Gosh, so much drama...Cathy could have just ran away with Heathcliff the moment he comes back and tells her he loved her. And no more drama. And why does she die....so weak. I am actually a great fan of Eyre. Someone recommended me Wuthering Heights and told me it is a similar story but I must say Cathy is such a weak character...

Cathy is the richest woman in the county, yet illness doesn't care if you are rich. Illness levels the playing field among the rich & poor. Republicans want to get rid of Medicare and if they succeed there will be countless suffering elderly people. Republicans also want to get rid of Social Security, if they succeed expect to see the number of homeless people skyrocket.
@judewishedhimselfout I must have hit a nerve because you are a Republican women whose political party does everything in their power to keep women down. American women make 70 cents for each dollar a man makes. Stop being brainwashed and wake up to how you are just a tool for corporate greed. P.S. Enjoy the movie I'm sure that you will easily relate to Heathcliff's tyranny & greed...you are now dismissed!
@darlinkula1 You are a walking cliche. I am not a Republican not that it's any of your business. (and by the way I don't know if you know this but we now have a Democrat in the white house so what's he doing about these women's issues you are so concerned about?) And yes I did enjoy this movie, that's why I commented on your stupid post. This is about a movie not politics. If you think these characters are so harmful and stereotypical why bother watching it at all? Grow up you silly child.
@judewishedhimselfout I guess I was a little crabby because I had just came home from having my 10th abortion. Abortion as my contraceptive method of choice. When I go to sleep at night I thank God for Roe vs. Wade !
@lianoula1greece Yes, but for me personally, if any man handsome or ugly would have told me that, I would run like the wind! Although it would be a lost cause since I myself am not a rich woman.
Catherine chose security over passion and love.She paid the price as did Heathcliff who worshipped her.as did Isabella who did not listen to Catherinne.This is the best story EVER!
Catherine also knows Heathcliff so well.Called him Wolfish ruthless pitiless man.
We hate Cathy because she has done what we'd have done in real life too. She was weak or strong(depending on your perspective) in choosing security over love but in doing so, she becomes the more humane.
I never understood why Isabella married Heathcliff. Sure he's kinda hot, but he tells her that he is only after her fortune and a villain and cathy tells her, too
what makes of Heathcliff such a fascinating person, is his constancy!! in everything he does or feels!! he remains faithful to himself in love, hate, revenge etc till his death!!! while most of our feelings are almost in continual fluctuations!! he represents the Ideal of "deep constant feelings"
@leniboda yes he was supposed to have a certain mysterious obscur charm, but he couldn't really seduce people with his rude and savage behavious and character!! if he was a "good" person he would have been seen as quite seducing person
ahhahah edgar is such a wuss and idiot. just like raoul and all the other wimps
feel so bad for that girl--what's her name--who has a crush on heathcliff. he's so evil and deliciously wicked, but i still love him for his ability to love passionately and beautifully
The problem is Cathy & Heathcliff are already "married" & united against everyone around them ~ like a disease infecting everything they touch. They should be thrown together & everyone else get on w/ their lives. The "Wuthering Heights couple & their kids" would become "those" neighbors noone likes or mixes with.
this dissapoints me! I see no passion, no intensity, no real drama. Just a plain weird story and nothing reminds me of the greatness I felt when I read the book. :(
It's heartbreaking in the book when Cathy says the whole bit about wanting to be a girl again and especially "Why am I so changed?", it's something many can relate to, you never know what will come your way and change you.
Oh and I imagined Nelly to be much... bigger. Like, not overweight but bigger. Not sure why.
I'm British and no its not, and to say an accent is British is confusing because that could mean Scottish, Irish, Welsh, Southern or Northern speak. Besides I thought their accents should be northern seeing that its supposed to be in Yorkshire. =)
Oh, so that's where the 2009-version got the thing with the fire-poker! Only in 2009 it was a lot less subdued, more spectacular. This though was maybe a little more traditional, although a Byronic Hero is violent. Fiennes is so good!
Oh, this movie is way better than the 98 version. But there are a few things that mattered to me- that till now Cathy was all angelic and saint and finally now she showed her evil nature. In the book it was said just she is so selfish and mischievous from the beginning! The other thing are Edgar and Isabella. Isabella should be more pretty and not so "invisible" and Edgar too, he is so ugly this time!
i think Ralph F & J Binoche are miscast - they're too refined in the eyes... no wildness of nature nor brutal earthiness. They're hateful characters, but so charismatic - A. Bronte was quite a genius to produce such a compelling story out of not nice characters
good god... i hate the two characters (cathy and heathcliff)... they hurt themselves and the people around them... this is one unhappy selfish kindda love... hate it :(
Some people are just like that maybe it is from severe pain that they have suffered that stuck them to the core. So one day they fall in love feel something real and that activates all those feelings at once. They tend to be passionate possessive obsessive types who also happen to have charismatic animalsitic vibes and are impossible to resist. It isn't even a choice. I like it because they are being who they really are. Their love is demanding and merciless even to them. Note their suffering.
music at the end isbeautiful. although i dont think either cathy or heathcliff are particularly likeable or nice but they have such a strong presence. It is an amazing story
This Catherine is not a good BITCH she's suposed 2 be really really Bitch & badd & crazy & beautiful though!..... I never pictured any of them like that Bad bad bad!
Linton sits in his library 'among books that he never opened'- later he reproaches Nelly for not giving him'one hint of how she has been' - they made an important misrepresentation here.
Linton feels more for Catherine than Nelly ever does
When Heathcliff was walking over to the door I was thinking to myself "uh..dude the door's locked..." and then he just breaks it off and I was like "...oh! Well that works!"
And I got confused reading the book too about Ellen and Nelly. It only took me like 5 chapters to figure it out! XP
