Writer skips over a dozen or more adaptations that present the original version with the same brutal depictions of poverty and wealth. They seem a little too thirsty for a contrarian anti-capitalist view and should have spent more time actually doing comparative analysis. Instead, this slog of a twitter thread is a weird takedown of the 1999 version as if the 20 year-old Patrick Stewart movie was all the buzz this Christmas season. This is what Twitter is for, so more power to them I guess. However, I found it to be annoyingly strident in it's presentation of an already very mainstream view -- namely that some Christmas movies are too sentimental and saccharine.
