relatable and heartwarming, ultimately contributing to the film's timeless appeal and the celebration of belief over skepticism.
