Oliver Twist - 1948 - David Lean




At some point, Oliver is trying to run away from a bunch of people that are chasing him over a matter of a handkerchief he hadn't actually stolen -- mostly the common folk that just happened to be passing by and wouldn't have any reason not to engage in such a thrilling exercise of citizenship. Oliver, who was supposed only to watch and learn the new trade, was way behind the two boys who had taken the handkerchief from a gentleman's pocket. Going as fast as he could just to catch up with his two fellows, Oliver was successfully avoiding collision with many of the obstacles that were coming his way. A grown man, for instance, nearly grabbed him as he was running through. One would say, however, that he was unstoppable. He kept running, his enemies being left almost in a comfortable distance, when a huge wall, erected out of nowhere in the shape of a man, put a sudden end to what otherwise would have to be considered a perfect flee. May I add that by that time even Oliver's two fellows, who had had the opportunity to hide behind a dark place and join the raging crowd after it had passed on the hunt of Oliver, now were shouting words against him and throwing stuff at his direction. He didn't stop. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be much longer now until Oliver's cute and little face met what has got be the most striking punch that has ever been punched in the history of cinema. A true giant, that man was. Much to the his boast, Oliver was immediately knocked out. Somebody had to take him to the court, where he would face the consequences of his acts.
