  • Does anybody know the tittle of the music played  in backround ?

  • @MilotGooner4Life  life in mono by mono

  • I have never watched this film and still can't bring myself to. I was brought up watching the black and white version of Great Expectations (the one with John Mills and Valerie Hobson as the leads). I have also read the book twice for English in school. I live in London and can't understand how the book makes sense not set there???

  • @malha29rocks if you don't wanna watch it , well that's fine.it's only just the greatest movie of all time.

  • what is the song name? someone tell me plzzz

  • OMG this movie has left a scar in me tht will be there forever when i was just in fith grade i watched it and i still remember were i was and wt i was doing it looked amazing through my eyes like something i had never seen before i fell in love <3

  • why do they have to grow up? i like the kids love. but the movie is great anyway.

  • /watch?v=PoEww6cgWhM&feature=y­outu.be

    

  • GREAT MOVIE,GREAT CAST AND GREAT SOUNDTRACK...i think this movie is so under appreciated...

  • this movie has haunted me ever since i was little, I'm 17 now, I don't know when it came out, but I saw the trailer as a little girl and the music and the scene with the fountain were stuck in my head, so now I accidentaly click on the trailer and I was like ... no way.... finally I found it!!

  • I have seen this movie when I was 9, somewhere in 2002 on TV.Even that I was young,I liked the story cause I'm a painter myself.When Internet became more popular,I wanted to download this movie,but I didn't know the title,neither the actors.I have searched many sites,and I couldn't find it.Until this day, January 11th, 2012,and I'm going to download it right away and watch it again,and since that I'm 18 now,I hope that I will understand the whole movie and all the things that I haven't before.

  • @NenadlPopovic I just did that, well I saw it when i was real little and i loved it....but i didnt understand it well, now, today, i saw it and.... its amazing, i loved it even more...

  • One of my favourite films!! I've also read some chapters of Charles Dickens' work, and I want to read the entire book, cause the story is amazing !!

  • UK version is much better :)

  • This song is by Mono and its called "Life in mono"

  • I saw it but it wasn't so good as I expected.

  • what is the name to the girl who singing song in the trailer?

  • i did watch this movie when i was 15(1999 on the tv).I didnt familiar these names Gwyneth Paltrow or ethan hawke or robert deniro). I just started to watch middle of the movie and when it end i was dreaming about my first love.LoL

    2000, I started to read the book. And i was really shocked. I remember i was very excited "oh this estella so similar to my estalla" or "oh finn, i know you".:D

    how i am silly.:)and then i find movie and i watched again again and again.not so much again. only 2 times

  • saw this movie as a kid around 8-9 i totally love it, i saw it actually many times and i never knew the title and now at the age of 15 i was trying to find the title when the name of Gwyneth Paltrow pop in my head and there's a voice telling me check her movie list check it and da-da she is in the movie!!

  • That fountain scene has been haunting me ever since I saw this movie, when I was really, really young. The whole atmosphere was just so utopic, and it had been wondering about in my head, with me not having a clue about who were the actors, or what the movie was even about, for so long, and I'd been desperately trying to remember it for years. I even started thinking it was just a figment of my imagination. Just a few minutes ago, the scene just appeared in a promo thing and so did the title. <3

  • the best movie of an eternity...

  • What is the name of the song? Love it! Can someone please tell me? thanks! :)

  • Omg! This looks good!

  • /watch?v=LwLG8-tjQzI

    :))

  • i actually really love this movie :) one of my favorites

  • worst adaptation ever

  • Mono, Life In Mono came on Pandora and I was drawn to see this trailer; didn't know why until 0:40

  • i want to know the song name :(

  • "even though I guarantee you that the girl will only hurt you

    terribly, you'll still pursue her."

    the greatest movie of all time for guys like me.

  • @raul7shane7marat

    buen gusto

    

  • Does this movie have anything to do with Charles Dickens´ novel or is it a completely different story?

  • @jsb175017 No it's 100% different story. No similarities!

  • @jsb175017 I'm sorry I was thinking of another story. Yes this movie is based off of Charles Dickens novel. It's a really good movie

  • Is Herbert or Joe or Biddy in this film?

  • ahhhhh old good movies...

  • one of my most favoritest movies ever.

  • @masterturk11 Mono-Life in Mono great soundtrack

  • any1 know the song?

  • God he was so hottt in his younger days, this looks like a good movie, im about to watch this right now:)

  • I actually think it's an amazing movie :\

  • @hatrang2111

    believe it or not, the director does not like his movie, Cuaron said he dislike the movie as a whole but also said that is beautiful shot by shot... breakes my hearth i love it is my top romantic movie ever. when i thick of ideal love i can not but to remember these...

  • To all those who haven't watched this yet, go watch it now. It is a great movie. SPECTACULAR. It made me cry, laugh, blush etc. :)

  • @AAABeckett

    It's by Mono. The song is called: Life in Mono

  • liked it

  • Hi, anyone know what song is this?

  • @AAABeckett life in mono dude by mono, formica blues album

  • just watchn this trailer... i like the story.... cud someone tell me the name of the book? @rexlakio ?

