Ro K @Kein_indianer 10h Not the earliest A Christmas Carol adaptation, but the oldest one that has survived, is this one. It's funny that it immediately triggered the same feeling of rushing through the story as The Odyssey did with its 3-hour. Imagine you still have so much to do and have to tell your kid a bedtime story. That's how you would tell this story: rushing through it & hoping that the ending will satisfy her. Kids who already know the story wouldn't fall for it. They would complain, but if they didn't know it, they would follow your lips because they love you. This A Christmas Carol clearly needed much more time to be properly told. What was told, however, was nicely done. I wish I hadn't read The Odyssey thrice. Then I could have enjoyed Nolan's version and simply appreciated the $250 million that delivered stunning pictures. Then I wouldn't have had to ignore the facts. However, I'm certain this A Christmas Carol would have been much more famous if they had spent a similar amount of money on it. See more Read all reviews
