A Christmas Carol: Comparing The Book And The Movie

I thought that the movie “A Christmas Carol” was better than the book. Movies provide better action and visual pictures. When watching a DVD you can actually see what is happening in the story and plot. When you read a book you have to use your imagination and visualize what's happening in your head. Although some movies can change the plot and sequencing of the original book, it is still fun to watch the movie and see how different or similar they are.

I felt that the movie of “A Christmas Carol” was very well performed and presented and that is why I believe the film version was better. Although the film version and the written version were very much alike they also were different. The film version was a lot differently set up and had a higher effect on the viewer than the written version. The film and the written version of “A Christmas Carol” were very much alike, but had some differences.

     First off, the biggest difference is the time periods of each movie. The older movie was set in Early Renaissance times. The newer movie is set in the early ninety’s. Another difference is the use of special effects. In the

Some differences was that in the story one of the desperate men was short and the other one was tall but in the movie both of the men was tall . Another difference is that in the story the two men offered Johnny some candy and he threw a large brick at them then they kidnapped him but in the movie they just grabbed him and took him straight to the cave.

"A Christmas Carol" a famous christmas movie. Although it isn't hard to believe that people do not realize that there are differences between the movie and the book. In this case, that fits right into that subject. Here are some of the differences between the movie and the novel.

“Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.”( Erich Fromm) In the story, A Christmas Carol, By Charles Dickens. The main character is a greedy man named Ebenezer Scrooge who has no Christmas spirit. Scrooge starts off in the story with no joy in his life. He is then visited by the ghost of his former coworker, who says that the Scrooge will be visited by three spirits who show him the past, present, and the future. There are many similarities between the drama and the movie.

This story makes a great book and movie, they are the same and very different. I enjoyed both of them about the same. The book never bored me and the movie kept me on the edge of the seat. This article will tell you about the differences and similatities in the characters,relationships,and scenes.

One of the most important similarities between the book and the movie is the plot that the story follows. Obviously the stories aren’t exactly the same but the main parts have to be. The story is the same in both mediums, Scrooge is a bad person, he meets some

Does the christmas carol hold the same meaning in any version? Does the story even have meaning or is it just made for our entertainment? I believe the story does have meaning, but that the meaning lies deeper than what most believe. I believe the similarities and differences in the book and movie help illustrate the good it is to turn your life around, not for others, but for yourself.

The Christmas Carol was about a man named Ebeneezer Scrooge. Scrooge became a very mean man after his partner died on Christmas Eve and now hated Christmas. Scrooge used to be a joyful man and after his partner died he wouldn't supply for anyone that lived in the town. But, there are many similarities and differences in the story and the movie.

“Bah Humbug” (The Christmas Carol). Those famous words were popularized by Charles Dickens in his novel The Christmas Carol. Not only are those words said in the book but they are also spoken in the many different movies that are based off of this story such as Disney’s A Christmas Carol (which is the movie I watched). The movie really added to the original story by changing things up and adding new elements to the story, but by also leaving certain parts of the story the way they were originally created by Charles Dickens. Though the movie was amazing and was very much like the book, there were still parts that didn’t quite resemble the book.

Have you ever read a book and then saw the movie? A Christmas Carol was a novel made into a movie. The novel A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens in 1843 is about a character named Scrooge who is very greedy. The setting is during Christmas season during the 1800’s in London, England. Scrooge is visited by the spirit of Jacob Marley and is told he will be seen by three other ghosts. They are the Ghost of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come. The ghosts show Scrooge major events in his life which help change him to love Christmas and be kind. Over the years, many movies of A Christmas Carol were made. These movies were comparable to the novel. The novel A Christmas Carol written by Charles Dickens in 1843 is similar to the movie A Christmas Carol directed by Clive Donner in 1984. Good!

A morality play, not unlike some of the popular plays I have seen. I think we all have seen this familiar theme many times over the years. As we head into the Christmas season, where reflective thinking becomes this very theme. I can compare this play with some of these seasonal plays. The play that comes to my mind immediately is, "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens.

The strengths for the play A Christmas Carol: A Ghost Story of Christmas were strong because the play was amazing! I have never seen the movie, but the play flowed well and explained it for people who have never watched the movie. I read over a summary of the movie and the script followed it exactly. I have seen a lot of plays and this play to me did not have many weaknesses. A weakness I did notice was some scenes lasted too long and could have been cut shorter. For example, the village dancing scene and the dancing scene during the Ghost of Christmas Past could have been cut short.

The show I decided to attend was A Christmas Carol, which I had never seen before. I went with my father on Wednesday, November 15th to the Guthrie Theater, and I have also never been to a show at this theater. I had heard that the building was recently redone and it was beautiful. Everything inside was very elegant looking and I felt completely underdressed. The Wurtele Thrust Stage where the show was put on was a very cozy little room but had great visibility from every section. We sat very close to the lights on the balcony and I was able to clearly see the stage and everything going on. Every seat was filled from what I could see in the balcony.
