My sympathy with its theme is complete. My admiration is also genuine for the way in which the movie shows its truest triumph by demonstrating the racial intolerance which haunts the hearts and minds of nice people who think of themselves as liberals. This movie is memorable for numerous vivid, impelling passages. For instance, the breakfast scene, when Green tries to explain anti-Semitism to his innocent little son, stamps the picture’s urgent theme on the spectator’s mind virtually at once. Other under forgettable moments are when the son tells his father of being taunted by his playmates, Phil’s childlike terror at his mother’s heart attack, Kathy’s reaction when Phil reveals the “angle” for his magazine series, Phil’s helpless rage at the “restricted” resort hotel, the scene with Anne and the unconscious bigot in the cocktail bar, Dave’s conversation with Kathy about her passive disapproval of “nice” anti-Semites.

In A Christmas Carol, Dickens deliberately and defiantly comments on the society which was 19thCentury England. As his own life gives context to his commentary, Dickens discusses what he sees as the moral and social imperatives of the time. As the two are inextricably bound both are addressed in an attempt to bring about the change he argues is necessary of an empathetic and just society. The inequity between the rich and the poor and societies ignorance in sight of this lack of social justice is central to this novella. The novella starts with Scrooge being a cold hearted, bitter old man, that has no care what so ever with the poor.
