Scrooge begins his Christmas Eve night journey in the company of the Ghost of Christmas Past, and Scrooge is forced to confront not only his past but also his own inner demons.
Scrooge's journey begins to reach its climax, with visitations from both the Spirits of Christmas Present and Future...but will the result truly be redemption for both himself and Marley?.
The demons of greed and indifference to humanity are prevalent in Ebenezer Scrooge, and on Christmas Eve night he is warned that his only hope of redemption is a series of visits from three spirits.
Take a look back at the talented actors and actresses who took home a Golden Globe for Best Actor/Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama since the category was created in 1951.
One of the best TV mini serirs ever made. I am genuinely shocked by people taking offence at this adaption of this Dickens classic. I am a huge fan of the book. I have read it every Christmas for the last twenty years and have watched and enjoyed many TV and film adaptions.
I therefore approached this version with trepidation but ended up being blown away. My only complaint was that it wasn't long enough. It was a brilliant retelling of the classic take of redemption. The script, which unusually,didn't draw from the book, was sharp and engaging, the production was amazing with the mill, mine and church scenes breathtaking and the acting straight out of the top drawer. Truthfully I don't believe there has ever been a better Scrooge than Guy Pearce. If you haven't seen it please don't be put off by the negative reviews. This is a total treat.
