Standards of beauty were SO different back then and now:
Like Jane is always said to be so slight and petite, whereas Blanche, who is considered to be the belle of the country is described as "an armful" (quote Rochester in the novel). Today, Jane would be a size zero and Blanche would be called fat!
Hey people, Jane isn't supposed to be considered attractive. The same for Mr. Rochester. It's all in the book.
I dislike the script of this movie. It's interesting to see this version but it's not at all my favourite. I don't feel like they're the same characters as the ones portaited in the book.
@TheHundizhang Straight after their first encounter in Hay Lane, when he observed her "strange perseverence" and that she "spoke with a sort of authority".
@tarynrose1000 An unbelievably shallow comment. Ruth Wilson is one of the best actresses of her generation, and I'm so pleased that she was given the opportunity to shine as Jane Eyre.
Rochester is really awful but St. John Rivers is pretty wacko so our heroine doesn't really have much to choose from sadly. Toby Stephens is pretty freaking hot here!
20K pounds today is nothing compared to 20K back then, back then that was basically saying he was worth 1.7mill today and with the prices back then, Thornfield probably cost 500 pounds or something so no wonder they could live like they did. XD
And another thing. He's honest about how most people would see him more handsome for his $ but what she knows is that you could have billions but if you were internally ugly then no one would love you and you'd have no friends. Truely, an empty life. It's what sad to see sometimes. People that think that once they have lots of $, they will like themselves more and that the $ will make everything OK. Ask people who have fame and little privacy.
@TiffKing I was watching it again today and was thinking that Rochester was describing Jane as the firebird. If so he has her pegged pretty well. Interesting analogy for sure.
That look he gives her at 9.13 wow it makes my heart do a flutter. He is one sexy man his mother must be so proud of him. The best ever Rochester and Jane.
ruth wilson's upper lip is very unique, and it's rather rude to compare her to a duck. i think that she is very pretty, just not in the covergirl way that most people find attractive. and even if she wasn't pretty it wouldn't matter because i think that she plays this part wonderfully, better than anybody else i've ever seen. she is a wonderful actress and that is all that matters.
@pianolover213 I agree with you totally and women spend thousands to inject stuff into their lips to look like that. i think she is so pretty when she is speaking to mr. Rochester. :o)
His change in facial expression at 0.46 after her comments was just perfect. He doesn't even have to say anything and yet we know he's hiding some darkness within him. That's a good actor.
Which chapter of the novel is this scene from? Can someone tell me please? Since the novel has a total of 38 chapters, it will be easier to appreciate the these scenes if chapter numbers are given with each one of them. I
It is a brilliantly written novel by the great feminist authoress Charlotte Bronte. I still like reading her once in while even in this century! Great writers are like beacons of light on the great ocean of life.
I do think that Jane's actress seems rather plain in some scenes (and other scenes she looks really pretty), but she has some of the prettiest eyes I've ever seen.
One of the reasons that the novel may be dead: Brontë does get it across that Rochester is by no means good-looking but sexy; well, with today's social etiquette, "Jane Eyre" would probably have 30 pages, and they'd start making out on page 3. Not that I miss the 500 pages leading up to the making out that people had to endure in those days.
I really wanted Jane and Rochester to have the whole "am I ugly?" dialogue the way it is in the book - you know, the whole, "she pretends to soothe while irritating!" it's such perfect banter.
@oXAtlantisXo Given that neither of the actors is even remotely ugly, perhaps they had the decency to curtail this particular bit. :) Brontë ephasizes in every possible way that Jane is really plain and that Rochester is ugly and disproportionate although somehow sexy.
I think what it was was that their looks were not classically beautiful. Meaning what was considered beauty now, wasn't then. Rochester was too rough, too brooding, not a pretty boy. I'm guessing women who were considered beautiful were supposed to be taller, and more defined than Jane. She is described as very small, and features that were regular and "so marked".
*le swoon* Rochester was my first literary crush in my early teens. So lovely to see Toby do him justice and his smile is to die for! I especially love how he brings out the character's sense of humour rather than moping about like the new version does.
And bee-tee-dubs, you'd think you would have warned the poor governess, "by the way, there's a crazy lady that wanders that halls at night, if you open the door she'll claw your eyes out."
Don't take this the wrong way, but Jane Eyre looks like a duck, I think because of her lips. I don't mean to be rude, she is pretty, but her face just reminds me of a duck for some reason. A very pretty duck!
My exam this year was the gothic and inculuded "Wuthering Heights", and one of my lit teachers kept talking about Rochchester when we disscussed bryonic heroes and she would always describe him as handsome. I always wanted to tell her off! Me thinks she's been lead astray by Mr. Stephens!
Well, as to criticism because Stephens is too handsome... It may be difficult to find a really ugly actor anyway. No-one wants to see an ugly person playing anything these days. What disturbs me more is that he looks much too young to be Jane's father, and his character was totally misconstrued. He does flirt, but in a more sophisticated, Regency type way. This is much too direct.. And he is rude into the bargain. He is not fascinating or mysterious at all, but just unpleasant and confusing.
Toby Stephens is rather good-looking to play the character of Edward Rochester convincingly. Charlotte Bronte writes that few people would call Mr Rochester handsome - it seems other way round here! I prefer Ciaran Hinds performance as Rochester as more true to what Charlotte had envisioned.
@RushTheSilver Toby Stephens might be hadsome but he is an astounding actor. Saying he is a poor choice for Rochester simply for his looks is just as bad as a good looking but talentless actor getting a part.
You can tell they did attempt to make him less socially handsome but oddly enough I find he more attractive as Rochester than he is outside of the part.

