I feel like this film rushes through the events included in the book, without providing sufficient reasons for action of some of the characters, therefore it makes it hard for the audience to identify with the characters.
When it comes to the cast, I think both actors and actresses did a great job. Even though the film was set in a different era, they all managed to make it seem like it was the present while watching the film.
I definitely enjoyed the visual aspect of this film- cinematography added to the writing version of this novel rather than just simply providing us with visuals that could go with it. An example of this would be when we see Pip at home and there is a lot of wide camera shots with bright lightening which makes him as a character look like his 'world' looks endless and very welcoming. However, as soon as he becomes a gentleman, we see a lot of close-up camera shots, darkness and rooms with no windows. This creates a very cold and not welcoming atmosphere.
Overall, this film is very short and misses quite a few scenes that were included in the book. However, the way this novel has been brought to life by Mike Newell, once again, in my opinion deserves some praise, simply because of the cast in this film. Everyone played a significant part in this film and contributed to the story very well. Each character has a visible on the screen 'soul' that made this adaptation different to all the others.
