Bardzo dobre podsumowanie....😊

The 1951 movie version of "A Christmas Carol," called "Scrooge" in the U.S., stars Alastair Sim and was directed by British Director Brian Desmond Hurst. It is an absolute marvel. In this movie, the Ghost of Christmas Present does in fact reveal the two children that he protects--Ignorance and Want. (One of the commenters had said they had never seen this passage of the book presented in any of the movie versions.) Also, as I heard in another historical account, Dickens father was at one point sent to a Debtors' prison and Dickens, as a teenager (14-16?), was forced to work in a workhouse that produced shoe polish to help work off his father's debt. Even after his father was finally released, Dickens' mother would not let Charles stop working in the workhouse for another 2 years, for which he did not forgive her. So Dickens had first-hand experience with poverty, family indebtedness, poverty, and being forced into under-age labor for years in a workhouse.

The invention of Christmas?! Bah Humbug! What an inappropriate absurdist title! And that Charles Dickens, of whom much can be credited for his Victorian contribution of the celebration of Christmas, would surely disapprove of laying claim to “inventing” the Christian holiday! There’s something to be said for the humble birth of a Jewish babe laying in a straw-filled manger in a Bethlehem stable! As great as Dickens was, his is not the greatest story to be told at Christ-mass.

How long did it take Dickens to recoup the costs of the elaborate book design and start making a profit on the book?

I just finished watchin *"The Man Who Invented Christmas"* , and it seemed that the ghosts not only redeemed Scrooge but also Dickens, who had his own past with his father.

Excellent upload, A Christmas Carol is my favourite book, and the musical version with Albert Finney the closest to it I have ever seen. Nothing can touch it and Finney's Scrooge is how I imagine Charles Dicken's intended.

best christmas documentary, watch it every year

I watch every version of A Christmas Carol movie. I enjoy “Scrooge”, made in 1951 starring Alistair Sim. Of course reading an illustrated A Christmas Carol adds to the fun!!

At 16: 00 begins what's happening now. Things of today, are from yesterday. To solve todays problems of children, if you can't afford them , don't have them.

Theirs always the , lost in translation.

I like that discussion with Patrick Stewart about the lines Bob has regarding dinner. But, think about it. That was probably the most meat they had all year, and it was cooked so well that everyone had some and there was some left over. I've cooked a goose (never again!) and it is not an easy thing to keep it all evenly cooked.

I share the same birthday as Charles Dickens. February 7th

ACTUALLY GOOSE AND NOT ONE MENTION OF TURKEY!!

A GREAT VIDEO IF ONLY THE RESOLUTION QUALITY WAS DECENT!!

This was very interesting indeed. I really enjoyed it. I do wish the ending hadn't been cut off lol. Tyfs God bless you

Charles Changed the world and the christmas forever!!! Ignorance and poverty, two things who rule our current society

Classical composers wrote much Christmas music way before Dickens was born. Bach wrote the Christmas oratorio. Look for videos on medieval Christmas music.

Yeah, right. Historical revisionism on steroids.

FUNNY FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS WHEN I WAS YOUNGER IN THE 1970’s we did CAPON for Christmas Day!! I believe about four years! Yes it’s a Neutered CHICKEN

.

Scrooge a favorite story I watch several versions each year On You Tube someone made a Scrooge story using Thomas choo choo characters Called The Stingiest Train in Town You’ll like it very creative

I remember this book and it's a classic book.

I remember this book and it's a famous book.

Scrooge also doesn't let the fire to be stoked up with more coal. no wonder he had got a chill in his nose

Can someone tell me what the song is at 2:17??? please

Have to watch this as homework and answer questions about it. Anyone else?

👍💖🙏

Superb documentary. Does anyone know the name of the song played on the piano in the parlour at the end? 🤔

Is it connected with Midnight in Paris from Woody Allen, i Love that

Sadly Dickens didn’t have the vision to see what Christmas has become. Months of commercial hype, stress, anxiety, overspending, overeating, competitive gift giving, competitive decorating and lighting, and enforced jollity. Oh to go back to the days of that edition of the Times before A Christmas Carol was published. Bah, humbug.

Once again BBC attempts to wipe out and destroy British traditions and values,its clear BBC has a secret hidden agenda to create a far left socialists Republic and reduce the rights and freedoms of the common man.

EVIL BBC SOCIALISM, ONCE AGAIN TRYING TO DESTROY BRITISH HISTORY,WHEN ARE THE NASTY BBC GOING TO BE RECOGNISED FOR THEIR ANTI BRITISH CAMPAIGN, BBC = TRAITORS,EVIL TRAITORS!!!!

It's a Story of Redemption, which is available to All 😉👍🙏❤🙏❤

😊

Many of the traditions we celebrate today come from Queen Victoria & her husband! The Christmas Season does not even begin until Christmas Eve - before then it's Advent - and lasts until Epiphany of Jan. 6th the 12 the day! I dislike it when people celebrate it wrong!

Was it coincidence that he wrote A Christmas carol immediately after returning from a 6 Months Tour of the US? Can he have been inspired by Something?

We noticed the goose is injured and called the RSPCA They asked for a video to help diagnose the issue They called around today to collect the bird

Did you do something

The newer movie made in the last five years or so… The man who invented Christmas… Is exceptional. I didn’t realize the depth of what that movie really meant. Anyone that loves this story should check out that movie.

my teacher gave up and sent me this link lol

yes

Too bad The Doctor couldn't really show up and revive Dickens' spirits (pun intended) in his final years! 😉

In a way, Dickens re-invention of Christmas (along with Washington Irving, Clement Clark Moore, Thomas Nast and many others) was a much bigger version of what Sarah Josepha Hale did for Thanksgiving. Victorian historians in America rather arbitrarily declared the Pilgrims' 1621 feast to have been "the first Thanksgiving", even though it had fallen into obscurity for over 200 years, and had little to do with the New England Thanksgiving tradition that Hale popularised. It seems like the Victorians were always re-inventing their history.

It's interesting that the 2 kids representing ignorance and poverty are left out of most of the modern presentations of A Christmas Carol that I've ever seen. I only found out about them very recently. (I must admit, I haven't yet read the original book.) I wonder why that is? Thank you for an amazing post! 😊
