This week's film is based on one of Dickens's novels. In this work, Dickens tells the story of how a young English gentleman who lost his father and took his mother and sister to try to make a living. In this story of seeing the big in the small, you will see a glamorous side of 19th-century Britain. This is Nicholas Nickbe.

When it comes to Charles Dickens's representative novel, the first thing that many people think of is Orphans of the Mist. The book boldly exposes the darkness of Victorian society in Britain and has become an indispensable landmark in the history of world literature in the 19th century. Compared with the wide popularity of the former, "Nicholas Nickbe" is more like a lost pearl. In this novel, Dickens continued the tone of critical reality while adding elements of humor and humor. Charles Dickens was able to write these world-famous works because he tasted the hardships of life in his childhood. Dickens was born in 1812 to an ordinary naval family in Portsmouth, southern England. Because his father had to move frequently for work reasons, the young Dickens lived a life of uncertainty with his family. When he was 12 years old, his father went to jail for debt, and his life became even more embarrassing. Dickens, who couldn't afford to go to school, was sent to a london shoe store as an apprentice, working 10 hours a day. After that, he also did cleaning glass bottles and labeling. In his spare time, Dickens read his father's only collection of books—the works of Cervantes, Lesaris, and Fielding. Reading became his spiritual food and laid the foundation for his future writing.

It is precisely because of the experience of a hungry and suffering life as a child that Dickens spent his life focusing on the small people living at the bottom of society. Oliver of Orphans of the Mist and Cripple Mike of Nicholas Nickbe are representatives of this type of character. Seeking inspiration, Dickens often went in and out of almshouses, prisons, dirty midnight streets, and places where the poor lived. He has always experienced and perceived those marginalized people who have been forgotten by the world.

Nicholas Nickbe is not famous, but because of its flaws and humor, it has always been a hit for stage adaptations. Not only did it appear on Broadway in 1981, but it was also one of the most successful plays at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. In addition, it has also been adapted into film and television works many times. The male protagonist of this film, Nicholas NickBey, is played by Charlie Hannham. As a native of England, in terms of British temperament, he plays a gentleman with affection and righteousness who does not lose to others at all. The cripple Who plays the same marginal person in the film is Jamie Bell. At the age of 14, he entered the film industry at the beginning of his career and won the 54th British Academy Film Award for Best Actor for his outstanding performance in the movie "Beyond My World". In the film, he is a young boy who lives at the bottom of society but is eager to step onto the big stage of ballet. He was not afraid of rumors, insisted on his dreams, and finally danced his wonderful life. This successful performance made Jamie Bell seem at ease in Nicholas Nick Bay. In addition to the two protagonists, the movie "Nicholas Nickbey" also gathers many excellent British actors, who use their unique personal charm to show the life of the British people.
