I admired the famous name for a long time, and I never had a chance to watch it. Finally, I stayed up all night to read it. The following comments are only made by individuals watching the video, only for the sake of common ground.

The film tells the story of orphan Oliver's journey from orphan to lucky.

Whether it was being forced to leave by drawing lots in the factory because of insufficient rations, or beating up an apprentice in a coffin shop and running away, everything was fate, maybe everything was meant to propel him to London. Oliver is weak throughout, except for beating up the apprentice for humiliating his mother. He seemed to be pushed away by fate. When he first arrived in London, Jack took him into the wolf's den, and then he was misunderstood and arrested at the police station. After clarifying, he was able to get along with Brownlow.

During the viewing process, I paid attention to Oliver's movements throughout the whole article, and hated those who harmed Oliver. I wanted Oliver to be happy and have no more suffering. But after reading it, I found that no one is Oliver, the other children in the factory are not Oliver, the apprentices are not Oliver, those orphans are not Oliver, maybe Oliver should have been a young master living in a rich family from the beginning, but by chance he entered The clutches of the world, and eventually he will return to his world. But those orphans were orphans from the very beginning. They were not born so beautifully, they didn't have a home that could shelter them from the wind and rain, and they didn't have family members who believed in their kindness. In the end, the fate of the orphans was not explained. Maybe they will still be pickpockets on the street? Or will the police help them go to the orphanage? I think they will still be the same as before. At the end of the film, Oliver happily walked into the house with his family. But I'm always thinking about the orphans, where would they be. They don't have that kind of luck, no protagonist halo.
