Orphan Pip discovers through lawyer Mr. Jaggers that a mysterious benefactor wishes to ensure that he becomes a gentleman. Reunited with his childhood patron, Miss Havisham, and his first love, the beautiful but emotionally cold Estella, he discovers that the elderly spinster has gone mad from having been left at the altar as a young woman, and has made her charge into a warped, unfeeling heartbreaker.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie 'Great Expectations' is a classic Dickens adaptation focused on social ambition, unrequited love, and gothic romance. While it had a holiday release and the plot involves 'wishes' (which can be loosely associated with Christmas), there is no substantial evidence that the setting, plot centrality, iconography, or resolution are connected to the Christmas season."
