I've seen several versions of Oliver, and this one is the least demonic, and at the same time, it's a little bit lacking in...

I didn't like the original book "Oliver Twist" very much at first, and then I didn't like David Lean more and more. This film can only be said to be mediocre at best, and there is no bright spot. The problem is that there are only one scene in the original book and this movie, and oliver just wanders in one scene after another, from dark to light and then from light to dark, without seeing his characterization and character as the protagonist. I don't think the impact of a story trickling down...

Compared with the sparseness of the original novel, the film adaptation can be described as drastic in terms of narrative rhythm. An important story line in the original is deleted and merged, so the narrative rhythm becomes compact and fast. The black-and-white image perfectly recreates the underclass of the dark, impoverished 18th-century foggy capital, and the heavily used slanted composition accentuates the characters and scenes. The most worth mentioning should be the dog of Sykes. When...

Three-and-a-half stars, most movies based on famous novels in the 1940s and 1950s are star-making movements, but David Lean's Oliver Twist is still very conscientious. The lighting set has a classic beauty, and the British atmosphere of the streets of London is also reflected. The shortcomings are often seen in old movies. The plots are incoherent, and the actors' performances are too dramatic, but the eyes of the young actors in this film are very...

The adaptation is too simple, omitting the long experience of Oliver's life, and the rhythm of the second half is too fast and dramatic, I prefer Polanski's...

I still like the exaggerated faces in the old movies. Who is fierce and who is evil is very...

The above translation is good, but the plot is too...

This is too old to watch anymore, plus the soundtrack is like watching a horror...

[Review] Some scenes with high black and white contrast, expressionistic lighting, close-up faces, and the plot are like watching a wonderful noir movie. I love this ending--the three grandfather and grandson walked forward together towards the door. At first, I didn't find Alex Guinness, and Diana Dors (the future British Marilyn Monroe) who gave birth to Oliver's...

The ultimate use of light and shadow, the opening paragraph is shocking. I have always wondered how some of the scenes in the film were done, such as the compound house number in the flash of lightning (waiting?), the trembling dog (feeding medicine?). Except for the last minute, the whole chapter is filled with a gloomy and eerie atmosphere (Guinness, a sportsman, actually plays Gargman), and the characters' immersive mime expressions, although I haven't seen the remake, but at least this...
