We've had pics of Jeremy Irvine and Helen Bonham Carter, but none of Holliday have surfaced. Even David Walliams has had an image of him as Pumblechook released, and his character is a lesser one that Estella. Can someone please tell me when we can expect at least one image of her?JDThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17343385911476921415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-2261783471552720392012-01-20T18:58:58.427+01:002012-01-20T18:58:58.427+01:00NIce, now I'm excited about the new movie vers...NIce, now I'm excited about the new movie version too.

It's a question of personal tastes. We can't all like the same things and people.

Maybe I had in mind the '98 adaptation more often than not, since I watched that movie for several times :)Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13519013112094411314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-69872923403640929852011-12-31T21:34:51.345+01:002011-12-31T21:34:51.345+01:00JDT

It was so beautiful, I remember I re-read the book, just so relive the moments. I am sure the BBC adaptation will be great, but I will check if it is as great as the one I saw years and years ago :)Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13519013112094411314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-53581671942828671552011-12-31T09:25:38.633+01:002011-12-31T09:25:38.633+01:00When I read this novel first time (not very long a...When I read this novel first time (not very long ago) after several others by Dickens, I found it incredibly unique: Dickens free from "fronzoli"and with less melodrama, if you know what I mean. The story has a perfect rhythm and the climax he created every two chapters makes you wish not to stop. He wrote this one with such craft and awareness that I think this may be considered his best achievement. <br />I too loved the soundtrack and ... much more in this adaptation. Thanks for your comment, Alessia.
