A Christmas Carol: Movie And Story

The popular movie/story, A Christmas Carol, has many similarities and differences. The movie had different takes on the characters than the book did. Along with the way the story was put along, the technology used in the film had some affect too. This essay will point out how they’re alike and different.
In both the cinema and the chronicle, Scrooge (the main character) absolutely hated Christmas. His feeling toward the holiday always made him yell “Bah humbug!”, in both of the sources for A Christmas Carol. Along with this information, Scrooge also saw a Christmas spirit, or apparition. In both the flick and tale, he promised the ghost he would hold Christmas in his heart forever and let the spirits present, past, and future strive

through him. These are some comparisons.
The uncle in the feature was meaner than the one described in the article. Following that claim, when people on the street would say “Merry Christmas” he would grimace in distaste or in a hateful manner. His attitude seemed to be worse in the movie because when a person would say “Good morning, Mr.Scrooge” or something of the sort, he would always turn away and reply “I can’t be bothered.” In the movie, after he was returned home from his encounter with the phantasm, he was on his bed promising he’d be nice, but in the book he was on his knees on the floor. These are a few contrasts from the story/movie.
The technology has some effect on the DVD/movie. In the story, since you can’t hear the sounds or music or anything, it kinda makes it a bit more difficult to understand the mood. Unlike when someone reads a book, they cannot see the characters facial expressions so they don’t exactly know what the characters reaction is. Lighting is another thing that the reader can’t change or cause. Within the movie, there’s many different ways to cast shadows over a face or brighten the screen but in a book, this isn’t possible. These are a few ways technology affects the mood.
In conclusion, there’s so many things alike and different in A Christmas Carol. From the characters to their actions, a lot of things turned out not to be the same. Some of the differences weren’t easy to find. Along with this, technology played a big part too. This sums up the comparisons and differences of A Christmas Carol.
