I haven't read the original book, and I've only seen this version of the movie, and I'm not familiar with the director. The following are just my impressions of this movie.
Oliver is timid and cowardly, not as brave as the protagonist of a certain type of movie (but he also has the aura of the protagonist), when Bill and another villain forced Oliver to go to the old gentleman's house to steal (the climax of the whole play), he still obediently opened the door, Finally, I asked for help from Mr. The old man told his friend that there was something about Oliver that moved him, it was his kindness, and the old man believed him involuntarily.
As the title, the natural reaction is on the face, Oliver's actors are well chosen, and the feeling of vulnerability, innocence, helplessness, and pure kindness is sufficient.
Because of Oliver's face, he was helped and cared for by the judge, the old woman, the clever ghost, the old fee, Nancy and the old gentleman. Similarly, his innocent and kind face is also his weapon, so Bill and Lao Fei tied him tightly, trying to make a lot of money from him.
Lao Fei's kindness is not pure. For those displaced children, he gave them room and board, and taught them the survival skills of pickpocketing. Because Oliver's face has the most business opportunities, he does not deny that it also gives him love.
The clever ghost took Oliver back to the organization and gave life-saving help at that time, and was also moved by the pitiful and helpless face at that time.
