    7 points. The second of the trilogy of English literature, Dickens' brutal class education and the acquisition of love, is almost discounted in Lean's adaptation. The beauty is the introduction of the characters' appearances by quickly flipping the opening pages, as well as the careful composition and beautiful mirror rotation of multiple photography. The dialogue benefits from the original, which is very subtle. Regrets: 1. The casting of the adult protagonist is too mature, and the age...

    Every time I read something like this, I feel that the original must have been beautifully written. The video I downloaded was so broken that it made the film from the 1940s look more retro. The hero is too...

    I'm going to be a gentleman - says young Pip. What a great dream to be a gentleman for a child who has never entered the upper class. When the beloved Miss Estella marries someone else. When the halo of the upper class in his heart receded, he returned to his hometown calmly. I have never experienced it, so I yearn for it; because I understand it, I leave. Fame and fortune, everything is a cloud, only the true love and belief in the...

    David Lean's relatively compact film, Jane Simmons shines brightly, the young Pip is completely disabled, and he likes the role of the blacksmith. The competition between the two children reminds me that I watched countless versions on TV when I was a child--- 2 people punch the same...

Great Expectations quotes

  • Pip: Mr. Wemmick, I don't quite know what to make of Mr. Jaggers.

    Mr. Wemmick: He don't mean that you should know what to make of him. Deep, that's what he is, as Australia.

    Pip: Who was that he shouted at so fiercely in the office?

    Mr. Wemmick: That was his housekeeper, name of Molly. He got her off on a murder charge.

    Pip: Murder? Isn't he frightened of having her about?

    Mr. Wemmick: Not him. When you come to see us again, take a good look at her.

    Pip: Shall I see anything very uncommon?

    Mr. Wemmick: You'll see a wild beast tamed. Keep your eye on it.

  • Pip: Why are you going to Richmond, Estella?

    Estella: I am going to live, at a great expense, with a lady there who has the power or so she has of taking me about and introducing me, and showing people to me, and showing me to people.

    [sipping tea]

    Pip: You'll have a gay time and be much admired. You must look forward to that, Estella.

    Estella: It's part of Miss Havisham's plan for me, Pip. I shan't take any great pleasure in events which I don't shape, but I shall be beautiful and I shall be gay, I shall be obedient and I shall write regularly of my gaiety.

    Pip: Will you always be part of Miss Havisham's plan, Estella?
