Ebenezer Scrooge's redemption from being one of the most miserly and cold-hearted men to generous, warm-hearted is possibly the greatest in all holiday cinema. Through showing him his past, the ghostly visitors take us on a journey of viewing how deeply Scrooge regrets wasting one's life in pursuit of greed and living isolated from people. It is a gut-wrenching moment when he pleads for a second chance. As we realize that his lonely existence is a result of his own choices, it becomes even more poignant.