I love that part! It's so funny how Edgar is all wimpy and whiney about how Cathy needs to give him the key to open the door, and then Heathcliff just SMASHES it open... Heathcliff didn't NEED a key!!! LOL :D
can someone PLEASE explain to me the whole plot and resolution and all that stuff. I am miserably confused. :( I really wanna understand this since everyones saying " This is soo good!!"
heathcliff is kind of a stray boy who cathy's father picks up on his way to wuthering heights.cathy's brother illtreats heathcliff always which reaches its peak after his father dies.cathy and heathcliff are in love with each other which is more like spiritual luv.because of cathy's comment tht marrying heathcliff would degrade her(which is overheard by heathcliff),heathcliff runs away from wuthering heights.meanwhile cathy marries edgar linton in whose house she had earlier spent 3 months.
(when the dog had bitten her leg when he and heathcliff sneaked into the linton's place)heathcliff returns 2yrs later wen cathy is preg.he buys WH from hindly(cathy's bro)who had mortagaed it to pay his gambling debts(hindley is a broken man after his wife dies during delivery).heathcliff shows false affections to isabella(edgar's sister)to exact his venegance from edgar and in a way cathy too.
heathcliff's return rekindles cathy's past and the fierce love which she had for heathcliff which never really died.heathcliff and cathy's love,their mutual fierce nature bound by heathcliff's revenge outleashes the most painful journey for themsleves and all those who were related to them.
girls are stupid for heathcliff bad boy asshole types. heathcliff and cathy are under a spell almost that resembles love but more like sickness. love/hate and romantic/sexual obsession isn't really love and will always leave you empty and sometimes maybe dead. but you girls love that fucked-up melodrama in relationships.
Heathcliff really wasn't a "bad boy" until he lost the one woman he had ever felt a connection with...I think what women love is the fact that Heathcliff could never forget Cathy, and that no one could ever replace her.
We all want to have a man that thinks we're that special!
still when i hear people describe heathcliff as evil i feel sad. he is not perfect and does ridiculously manipulative things to upset others, but would this have happened were it not for cathy's selfish and spoiled nature right from the start?! feel free to debate this point ...
fantastic love story however and i love the films pure dark humanity.
i agree, and thats exactly what you talk about if you study the book in class. its a tragedy, so it wasnt just one or the other, but both of their tragic flaws and decisions.
It's kind of sad that Cathy doesn't have much of a temper. She was supposed to be angry and stubborn toward Isabella when they talk about Heathcliff. :-/
Isn't the actor who plays Edgar the same actor who plays Tilly Trotter's love in that film.....er..."Tilly Trotter"...the guy with the coalmine who eventually loses his legs in an accident where the mine caves in?
of course Cathy was pregant... some time after the little Cathy Linton (Cathy and Edgar's daughter) borned. In the same day Cathy pass away. I just read the book too. Did not you understand the book?
i did understand the book. im just saying that i didn't realize that catherine was pregnant till she gave birth to cathy 2 months early becasue they never mentioned it before that
You're right. They don't mention it in the book until little Cathy Linton is born. God it annoys me so much that Catherine doesnt' have a temper. She was stubborn and hot tempered.
But Heathcliff is certainly appealing: "I'm a villan, I'm only after your fortune"...what a line.
Healthcliff can be my villian anytime - who needs allies. These women are ninnies! As soon as the director shouted, "cut", I would have been waiting for Mr. Fiennes in his dressing room. Who in their right mind would allow this man to become a granny chaser? Answer me?!?!?
Well his mother died and sounds like he loved Francesca Annis and was very attached to her. He left his long time girlfriend for her it was his choice. Nothing wrong with that. But I've always been hopelessly in love with Ralph Fiennes.
When Cathy and Isabella are talking about Heathcliff, and Isabella says that she loves Heathcliff, she thinks Cathy is the only thing in the way of that. I don't like how Cathy thinks she can have two people at the same time, and won't let anyone have either. If I was Isabella, I would do exactly as she did in the bo0ok, and run away with Heatcliff.
youre saying it cuz you probably didnt read the book. in the movie heathcliff is much softer that the real character. in the book he's a real evil, nothing for a girly isabella. cathy knew he would have killed her later with his hatred.
Yes: Heathcliff is her soulmate, not just a friend. She was fine with Edgar until Heathcliff came back. That's where the marriage with Edgar effectively ended.
am i the only one who's completely unimpressed with the movie? i just read the book for the first time and absolutely adored it, so i figured i'd see how the movie was. i'm not liking it at all so far and i'm doubting it will get any better - i find it nothing like the book, and the characters are totally inaccurate. just another one of those stories that can't be transfered over into a (decent) movie.
I find it the opposite, actually. The book was amazing, as in the storyline was, but I couldn't adore the characters as I do in the movie. In the book they don't really love each other at all. They need each other, really. In the movie, I can see they really are in love, rather than just possessive
What!? Sorry, but you totally misunderstood the book. Cathy and Heathcliff are madly, irrevocably in love, to the point where they are practicallly the same person! She is selfish and he is cruel, but their love still transcends the boundries of authority, conventional morality, and even death!
It's more about possessiveness, really. They say they love each other, but it srt of depends on your opinion of their relationship. They require each other more than anything, without Cathy Heathcliff almost has withdrawal symptoms more than anything
My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath--a source of little visible delight, but necessary. Nelly, I am Heathcliff! He's always, always in my mind--not as a pleasure, any more than I am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being"
None of these people can pass for adolescents or even young adults: one problem. Ralph Fiennes is good in his role; but Juliette Binoche struggles with the part of Catherine Earnshaw.
I love how nerdy they made Edgar. The way he sheepishly pulls on his jacket after hitting Heathcliff and how awkwardly he was sitting in the last section while Cathy was playing the harpsichord.

