OMG !! The Ghost of Christmas Present kicks ASS!

[@nickclark4599]

he absolutely does doesn't he? It's because of the inclusion of some pretty hard-hitting lines from the book that are usually left out

@@nickclark4599 A book, what's that?

[@samuelhawkins3750]

​@@hoibsh21 this movie is based off of Charles Dickens' classic novel: A Christmas Carol. There are many movies based off of the book, but this is the best version.

I enjoyed this so much because I initially saw it without having seen any trailers, that every spirit was seen for the first time as a pleasant surprise.

This is the only version worth watching, particularly if you love the book.

I’m glad to see I wasn’t the only one here

[@seangates1451]

@@yMeNorDoFluXox I know the feeling - so many people prefer one of the myriad other adaptations! And I don’t understand it because the pacing is so good here, and the storytelling so smart, on top of it just being a really beautiful production that honors the source material so well. This is the only one I’ve seen that really makes Scrooge a believable character and does it without undermining any of the character work from the book.

[@terrapinflyer273]

I respectfully disagree. I think there are several worthwhile reiterations. At least that I found very enjoyable - though perhaps not accurate to Dickens's vision. A Christmas Carol (FX series starring Guy Pierce), The Man Who Invented Christmas, and The Muppets Christmas Carol among them. I still cannot figure out which one I watched as a child that left a mark on me. I thought it may have been Scrooged, but it was definitely more "true to form," and I think more serious. I can't even think of any details that would differentiate it from the different versions that exist. I just remember Scrooge sitting asleep in his chair in the dark of his mansion quarters and Marley's first appearance being somewhat terrifying. Hearing the chains before seeing a light under a door, with him bursting through with a pale light shining behind him. Before he transports him to the past. Which is similar to almost any film adaptation. Hoping this may be the one, as the scenery (Old English, wooden architecture) looks to fit the bill.

[@MysteryManfrom79]

@@seangates1451 I agree. First version to show us the scene in the past where Scrooge sees what he missed out on too! I liked the fact Scott played him as a man with a mean spirited sense of humour rather than the stereotypical cartoon miser. His denial of his (obvious) death and gradual hatred of all the sins he himself had been guilty of in his lifetime during Christmas Yet to Come was a brilliant touch also - he was already beginning to change before the gravestone reveal!

[@seangates1451]

@@MysteryManfrom79 yes! The three spirits all do their work, and you can see Scrooge’s humanity showing through, and his walls gradually crumbling even as he’s denying it all so hard. It’s really moving. I think there’s a precedent for it in the book. The book is quite full of dry Victorian British humor (“mind! I do not mean to say that I know, of my own knowledge, what there is which is particularly dead about a door-nail; I myself might have been inclined to regard the coffin-nail as the deadest piece of ironmongery in the trade, but the wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile…”). Dickens also very coyly suggests that Scrooge replies to Fred’s dinner invitation by saying he’d see him in Hell before he’d see him at dinner (“Scrooge said that he would see him! Indeed, he went the whole length of the expression and said that he would see him in that extremity first”) and as near as I can tell, Scott’s the only on-screen Scrooge to utter the line, “I’d sooner see you in Hell, Fred.” That he does it with a chuckle preserves Dickens’ wry tone. Dammit I love that movie.

Scrooge: "I suppose you want the whole day off tomorrow?" Cratchit: "I want you to keep those programmers out of the system and get me that Chinese language program I asked for. End of line."
