(Film interpretation) The writers are half genius and half lunatic The Man Who Invented Christmas 12/19/2018
What's interesting is that I watched the indescribable Sex and Lucia yesterday, and watched this movie today. It is said that the writer is very deeply involved in the writing, mixing the boundaries of creative roles and self-experience, which can be described as a crazy creative process. At this time, I can only say that I have not read Charles Dickens's book. A Christmas Carol saw the animated version on the small broken TV set when Durham lived in 720 in Durham several years after arriving in the United States, so I would not go completely ignorant. watch movie.
I don’t know the male protagonist, he looks like Rafael in the young version of Law & Order SVU. Some parts of the film are not deep enough/consistent, and they are really not good enough. For a while, I want to show that the Dickens and his wife are mentally incompatible (Kate seems to be under-educated and can't understand Foster's rhetoric), and then show the deep love between the two. For a while, I want to show that Charles' father is like a con artist and loves to set up auctions and has no sense of responsibility, which brings Charles’s childhood misfortune. For a while, I show that he is a good person and bring laughter to the children in the family. Finally, I arrange for a father and son to reach an understanding and family reunion. The ending. Some people want to be round, and some have to reason. I can't buy it.
What impressed me was Dickens's dedication to the goals he was looking for, and his deep sympathy for the underprivileged while he was in Huatang. I don't know that the movie has restored a bit of historical truth, and Christmas is coming again. I take off my hat to the author and his work.
