The British are very interesting. For example, the British have a very strong Dickens complex! Every year or 5 or 10 years, you have to remake a Dickens work, a BBC TV series or a movie! "Great Expectations" is a work that has been adapted several times. An interesting thing is that in those years, some domestic publishing houses once translated the title of the book into "Blood and Tears of Lone Star", which completely castrated the deep meaning of the original work, which is also a joke. This work is one of my favorites. Although I have seen several adaptations of this work, in my memory, the most classic is the 12-episode mini-TV that was broadcast on CCTV more than 20 years ago. The drama, story and characters are the best fit for the original! And I think Estella in it is the most classically beautiful and most appropriate of all the actresses who have played this role! At that time, CCTV regarded this drama as a treasure. It only aired two episodes every weekend, and watched it for six consecutive weeks. At that time, when there were frequent power outages in the urban area, there was no power outage for six weeks, which made me completely After watching this TV series, it is really not easy, fortunately! After many years, the conditions are better, I have been wanting to revisit this drama, and I also asked a few friends, but I can't find the source of the film, unfortunately! I don't know if I'll see this show in my lifetime! hope so!
Looking back, let's talk about this movie. "Great Expectations" is an important work of Dickens' mature period. To condense such an influential work into a 2-hour movie without losing the essence of the original work shows that the director, How important is the skill of screenwriters and actors?
As far as this movie is concerned, my personal feeling is that it is quite satisfactory, okay! I give four stars ⭐, three stars ⭐ for the movie, and one more star ⭐ for Dickens!
