A link of the trailer of the film
Directed by Mike Newell and the screen play was written by David Nicholls. I personally really enjoyed watching this film although I feel it was squashed certain points to briefly although the film is around two hours old It did under play certain moments. Although I love the charachter of Ms Havirsham Helena Bonham Carter Is a much Loved actress of mine and I couldn't think of anyone else to portray Ms Havisham as she excels in odd and wonderful rolls. Com paired to the Tv series the film is more flamboyant and theatrical which adds life the story. AlthoughI might add that personally nothing can be better than reading the book but the closest that I've enjoyed is watching the Tv series on bbc 3.
I love how every interpretation I have seen they always fixate on the drama when Pip first meets Estella and Miss Havisham. You can see the fear in Pip and Miss Havishams spots that and makes a remark ' Your not scared of a women that hasn't seen the sun since you have been born are you' in quite an aggressive condescending tone of voice. Then she demands him to 'play play go on play' knowing that Pip being poor wouldn't be used to being told that and goes against what he knows as hard work.
Holliday Grange plays the role of Estella in the film. Holliday is the perfect example of a natural beauty, she plays the role of going from innocent and misunderstood to harsh stern and knowing her goal very well and using her natural beauty to allure and seduce who is played by Jeremy Irvine although handsome and sweet looking I'm not sure that the role entirely suited him as he seemed out of place in certain scenes as I felt his accent didn't always stay the same. I'm glad I watched the film as its helped me get a better picture of how to adapt the story and create my characters with still being true to Charles Dickens story line. This wasn't my favorite adaptation of great expectations although Helena properly made me like it more as her make-up was grotesque in the most beautiful form from the rotting teeth to the dark eyes she screamed of betrayal, lost and over all just the corpse of a once happy person and I would like my final to speak to people just by them looking at it.
