The sun sets on another day…
It was another cloudy day for all to see, and the sky was grey, gray, and not quite white. I laughed as I enjoyed the moments, and felt positive at all the fun I had watching the night come on.wd
I had always thought this was the first Christmas Carol movie. I was quite wrong. This was one of many, and it was one of the first to really gain a large following. Reginald Owen plays the miser in this version and has a time letting go of the horrible methods he has learned. In this version the ghosts are more animated and accurate.
If you watch many of the versions of A Christmas Carol this one is a little different. The ghost of Christmas past is often represented by an Angel for a woman, in this case it is an older man. Scrooge is always represented as ill will that the beginning and moving towards happier at the end and this particular Scrooge does a great job of imparting that power full idea of failure In the eyes of all who see.
I always find myself smiling in this particular version as there was more time put to the past and more time set to understand just how Scrooge came to redemption. No matter how you slice it, it was a very good version and a very good way to approach the story. More than worth the watch.
So as the sun sets on another day, it was a good day and I watched this early film. Watch something new everyday and have fun, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and live hard…
