      Oliver Twist--May God Bless The Poor Orphan

      Charles Dickens' famous novel.

      Speaking of Dickens' novels, I really haven't read them well.

      Somer-Walter

      A leaf swaying in the wind should have fallen on the ground withered and turned yellow, or eaten by deer and sheep, but she quietly floated on the lake, drifting with the ripples to a place that should not belong to her. Many flowers have died before seeing the sun, and she has experienced wind, rain and scorching sun, and with the help of kind people, she saved her life and came to a world that looks beautiful but absurd. There are always opportunities, and the reason is very simple. She is...

      ~~

      The sense of joy is not enough, and it is more than rigid. Polanski compresses the plot and then compresses it to only two hours. However, condensing does not mean the essence, but eliminating the essence of the original work, so that I don't see the sadness and touchingness of the original work before, and then I don't see the funnyness of the original work. The joy and warmth of human affection are left, and there are only some mindless performances left, like a lame and clumsy play. I also...

      OLIVER!

      A few days ago, I searched the Internet for all the movies that have won Oscars. In the long list, I saw the name "Oliver Twist" at first sight. This is a film of the same name that was cut and supplemented by the works of the 19th-century British critical realist novelist Dickens. Under the almost perfect interpretation of director Roman Polanski, we deeply appreciate some things that may be warm or cruel.
         I like OLIVER's eyes very much. I think the director was inspired by seeing his...

      Well what I said was not the point.

      When we were still in junior high school, our family teacher took us to the cinema to see this film.
      After all, he is relatively young, and it is Jack who has a deep memory in his memory, because he is very handsome-- It seems that even at a relatively young age, he has already shown his true nature as a nympho.
      Later, I tried to find his information but could not find it. Rewatched the movie a few days ago. Still handsome. Too bad the ending didn't mention him.
      I haven't read...

      The cinematography is great, the different tones separate time and space well, and the edges and corners are pleasing to the eye. The plot is very reserved, flat and straightforward, eliminating the ups and downs. The characters are also very restrained, the villain is not ruthless enough to be funny, the evil image is not established, and the boy's clarity is also a little dull. Living in those times is actually quite helpless. There is no absolute good and evil, but only forced by life. The...

    Movie plot

    In Britain in the 1830s, a baby boy fell to the ground in a slum on a cold, windy night. After the baby boy was born, his mother died. No one knows the identity of the mother, and the baby boy becomes an unknown orphan. Later, he was adopted by the local church, and the female steward who raised him named the baby boy Oliver (Barney Clark) . When Oliver was 9 years old, because there was no one to support him to go to school, he...

    Behind the scenes gags

    In order to better understand the role, Ben Kingsley will greet the staff and other actors at the shooting scene every day as Fei Jin   .
    At the shooting scene, Ben Kingsley’s over-investment in the role caused him to forget the director’s name, so that when Polanski appeared on the scene, Ben Kingsley’s first sentence was to ask who he was   .
    When filming "Oliver Twist", the clothes Ben Kingsley wore were antiques from the 19th century...

    Evaluation action

    "Oliver Twist" makes the audience look very smooth and not dull   . While fully embodying the spirit of the original work, the film no longer focuses on the darkness and depression, but deliberately explores the fate of the children   . The tragic element of the film is greatly weakened, and the mountain road from Oliver to London is full of golden yellow. Although this is a wandering road that tastes the warmth of the world, it makes...
