This is a cartoon about change. The protagonist Scrooge is a famous miser, and many plots at the beginning of the film fully prove this. For money, he can take two pennies from the dead partner's eyes after reluctantly paying the funeral expenses; he can scold his nephew for hypocrisy when facing his nephew’s kind greetings, and give away money when he thinks he has no money to make. It is impossible for him to be happy in his days; he can face the cold and sarcasm rejection of charity fundraising in his loving days. In his world, there is always only money, always only income and extraction. The love and warmth in the world are worthless in his opinion. In this way, he lives a stubborn and lonely life day after day without friends. There is no greeting, only those who accompany him are the more and more money he saves.
On another Christmas Eve, he returned to his home alone, but when he opened the door, he was startled by the horrible ghost locked on the door. A series of strange things that happened next made him even more frightened. The partner who died seven years ago turned into a ghost and came to him, painfully regretting what he had done in the past, and told Scrooge that there was still a chance to change, saying that 3 ghosts would come to him and then disappear. . The undecided Scrooge soon encountered the first ghost. It was his past. The ghosts of the past took him back to Christmas when he was a child. Here, the film finally broke away from the color of horror movies and officially turned to the wonderful Plot. He saw his childhood friend running happily on a snowmobile; he saw the lonely self sitting in the school classroom; he saw his sister who had been caring about him; he saw his former teacher; he saw his acquaintance with his girlfriend . Everything is so beautiful. When these memories are vivid, Scrooge smiled cutely, which is very different from the nasty old man at the beginning of the film. In fact, in his heart, these memories are still there, and he still remembers them. It's just that years and interests buried these beautiful things in the depths of his soul, and he never thought of it. Then the ghosts of the past took him to the day when he was separated from his lover. The young Scrooge grew up slowly. The pressure of life and society made him more and more afraid of poverty. He began to pay more and more attention to money and began to Slowly ignoring his lover. When she was angry and proposed to dissolve the marriage contract, he would not allow him. He was speechless when faced with her question, "Will you still pursue a poor girl whose parents have not left an inheritance?" Can only watch the lover leave indifferently. It was from then on that Scrooge became a real miser. Since he could give up love for money, there is nothing worthy of his nostalgia. The old Scrooge, who was on the sidelines, looked at all of this, after all, it was difficult to face it again, becoming angry, extinguishing the fire of the past and returning to the present. By the time the film came here, Scrooge had already undergone some small changes in his heart, and the following plot allowed him to make even greater changes.
After returning home, Scrooge soon saw the second ghost, which was his present. The humorous soul of the present allowed him to look down on the whole world from the perspective of heaven, let him see the good and evil, happiness and bitterness of human beings, and brought him to the house of clerk Kleichte, when he saw it because of his meanness. As a result, Craig’s family could only eat roast duck on Christmas Eve because he had no money; when he saw that his cute little Laimi’s lame leg could not be healed because of his meanness; when he heard Craig’s Christmas dinner table When thanking him, his cold heart finally got a touch of warmth. He was ashamed and regretted. He only realized that his coldness and meanness had caused such great harm to others, but later the scene of his nephew’s house. Also let him know that his meanness brought most people only hate and ridicule, only his dear nephew and loyal staff chose to forgive him for what he did. Between this kind of love and hatred, he began to gradually Understand the meaning of life. Next, the soul of the present took him to the end of his life, and the ghost of the future took him to see the world after his death. No one sympathized, no one sorrow, only cursing and ridicule, and then he looked more painfully. Until the end of the unlucky death of Volunteer Kletcher’s child due to his own bitterness, finally, the ghost of the future took him to a grave. After seeing the name and date on the tombstone, he finally knew that it was on Christmas Day. The person who died was himself. Facing the cruel reality, he finally began to reflect on himself from the inside. Because of money, he had lost too much, missed too much, hurt too much, and faced death. , He finally understood how his life should go. He regretted, struggled, and vowed to learn from the past, present, and future, and change himself again. Scrooge had truly changed at this time, and the ghost of the future made a little joke with him and threw him into the coffin of "death". When Scrooge woke up, but was pleasantly surprised to find that he was still alive, he danced with joy and greeted the new day with the fullest enthusiasm. He no longer stingy with money, bought turkey generously and let people give it away. Go to Kleichte's house, hug your servant, ask the philanthropist for forgiveness and donate money, go to the nephew's house to spend a beautiful Christmas together, give the staff a raise and help take care of Xiao Laimi. The series of plots in the film are in sharp contrast with Scrooge's harshness at the beginning. In this sense, Scrooge is indeed dead. It is the stingy soul who died. Now he is brand new and generous. The kind and kind Scrooge, he started his new life, and all this was just a change in his attitude.
