Movie Reviews of Jane Eyre
Movie Review: JANE EYRE IS A TIMELESS AND BELOVED CLASSIC LOVE STORY!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a true Jane Eyre fan, and this is also another version of Jane Eyre that I love! This movie is one of the most beautiful to me, with the breathtaking surrounding lands of Thornfield, and then Thornfield itself is so beautiful, and I so dearly loved the beautiful rooms of Thornfield, and Jane's, Aunt Reed's house, and I loved the costumes in the movie! And I dearly love movies with beautiful horses, and carriages! This movie was very well done!
I loved all the actors, and I loved William Hurt as Mr. Rochester, and I loved the young Jane Eyre, and the young girl who played Helen Burns with the beautiful red hair, they were outstanding!
The tall and graceful, young woman who played Jane Eyre had a shy and quiet, and guarded manner that I liked, it matched William Hurt's Edward Rochester, which was brooding, and bitter and guarded and moody!
This is the timeless and beloved classic love story, about a unwanted and unloved little girl named Jane Eyre, who becomes a orphan, and she grows into a young woman who yearns to escape the strict confines of Lowood school to have a life of her own. So she advertises, and gets a job as a governess to a pretty little girl named Adele, at the grand estate of Thornfield. (this Adele is one of my favorite Jane Eyre movie Adele's ) Adele is Mr. Edward Rochester's ward.
Edward is the master of Thornfield. Edward has traveled around the world trying to escape from Thornfield and so, he hardly ever visits or stays at Thornfield, because of the painful memories of his past ,but when Edward meets Jane, all that changes forever, because Jane and Edward fall inlove with each other, but a hidden and a very dangerous secret, threatens their happiness!
If you love classic love stories ,then this is for you, I so dearly love all these movie versions of Jane Eyre! I hope more movies of this story gets done, because this is a story that I never get tired of seeing no matter how many different ways it gets tolded, because this is a timeless classic!
Summary of Jane Eyre
JANE EYRE - DVD MovieFranco Zeffirelli (Romeo and Juliet) and screenwriter Hugh Whitemore strip away a bit of the familiar romanticism of Charlotte Brontė's novel and come up with a more plain but somehow quite interesting film adaptation. Charlotte Gainsbourg (The Cement Garden) makes for an oddly appealing but deliberately unlovely version of Jane (previous actresses have included Susannah York and Joan Fontaine), and William Hurt is excellent as an equally revised Rochester, brusque and self-involved but not the totem of torment and charisma we've seen before. The story clings to the usual chapters in the book, but with Zeffirelli shaping the principal characters to reflect their cautious perceptions of one another--rather than to a Hollywood notion of grand passion--the film has a wonderful accessibility. Great support from Joan Plowright, Billie Whitelaw, Anna Paquin, and the rest of the cast. --Tom Keogh
