  • Its so sweet how he seems to somehow need jane's approval...

  • J: Do you still love her, sir?

    R: Who?

    J: Celine...Ms. Varrons

    R: Good God no! I threw her out of the hotel room and shot him.

    <3 Hilarious

  • Maybe Rochester thought Jane would judge him for his promiscuous past. Many victorian governesses might have.

  • i had seen almost all the screening but no other seems to me so good, so well putted on the screen following the book. i love this movie and i love toby for his interpretation. A great movie and great actors.

  • I wonder if the entire story telling is an attempt to corrupt our little Jane. Jane is obviously unaccustomed to hearing about "dark intoxicating hours" and blushes more and more. And then Rochester seems to fall into his own trap: the way he looks at Jane at 2:44-2:48 suggests that he finally sees her as not only an intelligent woman but also an attractive one.

  • The music is so beautiful and it fits so well!

  • toby stephens increases my absolute adoration for rochester ;]

  • Rochester should be eternally grateful to Adele - if she hadn't been left in nhis hands, he and Jane would never have met.

  • Actually possessing wealth doesn't seem to ever be worth it. Must be why girls dream of being princesses not queens. I don't know what boys aspire to in that way. Knights? Certainly more appealing than being a king.

  • It's the night before my English exam. I am watching this and have just underlined a passage in the book:

    "And was Mr Rochester now ugly in my eyes? No, reader: gratitude, and many associations, all pleasurable and genial, made his face the object I best liked to see: his presence in a room was more cheering than the brightest fire. Yet I had not forgotten his faults; indeed, I could not, for he had brought them frequently before me."

    Then I look at the screen at 7:32 and I'm like "HOLY SHIT!"

  • if anyone at all can tell me where to find the music for this series please tell me i absolutely love it!!!

  • "Good God no!" LMFAO

  • This Bertha Mason is the creepiest!

  • I love how when he's describing the "mistake", he starts by saying this "young man" then towards the end, he changes to first person...

  • Is she kinda blushing in this scene? Or at least did they make her like so. I feel as though she was pale when he started speaking to her and by the time his story ends, she is red :) might be the cold of the day though ;)

  • I fully agree he has the sexiest voice ever I always said the British have it. And his eyes who could not love him, they make me go all funny in the knees.

  • What I would give to have Mr. Rochester talking to me like this...in a quiet afternoon...

  • got to love that sexy voice of his! why is it that british actors have the nicest voices?

  • his bed is on fire, and hes still somehow asleep? he must sleep like a rock...

  • oh god i couldn't resist to his sexy eyes i would have melted..he's so romantic and his voice is so wow luv it

  • Jane learned how to hide her feelings - from pain and ridicule ~

  • i really like how this version demonstrates how much rochester relies on jane's judgment at 4:00 i think most versions forget to include that fact

  • I was watching the 1996 version and read many comments of how this one was the best so I had to watch it and see and yes, I love this one a lot so far. Mr. Rochester is so sexy and more romantic :o)

  • you have to admit, compared to most girls *cough, me* who would have locked themselves in their room and hope for the best, she just marches striaght out there.

  • i remember when this came on in 2006 every sunday i was up watching it with my mum!!!!

  • she is brave... i'd have bolted my door and gone back and hid under my sheets...

  • Oh, Rochester, you sly dog, you!

  • I find both tobey Stephen's and Ruth wilson's voices to be strangely hypnotic! I could listen to an audio book from them all day *_*

  • Je ne sais pas si c'est son petit côté anglais, mais il me fait un peu penser à Hugh Grant...

  • @nyoda12 

  • This is great casting!! She's "plain" (not supermodely but not ugly) and he's definately not "classicly" handsome but you kinda get used to him as you get to know him... I think every other rendition I've seen has it reversed, lol!!

  • @KDVx3 if she had her face made up like celebs nowadays, she would look extremely 'covergirl'

  • This movie creeps me out but I love it so much. It's an amazing story.

  • her eyebrowsss ARGHHHHH >.<

  • @ Golddoesnotglitter For the win? Thanks though.

  • What does FTW mean? Please someone answer me.

  • @disneyworldcrazy1 there are two ways to use it "F*** the world" or "For the win"

  • Waaaay to yummy for a Rochester...

  • @chemical93girl Rochester is described as having too short legs and I think more than once as monstrous, though humorously, I supposse. But unless you're Mike Leigh, it's very difficult to make a film with truly plain actors. It's our fault, too... I can't say that I mind Ruth Wilson, either... Mia Wasikowska may be a good choice for the 2011 version, as she's not ugly but less than blindingly beautiful.

  • The boyfriend of Selina is pretty♥♥

  • @Glam132 Who is that?

