I was pleasantly and unpleasantly surprised in more ways than one while watching this 2012 movie.
I've heard of the novel 'Great Expectations' but have never read it, or even knew much about what it was all about until last week when I took a deep dive into the story, as it's one of the books I'm told I must read before I die, and the only Dickens novel I ever owned and read was 'A Christmas Carol', which I have since given away.
I guess there comes a time in our life when curiosity gets the better of us and we don't worry about our expectations about how boring a book or movie might be?-)
Poe was in the Grip of Dickens' Raven?
I still don't plan on reading an actual book version of GE, but I am listening to a free audio reading of the novel on Apple Podcasts, which is nearly as good as reading the book to my mind ... pardon the pun:-)

It was the same price to buy as to rent, so I bought the movie and added it to the few that I have bought over the years online, so far.
Ironically, I had just watched HBC as Frankenstein's potential bride in the 1994 movie she starred in, and I rented to watch on my TV in 2022.

Another thing I found personally synchromystic while watching GE was a food fight involving pineapples, of all things that you could throw at each other in a food fight:-)
