Charles is talented, caring, and kind. But he"s not perfect. He sometimes yells at people, gets frustrated, etc. His best friend, John Forster, is intelligent, protective, and selfless. The maid Tara is curious và bright.



If you"re looking for a story of redemption, look no further. Also a lesson in determination và hard work. I"m a professional musician, writer, husband và father. This is a great testament to lớn the creative process. As brilliant as Charles Dickens himself. Bravo!

THE MAN WHO INVENTED CHRISTMAS is a fictionalized drama about legendary author Charles Dickens" possible real-life inspirations -- và motivations -- for writing the classic story A Christmas Carol. It"s 1843, and 31-year-old Dickens (Dan Stevens) hasn"t had a commercial success in several years; he"s facing a personal financial crisis after three critically panned books. So he decides lớn write a Christmas-themed book after encountering various strangers -- including a waiter named Marley, a greedy businessman, and a dry-eyed elderly man (Christopher Plummer) who says "humbug" at his business partner"s funeral. When Dickens fails to lớn secure a publisher (one says the book won"t be profitable because Christmas is a "minor holiday"), he decides khổng lồ seek financing lớn self-publish. On a tight six-week deadline, Dickens begins lớn see the characters as memorable strangers và loved ones alike, with Scrooge (played by Plummer) popping up in his head and defending his miserly positions until the novella is done.

The Man Who Invented Christmas adds holiday magic lớn the writing of A Christmas Carol, putting a sweetly revisionist spin on the story behind a classic yuletide tale. Read critic đánh giá
