That's Life.

Life sometimes has to come to an end, and there is no need to force it all the time, probably because Dickens wanted to sigh the deepest in his later years.
The most touching feeling when I see his works is why there are so many poor people and so many orphans.
In this film, Pip is a diaosi who wants to change his life.
Since childhood, he has been inspired to counterattack to get the goddess.
He never thought about how to use his own hands to change his life, but he always thought about the sword in his heart.
Fortunately, he helped the fugitive to become the object of his mysterious sponsorship.
He successfully counterattacked.
Forgetting the book, he even started to look down on the people around him.
When the goddess ran away and the money was gone, it wasn't that she used to get along day and night to teach him the craft, and her brother-in-law helped him.
He was not rich.
But he begged.
Eventually the goddess has turned black fungus to come to him.
But he was full of emotion and disheartened.
No matter how the world changes over time.
Fate is always the trickiest.
Maybe only a rough life can see the light of God.

    Bought the book and watched the film because of the sympathy for the bbc Dickens documentary life

    Not working. . . . A good classic is condensed into 2 hours. . . . Nothing was explained clearly. . . . .

Great Expectations quotes

  • Estella: Drummle died two years ago. He was kicking his horse, and the horse kicked back.

    Pip: I'm sorry to hear that. I'm sorry for anything that brings you sorrow.

    Estella: Well, rest assured, I feel none. My husband and I made each other perfectly miserable - just as intended. I have been bent and broken, but I hope into a better shape.

  • [last lines]

    Estella: I had heard that you were here and thriving, and I had a desire to see my old friend. My only friend.

    Estella: Every last minute? You said that you would always think of me.

    Pip: And I have.

    Estella: That you would think of the good in me.

    Pip: Always. You're a part of me, Estelle.

    Estella: You were on a ship, they said. On the river...

    Pip: I love you, Estelle.

    Estella: [a tear of relief] I'm glad.
