Film Review On The Man Who Invented Christmas

Firstly, today we went and watched The man who invented Christmas, although I thought it was gonna be long and boring but in my honest opinion it was a very interesting and it focused on no matter what back ground / past life you had , it doesn’t matter in your present life because you’re the only one who can work hard and achieve what you didn’t expect to receive.

Although the setting was on Christmas you don’t really see or hear about any Christmas themes or about presents , I think the main focus of the story was about Charles dickings, not forgiving his father for abandoning him as a 11 year old kid, as soon as Charles realised no matter what you don’t hold grudges on those who are blood, he was able to finish his last chapter and ending to his story.

His story focuses and relates a lot to the Christmas carol film because this film includes Scrooge, Tiny Tim, Ghost of Christmas past, present and future and also the ghost of Marley , scrooges work friend. When Scrooge realises he’s doing wrong by people and that he has no friends or family to be with or next to him for his last remaining days of his life he realises how bad of a human being he has been and becomes a nice person to everyone else and society around him.

If I was to rate this film it would be 5/5 because its truly a great, astonishing film! Which shows you no matter what your past is never hold grudges against the past because it can hold you up in your future life and also it shows you no matter your background or wiether your rich or poor , if you work hard and put all you can into your future and family then you can become wealthy. The only thing I struggled with was keeping on track with the story lines and what the story was about.
