This reminds me of the greatest adaptation of A Christmas Carol ever made: the Blackadder one, where he starts out as a good person and then the Christmas ghosts show him why he should be a complete bastard instead. It's pretty amazing that nobody else ever thought of doing a flipped version of the story (probably somebody did and I've just never seen it).
Started watching Blackadder recently, it is truly something man. The episode where he marries, the ending was the hardest I've seen British black humor go in a while. On the nose with something so taboo they can't give it a laugh track, jeez.
