Reaction to the Radical Translation of Great Expectations

The novels main idea was kept in the film but was more aimed and changed for the viewers of the modern age. The film was change a bit because of the different ages. The 19th century England is much different then the United States today. Although that some characters names and some of what they do changed, the same concept is used. I believed the movie was very similar to the text and the film gave it that extra step to be a good film. The changes I'm my eyes made the film much better. The film does maintain the integrity of the text. It maintains the same purpose and plot of the text. It maintains the same emotions, actions, and Passion that the texts shows through out the novel. I think the changes made by the screen writer was made for the better. I believe that the changes gave the film that extra little bit to catch the young and older viewers. I think the change in setting was a great choice, it gave the views the sense that they can relate to the film. The changes were for the better and I loved the movie.