Cathy is so awful to Heathcliff. But at least she is being honest.

"Nelly" is Ellen Dean's nickname. Ellen Dean is the main servant character :) I got confused when I read the book. I thought they were twins XD

heathcliff is kind of a stray boy who cathy's father picks up on his way to wuthering heights.cathy's brother illtreats heathcliff always which reaches its peak after his father dies.cathy and heathcliff are in love with each other which is more like spiritual luv.because of cathy's comment tht marrying heathcliff would degrade her(which is overheard by heathcliff),heathcliff runs away from wuthering heights.meanwhile cathy marries edgar linton in whose house she had earlier spent 3 months.

(when the dog had bitten her leg when he and heathcliff sneaked into the linton's place)heathcliff returns 2yrs later wen cathy is preg.he buys WH from hindly(cathy's bro)who had mortagaed it to pay his gambling debts(hindley is a broken man after his wife dies during delivery).heathcliff shows false affections to isabella(edgar's sister)to exact his venegance from edgar and in a way cathy too.

heathcliff's return rekindles cathy's past and the fierce love which she had for heathcliff which never really died.heathcliff and cathy's love,their mutual fierce nature bound by heathcliff's revenge outleashes the most painful journey for themsleves and all those who were related to them.
hope u understood something!!

girls are stupid for heathcliff bad boy asshole types. heathcliff and cathy are under a spell almost that resembles love but more like sickness. love/hate and romantic/sexual obsession isn't really love and will always leave you empty and sometimes maybe dead. but you girls love that fucked-up melodrama in relationships.

