Nicholas Nickleby

The movie seemed a little rushed. I've never read the book, or and Dickens for that matter. I know that it's impossible to accurately depict a book on screen, and many movies that try to hard become cumbersome. Even so there were plenty of important seeming points that were skimmed over. When Nicholas proposes marriage to his love he explains that his father explained true love when he was young, and he'd made it his life goal to find the perfect girl, and he was so relieved that he'd finally found her. Although only a few scenes toward the end even touch on his quest for romance. Overall I thought the story was good, but it might have been better as a PBS series than a Hollywood movie.
