OLIVER
TWIST - THE MOVIE
The
movie we’ve seen is about a young boy called Oliver Twist, who
doesn’t have any parents. Oliver lives in the tough 1800s United
Kingdom. He was born in a small town called Portsea in southern
England. His
mother died at Oliver's
birth, and no one knows anything about his father. He got his name
“Oliver Twist” when he enters the city's
almshouse.
When
all the boys who at the almshouse raffle about who’s going to ask
the leaders about more food, Oliver takes the shortest cord. Next day
when everyone have eaten they’re food, Oliver walks to the leaders
and asks for more food. Oliver immediately gets into jail.
Some
people decides to make Oliver to a disciple and send him to man who
works as a funeral director, and he starts to work and help him.
Oliver like the people, except another disciple. The boys gets mad at
each other, and the other disciple is calling Oliver’s mum mean
things. Oliver gets really mad at the boy. He attacks him and beat
him in his face.
Oliver
decides to run away. He packs all his stuff and starts to London
during the night. It’s a very long way to go, but he’ve decided
to go all this way.
After
some days, when he’s in London, he’s totally exhausted. A boy
called ‘Dodger’ (his real name is Jack) who’s just a few years
older than himself is a pickpocket, sees Oliver sitting on a step he
ask Oliver if he want a place to sleep at over the night. Oliver says
yes, and from that moment his life in London won’t be the same.
Dodger promises Oliver that he’ll get a new home at Mr. Fagin’s
place. At first, Oliver likes to live with Fagin and the other boys
are good. Oliver even starts to learn how to be a pickpocket.
When
Oliver one day innocently accuses for pilfering a man called Mr.
Brownlow helps him free. Mr. Brownlow take Oliver with him home
to his big and nice house, and he lets Oliver live there. Oliver
feels better than ever and he’s very happy, but everything changes
when he gets kidnapped by Mr. Sikes, one of Fagins ‘friends’. Mr.
Sikes quickly decides that he wants Oliver to help him to make
burglary Mr. Brownlow’s house.
He
takes Oliver with him, Oliver knows the way to the house, and how it
looks inside. When Mr. Brownlow and his wife hears that someone’s
in their house, Mr. Sikes starts to shoot with his pistol. Mr.
Brownlow starts to shoot with his rifle, and in the middle of the
fight, Oliver gets hit. He get weak, and doesn’t feel very well.
Everyone
flee from the house and runs away. A girl called Nancy, who’s
friend with both Fagin and Sikes, wants to help Oliver, and takes
contact with Mr. Brownlow.
One
night they meet up on a bridge, and Nancy tells Mr. Brownlow about
everything that happened to Oliver, and that he feels good. Also, she
tells him that he have to tell the police about Fagin, and that he’ve
got Oliver.
Dodger
followed Nancy to the bridge, and he tells Mr. Sikes everything about
Nancy’s speech with Mr. Brownlow. Mr. Sikes walks straight home to
his place, and there he kills Nancy. Now when Mr. Sikes and Fagin
knows that the police search for them they flee.
The
people and police find Mr. Sikes they want to shoot him, and also
save Oliver. He take Oliver with him up to the roof. With the crowd
and the police down on the yard looking after them with there hearts
in their throats. They continue to climb and they’re coming to a
ledge where the police starts to shoot, and Mr. Brownlow force his
way to the front to tell them to stop. They can hit Oliver, and
that’s not what he wants to. Mr. Sikes take a rope and make a loop
of it. He takes it around his body and take Oliver in his hands and
swing over to the other side. He lefts Oliver on the other side, and
when he’s about to take the rope of his body, he sees his dog on
the other side. The dog starts to bark, and Mr. Sikes gets so shocked
that he falls with the rope around his neck. He hangs himself.
Now
Oliver lives a good life in Mr. Brownlows house, and he’ll do it a
long time in the future too.