The film had a perfect ending in such love and peace, and I was deeply moved. Throughout the film, what it wants to express and show is exactly the many problems we need to face and experience in life, as well as our due attitude to life. From an objective point of view, we are all the stingy Scrooge, stubbornly holding on to something, perhaps money, power, status, reputation... In order to protect those things that do not represent themselves, too many people Choosing indifference, isolation, treacherous, and hatred, they closed the door to sincere communication with the outside world. Then, some people chose to be completely autistic, while others chose to face the world with a hypocritical face. As a result, the world began to become dirty, to be precise in the eyes of those people, because there was no love in their world. This is our sorrow. We foolishly thought that if we got these things, we got happiness, but the fact is that we were wrong. While we grasped these things, we lost more, and those lost were precisely what we lost. The most important thing in life. As Scrooge saw in the past, he used to be a loving and kind-hearted young man. He had a warm family, a beloved wife, good friends, and a benevolent boss. In the first few decades of his life, He spends every Christmas very meaningful, because at that time, he was still innocent. On the other hand, the same is true for ourselves. As we grow up, we begin to have pressure on study, work, and life. We also gradually lose our innocence and the carefree and desperate life. That’s right. , When we grow up, we can’t be so willful, we have to take our own responsibilities, but we can’t lose the warm things in human nature because we grow up, we care for ourselves, care for others, care for society, this The world is built on the basis of people. When facing the world with a hypocritical face, the world is hypocritical; facing the world with a loving face, the world is full of love. From Christmas Eve to Christmas, after Scrooge has experienced his past, present, and future, the world in his eyes has completely changed. The original boring and cruel world has become full of love and joy, but in fact this world is not No change, only Scrooge himself.
From now and in the future, Scrooge sees the harm that his acrimony brings to others and himself. The relationship between people is mutual. If you are mean to others, when you lose or even die, No one will feel sad for you. Everything we do now determines our future. In the second half of the film, Scrooge cries and asks to change everything. He already knows that his future is caused by his current behavior. It is undeniable that Scrooge was lucky. On the night before he was about to die, he was guided, and through those guiding him to obtain salvation, he deeply repented of his past behavior and vowed to make a change. However, this is an animated cartoon. In reality, it is difficult for us to have the opportunity to meet a saint who can guide our confused life. We can only rely on ourselves, review our life at all times, and make decisions about bad things. Make the corresponding changes so that you will not regret your own life after decades of looking back. In addition, a plot of the film also made me feel profound and fresh in my memory. When the Soul of Now dies, there are two terrible children hidden under his feet. He told Scrooge that there are two people in this world, one is called Ignorance, one is called greed, you must always beware of them. Yes, ignorance and greed, isn't this the reason for the failure of too many people in life? It is precisely because of ignorance and greed that people will firmly grasp something and ignore the most precious wealth in human nature; it is also because of ignorance and greed that people will face the world with hypocrisy and stubbornly Think this world is what they see. As a result, too many tragedies are doomed.
Finally talk about death. The film’s explanation of death is very meaningful. After seeing the past and the present, the Soul of the Future took Scrooge to the world after his death. It was also at that time that Scrooge completely repented of his past. He finally understood that at the end of life, nothing can be taken away, no matter what you are holding on now, at the moment you leave the world, all you can take away are probably only the good memories of your life. NS. So, why don't we make our lives meaningful? When Scrooge was surprised to find that he was alive after thinking that he died, I remembered a sentence I once saw, "What is happiness? When you find out that you are still alive when you wake up early in the morning, it is happiness." When we still have life, cherish everything in front of us, stop clinging to things that are not our own, and show more love and care for the people around us and the world. Only in this way can we live a more meaningful life. .
I wrote these thousands of words intermittently, but it was not enough to express the touch in my heart. Thank you sister for letting me know about such an excellent film, thank the director and producer for their meticulous production, thank Dickens for his excellent work, and thank you for the lovely characters in the play. It is you who gave me another important life in my life. baptism. Time flies, and the years are quiet. In the face of life, what we need is gratitude and cherish. Life is an attitude, as long as the mentality changes, everything will become better and change, just a moment. I would like to warn myself with this article, and dedicated it to those who are immersed in loneliness, autism, life confusion, and no direction. I hope you will go better and better in the future.
Best wishes for you.
