  • Ralph Fiennes is FINE~

    but not a great casting, I'm sure they could've gotten another handsome middle-eastern descendant to portray Heathcliff.

  • I hate Hindley soo much!

  • The soundtrack to this film still gives me a lump in my throat.

  • It's interesting to see Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche as a romantic couple prior to playing nurse and patient in 'The English Patient.'

    They have great chemistry no matter the scenario.

  • gahhh what bugs me is they are way to old to be playing the roles...i mean Catherine died before she was 18, and all the scenes happened when they were teens...not adults...it's just awkward watching after reading the book

  • Heatlcliff look like conan the barbarian hahahaha

  • Even if Nelly was silent most of the time, one can see how she loved them like her own.

  • The laughter they shared was infectious ; I found myself grinning at their faces.

  • Comment removed

  • i really want to read the book...i probobly shouldnt be watchin the movie first but oh well

  • Heathcliff is as I imagined him but I wish they had used another actress for Cathy, this Cathy is too fragile looking, the Cathy in the book is less dainty.

  • Generally I like this actress but not in this movie, When I read the book I pictured Kathrin differently.

  • none of this happened in the book... this movie doesn't tell half of it

  • @RafaellaszBill Agreed. They leave out the most important parts of the book in this movie! I hate Cathy in this film.

  • Heathcliff is lord Voldemort

  • damn heathcliff is fine

  • la verdad es que no me gusto...deja mucho que desear.

  • This... movie-ish thing stains the very name of the book.

  • is heathcliff extraordinary ?????

  • this version is the best ever,no comparrison. juliet binoche and ralph fiennes acted beautifully.

  • At this point, Cathy's supposed to be 12 and Heathcliffe 13

  • Thanks!!!

  • The book was nothing like this. WHY?

  • Ugh! This part of the movie made me fall I'n love with Heathcliff,when I know I'm supposed to hate him!

  • "Think about your soul" ma ha ha ha ha!!!!

    That's a good one!

  • IT'S VOLDEMORT!!!

  • @livelongnprosper92 who is that??? walmart?

  • the actors are too old to look like 16 year old children

  • im pretty sure cathy had red hair...

  • is it me or did cathy have blonde hair in the book?

    

  • @catyvet No, Catherine Earnshaw had brown hair. Her daughter, the other Catherine, was the one who had blonde hair.

  • I like this version,I just wish they calmed the music down..it is rather cheesey I feel and so full on! But I do love this story.

  • Yay! Heathcliff's hot! :)

  • Heathcliff is sooooo hott

  • Ralph Fiennes IS Heathcliff - although I liked this wondrous mystery Timothy Dalton also had..

  • he is soo - yum. I WANT A HEATHCLIFF. :D <3

  • Young Heathcliff is so adorable! ^_^

  • Wuthering Heights is a classic...

  • kick...ass....music.

  • 3:50 - 3:55 is my favourite bit LOVE RF!!!!! <3

  • Strange how I've always known of Heathcliff and Catherine's almost supernatural amounts of love for each other, but never sexual love..

    And that was a little creepy with the prophecy thingy hahaha, don't remember that in the book =P

  • I've just seen this movie in HBO a while ago and I've been hearing of wuthering heights many times before but never really had the time to read the book... but I feel that the book might really be better. After watching the film though, I felt heavy inside coz' of what happened with the characters around heathcliff and cathy.

  • Gosh dang it, I want this movie. There's so many things in it that aren't mentioned in the older version

  • whatever the shortcomings of it...Ralph Fiennes is sooooooo sexy. The perfect Heathcliff.

  • Sometime in the 90s, or maybe the late '89s, a university professor wrote a novel called H-Heathcliff's Story. She speculated that Heathcliff was the illegitimate son of Mr. Rochester, the hero in Jane Eyre. Continuing the story of Heathcliff was cool.

  • I read the book before see this..I can't understand some words cause i'm italian..BUT THIS FILM IT'S TOTALLY WRONG!!!!!!! Heathcliff and Catherine..never stay together as a couple..OMG..*Despite everything Ralph Fiennes is a perfect Heathcliff

  • @LuisaDust They don't stay together in the movie either

  • @zeninvention Min 2:45 .. Seems they are SO close..Too much..The book is not as explicit

  • I tried reading the book today, but I began to get frustrated with the language :P

    I DO like the plot though ^^

  • Oh~ Ralph Fiennes, what a sexy man you are...

