Oliver Twist

I shared the movie Oliver Twist in the Star Movies with my pregant wife yesterday night.Generally,this channel shows shoot-'em-up and thrilling films but this time it gave the masterpiece by Charles Dickens.
We both were attracted by this poor orphan's life full of frustrations.
He bear neither the parish authorities' insufficient food nor the mistreatment of coffin shop owner and escaped to walk to Lundon for his fortune.Unfortunatelly,he,hugry and sleepy,fell into a snare laid by the young thief Dodger and had to join the gang,accepting the gang's chief,Fagin's training to be a thief.
Oliver encountered a warmhearted writer,Mr. Brown,which I guess,his prototype is Dickens,in a accidentally drop of stealing.Brown saved wounded Oliver as his prentice in his family.When my wife saw this situation,she heaved a sigh of relief .But not very long,Oliver got in the trap again set by the thief gang because Fagin was afraid he will reveal all the secret. This made my wife sad out of short comfort a moment ago.
(To be continued.)
