Fin forgets her and grows up he helps Joe (sister’s boyfriend) with fishing. He is surprised to be offered a huge amount of money from a mysterious benefactor to go to New York to be an artist.

The film adapts Dickens novel in different ways. Including Joe as a fisherman Finns sister dies in the novel and leaves them in the modern version. The biggest difference is pip as a self taught artist, however in the novel trying to be a gentleman.
There are many enjoyable sections like when the convict attacks Finn. This is a section which you remember because this starts off Finns adventure. Although this connects with everything in the story and links it together it is vital. In addition, Estella kisses Finn at the fountain these moments are remembered because of the excellent acting, great camera shots and the strong emotions shown by the actors.
There are a number of good sections in the play, like when Finn confronted by the convict. When pip first enters New York, a man on a pay phone startles him: asking for change. Finn replies no and is verbally attacked by the man, the man shouts F**k y*u .This gives Finn and the audience an idea of the hostile temperament, in comparison too Finns small fishing village in Florida.
The impression we got from Miss Dinsmore: is an old, eccentric woman we can see this by her active personality. She dances a lot through the film also changes her hair to red. Estella is seen too be cold and distant, elegant and refined. Also a snob although has feelings for Finn but wants to hurt him, hurts Finn a lot of times in the play taunting him eventually Finn asks why?: ‘what is it like to feel nothing?’.
Lustig is portrayed as scary like character we know from the first time he startles Finn. Then there’s Fin who we see grow from a quite, young boy into a confident, intelligent man. Also a self taught artist, who lives his dream to become an artist and mix with people wealthier than himself. Finn an artist comes from rag to riches in quick time to inspire that similar can do the same.