  • @zimmability it's the title of the movie itself, great expectations by charles dickens although the original story is way different and focuses more on some other things than seduction n lust :/

  • @zimmability It's the same title as the movie. Great Expectations by Charles Dickens.

  • I don't expect adaptations to be similar to novels; it never happens. However, as an independent film [once again], I thought the overall film made itself look bizarre, cliche, and void all at the same time as it struggled to be "artistic and deep." The storytelling was alright in the beginning, but once they "grew up" it descended into the most amateur script I've seen. It's one of those movies that get lost in the back of the blockbuster shelf.

  • whats the song?

  • this movie is so stupid. the book starts off with PIP not FINN in the graveyard, in KENT, ENGLAND, by his parents tombstones. The whole first few chapters are him in the MARSHES with the convict, and then later searching THROUGH the marches with sargeants. this fim is stupid. the beginning DOES NOT START on the beach in NEW YORK, AND THE CONVICT DOES NOT TRY AND RUN AWAY TO MEXICO.

    the whole point of it being in england is so PIP is sent away to LONDON to learn how to be a gentleman.

  • @TheFlynn13 this movie is actually very moving and painful to watch at times, but never stupid. Of ocurse its only an "adaptation" not an exact copy of the book or UK version. Its an American film so of course our "London" would be NYC. Use your imagination and the movie might be enjoyable.

  • @1976saavedra

    that's absolutely true. for me it's the greatest movie of all time.

    the way that finn loves estella is indescribable.

    it's not a movie . it's reality.

  • At the beginign of the trailer i was so amazed. Those kid i though its gonna be a really good movie. But then when they grow up the trailer seems to change into this modern mainstream lovestory. Pretty boring. They should have stayed in a different time and a different environment. The old house was amazingly cool

  • "The girl will only hurt you, but even so you'll pursuit her"..... I think I know it... I think I know it very well......

  • ...really looked up to her :)

  • MotherFuck!!! the story of my  life TT____TT

  • can anyone tell me the name of the little pretty girl??

  • @noufff1

    Estella. Or in real life?

  • @Champcelticsnumber9

    in real life :)

  • @noufff1 Gwyneth Paltrow

  • the lil girl was way prettier than the grown one

  • no no no no no no THIS IS NOT how I imagined it and it s not how it s supposed to beeee they ruined my .... vision? :D

  • Cuaron: Genial.

  • its such a good book but omg its so diffucult to read

  • I'm married to this movie! I've see this at least 10 times.

  • what is this?

    

  • This needed to be two movies. They tried to cram so much into this 90 minute movie. It starts out when they're kids and goes up to them in their 30s. So they brushed through a lot of details.

  • This is the hottest I've ever seen Gwyneth. Especially when she's in the turtleneck tank top and he lights her cigarette. Why doesn't she look like this all the time? She's gorgeous in this movie.

  • you did good martin well done, we remember when you just started back in the grovers days !!!!!

  • life in mono(soundtrack of great expectations)

  • I want the song, which is running on the background, any have the song? please upload.

  • Screw you all who insult this awesome movie, i don't give a shit what's the book like

  • I have just finished the book, and I have one simple word to describe it: fucking-awsome! On another hand I am still some interested in watching this movie, but thiking at it like at some completely diferent thing. I am sure that if I tryed to "see" the book I would be gravely dissapointed.

  • @worldsconnector Believe me, the movie is awesome but i am sure the book is different type of experience. Is the strong romantic aspect of the story present in the book?

  • @VicodinAddicted, I have'nt had the chance to watch the movie, yet, but I hope I will. Now to answer your question: No. Not if you expect chemistry, and lust, and sex (the things that we are so used with these days). But Pip is always in love with her, from childhood until the very last page. he does'nt wabble, never thinks about anybody else, he is surreal for me. no man can exist and be so. I think the book is worth the read, if not for the amazing character, then for the briliant writer!

  • @worldsconnector You are right, there is no such a person, but love is something we are all interested in and we like to idolize, fantasize and exaggerate... The writer must have been really into some blond babe when he dedicated whole stuff to her. If you do watch it, tell me what you think...

  • The plot of the original story is too complicated to fit into one trailer. Or one movie for that matter..

  • they fucked up the book...

  • this would look better as a softcore porno, hell all books would.

  • I love my candy celebrities.

  • This is definitely the last letter.

  • Any person could use their mind to change your movie. I might talk to another person in front of you. Don't change your movie. If you want to talk to me, then create a dream for me. I will talk to you here.

  • Backwards

  • The last letter.

  • We will both go back to our separate marriages. 

  • You were married, and you and another woman were superglued? Another woman said horrible stuff about your wife to steal you from your wife. Your wife is a lazy celebrity. Your other woman is very evil. Go back to your wife. If you must stay with a very evil woman, then don't let her effect you.

