very good collection August 4, 2007 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I particularly liked the "Pickwick Papers" which I had never seen on film before. It was charming.
More pure enjoyment ! January 17, 2007 13 out of 13 found this review helpful
With the second volume of immortal works of Charles Dickens, brought to the screen by BBC, the pleasure of watching the first volume gets an extention. I am a big fan of the classics English literature and especially Dickens. He is simply the genius. In my humble opinion no other English writer can be even compared with him. Any one of his books is worth reading. And to watch this BBC dramatization is a great pleasure too - it is true Dickens - bright and sparkling on the screen as he does in every one of his books. If you are the newcomer to the world of his books - watch the movies and be encouraged to go for reading then. You will never regret.
Excellence in Old England January 10, 2007 10 out of 10 found this review helpful
A joyful depiction of one of Charles Dickens writings, the details of the English shops, homes and era dress were fascinating and so believable that it made watching the movie feel as though I was right there. This is on my "to watch often" list.
Captures Dickens' time & place October 26, 2006 18 out of 18 found this review helpful
Part of Dickens' genius was the ability to enable the reader to FEEL the time and place of the storyline unfolding, as well as the visualize the gamut of intriguing characters. The BBC has, again, done the same for the viewer. Selection of locations, environments and characters is simply wonderful -- sure to keep the viewer engrossed, even though the dialogue is uncompromisingly British. The only caveat is that the viewer must remember that these are ADAPTATIONS of Dickens' novels -- and, therefore, there are omissions and modifications to the originals. The modifications make it very easy for teachers to determine whether or not a student has actually read the novel or just enjoyed the DVD!
