A CHRISTMAS CAROL

The latest movie I watched is a computer animated film made by Disney Animation in 2009 on Charles Dickens novel A Christmas Carol. The novel has been adapted many times to stage, film and opera and is popular for never being out of print. It is about a bitter old greedy miser Ebenezer Scrooge who was visited by the ghost of his late business partner Jacob and three other Christmas ghosts:  ghost of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. The ghosts come to save Scrooge’s miserable faith and give him the last opportunity to make his life worthwhile and learn to show some mercy on people.

The film received mixed to positive reviews from the critics. One Wall Street Journal review says “the tone is joyless, despite an extended passage of bizarre laughter, several dazzling flights of digital fancy, a succession of striking images and Jim Carrey’s voicing of Scrooge…” Nevertheless, almost 60% of the critics gave the movie a positive review according to Rotten Tomatoes. I slightly agree with the upper comment. There were moments in the film where it seemed to me that the images are a little too spooky for young children and all the laughter and shouts too irritating. All in all, I liked the film. It brings back the Christmassy and fairy-tallish atmosphere. Also the implication is significant. Love, Respect and Chistmas.
