• The Christmas Carol (2009)

I chose this movie because this is the only adaptation of this book that I truly remember. The movie is a 3D computer animated film directed by Tim Burton. The movie is the exact adaptation of the book with all the elements present. There’s just tiny bit details that I think was forgotten in the film i.e. Ebenezer Scrooge calling Christmas “Humbug”, Fred speaks for his uncle with pity in his Christmas party, and a married Belle (Scrooge's former lover) celebrating a happy Christmas with her large but merry family. I also think that a real-human adaptation of the book would be the best for the audience to really understand and grasp the essence of the story. But overall, this

    For the live theatre show, I decided to watch “A Christmas Story, The Musical” directed by Valerie Easton at Vancouver Arts Club Stanley Industrial Aalliance Stage. The show focuses on a child named Ralphie, who wants a Red Ryder BB Gun for Christmas.Valerie’s production captured the happiness and cheerful atmosphere during Christmas and also focus on emphasizing Ralphie’s desire of a BB Gun as his Christmas present.

For example, the quick changes, the adequate use of theatre stage and also the use of sets to change from fantasy and reality. However, the most striking elements to me are the set piece of Ralphie’s house and the sufficient use of rigging system.…

    A Christmas Carol, written by Charles Dickens, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Suess are very similar. First off, the setting of both stories are related since they take place in small towns and both begin on Christmas Eve and end on Christmas Day. However, the Grinch lived outside of Who-ville while Scrooge lived in his own small town, which is why no one knew of the Grinch and Scrooge’s whole town was familiar with him. This is also a reason why the Grinch strongly despised Christmas and wanted to end it instead of just not celebrating, like Scrooge. The Grinch was very lonely, even with his dog because he was never invited to parties whereas Scrooge was, even though he declined; this shows that Scrooge may not be liked, but at…

The fury he has towards the holidays and The Whos’ can be displayed in his behavior in the film and on the original story. When The Grinch proceeds to take the Whos’…

    Within A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens incorporates numerous themes by using the character Ebenezer Scrooge. Scrooge is a unsympathetic pennypincher that does not give any thought to helping others. He is a complicated fellow who cares about money and business more than anything else. The author Ebenezer Scrooge as a way to convince readers that money should not always be the first priority. Making Scrooge realize that family is more important helps prove the theme: money should not be the only focus in life in the story.…

    I liked the DVD better than the written version A Christmas Carol. The reason I liked the DVD better, because it goes into more detail than the party does. Also instead of me having to visualize it myself, then I can just watch the movie. I also do not like to read if I do not have to. For the people who can’t read, the movie is a much better choice for them.…
