Fortunately, I just reviewed the book and movie "Christmas Carol" (also known as "The Stingy God of Wealth") last Christmas. It was fantastic, a bit scary, and very warm at the end. No wonder this book will change the custom of Christmas in Western society-from family reunion to celebrate the New Year to charity to spread more love. Yes, as long as everyone gives a little love, "God bless each of us."
The film "Christmas Inventor" tells Dickens' experience in writing this book: After "Orphan Twist" made him famous, three consecutive works failed and received poor response. At the same time, he is still pretending to be happily welcoming the arrival of his fifth child, satisfying his wife's aggressive and costly renovation of the house, and striving to accept the dad who talks but fails and the mother who is only the father and the mother. It was in such an embarrassing and chaotic situation that he desperately sought inspiration, not only to improve his economic situation with new works, but also to counter the literary critics who laughed at him and prove that he is not a talented man.
Finally, the opportunity that a wife paid tribute to him but the husband dismissed him gave him inspiration for his creation; the new babysitter told the children the story of the Christmas elf, and even the name of an old waiter in the restaurant (Ma Lee), it made him think well, and in only six weeks, he created the well-known little book "A Christmas Carol". When rewriting the experience of little Tim at the end, he also faced his own dark and painful childhood experience, reconciled with his father who hated iron and steel, said goodbye to the side of his heart that resembled Skunucci, and spent Christmas with his family happily and harmoniously. festival.
The film presents Dickens’s creative process as a bit of a fantasy. Let the characters in the book come to him one by one, talk to him, act with him, show more of their own qualities in front of him, and make the novel fuller and fuller step by step. Make the story more interesting, more attractive to readers, and more conducive to expressing the author's expectations for Christmas-it is not only a day to empty a man's wallet, but also full of warmth and hope, the beauty of human nature, and the love of compassion. day. Just as the classic saying that the Dickens brothers and sisters learned from their father in the film: no matter who they are, they can be helpful to others. The process by which Dickens wrote this book is exactly the process of embodying this theme. His gentle wife, lovely child, his little nanny who loves to tell stories, a dedicated old housekeeper, his loyal friend, a publisher who has faith in his work, and a miser who happens to be a charity, My sister’s poor child who is seriously ill, and his parents who love and hate... all provided inspiration and help for the creation of this book and more creations, and also gave him more of his life. Meaning and value.
I can't find any more reasons for the director to make such a film, except for his true love for Dickens from the heart. Knowing that such a subject cannot attract more attention from the public and cannot be popular, I am still willing to tell the story of a book, a person and a festival, and speak it with gusto, wit and warmth, so I can only say that it is us. The blessing of this kind of audience who is willing to watch the film quietly.
