I like OLIVER's eyes very much. I think the director was inspired by seeing his pure eyes with a hint of melancholy when he chose actors. In fact, it was the 1948 version that won the Oscar, but I still chose the 2005 version to watch. There are two reasons:
1. From a technical point of view, the 2005 version will definitely have an advantage over the 1948 version. Whether it is the lens or the framing, it will definitely be more avant-garde.
2. From the perspective of people's appreciation, the 2005 version should be more in line with today's people's way of thinking and understanding of problems.
Of course, the above are just personal opinions.
The film tells the story of a wealthy abandoned baby Oliver, who was oppressed by hunger and cold, and after dealing with all kinds of people who may be kind or vicious, he was finally adopted by a kind person and lived a happy life. The film most truly reflects the darkness and inhumanity of the society at that time. The ugliness and beauty in the hearts of people at that time can be seen at a glance. One of the episodes that shocked me to the point of tears was when Nancy reported to Brelow despite the burglar's surveillance and threats, only to be beaten to death by the thief. At that time, it was really difficult for me to quell the anger in my heart, but then I thought, instead of living in this world and continuing to be used by bad people and endure humiliation, it is better to go to eternal freedom in this way, and to atone for what I have done before. Bar. This is also a relief.
Usually movies that reflect social phenomena will give people a strong sense of depression. The effect of the picture is mainly gray and dim yellow, but in this movie, I accidentally gained a scene of beautiful rural fields. The bright golden yellow is intertwined with the elegant blue, which seems to be a foreshadowing for the later turning point of the protagonist's fate. I think this is the reason why the 2005 version has been praised by people all the time.
Naturally, I have to sigh that the actor's acting skills in the movie are really wonderful, except that Barney Clark has a pair of pure and melancholy eyes as mentioned just now, but also has an innate otherworldly kindness. I don't know how he managed to play the characters so well, almost exactly like the characters in the original book. I believe that many people will secretly leave little Clark's immature face in their hearts after watching this film.
To sum up, this is a successful film, although it did not win an Oscar like the 1948 version, but I think the director's goal at the time was not necessarily just for that award, but to make people better Learn about this work and feel the cold and warmth of the world...
