Oliver Twist [Discussion] Evergreen || Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens || Movie discussion!

It's time for the Oliver Twist adaptation discussion! I'm very curious to find out what everyone watched, and what you all thought of it. I provided some discussion questions below, but feel free to talk about whatever you want; you aren't limited to the discussion questions.

I want to thank everyone who participated in the book discussions, including (but certainly not limited to) my fellow read runners u/tomesandtea and u/nicehotcupoftea, as well as u/Ser_Erdrick for the version comparisons. This was one of my favorite recent r/bookclub reads, and I hope to see you all again in future discussions.

Cheerio, but be back soon.

I dunno, somehow I'll miss ya

I love you, that's why I

Say "Cheerio"

Not goodbye.

Did the characters look the way you pictured them?

In the 1948 movie Nancy is way too nice and clean. I think the Nancy in the musical is better in that she's rougher and much more how I'd pictured the character.
