    I love that moment at 0:42. It's subtle acting but adds something rather sweet, which is, as she's saying how "where you are is home" he gets really serious and stops his banter b/c this is the first ray of hope, a sliver of proof that Jane loves him as much as he loves her. It also touches him to know he's helped her. Brilliant adaptation. I've seen it probably a dozen times, and I never tire of it.

    The reason this Jane Eyre adaptation remains one of my top favorites is the great chemistry between Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens. They play well off each other, and I like how this version lets out Rochester's more playful side more freely as is alluded to in the book with his performance as the gypsy. I also like how this version lets out Jane's emotions a bit as she becomes more comfortable with where she is and the connections she is forming, not just with Rochester, but also with others like Adele and Mrs. Fairfax. Also, a nice foreshadowing to what occurs later in the book at 1:43.

    If I was being honest, I like this better than the book if only for the reason they're much more intimate with each other. And they actually have personality. I suppose the problem I was having was the lack of visuals in the book and the majority of it devoted to description, dialogue, and internal musings.
    I love this so much better because I can see their interest in each other become so much more alive than in any other portrayal. Toby Stephens and Ruth Wilson have chemistry in this version.

    Its strange. Jane & Rochester's intimacy varies over the different movies.
    The first Jane Eyre movie I watched was the 2011 version and, though I believe the actors were perfect for the roles, this film version shows more reason for them to fall in love.
    This Jane Eyre shows Rochester far more emotion...more solid foundation for him to propose when he did. I want to watch all Jane Eyre movies and see how the couple's intimacy and open flirtation varies.

      so true but in the 2011 movie version , the characters were way more subtle with their emotions. works well but in the novel my opinion is that it was never that dark and gothic as portrayed in 2011 adaptation, it was way more lighthearted e.g. gypsy scene

      @fridakahlo4225 6 років тому +14

      İn my opinion, This version of Jane shows too much emotion. You can clearly see her excitement, her fondness and jealousy. She is more discreet in the novel, and that's what atracts Mr. Rochester's attention towards her, She doesn't give away her secrets so easily. And Mr. Rochester is colder than he should be. Yes, he has a sharp witt and tongue; but that is not all he's about. He is also a very very passionate man with quick temper. I think that's what the actor fails to portray. I can see no true passion and no emotion in him.

    There's definitely romance in the book. It's not as obvious as in a film, because you can't see the people's expressions and actions; all we know is what"Jane" (aka Charlotte Bronte) tells us, which is limited due (I expect) to: a) what was socially acceptable at the time the book was written, and b) the number of pages it would take to explain every single expression and motion every character makes. But the romance is definitely there. :)

      I had my own Rochester many years ago...right down to the wife he decided he didn't need to tell me about! (Fortunately, she wasn't homicidally insane and shut up in his attic. She was in merely in another country -- he claimed that they were divorced -- but they were still very much legally married according to the laws of his country even though they were living apart.) Unfortunately, when I discovered after a year that my "Rochester" was married, I also found out that I was not the only woman he had been seeing. The primary difference between Jane and me was that she never doubted that Rochester loved her. I'll never really know for certain if mine ever felt anything at all for me or if he merely pretended to so that I would think he cared and choose to stick around).

      That is the point, he wasn't supposed to be handsome and jane wasnt supposed to be typically beautiful.

    It is hard to see her as plain when her eyes are so expressive, her mouth is so quirky and full, and her very countenance is one of prettiness. Im not a lesbian, I am a writer, and Ruth Wilson is hardpressed to be called plain.

    Ive always loved this scene because if i remember correctly in the novel, this doctor never acknowledged jane almost as an equal and here he does. Infact did they even interact in the novel?

    Not at all. Don't you remember their conversation about "the men in green"? I know this adaptation is not perfect, but it's the first one that convinced that these two really loved each other.

    I really want to read the book after watching this series, is the book really not as romantic? I´m a sucker for romantic Victorian stories, so I hope it is not too far of.
    The movie from 1996 was ot very good in my opinion.

    I suppose Arthur said that simply because both novels deal with 'impossible loves': Catherine's love for Heathcliff (because of Edgar); Jane's love for Rochester (because of Bertha).
    I fully agree with you that Rochester and Heathcliff have nothing in common; and you already know that I don't think that "Wuthering Heights" is a novel as good as "Jane Eyre".
    You may find a couple of photographs of Arthur Bell Nicholls through 'Google'. One of them reminds me (vaguely) of... Michael Jayston!!!

    Are you thinking of the prequel: The Wide Sargasso sea based on the novel of the same name. I forget the name of the author but basically the story centres on how Rochester meets his first wife.There have been two versions of this to my knowledge.

  • @adams1030
    @adams1030 16 років тому +6

    I do agree that this version IS a bit teened-down. A lot of light flirtation. Which I don't like in an adaptation of a classic like Jane Eyre. Jane's supposed to be a sensible, almost humorless person, and Rochester's supposed to be dark and angry, with a sardonic sense of humor. And I loved Mr. Rochester's words and speeches in the book, too, but they're all dumbed down, mundane words now. As a movie, it's cute and good. As an adaptation, not so good. lol. That's my personal take, anyway.

    • @ksotikoulamarie5452
      @ksotikoulamarie5452 2 роки тому

      Jane is not humorless. I always laugh near the end when Rochester asks her if he is appalling and she responds that he is very much so, but he always was like this.

    yes - it is basically the same story line -
    genteel but poor naive young girl/ orphan with fine sensibilities falls in love with/marries upper class self confident, wealthy autocratic older man with evil/mad, former wife who has a sinister 'keeper/servant' .
    their relationship does not become 'real' until the manor is destroyed by fire and the older man has sustained a serious injury that changed him for life.
    then they reverse roles and the young girl becomes the strong caretaker.

    @tinach88 so, so true. In the book, I didn't really like Mr. Rochester. I didn't like him at all, really. He is sarcastic, biting and bitter. I only liked him here,

  • @domramalaja
    @domramalaja 16 років тому +1

    To be more precise; Mr. Eshton is a character in the novel. Jane introduces us, the readers, to him like this in Chapter XVII:
    "Mr. Eshton, the magistrate of the district, is gentleman-like: his hair is quite white, his eyebrows and whiskers still dark, which gives him something of the appearance of a 'père noble de théâtre.'".
    But I agree with you. I cannot see why the scriptwriter found it necessary to change him to a young scientist and add all that about twins and "bad blood".

    As far as I remember, there is no such a moment in the book. Have the producers of this film found some unknown pages of the novel. Otherwise this film has nothing to do with Bronte's novel. And this strange Jane that is far from being a quiet little nun. She looks like Rochester's mistress. No chemistry, no tension of the meeting.

    both first wives (in my view) reflect hidden/unacceptable/non conforming/antisocial/un-submissive/destructive/unacknowledged parts of the female psyche that the young girl does not yet possess.
    but we know that she will not live the rest of her life as a diffident wimp.

  • @kellynch

    I'm an older viewer and I prefer this one to the Morton/Hinds version too. Morton/Hinds leaves out huge chunks of the plot; Hinds' Rochester yells too much and Morton's Jane is always crying. Bleagh.
