modernization of a Charles Dickens story.

Estella: "Let's say there was a little girl, and from the time she could understand, she was taught to fear. Let's say she was taught to fear daylight. She was taught that it was her enemy, that it would hurt her. And then one sunny day, you ask her to go outside and play and she won't. You can't be angry at her can you?"

i just love Cuarón's use of green in the movie (Great Expectations - 1998); his greenish way has the same power i see in black (usually green is life but also green is jealousy or envy and inexperience - green takes you back in time, denotes balance and harmony; that was one of my first teenage years favorite movies).
