      To be the one.

      From the beginning to the end, the deepest reflection is that little Oliver is heading in the right direction he thinks, and must break through the unfair arrangements of fate. Many children are not full, but they all choose to be silent. Only little Oliver stood up and said: Can I have more? Perhaps, you can also guess that he was so naive, that he dared to ask this question. But later, every time he broke through the destiny and ran from darkness to light, he was destined to be different...

      High degree of reduction

      The set and the characters are well done. The adaptation of the famous book should respect the essence of the original.

      The story of the rebirth of a fallen aristocrat is very vulgar. After all, the root of Oliver's ability to escape his bad fate is that he was born noble, and he can jump from the bottom society to the upper class at once, but the fate of the children of other poor families still cannot be changed. Literary works are too romantic after all in the face of the real society. In other words, the author could not come up with a powerful and effective solution in the face of the cruel social reality,...
