Actually, the book mentioned that she looked more like her father, Edgar, in nearly every way except her nose and eyes. It was Hareton that bore a closer resemblance to Catherine, something that Heathcliff mentioned a few times, particularly toward the end of the book.
I love the part where Catherine says "Mr. Heathcliff, you're a cruel man, but you're not a fiend..." and you gradually see more and more of Heathcliff's raw hidden pain surfacing. The truth is that his vengefulness for essentially being friendzoned is WAY over the top and completely uncalled for, and that he really ought to be condemned, but this scene really works so well at reminding us of the unbearable love and pain he feels.
In the book Nelly is telling the story and was with Catherine's daughter when she was locked in the heights. Nelly had a huge role in the book but not in this movie I wish they had included that
Ralph Fiennes is an amazing actor. He was able to get in touch with Heathcliff’s character to the point that his whole countenance changed. His facial expressions and eyes resemble those of a typical narcissist. Pure genius!
Yeah I agree in the book she explains that she wanted to have money n new home so she could help Heathcliff not to be under hindleys cruelty and she could improve his status but she should have married him
Marlean = because Hindley had triggered out THE devil in Heathcliff who was able to bear Hindley 's cruelty only with the love from and for Cathy . As he was a tormented soul ,He could not invent another way of existing and living.Everything was in the sake of this love.He could have lived and loved his son.But Isabelle 's Linton was the son of Isabelle.Heathcliff hated Isabelle because She belonged to "the well to do, "Hindley s society.
Okay, but even in the beginning, his “love” for Catherine Earnshaw was obsessive. He was writing down the days she had spent with him versus Linton on a slate when they were kids. They may or may not have been half siblings because we don’t know where Heathcliff came from. He could have just been a random orphan on the street, but he also may have been a child born out of wedlock from an affair that Mr. Earnshaw had with some random who just left him with a child. We don’t know for sure. But honestly, even if Heathcliff and Cathy Sr. weren’t blood related, would it really feel healthy and comfortable marrying someone who had basically been raised with you in the same house as a sibling? I don’t think it would. Most people wouldn’t. Heathcliff’s “love” for Catherine Sr. was already showing signs of being unhealthily codependent and obsessive when they were children. Even though Catherine Earnshaw chose to marry Edgar Linton instead of him, and even though Hindley abused him when he was a child and treated him as a servant, they still didn’t give Heathcliff the right to spread abuse, hatred, and misery across roughly two generations of two families for vengeance, including an innocent woman, and innocent children from those two families.
I HATE Hindley and all his evil and heart stone and merciless toward Poor Heath Cliff and Cathy and their love story.He was the main cause of Cathy's marriage with Edgar because she was hopeless to get marry with Heath Cliff😢😢😢😢😢
Because he is an abusive psychopath who’s “love” for Catherine Earnshaw took on an obsessive, cruel, bitter, selfish, twisted, violent, and vengeful nature.
love love love this movie heathcliff is also cruel but he is reflecting his pain he has inside around him because of cathys passing he holds the love he has for her deep within him and is finally freed at the end when hes finally with her its so romantic
Can't hate Heathcliff .. such a cruel behaviour comes from a very wounded, heartbroken soul. I am not saying he has the right to do what he is doing but i just can feel his heart aching. This story proves that revenge does nothing good to the revenger except ruining his life and innocent people with him
You are right. And this is very true, I dare anyone to look into their ancestry, they will often find out that some of their ancestors were cousins who were married (with each other).
One thing that stuck me about this particular movie is the fact that it was quite close to the descriptions in the book..however the great love between Kathy and Heathcliff was better portrayed by the film...and at this point I have to admit that in book I found Heathcliff more vengeful and relentless than bitter about life
I've never been able to feel sorry for Heathcliff. He is so cruel. Yes, he had a tough childhood but that doesn't give him the right to abuse everyone around him. Like you said, he's a psychopath.
If I distance myself emotionally from the novel, I'd see the same way too. His anger, resentment, need for revenge. And for what, it didn't bring him any 'peace' or satisfaction he can prevail on. He was miserable up until the last breath. For me, all the characters are tragic, the only two remaining ones that give some hope are Hareton and Cathy...that's why the ending is somewhat bittersweet/hopeful.
