A Christmas CarolDVD cover From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A Christmas Carol is a 1999 British-American made-for-television film adaptation of Charles Dickens' 1843 novella A Christmas Carol that was first televised December 5, 1999, on TNT. It was directed by David Jones and stars Patrick Stewart as Ebenezer Scrooge and Richard E. Grant as Bob Cratchit. Plot Moneylender Ebenezer Scrooge buries his friend and business partner Jacob Marley before returning to work at his counting house. Seven years later, on Christmas Eve 1843, Scrooge's loyal, but meek clerk Bob Cratchit is the target of Scrooge's cruelty and bitterness. Scrooge declines his nephew Fred Bowley's invitation to join him for Christmas dinner and dismisses two gentlemen collecting charitable donations. He even frightens away a carol singer by brandishing a ruler. Scrooge reluctantly gives Cratchit Christmas Day off so long as he comes in early the next day. Returning home, Scrooge encounters the tortured ghost of Marley. Marley warns Scrooge that the suffering he causes others, he will have to repay - even in death. According to Marley, Scrooge must either repent his wickedness or suffer a worse punishment than his own. Marley says spirits will visit Scrooge during the next three nights before departing. At one o'clock, Scrooge is visited by the Ghost of Christmas Past, who takes him back in time to his lonely childhood in boarding school, where his friends go home for Christmas but he is not wanted, because his father turned against him after his mother died. Scrooge's sister, Fran, Fred's eventual mother, says that their father has changed, agreeing that he could come home for Christmas. Scrooge is later employed by the benevolent Albert Fezziwig, who loved celebrating Christmas. Scrooge was in love with Belle, a young woman, and they became engaged. However, Belle chose to leave him when Scrooge proved unable to commit to her over amassing his fortune. Distraught, Scrooge extinguishes the Ghost and finds himself back in bed. Scrooge meets the Ghost of Christmas Present, who shows him the joys of Christmas Day. They visit Cratchit's house, where Scrooge is astonished to find that Martha Cratchit is a hardworking young girl and that Cratchit has an ill son, Tiny Tim. The family is content with their small dinner. The Ghost comments that Tiny Tim will likely not live unless something changes. The ghost then shows Scrooge Christmas being celebrated on a lighthouse, a ship, and by miners. The ghost shows Fred's Christmas party, where he defends his uncle from his guests' snide remarks. The ghost shows prisoners celebrating the carols before suddenly aging, telling Scrooge his life is ending and warning him to beware of "Ignorance" and "Want", who manifest themselves as two wretched children. The Ghost then vanishes. The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come arrives and takes Scrooge into the future. At the stock exchange, Scrooge sees his business colleagues discuss a man's death and how they have no intention of attending his funeral as they secretly loathe him. In a den, Scrooge sees a charwoman, a laundress, and an undertaker trading the man's stolen possessions. Scrooge is shown the dead man under a sheet but is reluctant to see his face. He asks to see anyone showing emotion for the man and is shown a couple celebrating how his death has freed them from debt. When asked to see tenderness connected with a death, the Ghost transports Scrooge to Cratchit's house, where Tiny Tim has died and the Crachits are in mourning. At a cemetery, the Ghost reveals Scrooge's name carved on a gravestone. Scrooge vows to change his ways just as the Ghost closes its eyes and lifts its head. The grave opens, and Scrooge sees his corpse, before falling into an abyss and waking up to find himself alive in his bed. Joyous, Scrooge finds the ghosts had visited him all in one night instead of three, and that it is Christmas Day. Scrooge anonymously sends Bob's family a large turkey for Christmas dinner and ventures out among London's citizens to spread cheer, even singing carols in church. He reluctantly visits and reconciles with Fred, shares a Christmas dinner, and dances for the first time in years. The next day, Scrooge plays a prank on Bob, pretending to be about to scold him for lateness, but instead giving him a raise and offering to assist his family. Scrooge comes to treat everyone around him with kindness and compassion, became a second father to Tim (who does not die and recovers), embodying the Christmas spirit.
