What does race have to do with this story? For Pete sake, I am so sick of the race card playing in every stinking thing. And the white hatred is starting to get stupid too. You think hating whites is any better than what you say they do? Get over it. If everyone would look at each other as people and not races it would be a better world! Ah forget it, what's the use. It will never change. People just want to hate. They love it. Just like Heathcliff.
Only book I ever read when I still felt sympathy and sorrow for such an evil character. That takes great writing skill. Love covers a multitude of sins. Still like the Olivier version best. Of course, the book is infinitely better than any film or play.
@mvies77 I also prefer the Oberon-Olivier version, even though it only loosely follows the novel. But the photography and acting is so incredible, and it has such a nostalgic feeling about it.
17 ppl voted..moral of story=donot adopt gypsy kids..........this is the character of white societies. a fantasize story by white girl of 18th century had to fit gypsy as devil character......its actualy heathcliff ' the victim' you reptile readers...but anyways i have a appropriate youtube comment for ppl like you....GO DIE IN MY FREAKIN SHITHOLE!
You right NTO65 but you missed the beginning when they treat Heathcliff like a dog despite him and the Linton brothers tolerate is about social class and Heatcliff is how it is cause his brother treat him like a dog after of his father dead.Too much rencor yes by finally he made justice and make triumph the love the daughter of the Linton fall in love with Heathcliff's brother who is treat like Heatcliff like a dog Hareton.It's beatiful dramativ story of love.
I'm not to sure if this is just me, but even though Catherine and Heathcliff were meant to be together I liked Edger Linton better for the first Catherine because even though he was a wussy I still think he proved his love better. I personally do not like Heathcliff. and I think the insist in the book and movie is disgusting but I'm glad the 2nd Catherine does find happiness. =D just don't hate on me for this, I mainly hate Heathcliff because of how he treated Issabella. just my opinion
Why wasn't Sophie Ward (the girl at the end) given the role of Kathy? She would have been TONS better. The ghost bit was aweful and it seemed to loose all its energy when RF stopped getting screen time. All in all 4/10 for the production 9/10 for RF. With a good old English: woof woof!
I watched the 2009 version first, which is probably why I don't like some of the differences in this version. I don't think the love between Cathy and Heathcliff is portrayed strong enough in this film. I think the music is very cheesy too and slightly ruins some very good scenes. All in all it was quite good though.
@Trochaic42 Also, to be considered a second class citizen, it implies that you have no right to vote and are not granted the rights of citizenship. I would like to see you argue that you have no right to vote, and that you are not considered a US citizen just because you are female.
@Trochaic42 Also, I figured I would do some actual research since last I posted. First of all, as of 2010 women entering the workforce make 121% more than men. Besides that, there are scholarships available just for being a woman, there is no such scholarship just for being a man. On top of that, at the end of a marriage men have to pay matrimony, child support, and women can take 100% of his material possessions even if the man did nothing wrong. So point blank, you are wrong.
@Trochaic42 And sadly, you are wrong about "nobody choosing to be second class. There are plenty of people, usually women, who choose to marry into a relationship where they will be used and beaten (and knowing this when they step into such a relationship). Why? I have no idea... but it is sad but true. And there are many people who treat themselves as second or third class for hundreds of other psychological reasons. I just cannot believe how ignorant you are!
@Trochaic42 Do you have any idea what a different social class entails? If you did, you would also realize that second class citizens would not have affirmative action policies, you would also not have the same rights on paper. As I said, I know there is in-equality, there never will be... that is an impossible goal. However, my statement still holds true... Women today in America theoretically (per government, on paper, constitutionally) are equal. So there is no different social status.
@darlinkula1 I never said everything is equal, nothing can or will ever be equal, however women are not held as a separate class. If you do not know how to define a social class, then do not show your ignorance by making such uneducated statements. No American woman today is second class unless she chooses to be. On the books, you have the exact same rights as men (and then some). As a matter of fact, when a marriage goes south women today have more claims to material wealth then men.
@avalonspawn You would have to be living in a box if you honestly think women are not held as a separate class, the same goes with race. No matter how hard people try there is never equality. That is why we have affirmative action policies in place.
@avalonspawn As for your statement "No american women today is second class unless she chooses to be" is a load of shit. You completely ignore the fact that social class has a lot to do with society as a whole. Nobody would choose to 'be second class', as you so eloquently put it, nor would anyone choose to be third class.
@darlinkula1 I don't know what current America that you are living in, but your statement about women today being second class citizens is far from true. There are plenty of women who are more powerful than most men such as Oprah, Hillary, Beyonce , Lady Gaga, Madonna, Irene Rosenfeld, Indra Nooyi, Gail Kelly, Ellen DeGeneres, Nancy Pelosi, Angela Braly, Janet Napolitano, Sheila Bair, Arianna Huffington, and hundreds more. Just because you are second class doesn't mean all American women are.
