    The meaning of the original book lies in the tragic situation and the filthy people it reveals, both of which have been diluted. What else is there to...

    Not as fun as the movie version, and the picture quality is a bit old. But it's so amazing that this kind of film can be made into a musical. Pay tribute to the novel author and...

    In Polanski, the story of such a pity and tear is very admirable and surprised that the director turned into a song and dance film. In my opinion, although it is not as strong as the famous Polanski version, it is much more interesting than the 48 version. We must know that the biggest fatal injury of adapting a masterpiece is that it is too rigid and plain. This is the last musical before the 2002 "Chicago"...

    To be able to make this story into a song and dance movie, I really admire the director and screenwriter's skill. Although singing and dancing are good, this style is really not my dish. The singing and dancing section in the pub has a deep...

    Compared with Polanski's version, the musical brings a silly cuteness. But the protagonist is so...

    The music can only be regarded as so-so. Some good scenes are extremely lengthy. Even the freeze-frame pictures of the opening half-time are so long. At the beginning, there are 4 minutes of cast and crew subtitles + sketch stills. I want to vomit blood. Stage movie is my least favorite early film form. Its annoying degree can be compared with the later DOGMA95 and...

    So what am I to do to keep sky so blue? Anything for you, my dear. It is also a musical, this one is better than Chicago. The version I watched is 147...

    When little Oliver was holding a broken bowl and asked pitifully: Can you give some more, he has won all the audience; the original work he read in elementary school, remembered the details will not be less than the movie show, more than two hours Musical drama, condensed plot for less than half an...

    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...

  • [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?

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