  • some people really do not understand this novel like a see the comments!

  • she's not a convincing Cathy.

  • He's sooo creepy. :s

  • I need to read chapter 9 for school, but there is a problem. I'm from the netherlands and this book is quite difficult for me, so i thought for me to understand that chapter it is smart to watch een part of te movie, but does anyone know witch part of the film that is ?? PLEASE HELP ME

    Greets from the netherlands :D

  • For the most part I didn't like this version although I have it on dvd. I didn't care for Juliet Binoche's interpretation. There are parts of her performance that I really like but not enough to make this a favorite.

  • does anyone know the name of the tune that Catherine plays on the harpsichord?

  • can't stand Sinead O'Connors mawkish, maudlin voice

    they really should have gotten a better narrator

  • E: "Do you like poop?"

    H:*While looking at Catherine* "Yes."

    E: "HA! He said he liked poop!"

  • LOL how Isabel just leaves Heathcliff and Cathy alone. Can't she see the chemistry between them and try to stop Cathy for cheating her brother?

  • No way could she kiss him - and stay impartial: 'put our time to sleep'. I don't think so! RF is a sex god.

  • Cathy needs more passion! 3:45 was pathetic! (Ralph's awesome!)

  • heathcliff eyes are so beautiful

  • I don't understand how no one has mentioned the actress who plays Cathy's total failure at hiding her accent?? It is extremely off putting and makes her portrayal even more unbelievable. Cathy in the 2009 BBC version, although to nice is a much better Cathy and Tom Hardy as Heathcliff = Total win :)

  • The book was written in a time where women were obedient to men. But Cathy was very fierce and proud, and full of her love for Heathcliff. But Juliette Binoche does not fit her at all. I prefer the 2009 version, that Cathy is more similar than this one. She just giggles and hummles and is irritating aaaalll of the time.

  • @annwyn17 Heathcliff was never unattractive in the novel,except right before his death. In fact,at this point in the novel Nelly describes Heathcliff as handsome,athletic and even looking than Edgar Linton.

  • Cathy & her husband not helping Cathy's brother with his debts just shows how greedy & uncaring the rich are.

  • @darlinkula1 If you've ever read the book, you'd know that Hindley was quite cruel to Cathy, so I don't blame her.

  • Lots of people instantly put down the 2009 version of this with Tom Hardy. Personally it is my favorite. Sure, the book is not followed totally but it is genuine and heartfelt not to mention the acting is just amazing. Just because a movie dosent EXACTLY follow the book does not make it bad, in fact in the 2009 version it made it better.

  • @Wunglepire I like both versions. Saw the 2009 one first and enjoyed parts of it very much, especially the chemistry between Heath and Cathy (never a strong point with the WH movies). But, was TOTALLY taken aback by Ralph F's Heathcliff. He's very very dark but Heathcliff's anti-social behavior is correctly portrayed from the get-go. And it only gets worse after Cathy marries. His dead eyes, unflinching sadism and almost mechanical behavior are brilliant acting choices. This person is in pain.

  • Feels so bad for her husband.He knows what going on but cant really do anything.

  • i cannot live without my life. i cannot live without my soul. i cannot live without my Heathcliff

  • Well... the film is relly nice but this one doesnt rilly work... do u have another link so that i could watch it full....

    i'm studying the book but without the elements which are missing in this part because its bugging, i cant grasp the full meaning and confirm my theories upon it...

    Thank you in adv... Hope u can help me out!

    xoxo Fallen

  • Hannibal Lecter: Are you by any chance trying to trace my whereabouts, you naughty girl? Good evening, Clarice! Just like old times.

