Revisit. Three times after six years, as the only Dickens I have read, I still remember most of the plots: the innocent girl and the heavy makeup old woman in the dilapidated mansion (Bancroft is really perfect casting), The Pool The kiss, the scene where the fugitive and Fein meet again after many years and leave in Fein's arms... Cuaron moved the background of the story from the UK to the United States, and London also replaced it with New York, and even replaced most of it The name of the character (the only thing that remains is Estella, the name of a great beauty who sounds like a charmer), although New York at the end of the 20th century is definitely more prosperous than London in the 19th century, but compared to the original book, it is completely reduced to a fast-food love story (others The roles of the supporting roles have been compressed to the maximum extent), the original book tells about the intoxicated fans of modern society far less than the sincere human emotions (the friendship between the protagonist and the brother-in-law / fugitive / Estella), the pattern is much higher than this version of the adaptation . But Cuaron is still very skillful in filming the ambiguous scenes between men and women. In addition to the long shot of the banquet-street in the rain-restaurant where the fiery emotions are concentrated, Estella's several provocative scenes are also charming.

Before opening it, I was thinking, Alfonso. It's still the script of a world famous novel, no matter how bad it is. -----did not expect. . It's really crappy. Moving time to the modern era, the irony of fate, the criticism of class, good and evil, honesty and hypocrisy in Dickens' original works are all gone. It turned into a vulgar romance! ! ! ! Really speechless.
