    Classical Shuangwen routine, the son of a blacksmith jumped into the upper class with the help of a mysterious man, a little kindness in childhood was infinitely repaid, a criminal past was hidden behind the huge wealth, and a great future was finally broken. The childhood scenes are particularly well shot. The misty cemetery opens, the mysterious old woman in the spooky manor, the beautiful and arrogant girl of the same age, and the opponent boy who was defeated with one punch. The adventure...

    David Lean's early representative work, the best film adaptation of Dickens's masterpiece, the fifth place in the British Film Institute's "British Film History 100". 1. The classic scenes in the original work are truly restored, and the presentation of the 19th century British countryside and foggy atmosphere is also impeccable. 2. The scene in which the film Topper encounters a strong fugitive in a spooky cemetery has influenced countless horror films in later generations, and then the...

    Sometimes black and white is more expressive. The casting is too bad, otherwise I can give 4 stars. Are these middle-aged Pip and Estella? Teenage years were...

    Lean learned from Powell's gorgeous style, and it's better than the blue. The entire photography is amazing, a scene in the foggy graveyard, a group of dazzling skills, and the interior scenes of the two main scenes are also full of a surreal ghostly style, which just matches the film's reaction to aristocratic life and social class. . It's a pity that some of the actors' performances are too...

    The childhood part is good, Xiao Zhengtai and Jane Simon are very cute, but they both collapse when they grow up, old face Pip pretends to be young, Estella is too old-fashioned (in line with "old maid", but too unpleasant). There are also insurmountable breaks in the second half of the novel adaptation. However, the gothic atmosphere created by David even using light and shadow, voice-over, and scenes and the corresponding dark psychology are still quite impressive, especially the ending...

    This version and Kalou's version are good, but the heroine is bad and the hero is old. The characters should be in their teens, but the actors look like they are in their forties, with big wrinkles on their faces. In addition, I checked, he was indeed forty at the time, I...

    "Having been hailed as the best film ever made based on a Dickens novel, this film is more compact than Lean's later epics. It faithfully and vividly presents the British society of the year, and it is exquisitely produced. , the director, cinematography and art are all top-notch, and Pip's actors are a little older after the show, but the overall level of the film is very...

    The atmosphere created by this movie is dark and sad. The gorgeous manor is devastated, and the beautiful butterflies do not flutter their wings. They are only accompanied by darkness and closure, and the lighthouse that represents the hope of escape after the hazy fog actually hides a murderous intention-- ----The performance of the male protagonist at the beginning makes people feel that he is no longer sincere and loses himself because of greed and vanity, but the warmth and kindness of his...

    The finished product is good, but compared to the original, it is more streamlined, making the plot even more tedious and tedious; John Mills was in his 40s and turned out to be a 20-year-old Pip was too reluctant, but Valerie Hobson is quite handsome; Some details and the shaping of some supporting roles were not reflected in the film, but it was surprising that when Pip was walking in the swamp as a child, the inner monologue of the cattle and sheep was actually filmed, which can be said to...

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?
