Is there something missing in our humanity?

Oliver's story exposes the problems that existed in society at that time. This film is enough to make us in a peaceful era and happy life stop and meditate-is there something missing in our humanity in a society where human relations are cold?
Only by always firming up a kind-hearted nature can it be possible to get the blessing of justice. The fate of the orphan Oliver is undoubtedly horrible, but it is undeniable that he was always accidentally and timely rescued in the process of encountering misfortune. At first it was the judge who saw his immature face shining with tears and rescued him from the guardian; then, when he was dying on the road to London, he was kindly taken in and taken care of by the old lady; finally it was Gentleman Brownlow. Maintaining and nurturing him is the fate of getting rid of poverty and toil. Investigating its root causes, Oliver's favor was not accidental, but he always carried a kind and righteous heart with a firm expression on his face, and even his tears were so clear and sincere.
Although today’s society looks calm and peaceful, in the peaceful and prosperous times, it reveals a looming chill. This chill covers the warmth of human nature and makes communication between people difficult, and even more difficult. Don't talk about mutual love and mutual assistance. A harmonious environment is commendable. I hope this film can awaken the warm hearts of people and make our society more just and more harmonious.
