For Mao's little Christmas Eve fright =_=

Well, I couldn't find the '84 version and had to look at the animation.
We don't learn the director and don't understand those techniques. I guess it's a 3D movie that needs to be watched in theaters. It's a little uncomfortable to watch it on a computer.
Compared to Dickens' original, the movie is still a bit indigestible.

The male protagonist was simply and rudely described by me as a mean and lonely old man.
The solitary old man was a little chatter, and he didn't count the two gold coins under other people's eyelids all the time. He really even took the gold coins from the dead people's eyelids. . .
He felt that the poor should be "dead," and he asked if the prison was still working normally.
He gave the clerk a day off after the dogma of exploiting and being exploited.
Then, standing alone, they were roasting and drinking thin soup, and suddenly a few Spirits popped out.
It's a bit like letting bullets fly. Master said, think about it, you took your wife out of the city, ate hot pot and sang songs, and suddenly you were robbed by gangsters.
It made me want to laugh. You said that you locked three doors, but you didn't lock the soul.
Spirits took the lonely old man with us to see his past, present and future.
The future is always unsettling.
There has always been so much pain in the past.
But now we are confused.
If you remove the criticism of capitalism through the lonely old man in Dickens's works, then the lonely old man in the movie is actually only one of the many poor people. In a country that advocates capital, people are just vassals of power and money. You work hard for it, but it keeps deducting your "wage", making you more and more poor. So that the lonely old man is poor and only has money left.
The innocent and kind sister died, and the poor but strong fiancee decided to leave. Although his nephew came to greet him from time to time, he felt that he was not doing his job properly. Shaking hands.
He couldn't believe in love anymore. His nephew said he got married because he fell in love, but the lonely old man couldn't even say the word love.
Fortunately, his partner really regarded him as a friend and came back to tell him the way out.
Fortunately, God is willing to take care of everyone.
The whole movie turns too fast and feels a little jumpy.

There seems to be a saying: first decide to die, then decide to live.
I like the movie where the god of death points to the tombstone of the lonely old man, and the layers of snow recede, revealing the bridge of death.
The lonely old man begged again and again, saying, no.
Do people resist death because of fear or because of regret?
When that moment comes, can I say, as Paul did, "I have fought the good fight"?
This is something I need to think about.
The most recent assignment is to reorient my work, and may the big boss lead me.
This film and this article commemorate yesterday. Ha ha.
