Movie Reviews of Masterpiece Theatre: The Bronte Collection
Movie Review: Buy ONLY Jane Eyre
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought both the Jane Eyre DVD and the Bronte Collection (which is the same Jane Eyre DVD and a version of Wuthering Heights).
I absolutely LOVED the Jane Eyre movie and it prompted me to read the classic which is so good.
I have also read the Wuthering Heights as well. However I did not enjoy either the Wuthering Heights DVD nor the book. Wuthering Heights is such a savage novel and very depressing. No redemption for the morally debase characters.
Jane Eyre however is so entralling, it is as if there are three wonderful stories in one book. It has so many twists and turns and it has romance, mystery, horror and it reflects some strong, uplifting characters. Despite Mr Rochester's dark past, I fell absolutely in Love with him!!! The Book is Fabulous and Toby Stephens is a SPLENDID, TOO-Handome, but absolutely WONDERFUL Mr Edward Fairfax Rochester. I watched the Jane Eyre DVD six times in one week. I have seen a couple other versions, BUT none as well done as this Masterpiece Theatre production with Toby!!!
Buy the DVD of Jane Eyre, forget about the Bronte collection, Wuthering Heights is not worth it.
