It has been two years since the movie was released, and I finally found it on my hard drive today.
After all, the movie is only two hours long, which is naturally too much for fans of the original book. The director has cut down a lot of characters and plots, and Oliver's life experience is not mentioned.
The remaining few characters are also difficult to show in a short period of time. "Old Jew" Fagin is not so evil and cunning in the film, and his face is hideous. I don't even think he is deadly sinful; the kind and kind Mr. Brownlow The scenes were pitifully small. During the time when Oliver was taken back, there was no mention of his anxiety and sadness. Oliver was brave and kind and a little dull, but there were a lot of clever ghosts and big dogs vying for scenes.
The twists and turns of the original novel are only the outline in the movie, but there are still a few scenes that remind me of the touch of reading the novel back then. I believe this is also the classic and shocking place that the novel belongs to readers all over the world.
When Oliver held up his bowl and said he wanted some food, several deacons in the church shelter looked furious and frantic; the coffin shop owner felt a little pity for Oliver, and he hesitated for a moment when raising the battle; When he arrived, he was at a loss when he stepped forward to embrace Bill; at last, Oliver visited Fagin, who was about to be executed, and the complicated emotions in his eyes. And so on.
But the movie is not a novel, and London Bridge does not represent the history of British bridges, nor the whole of London.
It may be only for us to remember this great novel if there are actual pictures and scenes to reproduce.
