a movie that i think parallels the themes and overall plot in "Great Expectations" is the movie "pirate Radio". In this movie rock and roll isn't played in Brittan and isn't aloud to be played due to the controlling government. The government can be looked at like everybody in a higher position than Pip. through this entire book there is someone trying to control Pip and a lot of the time these people don't care what pip wants.

In order to play there beloved rock and roll a group of radio Djs live on a boat broadcasting constant rock and roll to brittan. There are parts in the movie where the crew are fighting amongst each other. this could be seen as Pip's conscious. Pip seems to always be going through some sort of emotional struggle.

The actions taken by the crew members are considered illegal and although pip hasn't done anything against the law many of his actions i believe will have nagative consiquences.