  • ok Heathcliff dosnt look like a gypsy and he is really handsome and sexy (in the book he isnt handsome)

    Edgar dosnt look like the handsome man described in the book he supposed to be really beautiful but this actor is ugly :\

    the characters doesn't look the same especially Edgar

    aghhhh totally disappointed!!!!!! thats why when i read a great book i don't like to watch a movie about the book cause i know it will be disappointing =(

  • Comment removed

  • I can't stand Cathy, heathcliff deserves better! "oh I'm sorry, I've spent almost all of my life with you and now that I have money, I can't see you anymore!" Slut.

  • @xXxXInspireMeXxXx she married Edgar so Heathcliff would be free from her brother

  • @CosetteSayla I guess that's what I get for not reading the book! lol

  • wow that's some kiss "goodbye"

  • Me fascina esta historia♥ sea en novela o pelicula... me recuerda la prepa Mina espero que disfrutes tanto esta historia como yo!!

  • ugghh fuckin cathy she married for money, whore, if i were heathcliffe i would have bounced too this story is frustrating

  • Isabella paid the price for her brother marrying Catherine.This is so intense and amazing story.

    I love this part where Heathcliff comes back to claim Catherine.

  • Heathcliff seems to be inhuman here: a dark knight, a messenger - he's like something surreal. He becomes devilish in his extreme cruality but becomes the more humane in his passionate love.

  • I can never blame Isabella for 'falling in love' with Heathcliff right there, him looking like THAT. I so would.

  • @StineTP

    I don't think any relationship could relate to Cathy and Heathcliff's. It's more than just on and off. They have loved each other forever and will always stay that way. They are one. They can't be separated. Not by marriage, and not by death. I'm sorry if you don't agree. This is only my opinion.

  • i can't watch this movie without crying...

  • haha that moment when the two guys hold hands is SOO awkward!

  • heathcliffe is kinda.......strange.....lol

  • i love this movie. and its like the relationship i have with my boyfriend. we are on and off, but we still come back to each other no matter what, and i know we will love each other long after one of us dies

  • Does anyone else think the building chosen to be Wuthering Heights is all wrong? Too grand, the wrong period and very unlike Top Withens, the farm which is believed to be the model for W.H.

  • Even though its not mentioned in the book, I think Heathcliff and Cathy did have sex and I dont believe that Edgar was Cathy's first.

  • Did Cathy loose virginity with Heathcliff?

  • @SoAnnieAreYouOk no,there wasn't a true kiss with heathcliff before her wedding with edgar

  • Did Cathy loose vitginity with Heathcliff?

  • i think Heathcliff is THE victim, yes he's Unforgivable, but yet we can't really judge him!! even Hareton didn't face all the crualty Heathcliff has passed through and he was savage and Indomitable, what if he had to faced torture, humiliation and hate as his master did!!

  • We have to understand that this is set in 1800s where loving someone mattered little, especially if it is a poor man. Even in our times, people mary for money so we cannot judge them... sometimes its the only way to survive

  • I will never understand the love of Cathy and Heathcliff and why people think their love is beautiful. All i see are despicable characters in an unhealthy relationship that ends up not only destroying them but those around them too. I also don't get why Catherine and Heathcliff's love is "doomed". No one is preventing them from being together except themselves. Yet they blame this on everyone else.

  • @s2LaDolceVita Heathcliff doesn't blame others for being the DIRECT reason of his lost love, but as an indirect ones! the society, the pitiless Hindley who almost determinated his character, by torturing and comdamning him to be a subalterne by forbidding him to learn, then Catherine who prefered a Situation in society in stead of her big love, her soulmate (as she said i'm heathcliff) combined to her death and the suffering it caused him! and Mr Lincon who always despised him and stole Catherin

  • he's kinda real hot.

  • Comment removed

  • If she's going on a "handsome" basis, like she said before, why is she going for Linton? Heathcliff is way better looking.

  • @countrypanda94 I agree, but Cathy is not only going on a handsome basis, she also chose Linton because he's rich, and like she said before , marrying Heathcliff would have make her look bad. Which in my opinon was stupid, if she loved him, then nothing should have stopped her. But Cathy is selfish.