has anyone else turned on the captions options.... 4:59 "general walnut" and 9:28 "pc finding him snack ideas", 9:41 "suite of rooms next to candy" rofl hahaha
Everybody critizes the fact that Mr Rochester is too handsome in this version but one has to admit that a movie with a sexy character who's in love (♥) is much more better and pleasant than if he would be ugly! it makes the film more interesting and nice... It makes us dreaming! :D
I really like the Rochester-as-natural-historian-gentleman bent this interpretation takes - aside from the constant walks and his interest in novel creatures, you see this influence carry through in this version into the way Jane teaches.
Also, it doesn't hurt to watch the expressions on Rochester's face when talking about the rare firebird at Thornfield Hall!
@MuzeyyenKarakoc Which "very very last part" do you mean? I've read it at least 10 times and I'm sure there are others commenting here who can give some insight.
@OohcoolProductions is adele in the film really look a child of 8 years old? in some part of the novel jane was able to carry her to bed when she was too much sleepy. but in that case, i think jane will not be able to carry her.
My biggest criticism of this version, despite the fact the Toby Stephens is too handsome to play Bronte's Rochester (but I'm not complaining about that), is the line at 7:12: "Jane! Come and look at this fellow." In the book, this is the opening to the proposal scene. I'm glad they kept it somewhere in this film, but it should've been left in its proper home.
The book doesn't state too clearly but its highly unlikely that Adele is his daughter. She's the daughter of his former French lover who claimed that Rochester's the father but the woman had affairs with other men and she didn't want to keep Adele so she left her to him.
"I spoke hastily sir, I did not mean I find you repellant", ha, ha, the look on his face when she states it and the way he raises his eyebrows as if saying: "So you do think I'm handsome?" :)
I find so ironic the part about the firebird, when Rochester is speaking to Adele about how one day she grows confident and flies somewhere warm and never comes back. The tone of his voice is so carelless, it's obvious he's inventing it as a metaphore of Jane. Litttle does he know she will leave him. :(
Ruth Wilson is stunning. Y'all need to shutup.

@MuzeyyenKarakoc Which "very very last part" do you mean? I've read it at least 10 times and I'm sure there are others commenting here who can give some insight.

Rochester's fortune is 2,000,000, or about 2 million US dollars, in today's funds.

Rochester's fortune is 2,000,000, or about 2 million US dollars. Basically he's a millionaire twice over.

@OohcoolProductions is adele in the film really look a child of 8 years old? in some part of the novel jane was able to carry her to bed when she was too much sleepy. but in that case, i think jane will not be able to carry her.

My biggest criticism of this version, despite the fact the Toby Stephens is too handsome to play Bronte's Rochester (but I'm not complaining about that), is the line at 7:12: "Jane! Come and look at this fellow." In the book, this is the opening to the proposal scene. I'm glad they kept it somewhere in this film, but it should've been left in its proper home.

I'm confused is Adele ( not sure that's right ) his daughter?

@mo95261
The book doesn't state too clearly but its highly unlikely that Adele is his daughter. She's the daughter of his former French lover who claimed that Rochester's the father but the woman had affairs with other men and she didn't want to keep Adele so she left her to him.

"I spoke hastily sir, I did not mean I find you repellant", ha, ha, the look on his face when she states it and the way he raises his eyebrows as if saying: "So you do think I'm handsome?" :)
I find so ironic the part about the firebird, when Rochester is speaking to Adele about how one day she grows confident and flies somewhere warm and never comes back. The tone of his voice is so carelless, it's obvious he's inventing it as a metaphore of Jane. Litttle does he know she will leave him. :(

"Do you think me hansome?" - "No, sir".
Oooh, liar liar, pants on fire. (Or "underskirt", in this case.)
