Well, for those who haven't seen it, This is the best version I have seen of Great Expectiations, of course I'll leave that for you to decide for yourselves.
@clutteredmind9 Do you know where to find that version? I mean I doubt Blockbuster would have it....maybe the local library? Or do you know where I can watch it online? Thanks :)
ive only read the book and watched the movie (havent seen this version) but what a great video and the song really suits it. well done mayflowersoapqueen!
My name is Pip,(they had Great Expectations for me,I love singing this song.) I believe,"Fly on the wings,flying on the wings of my heart,I can Fly on the wings of my hear,There's a magic in you! You got me ,Baby!" Little" Love"
so real....this is life...and this is a dedication to love, unaffected, brave in the face of consequence....what an embodiment this video scenes ....they are woven so beautifully...mayflowersoapqueen - are you boy or girl...? whoever you are....you have been hurt in love to some extent...or it could be mere chance ...how closely this video depicts my experience with someone I will love forever ...
the song just goes perfectly with the video......n i love pip n estella of this version! they are exactly as i had imagined them while reading the novel.....perfect!
@mayflowersoapqueen Ive seen her in other BBC movies but I remember Estella being played by a blonde girl. Call me a sappy guy but I always wanted to meet the love of my life and have it be as blatant and clear as pip's love for Estella when he first saw her. I did have a crush but I let her go without telling her how I felt one of my big regrets. This movie is a testiment to how if you dont act you lose your chance.
Yes it does. It makes constant referances to how Pip becomes more in love with her every time he sees her, describing her as a "ravishing young woman" among other artful depictions.
This looks great. I have only seen the American Version (with Gwyneth Paltrow is that it?) Anyway which ever it was ok but i really would like to see this version.
is this the original? i love the other version that little girl with the blonde hair was gorgeous and i love that scene where she kisses him at the fountain. i love the music too.
Estella was trained by Mrs. Haversham to break men's hearts so as she might get revenge upon them? Really? I always thought it was because she needed the tears of men in order to power her Genesis Device and take over the world with her army of robotic spider monkeys.
@zii90 You are partly right. Mrs. Haversham didn't want to take over the world. Mrs. Haversham hated men so she had Estella break men's hearts so she could use the tears to power her genesis device to fuse her soul into Estella's which would allow her to go on breaking men's hearts for another generation.
@zii90 btw it's miss havisham...thats the whole story, shes not married so she wants to break hearts because her fiance only wanted her for her money and sent her a note on her wedding day that said he wasn't gonna be there... major mistake to make it mrs.!
@zii90 man, u came to the sweetest video on the web to shower it with such a disgusting comment. You must live a sick, disgusting, boring life and are so terrified of the future.
Really lovely. L L Love the choice of song it suits this particular adaptation of Great Expectations (BBC Tony Marchant) very well. I like the pace of the clips to the music. Thank you.
He also acted out William Wilberforce (one of my heroes) in Amazing Grace. He is a spectacular actor! At first I could not place him in this movie - I just knew I knew him! It hit me after a minute :+)
We watched this movie in the class the other day and there wasn't any of these scenes with Pip and Estella. Where can I find the movie that has every scene? Please help.
Phantomwaltz--Don't worry, we in England think he is QUITE attractive! He's been in several BBC's, but I like him particularly in Horatio Hornblower, which has a bit more humour and slapstick than most BBC series (and a substantial lack of romance), but he's got the heroic curly hair to pull off the role. I'd recommend it and "Amazing Grace." Then again, I've got an intellectual crush on Wilberforce.
This is a very good job! And your written summary is actually fabulous. Nicely done!
Whoa I never knew this guy was Pip in Great Expectations! I first noticed him in King Arthur as Lancelot, he was the only good thing about it even though all of my friends thought I was crazy for thinking he's good-looking. Fantastic Four doesn't do justice to his talents
I agree.... Fantastic Four DOES NOT do justice to his talents. I have seen six of the hornblowers in which he is excellent; but I don't like all the melee'... ;) In amazing grace he was excellent, great movie.
she was raised by miss havisham to be very bitchy to men so miss havisham could get revenge on men, as compeyson jilted her at the altar and got so sad bout it. remeba that estella's beauty was a pawn that miss havisham used to lure men and she would let estella break their hearts.
..I think that in the deep of her heart, Estella has always loved Pip,(and Dickens lets this aspect to the imagination of the reader)because she's grew up in similar condition as Pip,and she knows him very well.
Their conditions are different but similar..both have suffered the hegemony of two lunatic and frustrated adults:
Miss Havisham with her reverenge against men for Estella, and Magwitch with his idea of gentilman for Pip..

Great Expectations became my favorite book after I saw this adaptation on Masterpiece Theatre. However much I enjoy the movie, I found that the book is even better--deeper--and I read Great Expectations every year at Christmas break. How great are Ioan Gruffudd, Charlotte Rampling, and Justine Waddell? Thanks for this vid!
You are so welcome--I haven't read the book yet, but I plan to eventually. I just finished Jane Eyre, so I'm taking a break from the classics for a bit. I agree on the cast--just perfect!

Thanks--yeah, I had never read the book or seen any previous adaptions, so I was expecting more of Pip and Estella, but it was still a really good movie and I always love it when the love for someone never really dies.
i know i've seen the old adaptation of this film and it was suprising 'unromantic' and like you said surprised to fing that there wasnt more to do with pip and estella... i tried to read the book but its quite hard...
I think a good example of love that never dies is my favourite film tess of the d'urbivilles. when even towards the end he comes back and he still loves her and she still loves him. soo romantic..i love films like that...♥

i know i've seen the old adaptation of this film and it was suprising 'unromantic' and like you said surprised to fing that there wasnt more to do with pip and estella... i tried to read the book but its quite hard...
I think a good example of love that never dies is my favourite film tess of the d'urbivilles. when even towards the end he comes back and he still loves her and she still loves him. soo romantic..i love films like that...♥
