Charles Dickens' immortal novel "Christmas Carroll" was released in 1843, one year firmly in the Victorian era. During that time, England saw the bay between classes - which has long existed, of course - grows even beyond. The industrial revolution has brought with it great progress and prosperity for those at the top of society and allowed the middle class to expand to the point of becoming a great cultural impact. However, he left those at the bottom feeling his squat more than ever. Dickens was moved to write his story because of the troubles of the children of the working class who fought first -hand, combined with the growing popularity of celebrating Christmas and his accent to charity during that season.

The author also had deep personal reasons to tell a story of the unpleasant old Mizer Avenzer Scrooge, learning the mistake of his ways, because Dickens comes from a middle -class family, found in trouble when his father, Johnon, was dedicated to London's debtors. Since Dickens's story for Scrooge had overturned for the centuries, she became diluted and homogenized without any fault of her own, except for her pure popularity. Very few of the numerous adaptations of the story forget the social and ethical power behind it, although some emphasize it more than others.

Although it is generally traditional to keep the story set in its original era, some adaptations have updated it nowadays. One aspect that many adaptations miss, regardless of their setting, is that "Christmas Carroll" is not just a study of characters in which a single man needs to be redeemed. Instead, it is the story of a kindness overcoming capitalism, a story of three spirits that gives place to an unprecedented but deeply felt fourth: the spirit of giving. Fear inherent in the story - and "Christmas Carroll" is a horror story with spirits, makes no mistake - less it is not to like it, and more about how capitalism can annoy the souls of all mankind, if we are not careful. With today's announcement (through the deadline) That Robert Egers will write and direct a new movie version of "Christmas Carroll", with Egers 'regular Willem Dafo, I hope to play Scrooge, we seem to expect an adaptation that will nail every aspect within Dickens' work.

The most common mistake that pop culture has repeatedly made about Dickens's novel is that it is a story for children, something to get to know how to instill a sense of morality. While this is wrong in itself, "Christmas Carroll" is allowed to reduce its influence in the way it is often intended for children. Not only is it a story for adults to consume it (especially well -moody), it is also the one that should not be trivialized. Like many fans since 1992 "Christmas Carol in Mupet" Often they say, even director Brian Jenson and the people behind Muppets have known this, as Michael Caine's performance as Scrooge, along with the basic principles of the Dickens story, are delivered in the extreme seriousness (between the necessary parts of Muppet Vaudeville, naturally). Eggers' filmography has not been friendly to the family at least, so it may be possible for his Christmas Carroll movie to tone violence and sexual content, unlikely to have a toy advertising tone.

What will undoubtedly be seen in the "Christmas Carroll" of Egers is outstanding attention to setting up the period, something that is often overlooked in most adaptations. Although it is possible to maintain the power of the story while divorcing the Victorian era, it has become commonplace to see the story told in an over-sanished version of the 1840s, something that Still insufficiently "scrolling" by Richard Donner Make a clever, cynical meal of. Since "Christmas Carroll" takes place just six years after Egers 'Nosferatu's film, it is likely that the director was partially inspired to deal with Dickens' novel over the wealth of research he completed as he made that film. So, you can look at the success of portraying the "Nosferatu" period and being almost guaranteed to get a "Christmas Carroll" just as richly realized.

Using "Nosferatu" As a point of comparison (mostly because Earlier's previous films were not strictly adapted to existing material), one of the most impressive elements of that film was how it retained much of the work of Bram Stoker and JV Murnau, while it included as many vampire myths from true folklore, as well as Chinese tradition. When it comes to vampire character alone, Count Orlock (Bill Scarsgard) looks and sounds like a solomar, has a skin tan, and yet has an appeal and romantic and grotesque sex. Egers goes aside to include all those elements in the only character, showing how he does not neglect what happened before. In doing so, he pays tribute to the past, without just being slave to it, instead of using it to feel accurate and fresh.

Because of this, Egers is unlikely to neglect the horror elements inherent in Christmas Carroll. While the visit to Jaceabob Marley after Scrooge is often portrayed as something tricky - most likely a by -product of people who think it is early in the story of Scrooge's image to change - this is still a dead colleague of the man returning from some hellish clears to be alerting him. Not friendly and not pleasant; For my money, Frank Finley's performance as a character in the 1984 film is close to what is really disturbing. No doubt, Egers will profit to this element, and then some, not just leave the frightening content for the traditionally scared spirit of Christmas yet to come.

"Christmas Carroll", though certainly gentle, careful, and in the end a hearty story of opening one's heart to others, is also a story of the horror of inhumanity. It can be argued whether the nature of mankind is inherently selfish or elsewhere; Dickens' story assumes that true humanity lies in nessicity, and capitalism is the death of the soul. Our collective souls wanted late, so I hope Egers will be the man to come together and scare some real sense back to us in the nickname of time.
