The main character is named "Pip" in Charles Dickens' novel. But it was felt that the name would sound strange in modern times. The character was named "Finn" after Ethan Hawke's dog.
The green color appears in many unexpected forms, ways and objects along the entire movie. In Latin traditions, the green color means hope, and the Spanish title assigned for this production was "Grandes Esperanzas". "Esperanza" is the Spanish translation for "hope".
Real-life painter Francesco Clemente created Finnegan Bell's (Ethan Hawke's) artwork for the movie.
In his book, "What Just Happened?", Producer Art Linson reveals that the narration in the movie was written by David Mamet. It was done for free, on the condition that nobody ever find out he did it.
Ethan Hawke later admitted he was not fond of the story due to its main theme of classism but was intrigued by Alfonso Cuaron's artistic modernization of it and was eager to work with him and Robert DeNiro. 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 mania, but did rather well in the home rental market, VHS (and DVD) sales, and movie channel views. To this day, people still approach Ethan and tell him this is one of their favorite romantic movies.
"Finn: I did it! I did it! I am a wild success! I sold 'em all, all my paintings. You don't have to be embarrassed by me anymore. I'm rich! Isn't that what you wanted? Aren't we happy now? Don't you understand that everything I do, I do it for you? Anything that might be special in me, is you."
"Finn: What's it like not to feel anything? Estella: Let's say there was a little girl, and from the time she could understand, she was taught to fear... let's say she was taught to fear daylight. She was taught that it was her enemy, that it would hurt her. And then one sunny day, you ask her to go outside and play and she won't. You can't be angry at her can you? Finn: I knew that little girl and I saw the light in her eyes, and no matter what you say or do, that's still what I see. Estella: We are who we are. People don't change."
