Great Expectations Reaction

The book was written so long ago that trying to make a translation that isn't somewhat radical is rediculous. No one, except Mrs. Callaghan, would go see it. No one would see it because it has also been done at least 10 times and there wouldn't be any other small subtle twist to put on it except the fact that the characters would be new. The radical translation made something old, new again by restoring it to fit real and modern life. The film really didn't ruin the integrity of the book because the main idea wasn't harmed. There still were many expectations placed on Pip/Finn. The director and screenwriter had to change the book in certain parts. THE BOOK IS SO OLD IT HAD TO BE CHANGED. The director and screenwriter did what the had to do to make a modern movie and to make money.
