A Christmas Carol 2009

A Christmas Carol is a 2009 film written and directed by Robert Zemeckis. It is an adaptation of Charles Dickens novel story of the same name and stars Jim Carrey in a multitude of roles, including Ebenezer Scrooge as a young, middle-aged, and old man, and the three ghosts who haunt Scrooge.The first spirit is the Ghost of Christmas Past who, to Scrooge's amazement, has the form of a candle, and holds an enormous candle snuffer for a hat. The second spirit is the Ghost of Christmas Present, who is a joyous spirit in the form of a man in green robes holding a magical torch and wearing an empty sword scabbard, in the symbolism of peace on earth and good will toward men. And the presence of the third and final spirit: Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. The spirit shows him the final consequences of his greed, and even toys with him a few times (chasing him through the streets on a shadowy carriage driven by horses, occasionally cracking his whip near Scrooge as he runs, in which causes him to shrink to incredible tiny size).
