The Man Who Invented Christmas | comment |
The Man Who Invented Christmas is a 2017 biopic based off the book of the same name by Les Sandiford detailing the creation of A Christmas Carol, starring Dan Stevens as Charles Dickens, Jonathan Pryce as John Dickens, and Christopher Plummer as Scrooge.In 1843, Dickens is still England's most popular novelist, but his last three books haven't been big hits. Needing money and something to restore his reputation, he sets down in six weeks to write what will become A Christmas Carol. Unfortunately, his father John Dickens comes to town for a visit, bringing Charles into conflict with him and his own troubled past. | |

Small Name, Big Ego | |
The Man Who Invented Christmas / int_28a5213a | comment |
Small Name, Big Ego: John Dickens. When little Charles is sent to the boot-blacking factory, his father tells him not to cry and to tell whoever's in charge that he's the son of John Dickens, implying that this is going to protect him and give him importance. Naturally, all it results in for little Charles is mockery and humiliation. The fact that John still acts as though he's much more famous or significant than he is contributes to his son's lingering Daddy Issues. | |

The Man Who Invented Christmas / int_3b1bc29c | comment |
And You Thought It Would Fail: In-Universe, Chapman & Hall refuse to publish A Christmas Carol believing it would be a flop because Christmas isn't a big holiday, so Dickens has to pay for the book's publishing out of his own pocket. Of course it proves to be a big hit, and is also responsible for making Christmas an important holiday again. | |

The Man Who Invented Christmas / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: Unlike the book, the film glosses over that it was a speech in Manchester and a visit to a "ragged" school in London that also inspired Dickens to write the story. The film also fails to mention that Dickens didn't make that much money from the initial printing of the book; although the book was a huge hit, his insistence on hand-colored illustrations and decorations (very expensive at the time) on each page ate into his share of the profits. | |

Amoral Attorney: Mr. Haddock (the inspiration for Jacob Marley), the lawyer and money-lender hired by Dickens for a copyright suit seems to be somewhat scrupulous by the standards of the time, but his greedy and cold-hearted ethics and personality evoke this. He offers his guests maggot-ridden cookies, casually suggesting the idea of putting the plagiarists into debtors prison (which an appalled Charles refuses) then billing Charles for his effort despite not recovering any money and giving him a loan extension under rather lopsided conditions. | |
