## Description

The Man Who Invented Christmas tells the magical journey that led to the creation of Ebenezer Scrooge (Christopher Plummer), Tiny Tim and other classic characters from A Christmas Carol. Directed by Bharat Nalluri (Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day), the film shows how Charles Dickens (Dan Stevens) mixed real life inspirations with his vivid imagination to conjure up unforgettable characters and a timeless tale, forever changing the holiday season into the celebration we know today.Bonus Content:The Story Behind The Man Who Invented Christmas

Review: A Bit Different, But Good - A bit different from your normal "feel good Christmas movies" but still very good and is factual as well.
Review: A real Christmas gem that deserves to become a Classic - The only reason I can think of for this film doing so poorly at the box office is the title. Dan Stevens is wonderful as Charles Dickens and Christopher Plummer steals every scene he is in as Dickens' Scrooge - not to mention a wonderful supporting cast. When I saw the title months ago I by-passed buying the video and didn't realize what it was about until I saw an excellent trailer which made it very appealing. After I finished watching it the first time, I wanted to watch it again right away (IMO that means it's a keeper which I want to put in my collection). It has the same appeal as A Christmas Carol itself as a Christmas Classic. Also, there was a lot of information in the movie that I didn't know, such as Dickens' struggles to even get his book printed. The irony is that I'm sure if a new manuscript from Dickens showed up in an old trunk today, there would be a bidding war between publishers which would skyrocket into the millions. As it is, this movie puts a lot more heart into A Christmas Carol which already had a lot of heart to begin with. Another irony is that what Dickens actually invented was how we think Christmas should be celebrated - lavish family dinners with lots of food, charitable donations to those who have less than we do, gifts and decorated trees and candles and carols. Kindness and forgiveness and generosity and concern for others. We seem to have lost sight of much of this about Christmas, despite the many remakes of A Christmas Carol to remind us every year, just as they had lost sight of it in nineteenth century England. So I hope this movie will be pulled out by many every year to remember the man who struggled to remind us of what Christmas should mean to us every 25th of December.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great movie; sure to become an annual classic
*by J***R on March 14, 2018*

My wife and I have become Charles Dickens fans and thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I'll go so far as to say that it exceeded our expectations and deserves the 5 stars most reviewers have given to it. Dan Stevens, of Downton Abbey fame, brings great energy and insight into his role as Dickens and Christopher Plummer, at age 88, is memorable as Scrooge. The film is based to a degree on the true story behind getting "A Christmas Carol" published in December, 1843, just in time for the Christmas market. The book quickly sold out, of course, and has become the classic we all know and love. But the book is more than just a wonderful story about the holiday season and the redemption of an old miser, Ebenezer Scrooge. What we see and feel is something that changed people's lives for the better as they enjoy the season and try to make life better for everyone around them. This was the true genius of Dickens. Not only does he tell a story, but he gets across a social message that we all can relate to. The weak must be helped by the strong. The poor must be helped by the well-to-do. If he were alive today, Charles Dickens would win the Nobel peace price, the Nobel prize for literature, and the gratitude of millions of people whose lives were changed by his words. What a great writer he was and we have his novels and other writings to prove it. "Great Expectations," "David Copperfield," "Nicholas Nickleby," and, of course, "A Christmas Carol" are his finest works and are all relevant today. They deserve our time and attention as does this terrific little film, much of which was beautifully filmed in Ireland. Any Dickens or "Scrooge" fan must see and treasure "The Man Who Invented Christmas."
