A Christmas Carol


Christmas is coming and, 
like always,
 Ebenezer Scrooge continues with his disdain towards this so celebrated date. He's very rich, stingy, and only thinks about money, consequently not allowing himself to have some emotion/feeling in his heart. Therefore he makes fun and abuses of those who enjoy Christmas, like Bob Cratchit his assistant and also ignores his nephew Fred. When his business partner dies Ebenezer is visited by 3 Christmas ghosts: from the past, present, and future. Each one takes the old and grumpy man in a "trip" that will help him reflect better about his passed life and choose what he'll do with his future.  "A Christmas Carol" is based on a Charles Dickens' book and its very faithful to it, all the events in the book are shown in the movie. Many people already know this story so I thought it was really interesting that they made a movie about it. I also liked that even though it might be considered a children theme, the movie was made in a way that I don't consider childish. I really liked it and would recommend to people of all ages.

  1. You're right, there are already several movie versions of this book, but even though I've seen them, I'm still curious to check out this new interpretation.