@@daenerysstormborn5271weird take. the cycle of abuse will always continue if you don’t break it. it’s never acceptable, no matter how rough your childhood was and heathcliff LIVED for vengeance and was fueled by hatred. he’s not redeemable at all even with all his brooding
I think its a story that shows what happens when u treat a person like they're nothing more than dirt beneath your feet. In the result of being denied the love the character always has longed for the beast as were imerges and seeks revenge on those who never spared him an act of kindness nor respect.
The book suggests that some of the content of Linton's letters were not his own work. Bronte doesn't clarify if that means he borrowed the sentiments from a book, or was dictated to by Heathcliff.
He didn't ''crack'' while she was begging him in the book - he was cold and vicious till the end. lot of mistakes in this adaptation. plus, fines is a bit passionless and his mouth while he speaks makes me laugh!
Thanks Emc209i, now that interpretation helps me to believe that his actions were less macabre but ardent. I watched the 2009 BBC version everyone seems to be raving about here and the director included this scene. It's nothing like what you or Darkambereyes interpreted the scene to be. I don't think it was Emily's interpretation either. You should check it out if you hadn't. It's sooo weird and off base and yet it has Heathcliff written all over it.
Just a bit of interesting related trivia - Steven Spielberg saw Ralph's work here in "Wuthering Heights" and it's what convinced him to hire Ralph to play Amon Goeth. I'm sure you see why! And the rest, as they say, is history. 😊
i dont know why heathcliff doesnt like cathy so much...i thought it was more likely that he would like her because she should remind him of his first love catherine
@whiteoleander555 It depends on whether you go for atmosphere or accuracy. This version is pretty close to the book but isn't as good, in my opinion, at capturing the emotion and such as the 1939 Olivier/Oberon version, even though that one cut out nearly half the book. Those are the only two versions I've seen, though. I'll have to see the '98 version soon and see how it compares. :)
Can someone explain what Heathcliff wanted to do with Edgar's coffin in the book? I could not follow his intentions when I read it. Did Healthcliff want to switch Edgar's coffin with his coffin so that he can be next to Catherine? Thx
@aressho Catherine (mother) made herself sick out of spite, Edgar Linton is just old, and he caught a bad cold that simply won't go away. Linton has been sick since he was a baby, add the attitude from Heathcliff and the result is his sickly and annoying personality
the actress is too old for a 18-year old girl. I remember another version of this movies in which the same actress acted for both roles is much better. I am searching for that version (i forget the year of production), but i could not. Anyone knows???
Linton had he been in 2023 would be gay ..He had 0 interest in Catherine in any way shape or form and yet inherited his father’s narcissistic ways. At least Heathcliff could be emotion and romantic at heart when it suited. Linton is lost in a time that didn’t recognize his kind he just looks weak, sickly and not in any way interested in girls .. he neither stands up for the injustice of her treatment or protests against marring her in a time that anything other than being straight & married with kids was acceptable so he went along with Heathcliffs plans & cared 0 for Cathy.
@skittlebrain92 Your talking my talk; Ralph definately is really sexy when he plays evil roles, he should have used his Voldemort voice, because that voice is really really sexy (sighs).
The book was far better than the movie. But despite Heathcliff being the villian i had some part of sympathy for him. He was treated so badly that it resulted in Heathcliff's anger.
even though Heathcliff was a monster Catherine (the first one) is at fault for almost everything bad that happens in the book...that's why I don't like her or Linton (not edgar)...he was a duche
I don't really like the role of Cathy Two here. She was a bit wilder and lot less ladylike in the book. And she also made fun of Hareton at the beginning.
Actually, the book mentioned that she looked more like her father, Edgar, in nearly every way except her nose and eyes. It was Hareton that bore a closer resemblance to Catherine, something that Heathcliff mentioned a few times, particularly toward the end of the book.
Ralph Fiennes is absolutely wicked and sexy in this part. No one else can play.... except, of course, Laurence Olivier.
I love the part where Catherine says "Mr. Heathcliff, you're a cruel man, but you're not a fiend..." and you gradually see more and more of Heathcliff's raw hidden pain surfacing. The truth is that his vengefulness for essentially being friendzoned is WAY over the top and completely uncalled for, and that he really ought to be condemned, but this scene really works so well at reminding us of the unbearable love and pain he feels.

