  • its old but its great literature. who can write like Charles Dickens in todays market of literature?, an absolutely great writter,

  • I am 14 and almost done reading it for honors English. It's an amazing book to analyze... everything in this book has a hidden meaning to it. Some things in the book have to be read over a few times to be understood properly, but it's worth it!

  • fuck yer this sucks balls

  • Just read that someone died of a heart attack at the premiere of this film because of the moment at 1:45 .. They weren't used to getting surprised like that back in the 40s!

  • @flowerbower The evidence speaks for itself. And don't get me started on the highly unlikely graveyard scene from Great Expectations; a scenario which has since become one of the most stupid of film cliches.

  • @flowerbower Sloppy? Are you mad?

  • Lean was a sloppy director: watch out for the scene near the end of the film, where a moving motor vehicle can clearly be seen in the distance. Any competent director would have re-shot the scene or temporarily held up the traffic.

  • This church is a real place and when the mist and the fog rolls in,you too, could meet Magwitch.just look it up COOLING. KENT UK

  • I'm playing the convict in a play so thanks for uploading this

    

  • Where was Youtube 20 years ago when I had to read the entire friggin book in high school?

  • just read this again for the first time in a long while.....the chapter where Magwitch reappears at Pips lodgings is one of my favourite scenes in all literature.