  • @missmuggledetector Celine is ex girlfriend of mister Rochester... And the guy is cool

  • @Glam132 Oh, yes I know lol..You just wrote a different name before xD "Selina"

  • @missmuggledetector yeahh sorry xD

  • Creepy house, creepy noises- and only a candle? I'd lock the door and hide under the covers!

  • Her eyebrows are really something

  • Jane: Do you still lover her?

    Rochester: Who?

    Jane: Celine...I mean, Miss Varens.

    Rochester: Good God, no!

    LMAO. I adore him. <3

  • OK. I'm doing some quick math here. Rochester married Bertha Mason and got her dowry of 30 thousand pounds. Then all the male relatives in his family died and he inherited the entire family fortune on top of that. If I'm correct, he should have been, at the time he spoke to Jane, worth way more than 20 thousand pounds, even if he spent down some of the Mason money.

    Not only is he smokin', but he's holding out on her!

  • @LatteCafe82 Keep in mind the reason he married Bertha in the first place. His father and brother spent most of the fortune, and were near bankruptcy.

  • @TheRentFan ??? No, do you confuse Edward R. with John Reed??? Edward's father wanted to leave everything to his older brother, but wished Edward to have the same status without HIM giving the money, so he arranged this, as Mr Mason was a rich business associate of his.

  • @LatteCafe82 True, but they calculated it by how much one's estates/investments etc. earned a year..... not by how much is in the bank. =-)

  • BAHAHAHA. "Good God no! I threw her out of the hotel room and I shot him!" XD

  • colin firth....toby stevens......idk which one is better...

  • 'Do you think me ugly, Jane?' ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND, MAN? :)

  • @obsessmuch666 He's not what was considered handsome at the time and he knows it. As for why he's asking her, he likes her.

  • I read the book... and this adaptation is too much verbiage. The 1996 movie is better (not perfect but better). But thanks Goldenivy! For alot of people it's look just perfetc. :)

  • @emeliejolie87 I did not read the book but seen both versions...love better this one. The 96's was too much of a jane, almost not human. she showed no emotions whatsoever. and then, paff! she's il love (declared without even changing her face expression)

    and the verbiage? it made the movie more fun to watch!

  • Jane doesn't get much dialogue in this version, and her responses to Rochester are maddeningly slow.

  • She looks better with her hair down; she should wear it like that more often!

  • 'do you still love her?"

    "good god no!" haha. i love his reaction, his acting is superb!!!!

  • The 96 version was the nose and jaw, this version it's the lips. Why oh why do you torment me so. I keep getting distracted by her moustache and lips :< Haha. Thanks for putting it on though :)

  • this is kinda like beauty and the beast if you think about it except its switched a bit jane is the beauty on the inside and mr rochester is the beast on the inside :o

  • I'm clear sighted as well and I find you gorgeous Mr. Rochester!!

  • Comment removed

  • I love this part. The dreamy atmosphere created as Rochester talks about Celine, and the way Jane looks at him. Her ironic "No, sir" when he says that Jane doesn't know how to love. And then, later, when she sees him outside her bedroom window - the change of music and the look Jane gives herself in the mirror. Just beautiful.

    This version makes my heart soar like no other.

  • @supergran1000 Well said!

  • love the story nd movie but i think its definetly missing many arts dat make the story more understandable like in the book, but its still good , i hope i can do my book report out of this lol i rele d0nt want to read the book again , even th0 its rele good nd in a way i d0 want to re-read it . by the way any tips that would help me finish this book report are welcome._ (need like ideas or a short summary of jane's life)_

  • What is the song that they keep playing throughout the episode called?

  • @watusernameshudiuse Adele didn't grow up in England she was brought up in France and Rochester brought her to England a few months before Jane arrived at Thorn-field. He says this when he is telling Jane about his experience with Celine.

  • Rochester is an SOB. Just because Jane has never been in love, doesn't mean she doesn't feel.

    She feels lonely, and longs for love in the deepest, most hidden part of her heart.

  • Good God no :L :D

  • They failed to mention here that in the book, Rochester said that though he was jealous at first, all his feelings for Celine (incldg. respect) died when he saw what kind of man she had cheated him with.:D

  • @wengwangish I think they make that evident in the way he, very frankly and comically, says that he threw her out and shot him. Lol.

  • I like that this version shows Jane kissing Adele good night. At least someone loves the little girl!

  • I LOVE his voice

  • "Do you still love her?"

    "Who?"

    "Celine. I mean, Ms. Varens."

    "GOOD GOD NO! I threw her out of hotel room and shot him!"

  • Hilarious, when Rochester is tellng Jane she doesn't know about love, there is a sad sappy song in the background, as soon as Jane asks is he still in love with Celine, the music stops, it's like back to reality hahaha lol

  • " she claimed i was the father, but fairly elementary study of biology proved that impossible "

    bahahahaha :p luv it!! what quick and witty tongue Rochester has ! :)

  • I like how the candle is already burning when Jane is awakened by the noise at the door.

