Knights Movie Night
The Knights of Columbus "Movie Night" program presents a free screening of The Man Who Invented Christmas on Saturday, December 12 from 6:30 to 9:00pm in the Parish Hall.
A 2017 biographical comedy drama film about Charles Dickens, as he conceives and writes A Christmas Carol. In 1843, four years after the success of Oliver Twist, Charles Dickens is experiencing financial pressures after the failures of his last three books. To restore his finances, he sets out to write a new one, but when his publishers will not meet his target of publication before Christmas, he decides to publish it himself.
Seeing inspiration around London, most notably a rich man's funeral that is largely unattended,MARLEY and a mean-spirited old man SCROOGE who gives him the catchphrase "Humbug" and inspiration of a new character, Charles begins writing A Christmas Carol. It's due in six weeks in order to be published by Christmas, despite his friends and publishers telling him that the book will also be a failure, as Christmas (at the time) was considered irrelevant and few people celebrated it.