I absolutely loooove the white dress Catherine wears when she's fighting Heathcliff to get the key...it's so beautiful..^_^
Cathy did a mistake for not marrying heath cliff.. they would have been happy, even in any conditions..but what she wanted was money and luxury..
Yeah I agree in the book she explains that she wanted to have money n new home so she could help Heathcliff not to be under hindleys cruelty and she could improve his status but she should have married him
I doubt she would have been happy with an abuser.
Marlean = because Hindley had triggered out THE devil in Heathcliff who was able to bear Hindley 's cruelty only with the love from and for Cathy .

I HATE Hindley and all his evil and heart stone and merciless toward Poor Heath Cliff and Cathy and their love story.He was the main cause of Cathy's marriage with Edgar because she was hopeless to get marry with Heath Cliff😢😢😢😢😢
Excellent adaptation from the book
If Heathclife loved Catherine so much, why does he treat Catherine's daughter so badly?
I thought the same thing
Because he was unable to get past his bitterness. He doesn't see her as Cathy's daughter, but as Edgar's. Also, dude is messed up in the head.
That's where you see the difference between good, kind and selflessove from destructive, poisonous and selfish obsession
Because Heathcliffe's hate and seeking of vengence is much stronger than his love for Catherine.
Because he is an abusive psychopath who’s “love” for Catherine Earnshaw took on an obsessive, cruel, bitter, selfish, twisted, violent, and vengeful nature.
love love love this movie heathcliff is also cruel but he is reflecting his pain he has inside around him because of cathys passing he holds the love he has for her deep within him and is finally freed at the end when hes finally with her its so romantic

Heathcliff was a real psychopath. We're tempted to feel sorry for him because of his rough background and what it did to him, but the man was nuts.
I've never been able to feel sorry for Heathcliff. He is so cruel. Yes, he had a tough childhood but that doesn't give him the right to abuse everyone around him. Like you said, he's a psychopath.
Yeah, it's very easy to say this when you're not the victim of the abuse ...🤦♀️
If I distance myself emotionally from the novel, I'd see the same way too. His anger, resentment, need for revenge. And for what, it didn't bring him any 'peace' or satisfaction he can prevail on. He was miserable up until the last breath.

Agreed, he horrifies me
Thanks for explaining that. I knew it was something vile but couldn't quite understand what he was trying to do. He was some work.
heathcliff is soo bad and evil... but i love him HAHAHA >D
They all need therapy...
its creepy that in this scene he sounds totally like voldemort!
Great classic made into an anemic movie.
she should have listened to her father
I think its a story that shows what happens when u treat a person like they're nothing more than dirt beneath your feet. In the result of being denied the love the character always has longed for the beast as were imerges and seeks revenge on those who never spared him an act of kindness nor respect.
why didnt Cathy escape through window i mean you really dont have to use the door all the time
scene 6:36... so funny to see the faces of hareton, cathy, linton and yes ofcourse heathcliff..the way he looks at the priest ... lol
Ralph’s eyes are so penetrating he has just incredible look.
The book suggests that some of the content of Linton's letters were not his own work. Bronte doesn't clarify if that means he borrowed the sentiments from a book, or was dictated to by Heathcliff.
I like very much Wuthering Heights ..:)
her accent is beautiful...
He didn't ''crack'' while she was begging him in the book - he was cold and vicious till the end. lot of mistakes in this adaptation. plus, fines is a bit passionless and his mouth while he speaks makes me laugh!
Essa loira e a mesma morena, não entendi. Pena que não tem completo.
"I'm going to go now" -Edgar closes eyes
"Father, No!" -CAtherine cries
"HA-HA! Gotcha! Nah I'm still alive"
I cant believe how horrible Heathcliff treated Catherine...
I can't believe how badly Cathy treated him.
Thanks Emc209i, now that interpretation helps me to believe that his actions were less macabre but ardent.

