Veni Vidi Vici

I am sure most of you all are familiar with "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. I remember this story, because it's one of redemption. It also shows that people can be compassionate, even someone that is as seemingly heartless as Mr Scrooge. Jim Carrey hogs the majority of the voice work, providing the voice of Scrooge from childhood to old-age, along with the three Ghosts of Christmas. I must say he did a pretty good job, i can't even recognise his voice. The film's animation effect is spectacular. Animation nowadays have improved so much.

Mr Scrouge is a grumpy old man who has stopped believing in Christmas because of his bitterness to the world. He is entirely unsympathetic to the poor and needy. Scrooge is also neglectful to his own family, such as his nephew Fred. Then one Christmas Eve, Scrooge returns home and is met by the ghost of his former business partner Marley who was in chains. Marley warned that three spirits will soon come to him and that very evening they do. First came the Ghost of Christmas Past, the second the Ghost of Christmas Present and the third the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Each ghost serves to show Scrooge where his life went wrong and what will come if he does not change his ways.

But parents who are planning on bringing their children to this movie, be warned! Some parts of the movie were pretty scary with the ghost popping out suddenly, Scrouge being chased by demonic horses and more.

I especially love the Ghost of Christmas Present scene. So heart warming.
