    Both Dickens' novel and Carol Reed's film are seriously outdated, because the days when characters could be distinguished purely by good and evil are long...

    After reading the original book during college, I searched for N versions to read in a fit of rage. The one that impressed me the most was the musical version, which was both joyful and sad. I accidentally read a black and white version in high school, but I clearly hadn’t read the original. , crying to become a...

    The performances of the protagonists are very mediocre, but the grafting of musicals makes the original work a joyous new year. Basically, the passages of each song are very successful, but the ending is not strong enough, and the satire of British society in the 19th century is not enough, but overall is a very good...

    Oliver Twist in the form of singing and dancing, the tune is extremely joyful, and there is an inexplicable sense of irony. There were many adaptations, and Fagin became one of the protagonists, and his two songs were interesting, even endearing. Oliver is pure, but thin in comparison. Ten years later, Oliver and the little slicker meet again, what is the scene? Give Oliver a middle-class background, and return to his own class after a dream, what does it...

    It can be seen that the director's ambition is quite large. The scale of the entire musical is aimed at the handed down classics such as the truth, the good and the beautiful or the song in the rain. The scheduling of the scene is grand and complicated. The square dance after the halftime is the essence of the film. But Oliver Twist, a literary masterpiece that depicts reality and cruelty is really not suitable for adaptation into a musical. The weight of the original work is all lost after the...

    High degree of reduction

    The set and the characters are well done. The adaptation of the famous book should respect the essence of the original. Dickens’s novel was born after the implementation of the Poor Relief Law in the United Kingdom. The compassion for the poor at the bottom has been publicized in the new version of...

    Gentleman and survival

    The first musical to watch. The live-action version of Disney’s singing and dancing is overflowing, but the arrangement is more refined and attentive, the scene and the music are smoothly and beautifully, the flying of the musical and the solemn combination of the movie are perfect. The picture of...

  • Bill: You can keep the books. Start a library!

  • [last lines]

    Fagin: [singing] Can somebody change? It's possible - maybe it's strange, but it's possible. All my dearest companions and treasures, I've left them behind/ I'll turn a leaf over/ and who can tell what I may find?

    [he starts to walk towards London Bridge when Dodger appears behind a post-box]

    Fagin: Yes? Young man? And do I have the honor of your acquaintance?

    [Dodger shows him a wallet he has just stolen]

    Fagin: Lined?

    Dodger: Only the best. Lovely workmanship, ain't it?

    [Fagin takes the wallet, looks inside and smiles]

    Fagin: [sings] I'm reviewing/ the situation...

    Dodger: Once the villain, you're a villain to THE END!

    Fagin: Your light fingers.

    Dodger: Your inspiration.

    FaginDodger: What a team!

    Dodger: Am I your partner?

    Fagin: More a friend. For your talents are employable/ so make your life enjoyable/ a world with pockets open wide/ awaits your whim to grope inside...

    Dodger: Collections undetectable...

    Fagin: We might retire respectable!

    Dodger: Together till our dying day!

    Fagin: The living proof that crime can pay!

    FaginDodger: I think we'll have to think it out again! Hey!
