It is faithful to the book, particularly capturing the spirit of the book and the energy and constant tension of thestory.

The actors and actresses really captured the characters in the story.If you are a true Jane Austen fan, you will love this film.

《雾都孤儿》
Oliver Twist
2007
豆瓣评分:7.9
IMDb评分:6.9
剧透:改编自经典的狄更斯故事,一个孤儿奥利弗与伦敦街头的扒手相遇。天真无辜的奥利佛被他带到了教唆犯的老巢,最后被富有布朗洛先生带回家并得到庇护。
IMDb精选短评:Roman Polanski's film is an authoritative take on Dickens' classic. It is expertly paced, slowly immersing the viewer into the plight of the young orphan and its predicament in Victorian England. Through a meticulous period reconstruction, superb acting, and effective characterization (all the secondary characters are memorable), the typically Dickensian theme of the survival of Innocence against all odds is dramatized with utter conviction.《德伯家的苔丝》
Tess of the D'Urbervilles
2008
剧透:德伯以软言温存猎获了少女苔丝,但苔丝失身后不愿将错就错,而是坚持追求女人的独立生存、真实爱情和幸福婚姻,但当时狭隘的贞操观念,使得她面临着种种道德障碍,苔丝向这种道德观发起一次次挑战。IMDb精选短评:I read the book as part of my A2-Level English course, and then I saw the mini-series as both my English teacher and best friend recommended it highly. I loved the book, it is one of my favourite Thomas Hardy books, and probably the one I was devastated most by, and yes I have read Jude the Obscure. This mini-series is very evocative and just brilliant, like the book it is sad and it is emotionally devastating, as the book provides a pretty accurate depiction of what happened to servant girls who proved themselves unfaithful during the Victorian Era. The acting, period detail and writing are top-notch, and the mini-series sticks quite closely to the source material.《南方与北方》
North & South
2004
豆瓣评分:9.2
IMDb评分:8.7
剧透:自小成长于英国南部的玛格丽特,随着家人搬到了北方小镇,北方的纺织厂的厂主约翰桑顿对玛格丽特一见钟情。但不善表达的他似乎在无形中把玛格丽特越推越远。二人如同南方与北方,截然相反但又紧密相连。IMDb精选短评:I'm a history teacher so I'm very critical of adaptations, especially those that sentimentalize the past in any way. This is a superb rendering of the spirit of the industrial age and the many facets of class struggle within it.The BBC is well-known for their meticulous attention to detail with locations and costumes. This is the best historic fiction on screen I've ever seen.
《远大前程》
Great Expectations
2011
豆瓣评分:7.7
IMDb评分:7.6
剧透:主人公皮普从小父母双亡,安于过着下等人的生活。偶然的机会受雇于有钱人家,遇见了年轻高傲的艾斯黛拉,皮普爱上了她,思想也发生了转变,开始为了成为上等人而努力。当他终于进入上流社会,却命运弄人,一系列的转折让皮普的“远大前程”瞬间幻灭,最终,皮普回归到现实。
IMDb精选短评:Fine work of all of the cast relating a story that has been told so many times, that you cannot expect to feel it fresh and deeply touching, but they do. The journey of young Pip from simple kindhearted boy to knowing, kindhearted man is so capturing that, although knowing the story, I couldn't stop asking myself "what will happen at the end". I love Dickens and his way of unfolding his characters, so I was very pleased to see the series keeping close to his book, but in a fresh way suited for the understanding of 21st century audience. I very much recommend!
