Mr. Sowerberry was actually a good man who has compassion.

After the incident, Oliver decided to run away from Sowerberry’s house.

He was treated very well there. But unfortunately, when Oliver wanted to help Mr. Brownlow, return some books to book's courier, he was kidnapped again by some members of the gang of thieves who was afraid will be reported to the police by Oliver, because he knew all about them.
     Together with them, Oliver got worse treatment. But thankfully, there was a member of the gang who felt pity and defended Oliver, he was named Nancy. He met Mr. Brownlow and told him everything. He also encouraged Mr. Brownlow to immediately report Fagin and his gang to the police. Well, mission had done. But apparently her actions wafted by Fagin and her husband. Until Nancy eventually killed by her husband, Bill.
And at the end of the story, Oliver Twist safe and happy in the care of Mr. Brownlow and Mrs. Bedwin that was excellent. He's grown into a handsome boy and well educated.
    The film was very good, it contained many moral messages and didn't contain adult scenes that didn't eligible to deliver like other western films. However, when corrected more thoroughly, in this film there's also a drawback, the film showed many scenes of violence (physical) which had given to a boy aged 9 years.
    But at all, this movie had looked so good. We can take many moral messages after we watched this film. One of them is " we must have a strong commitment to the faith, that is means that we are required to fight to preserve the truth and fairness. We must be brave. God knows, God Almighty. So ... Don’t  be afraid to walk in the truth. Success and perfect happiness, that's result which will we get. Keep the spirit!”