  • @countrypanda94 Have you read the book? According to it, Linton is handsome whereas Heathcliff is not!!

  • @countrypanda94 Absolutelyyyyyyy!

  • @countrypanda94 She doesn't want to marry an uneducated and uncivilized person with no manners.

  • I have watched quite a few different versions of this story,and is still yet to find a suitable cathy.i saw somewhere there will be another reamke in 2011.hopefully the can actually find someone well suited for the role

  • @loveromeoful maybe you could watch "Cime Tempestose", is the italian version of Wuthering Heights. I think that Catherine is a good one =).

  • none of this makes any since.

  • @sunshine83193 o really? lol

  • 'you look very fit.' hahahahah undertones.

  • i can just imagine this being the story before harry potter; voldemort being intensely in love with a woman who he can never be with and feeling terribly bitter about it that he has never gotten over it thus the reason for his hatred against the world...

    of course that would never happen but it would've made it so much more interesting if it were the case...

  • @lillmango yes it would make a lot more sense that way! instead of the real story in which he just wanted power because he was evil and bitter at his father (thats how it was right?)

  • @lillmango that is the case for one of the characters, just not voldemort.

  • honestly if i were Cathy i would have trouble deciding between Linton and Heathcliff. even though Heathcliff's passion is irresistible you have to empathize with Cathys surroundings. her house was dismal and gloomy and people in it were extremely temperamental. living at the Grange would have been a vast improvement and would probably (if she wasn't so much in love with Heathcliff) have lifted her spirits.

  • voldemort!

  • Heathcliff seems to be so in love that he seems to be loving cathy beyond herself. It's quite difficult to depict this kind of love which Heathcliff and Cathy shared. Like tracy said, it's a love of selfish people. The love Heathcliff has for her, makes him destructive but i'd rather think that it's his nature and not his love for her that compels him to be like this...

  • He's good for this role, but she is so aloof looking all the time, I just don't find her Cathy moving.

  • I love Fines in this version, but Binoche is just too colourless

  • класс

  • Help me out here, I can't remember, do they (Cathy & Heathcliff) kiss or do anything physical with each other in the book? :o 'Cause I seem to recall that's one of the things that made it so tragic, they never expressed their love in any other ways than with words. But I could be wrong. ^^

  • @Panthinoe

    yeah, i dont remember them doing anything which is why i was surprised that in the movie, they're so intimate so early on

  • @Panthinoe In Chapter 15, Heathcliff "bestowed more kisses than ever he gave in his life" to Cathy (when she's on her deathbed). Other than that, I can't think of anything.

  • @Panthinoe

    i think they hug and kiss just when cathy's gonna die...

  • i LOVE how uncomfortable Cathy's husband is. Oh my god, haha.

  • all too well that Cathy has gone like that... what happened to the story of the book?

  • Ce n' est pas possible de retranscrire ce chef-d'oeuvre au cinéma! Malgré toute la bonne volonté des réalisateurs succesifs; et binoche n'est pas du tout faite pour le rôle! Elle est très loin de la "folie "et de la sensualité de Catherine!

  • WHY CATHERINE IS NOT WILD HERE???????? SHE IS VERY WILD IN THE BOOK AS IF SHE COULD SPIT ON HEATHCLIFF! i read the book for just half a day, the whole book!

  • This is definitely one of those novels that needs like a 3-part six hour mini-series to really do it justice. Two hours is just so hard to get in the full epic scale of the novel.

  • they say 2 years not three:O:L

  • They totally skip the part where Cathy is sick, because Heathclif left.

  • RALPH ROCKS AS HEATHCLIFF

  • yeah! in the book cathy's WAY more psycho! shes selfish and outta control! this movies just cute, where the book is passionate.

  • i hate Catherine in the book, she is so selfish

  • @Rainbow4evaGirl

    Thank you! I agree. She's a b*tch! She just wants everything her way.

  • I guess I need to read the book. I am just swept off my feet by RALPH!