    I'll admit that I didn't have any particular fondness for the book. *prepares to get jumped* But I do like this. :)

  • @UselessRambling - It's wierd actually! the first time i read the book i really didnt like it but we had to do it in school and so i re-read it and i adore it! its so obsessively passionate! alse i think that is the most adequate description of ralph fiennes ever!

  • @schuperP I had to read it in school, too, and I was about ready to die of boredom (yayyyy, Sparknotes! And I still got a 70 or 80 on the test xD). But after this, I might attempt a second look...

  • No! Cathy's supposed to be blonde! Part of the reason Heathcliff was considered so strange was because his hair was dark. :(

  • @greenpeach20 catherine earnshaw is supposed to be dark and catherine linton (her daughter) is supposed to be blonde.

  • is sb able to take linton seriously?! XDludicrous

  • Cathy's a jerk! She acts all high and mighty and pretends there's nothing she can do, but poor heathcliff!!!!

  • @heymisia I don't think you have watched the movie... lol I can tell you don't understand it...

  • LOL woww. linton looks nothing near what i pictured him...

    he looks more like a chubby kid.

  • thats got to be the creepiest freakin tree i believe ive ever seen :/

  • I found Semaphore version of Wuthering Heights much more entertaining :P

  • The book was interesting until Cathy was alive, then it was boring… The movie…I absolutely love it, I thing Ralph is perfect Heathcliff and Juliette is perfect Cathy. NO other adaptation reflects the true characters of the book as this one does. The chemistry between actors is amazing. The eyes of Ralph…sexy, haunting….It is the best love-obsession-hate story ever told.

  • can't stand the mawkish voice of Sinead O'Connor

    could she sound more maudlin!

    no one like her could have written such a spiritied character as Cathy

  • "How can I live without my love, how can I live without my life?"

  • @lolitah028

    nelly, he is my soul

  • @lolitah028 That one sentence showed the depth of his love for her.

  • i was 14 when i saw this film and everything changed in my mind ! THIS BEST OF THE BEST FILM,BOOK,WRITER Emily Bronte

  • @Lile79Nia really? cus eem 14 hehe n eema bearly watchin it cus eem too lazy to read the book xP

  • Ralph Fiennes reminds me a lot of Liam Neeson.... I think it's the accent and the hair

  • Oh wow. Even the children look like the grown-up actors. I love the part where they're cuddling together, and that it's just so innocent and characteristic of their friendship.

  • wielokropek - lubie ludzi ktorzy sluchaja dobrej muzyki - zapraszam CIebie na

    ww jamendo com - wpisz tam moje imie i nazwisk - Marcin Brzozowski a znajdziesz moj profil i moja muzyke - ciekaw jestem Twojej opinii

  • Gosh........love him in this film.......he is absolutely hot!

  • "but he's a Gypsy" hahahahah

    

  • Twilight can never be compared to the wonderful writing of Emily Bronte... it's an insult.

  • @NeccoWecco why do you need to compare?

  • @cherrybeadfactory Because Wuthering Heights got a Twilight-style cover revently... Search "Wuthering Heights Twilight" in google.

  • @NeccoWecco Oh i see..

  • @NeccoWecco dont forget charlotte too!

  • @NeccoWecco The problem of adapting Wuthering Heights to film and to drive the point home that Heathcliff and Cathy are of "one soul", is that EBronte rarely let us in to their intimate moments. Much is left to the imagination and whomever adapts this novel has to make something up. The narrator throughout most of the book is Nelly Dean, the housekeeper, who doesn't understand the intensity of C/H's relationship. Cathy especially is way beyond Nelly's comprehension.

  • @NeccoWecco Wuthering height its a classic. beautiful, sublime, nothing to compare to twilight.

  • @NeccoWecco lol I know this is a late comment.....but I could not agree more: Comparing Twilight to Wuthering Heights is like comparing Lil Wayne to Mozart....Classic just owns the modern ANY DAY!

  • @NeccoWecco Don't say that. A girl who read Twilight at 15 may get interested on Heights at 20.

  • @NeccoWecco

    u cannot compare them they r both perfect in their own way :)

  • its VOLDEMORT!!!!

  • in the book i can't stand Catherine E, she gets on my nerves and her daughter cathy is just as annoying

  • there are 3 people have eyes that make me obsessed: Edward Cullen, Wentworth Miller and Ralph Fiennes

  • Geez why does Ralph Fiennes have to be so DAMN GOOD LOOKING??? I love those eyes... This move is awesome and so is the book; now I'm gonna start reading Jane Eyre =)

    And Juliette Binoche is awesome as well, one of my favourite actresses ever.

