It can't be regarded as a classic, but it is still of high quality. I guessed that I won't talk about oliver's life experience, and I also deleted two main characters. After watching it, I felt very angry at first. I can understand that if this is put into the movie, it may take too long. It's long and a bit far-fetched. Oliver met his grandfather the first time he went to the street to steal. It's a coincidence. But doesn't this also lose some sense of suspense? Polanski's personal style in this film is still relatively strong, and the picture is beautiful like an oil painting. The beginning of the orphanage and wandering is simply shocking. He is still very tragic in his performance, after all, he has experienced the Nazi massacre. Speaking of which, Fagin, a Jew in the movie, did not mention him. It's a Jew. Well, I think it's necessary to say this, the movie's handling of him at the end is a bit too emotional...Is Polanski sensitive? Gothic..;
I like Nancy in this, the tidbit says she is a fallen angel, I think it's a good point! I like this kind of character, she is a bit like Eponine. Not an absolute bad person, nor an absolute good person.. This version of nancy is much better than the BBC version. The
little boy is very cute, and the cast is very well chosen. It hurts to watch it..
