A Christmas Carol is a short story‚ not very long at all as I read it today and found some interesting differences between the book by Dickens and the movie incantations. Most of the movies I have seen pretty much have the same screenplay‚ it seems‚ with some small differences in most and some have a scene or two the others don’t.

The film version of ¨A Christmas Carol¨ is extremely more preferable. The literature version just simply doesn’t give off as much of a mood‚ the text is extremely too dull. In written form the story isn’t pulling me in‚ and appears like a fantasy. The text is just not appealing‚ and that’s the main reason why the movie is better.