  • 2:57 he is so beautiful.....his eyes, my God ....he is wonderful

  • @hodge95...... :O me too....so cute i love heathcliff and cathy... i always watch the film..... :) best love story ever :P

  • His eyes at 2:57.....<3

    Those same eyes haunted me when he was Amon Goeth in Schindler's List. They MADE his character.

  • Comment removed

  • @hodge95 : yea we watched the film and read the book aswel..... at the start i didnt like him but near the end i did....its so cute in the film wen he picked cathy up when she was in the coffin and hugged her..... so cute :) i love the film...wuthering heights is my favourite love story :) i have the dvd. love it :)

  • @hodge95 ya so do i... ya i know he is lol..... both handsome :P x

  • this movie is so morbid...i love it!

  • But... but... they weren't looking at THAT part of the sky!!!!

  • the woman is giddy and horrible makes me hate her

  • Never ever make a classic you can not capture it the original will always be the best this movie does not compare at all.

  • omg i rember this movie.....after 14yrs i finally rember this gr8 movie....such gr8 acting and emotion 10/10=)

  • I love this novel. One of my favorites.  Generally I don't like the films I watch after reading a good book, but this one, surprinsingly, didn't disappoint me.

  • awwwwww 

  • GREAT...I love heathcliff. wonderful ralph fiennes

  • heathcliff doesn't look DARK he looks DIRTY... he is supposed to be dark-skinned, not just smudged with coal.

  • Actually, in the book it's not said if they sleep together since we only know what they did when Nelly was near, and they sure wouldn't have slept together with Nelly in the same room? Ralph Fiennes is goddamn hawt, BTW X3

  • I love this story, its so twisted.... its conveys the complications of affections with a mix of incest, violence, sexual attraction, jealousy...

  • @yellowwitch1 yeah... it provides such a dark pessimistic image of human kind that you can't stop yourself from being attracted to this novel even if you despise it for that it disturbs and because it represents the bitter truth in a crude way...

  • they're waaayyy tooo old to play cathy and heathcliff. sorry but the book is much better than this wack film. and did heathcliff and cathy were this close to each other like cuddling and giggling on the bed? that was ridiculous.

  • Hindley kinda annoys me?

  • ralph fiennes is actually the hottest man in the world....he fuckin gorgeous.....

  • @efalovesjustin he scares me. I see him as a bad person.

  • SO SEXY AHH

  • OMG WERE THEY SLEEPING TOGETHER!? that so did not happen in the book...

  • @totaltwinconnection2 they weren't sleeping together they

    were lying next to each other

  • well at least is better than other versions... And I think that Fiennes is a hot heatcliff XD

  • hindley...i think its hindley...looks like kevin jonas in a way. ha

  • voldemort's so effin hot

  • love these two so much. they were great together in The English Patient, too.

  • true timeless class. my favourite novel ever. movie is beautiful too.

  • it skiped completely the fathers death and hindley leaving and coming back from collage...

  • @k1ttykat01 Well they can't do everything to please everyone.

  • u can compare a bit bella's situiation with jacob and edward with cathy;s stiuation with heatcliff and edgar....

    but ofcourse there is no comparison between the books...WH it's much better than any book from twilight

  • Woah what's up with the scene of cathy and heathcliff just laying together... they kind of twisted some stuff, didn't they, the book, unless I'm mistaken, didn't have the 2 all over each other like that once they were older

  • @smeethes Right! but it made me feel good! Even if it is not written in THE BOOK, it could have happened: they were young and in love, and lived in the same house... the scene somehow appeases the mind of some readers (me included) giving them the chance to believe that H&C at least had experimented sexually-charged contact, (though not the whole thing). That, in my point of view, increases the passion between them, and later, the frustration of never having satisfied that passion completely

  • this is alright, not as good as the book obv but much better than the awful itv version

  • i like this scene though it misses some part from the book. the book is a lot better.

  • @ooitai

    the books, usually, are always better =/

  • @smeethes yeah.. always.

  • This misses out lots from the book! :(

  • Oh jeez this is horrible. The book is wonderful and gah... Well, hopefully someone will redo it and it will be wonderful.

  • this film does nothing for the book, the book is so much better :)

  • that's true..book is the best!

  • @bbyhustler Agreed!

  • @bbyhustler I just have to agree, there were lots of scenes that weren't shown... and it's quite disappointing...

  • Hmm, i love the book but i don't think it really translates into a film. The use of the (double) narrative is too prominent a factor to be disregarded.

  • omg i want to have that blue dress from cathy..i love it

  • Ralph Feinnes rocked my world in this movie. I love Dalton in the oldest version, but my H. is Feinnes.