@avalonspawn I was not writing about the richest women in America because money is power. I was referring to everyday working American women who het paid 70 cents for each dollar a man makes. You must be living in an elitist bubble if you think American men and women are equal. WAKE UP !
Thanks for posting this entire movie, too many times parts of movies are missing on YouTube. This really is a tale of elitism and masochism. In the 1939 version Cathy's home looks impoverished even though they are wealthy land owners, the fact that this version shows a better home helps the story line. This film shows that women and the working class are second class citizens and are still today in America. The soundtrack really set the mood for this fantastic movie!
It so sad that he would rather to have lost out on loving anyone because of a love he lost. really sad how a man can go through life not loving anyone and anything. The only part of this movie that really disturb me was the ending of the young Catherine seem to fall for her cousin knowingly (gross) . its not like Heathcliff and Cathy they weren't really related. oh well . love love love this movie ( so moving)
I've heard that this story is suppose to be epic, and other than Ralf Fiennes, it's a rather dull and confusing movie....and I can always follow movie plots very well!
It was a dud to me. Really sad, considering Ralf was brilliant. I just wish they'd cast different people to play Cathy and Catherine. It completely lacked in personality and a followable story-line, it jumps from one thing to another-leaving you wondering how in the hell they got there.....not a good movie in my opinion. Sorry :(
@chrysta77 The dramatically compressed timeline of this film is my number one complaint. It leaves no time for the necessary character development which is central to the story. I just wanted to add that the story contained within the book is much better than this adaptation.
This is NOT a good adaptation. Heathcliff and Catherine are both so LIMP! Catherine is suppose to be more haughty and spoiled. Heathcliff is suppose to be a lot more angrier, tormented, not BORING looking! They're suppose to be a lot darker; where is the toxic, where is the passion? His transformation was weak. Using the same actress to play young Catherine is a bad move, she's not suppose to resemble her mother, only Hareton (Hindley's son) had the Cathy's features. The grange is far too fancy.
@sillywabbit0 I have to say I found Ralph Fiennes anything but boring as Heathcliff. I honestly can't see what you mean. There's just this darkness about him, this anguish that's truly compelling and this is the adaption that really spoke to me and attracted me to the story in the first place. Prior to seeing this, I had never seen either of these actors in anything else but I thought, from the book, that they did a fantastic job. :) God Bless xx
@HarleyJoker1 What I mean when I say he bored me is that he looks a bit stiff in some of the scenes, that even his speech and mannerisms are with an unnatural restraint. I imagined Heathcliff a lot tougher, angrier, and too emotionally immature to keep his fury under wrap. I think his coldness played out better in his latter years. My opinion has changed since my last comment because I've watched this adaptation again and the more I watch it, the more I liked it. :)
Well as it was Valentines Day again so I've continued my tradition of reading this incredible book and watching my favorite movie adaptation with Ralph Fiennes...
Now my bottle of wine has run dry and once more, the story is finished.
This film has put the beginning at the end. Mr Lockwood appears at the start of the book and stays at WH where he's haunted by Cathy. He becomes ill and Nellie relates to him the story of WH. Starting with the haunting was a clever plot device for E. Bronte, setting the tone of the book.
Also it's arguable as to whether Heathcliffe is innately bad or is affected by his ill-treatment as a child.
@god7man The same woman as from the start when she walks into the empty home of Catherine & Heathcliff after their passing. She walks in and imagines the story and story that is told to her by something she knows nothing of and at the end she finishes the story of them both.
If you want to know who the woman is in reality, then its Sinead Oconnor.
Cathy and Heathcliff were not able to be together because of the resentment her brother had towards him.
Cathy and Hareton were both resented by Heathcliff for reasons of the past and he was an obstacle for their happiness. Deep down Heathcliff found some love in his heart and decided not to complete his vengeance towards the two.
Question: is the girl that comes out with the dark hair Cathy and haretons daughter?
@applecheeks81, wow...I'm really impressed with your comment! You seem to be a very passionate person, which basically translates as my kind of person! And although this may seem a little forward...Do you think we could get to know each other a little better? I'll message my email address over to you personally...x x
@applecheeks81, great! Sorry to be so forward, just that I'm in a really passionate mood....In fact, I think it's because I've been listening to some really passionate music. Just finished listening to 'Slow Hand' by the Pointer Sisters, 'Make it witchu' by Queens of the Stone Age and 'Undress Me Now' by Morcheeba...Don't suppose you know any of those do you!? Anyway, hit me back, am loving getting to know you...x x x
Heathcliff is a very troubled character but I find his cruelty absolutely shocking. Particularly towards Hareton, Isabella and the young Catherine. How upsetting.