  • The part from 5:10 to 5:40 is my favourite from the whole adaptation. Wow, that girl can act.

  • it makes no sense that adele practically grew up in england but her main language is french

  • @watusernameshudiuse

    he said he let her raise in France until last year when he brought her to England. so...

  • @watusernameshudiuse you dare mock Charlotte Bronte?

  • @28whiteflower no not charlotte bronte, its this adaptation

  • He's a good storyteller (y)

  • where is the next part to this video???

  • @donnie8986 It is Episode 2, Part 1

  • she's prettier with her hair down... :)

  • omfg his look is so intense at 4:04!!!!!

  • As regards Adele's paternity: "...unluckily the Varens, six months before had given me ... Adele, who she affirmed was my daughter; and perhaps she may be, though I see no proofs of ... paternity written in her countenance ... Some years after I had broken with the mother, she abandoned her child and ran away to Italy ... I am not her father, but hearing that she was quite destitute I ... took the poor thing out of ... Paris and transplanted it here ..." The entire passage is in Ch15.

  • Jane is BA-RAVE walking around like that...

  • Impressed that this version accents his love of her just listening to him. Pre-Fuede(sp)! It was common for the young, rich men to do the "tour." It was a coming of age thing for English young men. Their fathers gave them money after graduating from college and they went to Europe and sowed their wild oats. Thought they were big men when in reality the actresses, etc. took advantage of them feeding their egos to get $. Being young R would have told his first love how much he was worth.

  • Do you guys think Adele really is Rochester's?

  • Comment removed

  • she is ugly and her mouth too

  • @iuliaana She wasn't suppose to be attractive.

  • The soundtrack is very powerful...

  • This version takes far too many liberties with the original text. Mr. Rochester's torment is quite clear in the book and in the 1983 adaptation. I don't need visual metaphors to understand what is going on, his words convey it sufficiently. In fact, Toby Stephens' telling of his "grand passion" with Celine Varens is quite milquetoast compared with the dialogue in the book, not to mention Timothy Dalton's version of the same story, which is filled with sarcasm & self-loathing, as it should be.

  • @ruairaidh Yes. I agree. One impressive thing about R is that he pretty much knows that Adale isn't his daughter but on the off chance she is, he takes her in and he takes a risk telling Jane that Adale is a bastard. Today that is a cussing word but at the time, even when I was a girl, that was the term for a child born out of marriage. Made it very difficult for the child to get ahead in life for anyone to know it. I don't agree that R deserves the self-loathing. He was lied to.

  • @Songsmirth I meant the telling should be filled with self-loathing and sarcasm because that is how the dialogue is written, not because he *ought* to feel those things. But one could argue that what happened with Celine Varens should not have surprised him.

  • @ruairaidh You're right. He was young and in love for the first time. Had he been older, he could have read women like that but he had no teacher. Certainly not his father. They really had to learn life's lessons for themselves didn't they? Thanks for the responce. :) Happy new year. :)

  • Pause at 3:22!! ah, the looks he gives her...

    *swoon*

  • There is no way u are going to catch me walking around in the dark with a candle. I'm no hero lol.

  • His line at 2:00 -- enter Blanche Ingram!

  • "Do you still love her sir?"

    "Good God no, I threw her out of the hotel room and I shot him." LOL

  • @EverlastingxHope

    he didnt do taht or did he?

  • @Kareena1988

    I think he really did, in the book.

  • I love it how Rochester confesses his past to Jane, opening his wounds in front of her patient listening eyes, and insistently asking for her approval about the way he treated Adele, showing her that her opinion matters very much to him, wanting her to behave like they are equal, desiring that she fully expresses herself and her personality beyond that relation master:governess.

  • Ha, ha Jane's face when he says: "She wasn't as clearsighted as you are, Jane, you find me unattractive despite my wealth", that small smile and sincere childish look that Ruth Wilson pulls off excellently are trying to say: "I take it back, I do think you're handsome."

    I believe that she falls for him after this conversation, you can see it when she watches him prowling around the garden and is very flushed and secretive while observing him. 

  • Celine leaves a 6 month old baby behind like extra baggage while she sleeps around all over europe

  • Comment removed

  • @ruairaidh yes but even in the book it is implied that she is not his daughter.

  • @ruairaidh Do you remember how R wound up with her? I did read the book but get all these movies mixed up with it. Need to read it again! I also get the various situations mixed up in her books. Sometimes they seem so alike. Impressive for a woman that never married. To create these worlds in her head not having been raised in high society, where did she get her information? Adele was very lucky he took her considering what people would have thought of him. It must have been a scandel.

  • Ruth Wilson and Tob Stephens make a really good Jane and Rochester.