  • yeah! the book is amazing!

  • shes not wild enough

  • well said HannahAndKristiin....what a big mistake in the movie!!

  • cathy was not this bitchy in the book

  • Cathy was horrible to Isabella in the book. I think her character is supposed to be flawed in that way, with her wild temper.

  • I love the scene when he comes back...wow!!!!!!!!

  • Because Juliette Binoche, who plays Cathy, is French.

  • why does cathy have a french accent?

  • she is a candian french speaking :)

  • i'm not loving this cathy..anyone else?

  • @ukgirlonce here here lol

  • yes ..but we would all be so if we had received such treatment...like kicking a dog over and over every day and then being shocked when it bites..dont you think?

  • She can't say "I cannot live without my life, I cannot live wothout my soul"! Heathcliff says that after Chatherine dies

    - Chaterine Ernshaw. may you not rest as long as I am living. You said I killed you; Haunt me then! the murdered do haunt their killers, I belive. Ghost have wandred on earth, I know. Haunt me than- take any form- drive me mad! but do not leave me here in abuss, where I cannot find you. Oh,God! this is unuttereble! I cannot live without my life.I cannot live without me soul!

  • I cannot help but notice how Catherine tries to unite Heathcliff and Linton's hands together around 4:28. What she tries to unite in this moment will in the end destroy all three of them.

  • heathcliff reminds me of kazuya mishima from the tekken franchise...similar childhood

  • I think this Linton is far more too arrogant which makes him a little more rude...than the one in the book...I dunno..that's just my opinion...

  • i dont think this cathy is better than the otters

  • 7.31: 'Go away'. Oh, my god, Cathy is a bitch! At least in this version she comes across as more selfish than in the other ones. Heathcliff is so scary, oh my God. Really as scary as in the original.

  • Ralph Fiennes looks so intense and passionate in this movie, and yet he looks cruel and cold at the same time. Brilliant acting

  • YOU ARE RIGHTTTT

  • That face Heathcliff keeps making keeps reminding me of Zoolander. I dont really know why but it does.

  • I love that book....it is SO fantastic, so brilliant, so immortal!

    No film production comes up to such a literary masterpiece! NO ONE!

    The movie is nice if one omits to compare it to the book!

  • Man, Edgar looks so ugly compared to Heathcliff's raw, savage beauty!

  • wuthering heights is about two selfish individuals who were blinded by their own foolish desires for eachother

  • this movie is mad gay comapared to the book

  • I've recently read this book and it did make a deep impression on me.i was shoked but i didn't like it very much.i couldn't find a kind charachter in this book to hold on,everything is so sad and cruel and wicked

  • I feel the same!

    When I read the book I really tried to feel affection for Heathcliff and understand him, but I just couldn't. I don't know, I supposed I just didn't like the kind of love between Catherine and Heathcliff. I always was on Linton's side; I believe he was very patient with Cathy.

  • A love story of selfish people. Quite unique

  • This is why masterpieces like Wuthering will never quite appeal to your average romantic, who wants to surround herself with cheery lovely level people and notions, happy endings and star-crossed crushes.

    If you read it expecting to 'feel affection' for people-it's no wonder it unsettled you. Why? It pricks your lovely bubble. You can't understand or sympathize with their love, because you expect things to be within your reasonable bubble. You're a little of a flatlander and that works for you.

  • But writing away this kind of destructive maelstrom of love is writing away the essence of life, the cold unfeeling core of it - some of the most amazing emotions and forces in life are also deadly and can ruin what they touch as much as they cause it to flourish. The selfish, demanding, all-encompassing love that more complex people experience is a horrid thing, but also a searingly vivid thing that, ultimately, none would want to miss. And missing out you are - as Emily Bronte would tell you.

  • Catherine Linton is an upright and warm-hearted young lady. And Mrs. Dean is very friendly! And Hareton is a rough diamond!

