Great Expectations 1998
by ashbourne2 @ 2007-12-19 - 08:17:04

GE
Based on Charles Dickens' 19th century novel, this updated version of Great Expectations is well cast but even more frustrating and irritating to me than the book was. The story quickly loses the plot. If you know nothing of the Charles Dickens novel you will enjoy this film but those not familiar with it will enjoy it.
I want to watch old version 1946, but it is not sold in Japan.

Great Expectations 1998 は Dickensの「大いなる遺産」の舞台を現代のアメリカに移しています。キャストはいいのですが、本を読んだことはある人にはフラストレーションが溜まるでしょう。読んでいなければ楽しめるかも。私は1946年に作られた古いバージョンが見たいのですが、日本ではその DVDは売られていません。

It must have been rather disappointing to find that the film wasn't up to your expectations!
It's a shame that the 1946 film isn't available there.

You put it very nicely, the film wasn't up to my expectations!
I prefer old English film.

It seems that you may not read other blogs and post comments. Why would that be ?
