Hello friends, welcome to my blog, I hope you all have a great Christmas. For me, these dates are to spend it at home, with family and close friends. One of our traditions is that the next day we do marathons of classic and new Christmas movies. One of the best known classics and one of which there are hundreds of movies for film and TV is "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens, which I must confess is one of my favorite stories, so when I saw that there was a new version based on this story it was one of my first choices for the family marathon on Sunday.
Hola amigos, bienvenidos a mi blog, ante todos espero pasaran unas excelentes navidades. Para mí, estas fechas son para pasarlo en casa, en familia y con los amigos cercanos. Una de nuestras tradiciones es que al día siguiente hacemos maratones de películas navideñas clásicas y nuevas. Uno de los clásicos más conocidos y del cual hay cientos de películas para el cine y TV es “A Christmas Carol”, de Charles Dickens, la cual debo confesar es una de mis historias favoritas, así que cuando vi que había una nueva versión basada en esta historia fue una de mis primeras escogencias para el maratón familiar del domingo.
This film inspired by this Dickens classic, surprised me by the constant twists in its plot, but despite this it does not lose the essence of the meaning of Christmas. Directed by Sean Anders and John Morris, this modern take on the classic does it differently, incorporating music as an important element to tell the story and somewhat black humor to poke fun at the stereotypes of what Christmas should be. I loved the way the story was approached without losing the magic or the essence of what this classic represents. The performances of Ryan Reynolds, as the ambitious businessman who all he cares about is money and always winning, is contrasted with a Will Ferrell, who feels identified with him and his past. I loved both characters and you can feel the chemistry between the characters.
Esta película inspirada en este clásico de Dickens, me sorprendió por los giros constantes en su trama, pero a pesar de ello no pierde la esencia del significado de la navidad. Dirigida por Sean Anders y John Morris, esta historia moderna del clásico lo hace de manera diferente, incorporando la música como elemento importante para contar la historia y el humor algo negro, para burlarse de los estereotipos de lo que debe ser la navidad. Me encantó la manera de abordar la historia sin perder la magia ni la esencia de lo que este clásico representa. Las actuaciones de Ryan Reynolds, como el ambicioso hombre de negocios que lo único que le importa es el dinero y siempre ganar, se contrasta con un Will Ferrell, que se siente identificado con él y su pasado. Ambos personajes me encantaron y se siente la química entre los personajes.
The story, which at the beginning begins as the Dickens classic, quickly mutates into something different, but not bad, on the contrary, I think it adapts to the modern reality of our time. Although I am not very given to musicals in movies, this one feels good and adds a touch where young and old can enjoy it. The best thing about this film for me were the twists in the plot and the ending, it didn't stick to the expected and that made it interesting and innovative from all the previous films based on this Dickens' classic.
La historia, que al principio empieza como el clásico de Dickens, rápidamente se va mutando en algo diferente, pero no por ello malo, al contrario, pienso que se adapta a la realidad moderna de nuestra época. Aunque no soy muy dada a los musicales en las películas, en esta se siente bien y le agrega un toque en donde grandes y chicos pueden disfrutarlas. Lo mejor de esta cinta para mí fueron los giros en la trama y el final, no se ciñeron a lo esperado y eso lo hizo interesante e innovador de todas las anteriores películas basadas en este clásico de Dickens.
Finally, if you are looking for something light, entertaining and you don't hate musicals, this is an excellent option to watch, the best thing is that it combines very well the musical part with the non-musical part, without being invasive and without being pure music, that balances it well and that is why I liked it even though it is a musical. The negative, perhaps for some, is that it doesn't stick to the original classic, it incorporates modern elements, it musicalizes part of the story. For me, what some may take as a negative, is what makes it different from other "A Christmas Carol" films, that detail is what makes it stand out. It is not a masterful film, but one worth watching.
Finalmente, si buscas algo que ver ligero, entretenido y no odias los musicales, esta es una excelente opción para ver, lo mejor es que combina muy bien la parte musical con la que no es, sin ser invasiva y sin ser pura música, eso lo equilibra bien y por ello me gusto a pesar de ser musical. Lo negativo, tal vez para algunos, es que no se ciñe al clásico original, incorpora elementos modernos, musicaliza parte de la historia. Para mí, lo que algunos tomen como negativo, es lo que la hace diferente a otras películas de “A Christmas Carol”, ese detalle es lo que la hace resaltar. No es una cinta magistral, pero si una que vale la pena ver.
