This film adaptation of the original book basically perfectly restores Dickens's work.

I admire its overall background effect, especially the use of color. From the dark world of dark black, to the bright world of light, sharp color contrast. All evil is carried out surreptitiously in the dark, and all good is shrouded in sunlight. There is a sense of being there, and this is probably the best movie viewing experience.

Oliver's tortuous life, a little boy who was poisoned by the dark world, but in the end he always upheld a kindness and a strong, unwilling to succumb to fate. Compared with other suffering children, he was lucky and was finally rescued from the sea of ​​misery by a kind gentleman, and was not eroded by darkness.

Instead, Nancy is the unlucky Oliver. When she stole for the first time, she was already on the road of no return. No matter how kind you are, there is no turning back. She protected Oliver, fearing that he would be hurt, go astray, and lose a sincere heart. Because she understands.

The most impressive scene is that Sykes hangs himself on the way to escape. He really reaps the consequences! Give him two words: deserve it! I have to applaud this ironic effect.
