Radical Film Translation of Great Expectations
After watching the film version of Great Expectations The film does maintain the integrity of the original text because it kept the main ideas from the book such as Pip(Fin) meeting Estella and falling for her and Miss.Havisham. The screenwriters put a modern twist when making the movie that made viewers today realte to the movie. Viewers today cannot relate to Pip who grew up in London and his great expectation is to be a gentlemen but they can relate to Fin a boy living a lower class life in Florida and dreaming of becoming a famous artist in New York. I feel that the movie is a lot more interesting because you can relate to the characters and also they took out a lot of unnecessary scene in order to make the movie less confusing.