  • Mr Rochester is what Damon Salvatore would look like if he would have aged....

  • @imsickandtired Damon Salvatore yummy <3

  • @imsickandtired hahah. thank you. those we're my exact thoughts the whole time <3 Ian Somerhalder in, idk how many years. Still hawt <3 :P

  • @imsickandtired omgg YES

  • @imsickandtired

    omg.... yes!!! lol

  • Comment removed

  • "good god no"

  • Lol "I threw her out and I shot him" Made me laugh loads.

  • love it when Mr. Rochester is telling the story and askes: "Are you still with me Jane?" and she says: "I'm here, Sir." and one can still see him in the flashback and he starts smiling ... though he is hearing Celine returning ... kind of an anticipation ... very subtle though

  • do you still love her?

    who?

    celine?

    GOOD GOD NO! xDD

    best movie line EVERRRR!!! C:

  • BRILLIANT!! Now...would i follow the creepy footsteps? Uhhh...maybe, if Mr. ROCHESTER was holding my hand! LOL XD

  • Who sleeps that early??

  • @sonokosuzuki well in europe in the summer it doesn't get dark until 10pm sometimes

  • omg it can lower ur stress levels and improve ur love life haha

  • charlotte bronte is a true genius.

  • I always did think Jane probably viewed herself as less pretty than she actually was :) This actress' voice is so silky and caramelly - gorgeous!

  • I wish I lived in a world where "ugly" men looked like Toby Stephens ;)

  • @iwishiwasalice

    If you did, imagine what the good lookers must be like! XD

  • @iwishiwasalice i totally agree:)

  • @iwishiwasalice considering that I think him to be very handsome, I wonder what a handsome man of that time would look like!!

  • @rbain007 I know! Hot guys for everyone! haha

  • omg i just love the music when they show the hotel room

  • what is this music playing in the background of mr rochesters flashback?

  • Thank God, Jane isn't like me. If I heard creepy laughing, I would go back into my room and lock the door lol.

  • @SummerGirl021 haha, if I heard creepy laughing I'd start cracking up.

  • Mr. Rochester: "Is there anything about me that remotely resembles Adele? Look at me carefully now."

    Way to make her look you in the eyes Rochester, you sly thing you!

  • this is some good shyt

  • I think i drooled a little on 1:58 when he's telling her that she doesn't know about Love. I felt like i was back in a romance novel... ::SIGHS::

  • You know, the woman who plays Jane looks a little like Liv Tyler.

  • love

  • those freckles are saying: My dark hair isn´t natural :) 4:12 XD

  • i thought the backgroung was going to be different

  • you know, i thought mr. rochester was supposed to be an ugly man. the actor they cast to play him is absolutely beautiful!!!

  • Am I the only one who thinks that finds him so extremely dreamy at around 3:24 when he asks Jane if there are any similarities between him and Adele??? He has that slight smile / smirk that makes him the sexiest man ever!

  • @Bluelily818 i TOTALLY agree!! 4:00-4:08.... those blue eyes *melts*

  • Sheesh Jane is brave. If I heard footsteps like that I would be cowering under the covers lol

  • I love the water moving behind them. It's very hypnotic and abrupt at the same time- kind of like Mr. Rochester.

  • @Gymnasticscrazy27 I agree, it would have been really nice to see that!

  • great music!!

  • So many people keep commenting on how Mr Rochester isn't suppose to be as handsome as Toby Stephens is. The fact is Toby Stephens in this fits the description of Mr. Rochester. You have to remember that the idea of what is "beautiful" changes quite a bit over the years. 400 years ago a curvaceous slightly heavy woman was considered the epitome of "beauty" now it's thin borderline eating disorder type women that are considered "beautiful". Tastes in men are also quite different now than then.

  • what a stupid dancer!! she rejected MR Rochester. And she picked a plain officer!!

  • @edwardmarryme Yes, the officer is plain. I prefer Mr. Rochester. He is so hot!!!!!!

  • he played his role very good

    she too

  • How brave can a person be?? I'd be frightened to dead just with the weird noises, I'd never get out of bed and open my door, not to talk about following some weird unknown footsteps along a dark and spooky corridor!! (and then, opening the door where they led.... NO FREAKING WAY!!!!)

  • Can someone plzzz tell me what's the name of da song played in the background from 0:12 - 1:20? It's also played through out the whole movie. Thanks :)

  • "Do you still love her, sir?"

    "Good GOD no!"

  • Comment removed

  • Love this version ... But would I follow footsteps on a dark and creepy castle... Uh NOPE...

    Brilliantly atmospheric and well acted... Fantastic Charlotte Bronte' with actors bringing her words to life... :0)x

  • @wenglishsal I was thinking exactly the same ;) I'm not so brave either! LOL

  • Mr Rochester can certainly sleep through a lot.
