Hello everyone!

Friday, March 9^th (the ninth) 2018

Video: Oliver Twist, the movie.

This video is an extract from the movie “Oliver Twist” made/directed by Roman Polanski and adapted from the novel by Charles Dickens.

In this video, we can see a young orphan, Oliver Twist and many other boys. We can also see rich supervisors/gentlemen.

The scene takes place in an orphanage in England (18^th or 19^th century, we suppose ).

At the beginning, we can see gentlemen having dinner and eating a lot.

Then, we discover children (young boys and girls) working in a factory.

After that, we can see the dormitory, where all the orphans sleep at night.

A boy is walking because he's so hungry (= he is starving) that he could eat the person next to him.

-an orphan= un orphelin/une orpheline

-a dormitory= un dortoir

- (to) direct a film= réaliser un film / a director= un réalisateur

-a straw : une paille.
