David koperfild tregimi1/20/2023 And Uriah Heep is a real villain, really slimy and snakelike. Antony Andrews is suitably nasty as Mr Murdstone and Eileen Atkins turns in a solid performance as Jane. Hugh Dancy especially was perfect as adult David, and while I found Daniel Radcliife absolutely adorable in the 1999 adaptation, Max Doleby was believable as the younger half of the character. The performances in general were very good, save one or two exceptions. The script is mostly good with a lot of Dickens elements in it,and there are many memorable scenes like the whipping of young David. The music is beautiful, and it was delight especially to hear Mendelssohn's Octet playing as background music in one scene. The adaptation looks amazing, with lavish costumes, lovely camera work in general(though the last ten minutes were unfocused) splendid scenery and realistic-looking sets. Now I admit I haven't read the book for a while, but I do remember that the 1999 adaptation was more faithful. This 2000 adaptation is inferior, but in my opinion it is good on its own merits. The 1999 adaptation was absolutely sublime, you cannot do better than Ian McKellan, Maggie Smith and Bob Hoskins all of whom did brilliantly in their roles.
