I really enjoyed this film, how miserable old Scrooge is transformed into a caring rich man.This live action film is a classic that I really enjoy.Dickens had some great ideas for books and he included some great English in order to describe each scene.When the three ghosts showed up, I felt exactly like Scrooge.From now on, on Christmas, I won't just care about the presents and celebrations. I will think about the poor and how I am so lucky to have a life like mine. I hope that Scrooge's chain would have shortened after he was visited by three spirits and that some people will be unhappy about his death.His money will hopefully go to the poor and now I will try and encourage people to give to people who are slightly less unfortunate than us.When read and seen, Dickens explained the whole story crystal clear, and this film will definitely by a film to consider watching on Christmas day. Hopefully this Christmas, everyone will have a merry Christmas. I f Scrooge was alive, the people around him would be so lucky
