    • Trivia
      Based of the award winning book Mister Pip by Lloyd Jones
    • Quotes

      Christopher: Can anyone be a gentleman?

      Mr. Watts: Yes, they can.

      Violet: Even a poor person?

      Mr. Watts: Absolutely a poor person can be a gentleman. A gentleman... a gentleman is someone who never forgets their manners, no matter what the situation is, no matter how terrible, how awful. Money and social standing have got nothing to do with it. A gentleman always tries to do the right thing.

    Beautiful
    In few words: food for thought! Shocked me in good and bad kinds too. As I watched I cried and laughed at the same time.

    A beautiful and sad story about both sides of humanity. Good persons with kindness and faith and fantasy, and bad ones with ignorance and malice and guns. Love versus hate. Like many countries in the World. But we need to believe in love. This movie what must see... must see with your loved ones and family and friends! Hugh Laurie was fantastic as always, and Xzannjah impressed me with her natural talent. and I think I want to read the book by Dickens' Great Expectations.

    Thank you very much for the creators of this movie miracle!
