I l...Andrew, I just finished Copperfield yesterday. I liked it, enjoyed my read, but there's a reason it fell by the wayside so long - I did not find it as gripping as Great Expectations which is not only my favorite Dickens (of the very little I've read anyway) but possibly my favorite novel full-stop as Allan Fish likes to say. DC was good but also very middle-class and settled in a way - most of the adventures seem to happen "offscreen" (like Pegotty's pursuit of Emily or Steerforth's seduction of same, or much of the Uriah Heep storyline) and there isn't the same turbulent, unsettled, yearning quality I found so enticing in Expectations. What did you think of that one?MovieMan0283http://www.blogger.com/profile/11238338958380683893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3592985394059172101.post-66578400340300213762010-01-04T22:34:23.864-05:002010-01-04T22:34:23.864-05:00Whoa.

But I was a stupid child. I'd heard a rumour they were planning to adapt it [again], which could be cool. Who'd you cast?Andrew: Encore Entertainmenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01104647944747041277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3592985394059172101.post-18548097318059465592010-01-04T23:11:23.466-05:002010-01-04T23:11:23.466-05:00That's a tough one - I'd have to think it ...That's a tough one - I'd have to think it over, but the ideal cast would probably span several eras in film (I thought Lean's GE was superb in evoking the Dickens mood but Valerie Hobson was a poor choice for Estella, Pip's passion for whom is the linchpin of the novel. I actually though the Cuaron update in '98, though limited in many ways, did a better job capturing the erotic draw of Estella with Paltrow).<br><br>By the way, let me know if you have any posts you want highlighted on that round-up I've been speaking of - hopefully it will go up in a few days.MovieMan0283http://www.blogger.com/profile/11238338958380683893noreply@blogger.com