@iLOVEthe80TWILIGHT13 The opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference. There's not much indifference here..
no wonder ralph can be casted as amon goeth! hahaaha!
Just a bit of interesting related trivia - Steven Spielberg saw Ralph's work here in "Wuthering Heights" and it's what convinced him to hire Ralph to play Amon Goeth. I'm sure you see why! And the rest, as they say, is history. 😊
i dont know why heathcliff doesnt like cathy so much...i thought it was more likely that he would like her because she should remind him of his first love catherine
fralaukri95 She’s related to Edgar Linton who Catherine married instead of him, and he’s a bitter and abusive psychopath who’s obsessed with her.
What is Heathcliff digging?
I felt bad for Heathcliff in the beginning, but now... Hes CRUEL!
And why is he cruel?
one question, young cathy and linton wrote letters to each other - i thought they were written on their own accord, not linton's through heathcliff.
las mejores 1992,1998, 2009
does anyone else think that the young cathy, look a bit like julia roberts ,with the red hair and everything??? maybe is just me..
"I detest you" whoooaa chill out!
She got to him...but he wouldn't let her see that; Heathcliff bottled up his pain to deal with it. It is why it drove him mad.
i just like isabella and linton...:))

1992! ... Esta é a melhor versão do romance! ...
Should have got someone else to play the Linton’s daughter
There's one thing I don't get, why does Heathcliff want Cathy to marry Linton when he detests her so much? Is it because she resembles Catherine?
for her fortune
Can someone explain what Heathcliff wanted to do with Edgar's coffin in the book? I could not follow his intentions when I read it. Did Healthcliff want to switch Edgar's coffin with his coffin so that he can be next to Catherine? Thx
Yes
i dont get why everyone is sick???
@aressho Catherine (mother) made herself sick out of spite, Edgar Linton is just old, and he caught a bad cold that simply won't go away. Linton has been sick since he was a baby, add the attitude from Heathcliff and the result is his sickly and annoying personality
who is the actress that does cathy2 ???
@iLOVEthe80TWILIGHT13 you're right it is more of a hate story!
you have to say- thy where the worlds greatest actors at the time ( and i was only 1 at the time lol ) sad dark story but cant turn my eyes away.
Hate is akin to Love
the actress is too old for a 18-year old girl. I remember another version of this movies in which the same actress acted for both roles is much better.
I am searching for that version (i forget the year of production), but i could not. Anyone knows???
@iLOVEthe80TWILIGHT13 spot on. it's a story of obsession hate and revenge.
for god sake use something to break the glass!!!!!!!!!1
Linton had he been in 2023 would be gay ..He had 0 interest in Catherine in any way shape or form and yet inherited his father’s narcissistic ways. At least Heathcliff could be emotion and romantic at heart when it suited.

The book was far better than the movie. But despite Heathcliff being the villian i had some part of sympathy for him. He was treated so badly that it resulted in Heathcliff's anger.
I like heathclife, altough nobody will understand.. he's embittered and evil and all he can think off is revenge... but I like him though.
He's not evil, just a product of his life.
Foi O filme mas Lindo que eu a sisti
oh wow i thought this was a love story. its more of a hate story
I like the 1970 version with Timothy Dalton.
+FBI Alvarado Me too. For me it is the best adaptation. And it is for me the best soundtrack
Abcd123
Auch ich mag die 1970 Version am liebsten. Thimoty Dalton hat seine Rolle begriffen.
wow heathcliff is nasty!
@iLOVEthe80TWILIGHT13 Love stories ARE hate stories. You cannot have one without the other.
even though Heathcliff was a monster Catherine (the first one) is at fault for almost everything bad that happens in the book...that's why I don't like her or Linton (not edgar)...he was a duche
@skittlebrain92 Yeah when he's got a nose, the whole snake-like slits is a bit of a turn off XD
İşte bu hikayenin öncülü zaten Şatoda yaşandı.
i know darling i know ............ :-*
He said "I am your father"
I loled. ;)
lthis is a classic I was only a small child when I first seen this film I loved it for years read the book three times the best love story ever x
Entendo completamente ele
@cahayes Best comment I've seen on this film so far.
yes i think so
@darkambereyes It's the same for me!!! It's absolutely perfect!!! I dream of Heathcliff every night!!! =))
Edgar's dieing was kind of a farce...
"I'm going to her now..." X X
Had to laugh. The scene in the book was better.
i don't like this version at all....it's boring compared to the other versions...there's no feeling no passion put in it
I don't really like the role of Cathy Two here. She was a bit wilder and lot less ladylike in the book. And she also made fun of Hareton at the beginning.
did she kiss her dad?
wheres nelly!
@Artemiss1 Great minds think a like! ;-)
He is cruel😡
@iLOVEthe80TWILIGHT13 no it isnt.
move or i'll kick ya! cruel much?
2:20-242: THANK you, i hate the 2nd generation
