Charles Dickens sense of compassion and honor makes him my favorite author. He cared when others did not.

Great Expectations - the 1946 movie - Directed by David Lean is a masterpiece - the cast - the music - the screenplay and the masterful direction of David Lean - you can feel Charles Dickens and the time is brought to life - glad I found it on DVD .

As a Writer Magnificent. As a husband absolutely appalling. He died much too young. Favorite Novel Great Expectations

You were married to him? No , then why call him what you read, not fact!

@@DSmith-e5eExcuse me? How can you possibly think that forcing your wife to leave her home and children because you've decided you don't want her anymore is in any way excusable? There is nothing that anyone could have done to justify such action in any time. I have never been able to read his writings in the same way since I first knew this.

I have always loved watching and listening to documentaries about my heroes since I was a cheery catholic school boy. I idolise Dickens, and I was named after him, and I still keep lots of valuable vintage copies of his works to this day.

So many wonderful Novels by this Precious Writer.

@lw3646 Год назад

For me David Copperfield is his best story following him through the troubled childhood to a young adult, the personal growth along the way, the way childhood characters return later as adults and the happy ending with Agnes are so satisfying. The Pickpapers, The Old Curosity Shop and Nicholas Nickleby have some of his funniest livelist and most imaginative characters and plots. Hard Times, Dombey and Son, Great Expectations and Our Mutual Friend have a bleaker tone and more ambiguous characters but also some bitting satire and more troubled love stories. A Christmas Carol is for me the most enjoyable read, short and punchy, it really drives its message home.

Thank you very much from my Mom and myself for uploading this wonderful documentary. I was interested in knowing about the man himself. I am so appreciative of his gifts to the world. and grateful to you too🥰

Our pleasure! So glad you enjoyed it, Joy! Although he may end up being mostly remembered for The Christmas Carol, there's so much else he accomplished. Thanks for watching.

*"The Man Who Invented Christmas"* got me interested in reading, watching or listening to Dickens' stories. Learning that his life 'issues' (especially with his parents) influenced his writing of A Christmas Carol, and to some degree, Oliver Twist, has me curious about other stories and characters. Thanks for sharing the mini-documentary of a writer for those who love telling true to life stories.

@gary9401 10 месяцев назад

I agree with G.B.S. that it is hard to distinguish which of Dickens' works is his greatest- because the are all great. But, my personal favorite will always be the Pickwick Papers.

@charliedrosario999 Месяц назад

What a lovely documentary, and I watch it these days while writing my own novel by hand, just like he did with ink. I was named after Dickens you know. And I am writing a novel all about a whole cast of characters most of whom have names just like the Dickens characters. I got my inspiration for some of them from the DVD's of his I have in my Novel--Inspiration--Archive in my study. I love his writing and I love reading just like he did all those decades ago when the world was in a way a lot safer and we had a proper police service.

I just watched a Walk documentary on BBC and it was based on him and his life. With an interest in writing myself and Having won The Literature price near my final year in secondary school based on some of his works, I was interested in any movie about him. Read quite a bit on Wikipedia about him, his loves, and his 10 children. (4/6/2023.) .

Staplehurst Rail Crash June 9th 1865.

@hugobodiam4065 7 месяцев назад

Staple, pronounced that way and not "Stapple", is situated on one of the straightest stretches of track in the UK; the picture rather misleading. A tragedy where a work team had actually removed a length of rail. I agree about the music being mostly inappropriate but otherwise thanks, most enjoyable.

A terrible pedestrian commentary..he simply avoids any intelligent analysis of Bleak House which is Dickens most complex and profound novel..it's all gungho! for Great Expectations as is rightly expected but his comments are really rather glib.
