Description:
In 1843 London, author Charles Dickens finds himself in financial trouble after
writing three unsuccessful novels in a row. Desperate for a hit, Dickens relies
on real-life inspiration and his vivid imagination to bring Ebenezer Scrooge,
Tiny Tim and other classic characters to life in "A Christmas Carol,"
forever changing the holiday season into the celebration known today.
My Thoughts:
I'd seen the trailer and knew I wanted to see The Man Who Invented Christmas. I've been intrigued with the story of A Christmas Carol since I was in Girl Scouts, and we acted it out. Dan Stevens, who played Matthew in Downton Abby, entertained in his outstanding take on Dickens. His energy filled the screen. Christopher Plummer is a hoot as Scrooge. For me, I was taken aback by the dismal city of London, yet uplifted by the scenes where Dickens is writing against the clock to create a story the world would love. The imaginative scenes which draws in the vivid characters of his story inspired me. The movie is filled with life, both real and fictitious. Humor found its place, as well as familial love. Tim and I both enjoyed the story line and the wonderful acting. If you are looking for a feel good movie to watch this holiday season, I recommend The Man Who Invented Christmas. If you are a fiction writer it is a must see.
