Wissenswertes
Ethan Hawke later admitted he was not fond of the story due to its main theme of classism but was intrigued by Alfonso Cuarón's artistic modernization of it and was eager to work with him and Robert De Niro. He also notes that despite good reviews, it did not do well in the box office due to it being released during James Cameron's Titanic (1997) mania, but did rather well in the home rental market, VHS (and DVD) sales, and movie channel views. To this day, people still approach Hawke and tell him this is one of their favorite romantic movies.

Patzer
During the beginning sequence where the young Finn is splashing through the shallow water, drawing in his notebook, you can see indentations in the page indicating where the creatures eye is to be drawn

Zitate
Ms. Nora Digger Dinsmoor: She'll only break your heart, it's a fact. And even though I warn you, even though I guarantee you that the girl will only hurt you terribly, you'll still pursue her. Ain't love grand?

Crazy Credits
The credits are accompanied by images of all the artwork drawn by Finnegan Bell (Ethan Hawke). They run the entire duration of credits.

Just what I expected.

I went into Great Expectations with high hopes. The story has always been one of my favorites and I couldn't wait too see what they had done with it. The film is beautiful. It is very rich in color and scope. The cinematography was outstanding and the direction was solid. The acting was brillant all around. Robert De Niro is in the movie only briefly, but brings respect to a role that could be just a flash in the pan for anyone else. Ethan Hawke and Gwyneth Paltrow are great and Chris Cooper turns in a very subtle but powerful performance as Finn's guardian. The film left me feeling good, what more could you ask for in a movie?
