Gentleman and survival

The first musical to watch. The live-action version of Disney’s singing and dancing is overflowing, but the arrangement is more refined and attentive, the scene and the music are smoothly and beautifully, the flying of the musical and the solemn combination of the movie are perfect. The picture of the movie is smudged with gray-brown tones, simple and solemn, and echoes the fog of that era (it seems that British film and television have its unique filter that allows you to distinguish with a word). The gap between the rich and the poor in the industrial era is already staggering, with muddy waste water channels, mottled and run-down buildings, dirty streets, and all kinds of people on the bottom of the margins-this is the residence of pickpockets; white and magnificent houses, fresh and clean parks, polite and polite The inhabitants of the rich people's areas are harmonious and beautiful, "Who wants to buy this wonderful morning". Olive is well-behaved and polite, while Nancy is very kind. Bill is undoubtedly the more profound portrayal of the characters in the play. It is said that he is supporting a group of children for pickpocketing, but he does allow these orphans in the fog to survive; he is selfish and regards wealth as fate, but it seems that only money can make him feel safe. He has an abominable face, but he is not unforgivable. Dickens' novels seem to have been discussing the topic of "what is a real gentleman", perhaps this is the honor and belief in the bones of Britain. Olive has gone through pain and drifting since he was a child, but he has not lost his precious heart. He is innocent, cute and polite, which makes people fall in love at first sight. A gentleman is firm and clear from the heart, and he shines even more under the hard polishing. The irony is the alley: the little clever dodge stays on the wall like a little adult, throwing the wallet stolen during the chaos to Bill, who has lost all the stolen treasures, just like the beginning of the movie, never changed. . But can you really blame him cruelly? Just as Nancy sings: "We can only live like this, but we are also very happy. That's enough." Bill needs his old age, Dodge needs to take care of him, to protect his survival, two People are mutual support, walking towards the end of the lane, ending in joyous singing and dancing. In the distance, the ancient blue and red orange clouds are dyed, and a sunrise is another tomorrow.

    It's almost 40 years ago. It's really well done~ I really like that little guy with melancholy eyes! It's just that modern people are still somewhat unaccustomed to watching these actors who dance and chorus at every turn

    There are several versions of Oliver Twist. The old version I saw before was too miserable. This version uses singing and dancing to add a touch of happiness to the heavy life. Oliver's innocent and pure breath, despite the difficulties and beatings in the orphanage and in the face of the funeral home, can still maintain his identity, which is commendable. There is no one-time villain like the slickness at the end of the film says, always a villain, and becomes another villain in a villain's environment.

Oliver! quotes

  • Nancy: I thieved for you when I was half his age and it's your dirty work I've been doing ever since.

    Bill: Well if you have it's a living ain't it?

    Fagin: Yes, a living is a living.

    Nancy: Some living, Lord help me, some living!

  • Bill Sikes: You're a fine one for the boy to make a friend of!

    Nancy: Yes, I am, Lord help me! But tonight he's a liar, and a thief, and all that's bad! Ain't that enough for you without beating him to death?
