Review of Oliver Twist (2005) by Roger T — 09 Jun 2009
I have always respected the work of Roman Polanski. My beef with this version is that certain parts from the book that I considered were important was left out. Other than that, its a brilliant book to film adaptation. Set in 19th century london, this is about a young boy's adventures, in the realist sense. I was impressed with how entertaining I found this film. Ofcourse, Polanski is magic. A strong recommendation.
Workhouse Boy: [Woken by boy pacing back an forth] Tom, give it a rest will ya? We're trying to sleep.
Hungry Boy: Can't sleep. Too hungry.
Workhouse Boy: We're all hungry.
Hungry Boy: Yeah, but I'm scared.
Workhouse Boy: Scared? Of What?
Hungry Boy: I'm so hungry I'm scared I might eat the boy that sleeps next to me.
