Last weekend we decided to delve into the holidays and opted to see the movie "The Man Who Invented Christmas." It's about how author Charles Dickens came to write "A Christmas Carol" with Scrooge, the ghosts, and cast of characters. We didn't know what to expect, and it was BRILLIANT! The way the director showed the characters in Dickens' mind were fantastic. I (Rob) got choked up about 4 times during the movie, and can't wait to see it again. In fact, Tom and I give it 5 out of 5 Stars.
Once this comes out on DVD, we plan to buy it and watch it annually during the holidays. Truly the best Christmas movie we've seen in a long time. GO SEE IT!!
NOTE FOR DOWNTON ABBEY FANS - Dan Stevens, who played the blonde haired Matthew, Mary's husband who was killed in a car accident.
SYNOPSIS: In 1843 London, author Charles Dickens finds himself in financial trouble after writing three unsuccessful novels in a row. Desperate for a hit, Dickens relies on real-life inspiration and his vivid imagination to bring Ebenezer Scrooge, Tiny Tim and other classic characters to life in "A Christmas Carol," forever changing the holiday season into the celebration known today.