Heathcliff really wasn't a "bad boy" until he lost the one woman he had ever felt a connection with...I think what women love is the fact that Heathcliff could never forget Cathy, and that no one could ever replace her.
We all want to have a man that thinks we're that special!

i love this film.
still when i hear people describe heathcliff as evil i feel sad. he is not perfect and does ridiculously manipulative things to upset others, but would this have happened were it not for cathy's selfish and spoiled nature right from the start?! feel free to debate this point ...
fantastic love story however and i love the films pure dark humanity.
roxyqueen2 3 years ago 3
i agree, and thats exactly what you talk about if you study the book in class. its a tragedy, so it wasnt just one or the other, but both of their tragic flaws and decisions.

It's kind of sad that Cathy doesn't have much of a temper. She was supposed to be angry and stubborn toward Isabella when they talk about Heathcliff. :-/
BelovedCaptain 3 years ago 2
I guess we have to think of these Brontes, parson's daughters, as having some of Heathcliff's resentment of the gentry.

Isn't the actor who plays Edgar the same actor who plays Tilly Trotter's love in that film.....er..."Tilly Trotter"...the guy with the coalmine who eventually loses his legs in an accident where the mine caves in?

of course Cathy was pregant... some time after the little Cathy Linton (Cathy and Edgar's daughter) borned. In the same day Cathy pass away. I just read the book too. Did not you understand the book?

i did understand the book. im just saying that i didn't realize that catherine was pregnant till she gave birth to cathy 2 months early becasue they never mentioned it before that
grade9man 3 years ago
You're right. They don't mention it in the book until little Cathy Linton is born. God it annoys me so much that Catherine doesnt' have a temper. She was stubborn and hot tempered.
But Heathcliff is certainly appealing: "I'm a villan, I'm only after your fortune"...what a line.

Healthcliff can be my villian anytime - who needs allies. These women are ninnies! As soon as the director shouted, "cut", I would have been waiting for Mr. Fiennes in his dressing room. Who in their right mind would allow this man to become a granny chaser? Answer me?!?!?

Well his mother died and sounds like he loved Francesca Annis and was very attached to her. He left his long time girlfriend for her it was his choice. Nothing wrong with that. But I've always been hopelessly in love with Ralph Fiennes.

When Cathy and Isabella are talking about Heathcliff, and Isabella says that she loves Heathcliff, she thinks Cathy is the only thing in the way of that. I don't like how Cathy thinks she can have two people at the same time, and won't let anyone have either. If I was Isabella, I would do exactly as she did in the bo0ok, and run away with Heatcliff.

youre saying it cuz you probably didnt read the book. in the movie heathcliff is much softer that the real character. in the book he's a real evil, nothing for a girly isabella. cathy knew he would have killed her later with his hatred.

Yes: Heathcliff is her soulmate, not just a friend. She was fine with Edgar until Heathcliff came back. That's where the marriage with Edgar effectively ended.

am i the only one who's completely unimpressed with the movie? i just read the book for the first time and absolutely adored it, so i figured i'd see how the movie was. i'm not liking it at all so far and i'm doubting it will get any better - i find it nothing like the book, and the characters are totally inaccurate. just another one of those stories that can't be transfered over into a (decent) movie.

I find it the opposite, actually. The book was amazing, as in the storyline was, but I couldn't adore the characters as I do in the movie. In the book they don't really love each other at all. They need each other, really. In the movie, I can see they really are in love, rather than just possessive
MrsLovett112 3 years ago
What!? Sorry, but you totally misunderstood the book. Cathy and Heathcliff are madly, irrevocably in love, to the point where they are practicallly the same person! She is selfish and he is cruel, but their love still transcends the boundries of authority, conventional morality, and even death!
pruplesock 3 years ago 5
It's more about possessiveness, really. They say they love each other, but it srt of depends on your opinion of their relationship. They require each other more than anything, without Cathy Heathcliff almost has withdrawal symptoms more than anything
MrsLovett112 3 years ago 3
Perfect description. Love like that does not come along everyday, and for most people, not even once in a lifetime.

My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath--a source of little visible delight, but necessary. Nelly, I am Heathcliff! He's always, always in my mind--not as a pleasure, any more than I am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being"

None of these people can pass for adolescents or even young adults: one problem. Ralph Fiennes is good in his role; but Juliette Binoche struggles with the part of Catherine Earnshaw.

"Heathcliff, if I dared now, would you venture?"
And then I go from tearing up to sobbing. And don't stop for the entire duration of the film.
