      Great Expectations--A clichéd Plot is A Beautiful Story

      This story, summed up in one sentence, is the story of a poor boy who went to the upper class in pursuit of a rich girl. But Dickens wrote it very romantically and beautifully. Little Boy: When I was young, I planted a good fruit tree. Years later, this kindness grew into a towering tree, blessed him, and helped him realize all his dreams. Is there anything better in the world? This may be the greatness of great writers. Even a small detail can add depth. This story didn't move me, but...

      The bewilderment of beauty in the familiar and the unfamiliar

      It is unforgettable that there is a little boy on the beach, holding his little notebook, and drawing fish!
      Why draw?
      I think this film gives the most complete answer! Everyone will have different reasons, the only one that is the same is familiarity , an unfamiliar familiarity.
      This kind of unfamiliar familiarity has always permeated the entire film, and it is also the source of maintaining the aesthetic power. Everything is so alienated yet familiar. For FIN,
      first of all,...

      Great Expectations, 1998 edition

      In the past two days, I watched the movie "Great Expectations" based on Dickens' novel of the same name. I checked the Internet and found that nine of the famous novels have been adapted into movies, and there are even Indian and Australian ones. There are also a few TV shows. I found six films here, one of which is still in English and cannot be watched. So it took two days to read Dickens's original work again, and then read the remaining five books in turn.

      dislike

      Compared with Great Expectations, there are a lot of checks.
      The consensus is that many movies based on famous books are terrible. The charm of the novel lies in the appearance of the protagonist that everyone can imagine, which makes the image of the protagonist ever-changing, so the characters appear full. Who is the protagonist and what kind of official author is left to the readers' imagination. It is also a space for readers and writers to communicate. ——Thanks to the novel as a...

    Movie quotes

    • Finn: What's it like not to feel anything?

      Estella: Let's say there was a little girl, and from the time she could understand, she was taught to fear... let's say she was taught to fear daylight. She was taught that it was her enemy, that it would hurt her. And then one sunny day, you ask her to go outside and play and she won't. You can't be angry at her can you?

      Finn: I knew that little girl and I saw the light in her eyes, and no matter what you say or do, that's still what I see.

      Estella: We are who we are. People don't change.

    • Finn: Seven years passed, I stopped going to Paradiso Perduto, I stopped painting. I put aside the fantasy and the wealthy, and the heavenly girl who did not want me. None of it would happen to me again. I'd seen through it. I elected to grow up.

    • Finn: The night all of my dreams came true, and like all happy endings,It was a tragedy, Of my device, for I succeeded. I had cut myself loose from Joe, from the past, from the gulf, from poverty I had invented myself. I'd done it cruelly, but I had done it. I was free!