  • who had this book ? may ask you,who is joseph in the story ? i cant see him..

  • Ralph Fiennes looks sexy

  • yeah SO MUCH :):)

  • I prefer the 1970 film with Timothy Dalton. Also, it's not his fault, he's a good actor, but it's hard to see Ralph Fiennes in a different role as I always remember the Nazi character he played in Schindler's List.

  • it's harder to have watched wuthering heights and the english patient before you watch schindler's list, and then totaly crush on amon goeth

  • AND voldemort.

  • @1:29 it's Hagrid!

    I'm sorry, I had to say it. *ehmehm*

    anyways, I am absolutely in love with wuthering heights. I personally don't care for twilight, at all, I don't know why you're even comparing it to this masterpiece n_n And I'm not just saying I like it because it's a classic, either. If this plot had been written nowadays, it would be immensely more popular than twilight, in my opinion.

  • @otterpopsarehot lol i totally noticed Hagrid too!!!!

    we watching in class, and I was all like "OMG there's HAGRID!!!" lol

  • @otterpopsarehot Its Wuthering Heights + Harry Potter. Thats a classic in the making!

  • The movie is a satisfying realization of the most important aspects of the book, and which effectively brings the audience into the lives and hearts of the characters. watch and enjoy full movie at BigOnlineMovies . c o m

  • nooooooooooo they didn't have such a 'romantic' relationship...it wasn't ever sweet.

  • this scene is bullshit, i don't think the story was intended that way

  • In the book it's only written that C. & H. were often off and about and left to the romantic and personal imagination of the reader. This scene shouldn't have been filmed...but hinted only and left to the personal imagination of the audience.....shame shame...

  • could not yet read book Wuthering Heights but watched 1939 version of movie any how it may be diffrence from book watch it 20 years ago when I was just 13 y.old than remembered today and watched original version.perfect love story and support that all book may have movie version.I love it

  • In the book there relationship was much less lovey dovey.

  • Right, it seemed like that tension was part of what kept Heathcliff so tortured?

  • Exactly

  • @babye1moretime yeah infact there was no lovey in it

  • This is really diffrent from the book, wich I have just finished... they do not have such an open relationship, and no agreement between them...

  • the excellent coloured shaped theme in the bardos a lawyer as always

  • At first i thought those rocks were sheep.

  • lol me too

  • Cathy?Catherine?

  • Oh gosh I love Ralph Fiennes

  • @meangirl19 Me too,he has such beautiful eyes! And his voice...:)

  • this is such an better heathcliff then all the other WH

  • incomparable!

  • RALP YOU ARE AMAZING

  • MY feelings too!!!

  • Truly a gr8 book!!!!

    the character's are very very interesting......

    Hmmmm.. i feel one should not compare the "CLASSICS" like JANE EYRE, WUTHERING HEIGHTS, SENSE AND SENSIBILITY" WITH TODAY'S NOVELS LIKE "TWILIGHT SAGA",HARRY POTTER....

    loved twilight!!! but can let go of the classics :)

  • you cannot compare the classics to harry potter etc. because these books were not popular back then. This literature is very valuable and not many people read it. Besides, nobody knew these novels during the brontes' lifetime. The Bronte-sisters received high recognition after their death. so much for that.

  • Thats what i am saying... one should never compare them!!!!

  • The Brontes died too young to enjoy the full recognition their talent deserves..........am reading WH for the first time and I am 40! It's a flipping amazing book what took me so long lol!

  • AlmaS, Charlotte Bronte was the only sister famous in her own lifetime as JaneEyre was a runaway best seller in 1847. WH took until 20th century to become more popular as I think it shocked people more at the time. Also Emily Bronte was not interested in publishing her book or fame, so CB got it published. Emily is such an enigma, I wish I could have met her, She was brilliant but a real loner.

  • I know - when I read the introductions by Charlotte Bronte I always got the feeling that she wasn't all that extraordinary - I mean Jane Eyre is a very good book, but she was just a little patronizing of her other sisters' works, just because of her 'runaway best seller'. She called Wuthering Heights 'rough and unhewn' and suchlike, but even though I read Jane Eyre first like most, Wuthering completely surpassed it. Emily seemed like a really vivid presence, truly gifted.

  • That is really true!!! And I wish everybody would read such a fantastic book. There is nothing like it. I have 4 copies. Two in English and two in Portuguese, translated by Rachel de Queiroz. Her idol was Emily Brontë, so she really did an excellent job!

  • harry potter is still amazing mate :D

  • there useful philosophy also