  • Backwards

  • I watched repeats of your films, because I loved your films. Our almost marriage is in the past. I don't think of it anymore. Thanks for using your mind to heal me. I feel a lot better. My exboyfriend is the singer of the cult. He used his mind to change my mind to specific beauty for specific letters. Men like me a lot, because of my personality. We're not destiny, because of a letter. I need to talk to people. You don't need to talk to people. We're different about talking. We're not soulmates

  • i watched it when i was 7,from that day i love blondes,now im 15, and ill love this film 4 EVER EVER EVER ! :( 

  • @NewYawker91 the song you are looking for is Siren by Tory Amos... hope it is useful :)

  • thumbs up for ruining a great book

  • @rexlakio this is one of my favourite movies...i did not know that its based on a book but i think that the actors did great job and the story is very good..its a really moving film!

  • @rexlakio

    Shut the mouth fucking

  • @rexlakio Hey, the movie is actually pretty good.

  • @rexlakio are u kidding me ? the movie its incredible

  • and a great book two

  • @rexlakio a really really great book....

  • I've seen the 1946 version but this one idk it looks like too much of a romance kinda drifts from the purpose of the book

  • What year was this movie made?

  • @lanaboo13ifly 1998

  • Love this movie! Beautiful xo ^L^

  • the book owns the movie alllll over

  • I don't know if anybody is aware of this or not, but swords will fucking cut you wide open.

  • loved watching this movie..

  • whats the name of the song

  • @peter7371 the song is "life in mono"

  • whats the name of the song?

  • so, this is based on great expectations by charles dickens, right? It seems almost exactly the same. Is this seriously a real movie? bcuz i seriously wanna see it

  • I would like to know what is the first song on this movie. Can somegody help me please?

  • @dziku727

    It's from a movie called Millers Crossing.. end titles or opening.. hope this helps

  • <3

  • Beautiful movie.  I almost cry T-T I think is my favorite Cuaron movie :D

    I feel so identified with the story...

  • favorite movie of all time. do watch it if you haven't, but don't compare to the originals...

  • Yes, his name is Pip in the book.. I wish people would stop comparing and contracting the book to the movie,,when the creators of this clearly wanted to go in a different direction.. If it didn't share the title people would be ranting on how it was a total rip off on his novel.

  • Wasn't his name Pip?

  • @Adeciede

    in karol dickens books- yes, he is. but not in film.

    and fim is a little different.

    i loooooooooooove that film! ;)

  • hermooso hermosos o es el mejor filmeeee de la historia!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Great Expectations Book > Great Expectations Movie

    Just saying. I've read the book first and its A LOT better than this movie. The movie was like a joke to me. The book actually made me cry at the end. :)

  • Disapproved.

  • 0:52 max caddy without hear hahahahaha

  • What is this movie rated?

  • Best MOvie eva!

  • What an interesting concept, an update of Great Expectations with a stellar cast. I'd never even heard of it and looking it up understand it didn't do to well. Experiments with classics often have a rough ride with critics and audience. Too bad. Why does the opening music sound like the theme from Miller's Crossing?

  • @deriter64 thank u, it was driving me nuts trying to remember where i heard that tune

  • @waddaho No problem, with an ongoing smile. Glad to do one useful thing and thanks for a nice reply.

  • This film looks really gud. I know a girl like that. I like her but its as tho she has no feelings for me in return, or for anyone, because shes had a troubled past and doesnt know how to love. Thats what this trailer reminds me off. Does this film hav a happier ending than my life story at the minute?

  • @deathwings11 It's been a while but I recall the story as a caution against obsession. You have to make yourself take things in stride sometimes b/c your emotions will want to go all in. I'd advise you not to try and be her boyfriend, simply be her friend. Date some other girls, there's nothing wrong with just dating. If you gain her trust then things will progress. She may need a lot of patience and understanding. Read 1st Corinthians Ch. 13 and pattern your actions and behavior after that. GL

  • @pjohn56 Yeah, its best to play it cool, not get too involved and be patient. Thanks, friend.

  • I'm reading this book right now.... I just felt the need to tell everyone that

  • This movie is incredibly sexy.

  • Lol were reading this book for grade 9 english right now and i got to say that its actually really good

  • i watched this movie when i was 8 or 9 and didn't find it until now. i'm so happy.

    btw, does anyone know the name of the song in this trailer?

  • @sikoo31 ''Life in Mono'' by Mono

  • VERY good movie but that dress estella is wearing at 0:40 is disgusting, FACT

  • its past present and future...in many twisted ways..

  • To you Janette, remember that time, as always. G.

  • mirupicud la canción se llama "Life in mono".

  • the book is in critisism on society, but the movie is much about love story. But both movie and soundrac is excellent.

  • COMO SE LLAMA LA CANCION?

  • @mirupicud la cancion se llama Life in Mono

  • AWESOME!!

  • Forget this movie ! It has nothing to do with the book !

    The Book "Great Expectations" is a MASTERPIECE

    A Must-Read one and go you better go get it !

  • @Whiplashx92 That's why it was promoted as ''loosely based on the book''. The movie was amazing that's right!

  • great movie

  • I am gonna tell the story the way I remember it - priceless
