    オリバーツイスト

    『オリバー・ツイスト』（原題: Oliver Twist）は、2005年の映画。チャールズ・ディケンズの同名の小説をロマン・ポランスキーが映画化した。概要は以下の通り。
    19世紀、孤児のオリバー・ツイストは孤児院から作業小屋に送られる。彼は葬儀屋の家に移り住むが、不当な叱責を受けた後、ロンドンに向けて7日間の家出を始める。疲れ果てて飢えた彼は、すぐに老ペテン師フェイギンが率いるスリ集団に迎えられる。泥棒と間違われたオリバーは、裕福な被害者のブラウンロー氏に家に連れてこられ、保護される。しかし、フェイギンと危険なビル・サイクスは、ブラウンロー氏の豪邸に強盗に入るため、オリバーを誘拐することを決める。
    今回主人公のオリバーツイストの面倒を見ていたフェイギン演じるベン・キングズレーの圧巻の演技に圧倒されました。かれは映画ガンジーでも本人の役をしていたのでかなりの実力者だとわかります。

    英語に関してはロンドンの最下層も最下層の泥棒たちがたくさん出てくるので、その人たちのアクセントは難関だといえると思います。コックニースラングは皆無でしたが...　　リスニングにおいては非常に疲れました。