    But I agree, it is very sad! Much sadness, much tears, death and hatred!

    But Balzác said once: Hatred is the second face of passion!!

    Think about it! :-)

    Nice greets from Germany!

  • did you read the book ?

  • Of course I did.

  • Comment removed

  • rock that harpsicord

  • the marriage thing is understandable in this time when marriage was like a career, the only way women had to survive was marriage and their quality of life depended only on it, so its normal she didn't want to marry Heathcliff.

  • Hate to break it to you...TONS of women still marry men ONLY for their money..it's not a situational thing..it's an opportunistic two faced slut thing

  • NO

    my childhood love is poor

    and i will wait for him and marry him

  • Um if you have no problem with him being poor, why not just marry him. What you waiting for? Yeah....that's what I thought

  • he is want that , not me

  • i wish they could just be together T_T

  • Ks4173, actually, those lines sound like they're being said by Emily Bronte. Since she's narrating (and has written the book), those lines can still be applied to Heathcliff, although they apply just as much to Catherine as they do to Heathcliff. With Bronte saying them, and that shot of Catherine while they're being said, maybe the director wanted to convey the fact that whoever says them can be interchangable. With Bronte saying them, she's actually saying it for both characters. I think :)

  • I would really like the movie if I hasnt read the book........, but Catherine is not pretty enough IDK & she's suposed to be screaming all the time & laughing like crazy (though it was like i thought she was)

  • no no NO!!!

    'I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!'

    this is said by Heathcliff not Cathy!!

    maaaan this film is annoying me

    its all wrong

    :(

  • and it is said while cathy is dying not when she moves

  • I love how he looks at Cathy.. During the scene when he comes home. Right in front of the others.. He keeps his eyes on her.. I WISH someone would look at me like that always ~Smiles~

  • Fiennes IS PERFECT..GREAT..!!!!!!!!

    and Binoche is good..just fine..i like her...!

    but not as heathcliff

  • Ralph Fiennes is amazing in this movie. I cannot stand Juliette Binoche as Catherine.

  • i just can't stand catherine

  • Generally, yes. But Binoche just makes it infinitely worse to stomach her.

  • true true

  • Comment removed

  • ugh she says two year...

    it was three.

  • TRUE,

    i hate how they dont stick to the book when they perfectly easily could.

  • lol i love how edgar was saying how heathcliff was just a runaway servant and then heathcliff appears looking all spiffy :) haha the look on his face was priceless :D

  • I think some people are trying to distinguish good and evil when it comes to Heathcliffe and Catherine. There is no good or evil, just mutual and self destructing human nature.

  • Why does Cathy smile when Heathcliff says he suffered for her? That's a little weird.

  • is this even any gud?

  • when i read the book i found it really hard not to find Cathrine totaly annoying.

    she is way too emotional and childish.

    why would anyone want to marry an overe-emotional, spoiled brat???

  • That's exactly what i was thinking. She's so stuck up.

  • i liked this version until heathcliff came back, i just thought cathy would be upset, rather than really happy...

  • idiocy for the last part to be in turkish for god sake. this movie sucked. no substance, no feeling. blahhhhhh

  • That Linton is terrible. He should be more delicate, weak, fragile.

  • Cathy is insane!!!

  • At 1:16 isn't it the same house from Pride and Prejudice?

  • I thought that too! Do u mean Pemberley in the 2005 version? They do look similar, although I'm not sure.

  • that was a sad, dry kiss...it had no passion what so ever

  • the worst part of this movie is sinead o connor's mawkish narration - stick to music sinead!

  • omg cathy i sooo mean to Isabella!

    wot a bitch!

  • hehe - Isabella the third wheel - uncomfortable

  • Does the movie follow the book directly or is it a lot different from the book?

  • Their are some important differences but as film adaptations go it is faithfull enough.

  • But it almost doesn't matter considering how spot on Ralph Fienes is as Heathcliff.
