Great Expectations is a 1946 film directed by David Lean.It is, of course, an adaptation of Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. It is the story of a boy named Phillip Pirrip, called "Pip". Pip grows up as a child in the care of his gentle stepbrother Joe Gargery, a blacksmith, and his much, much less gentle older sister, known only as "Mrs. Joe." One day when Pip, still a small boy, is visiting the grave of his parents, he is accosted by an escaped prisoner, Abel Magwitch. Pip does as he's told and fetches Magwitch some food and a file to hack off his chains, but Magwitch is eventually caught and sent back to prison.Pip is eventually called to the mansion of Miss Havisham, a crazy old lady who has lived in one room for decades, since she was left at the altar by the man she loved. Pip for his part falls in love with Miss Havisham's adopted daughter, the beautiful but cold and heartless Estella. Pip has no hope for marriage with Estella, since she is a rich lady and he is a humble blacksmith's apprentice. But when a Mysterious Benefactor bestows on Pip some "great expectations"—namely, a large sum of money—Pip's life is turned upside down.Film debut of Alec Guinness (Pip's friend Herbert) and 17-year-old Jean Simmons (young Estella). 38-year-old John Mills stars as 21-year-old Pip. | |

Adaptation Distillation | |
| Great Expectations (1946) / int_5a40d6a | comment |
Adaptation Distillation: Eliminates much of the Narrative Filigree that is characteristic of all of Dickens' work. The character of Orlick is eliminated completely, which requires that Pip's sister die of natural causes. The character of Mr. Wopsle is Demoted to Extra, which means that the movie does not include Pip and Herbert going to Mr. Wopsle's terrible production of Hamlet. | |

Light Equals Hope | |
| Great Expectations (1946) / int_aceca6cc | comment |
Light Equals Hope: A change to the novel's ending. In the book, Pip meets Estella at twilight at the site of Satis House, which has been torn down—there's nothing there but the gate, and Estella tells Pip she will build a new house on the grounds. In the film, Satis House is still standing. Pip goes inside and meets Estella, recently dumped by Drummle. She's sitting in Miss Havisham's old chair, deep in depression, seemingly resigned to growing old alone. Pip refuses to accept this, tearing down all the curtains and the boards over the windows, letting light into the house for the first time in decades. Pip and Estella go running off together arm in arm. | |
