    A bold adaptation. The new deconstruction of the character's perspective is a surprise beyond expectations. The visual experience is wonderful, and every character can comment on the canvas of life. David Copperfield of Indian origin, Agnes of African origin, this is an unprecedented innovation in casting. I am very happy to see that so many actors of multiple descent have broken through the restrictions of race and color on their acting career, and only judge heroes based on acting skills and...

    Compressing a large, rich, meaningful, and numerous original work into a two-hour movie, there are many rushed or broken places, and it feels like a mini-series would be a more suitable format. But the supporting characters who appeared on the stage, from Tilda to the uncle of the house, and then (with a wonderful head shape, almost ==) Ben Meow, it is interesting to provide a strong support for Dev Patel in their respective parts. This kind of simple human beauty story and educational growth...

    The cross-ethnic casting is very bold. The story that follows is as magical as the casting. If it can be handled well, it would be quite unconventional, but the narrative and editing are messed up. The biggest contribution may be to once again gather 38 actors in the...

    It's not a magician's story, but a film adapted from a novel by Dickens. The cast is very luxurious and the plot is very streamlined. Not only does the storytelling according to the chapters fail to make the story line clear, but it seems that there are big gaps between the time periods, and the fancy shooting techniques are superfluous. There are too many slots in the film. It is just one of them that the character still wears the same clothes and makeup after several years. The director...

    Very boring, unable to grasp the main point, not to mention how many people in the country have seen Dickens, it is too runny to watch a biopic. I feel that there is really no market for this kind of film (if it is...

    If you don't know anything about the original work, you will probably see it in a cloud of mist. Some places are deliberately shot very nonsensical, but it's hard to...

    When I was in elementary school, I read the original novel and I remembered it as a very bitter and hateful novel, but the candy-like tones, fancy transitions and exaggerated facial expressions made the movie...

    The cast is luxurious, and Tilda, which I like, but the minority actors really make me jump out of the play (actually contrary to the original, this may be the black humor carefully set by the director)! This film is a very innovative adaptation, but it is very unfriendly to the original party. Here, David Copperfield was rebellious, and he assumed the role of the protagonist in his autobiography. So he can also jump out and say to himself when he was a kid, "you will get through it". The...