It's also rather disturbing when he briefly wonders whether the tree will grow as twisted if bent by the same wind - he passes his evil on to his son. This really bothers me.
oh - my - god. madly, wildly, passionately feeling great right now. unbelievable. whoa! wish i had to read it in school. reading it now...and this movie is really different than the book. wish i was typing this in swype on my phone. i'm just recently android and LOVING the swype.
mmmm i've been reading many comments, and none of them mention anything about education. i think education is a very important subject in this book. love, hate, vengeance, passion, yeah of course. but one of the things that shocked me the most was the cruelness to deprive someone of education (in the case of Heathcliff and Hareton)
@mimikitten1 Its Emily Bronte... The women who wrote wurthering heights. Its cool because its like her making up this whole story from just standing in an old dilapidated house.
I love this movie/book. It truly shows a real depiction of "love"...how people will fall in love and then break up......usually because of a purely selfish reason.......like this film. I agree with riojatorre, Cathy had a real/better reason because she didn't know that Heathcliffe could go out and make money as quick as he did......she didn't want to be homeless and poor.
@zman740 exactly and still they wouldn't have been able to live at Wuthering Heights if they got married since Hindley would've been furious and kicked them out.
The only thing I didn't really like about this movie was that Catherine (Earnshaw) didn't seem as passionate and wild as she was in the book. I did like how they used the same actress for Cathy (Linton), because it made one feel as if Catherine was still "alive", in a way, through her daughter.
@CatherineMorland19 I agree with that coz i think that with her lose of passion it made Heathcliff's actions seem less warrented and made him more the villan than I thought him in the book though he was an evil man in adulthood I always thought her equal in her sinning and evilness
@hoodge95 Exactly! Ive read Unfortunate Events but not Harry Potter. I think I might read them soon though. I'm a big fan of the classics =) But the downside though is there is rarely more than one book. And so the questions continue lol
Thankyou so much for posting this on, i've read the book a few times now and i love it so much. Its one of the greatest books ever written, Thankyou Emily Bronte!
@hoodge95 I know just how you feel. Whenever I read a good book or series I always want to know more. Cuz it's like your living a whole different life so much different than your own and you never want it to end. That's why sometimes I find myself being sad when I finish a book...
Briavel1- I think she ran away to Linton with London and then she died that's why LInton got sent back to stay with Heathcliff.
Tglongacre269-Isn't it Ellen? She is the one telling the story in the book to Mr. whats his name! But in a film version it starts with Emily Bronte talking.The 2009 one I think. :)
@eeyoreangel22 Yes, in the book Ellen is telling the story to Mr. Lockwood. In this verson, 1992, it has I believe Emily Bronte telling the story. In the 2009 verson it's just telling the story and there is no specific person doing the talking. It didnt even have a Mr. Lockwood! It was still regardless a nice verson.
@Briavel1 She left Heathcliff before Linton was born and ran away to London, i think,
In the book, she sends a letter to Edgar saying that she is dying about 12 years after she leaves the heights. Edgar brings back Linton to live with him, but Heathcliff takes him away
Wow! I finished the book today and just finished the movie. This was done very well with the exception of the story being told through a different person. I wonder who is the girl telling the story though? In my mind I actually thought it was suppose to be Emily Bronte. Such a passionate and beautiful story. I think this story line in some ways set the basis for alot of books. This story though will live forever.
God, this is so.....so beautiful, magnificent!! it's rare when the book and the film are mostly the same, when there are no mistakes in the film according to the book!But THIS is something exceptional!!!
so I absolutely love this movie. thank you for letting me see it for the first time! i do have a question though: when heathcliff sees cathy and they kiss, is that heaven? how does heathcliff die? and does he end up with cathy in the end? sorry for so many questions, i just love this movie and want to understand. thanks!
блин.. я каждый раз когда концовку смотрю рыдаю в три ручья..картинка и музыка рвут сердце на части...очень тяжелое произведение..мрачное но такое жизненое
I read this book when I was doing my M.A in English Literature. Heathcliff is the only character that is still in my memories, his words when he says to Mr. Lockwood" Guests are so exceedingly rare here that me and my dogs don't know how to recieve them." Really a man of acrtion. Besides the hate for all his love for Catherine subtle as rock.
One of the best movies I've ever seen is called, "Hawks" with Janet McTeer. Ellen in this version. I'm so glad to see her again! Excellent actress. Ironic that in it Timothy Dalton starred as a cancer patient she falls in love with. Timothey that has played Heathcliff in another version of Wuthering Heights. ha This is the best of all of them and I've seen them all. Lots of liberties but none the less. Thank you for posting this. :)
Thanks for posting - a beautiful book. The main characters are really horrible but I think it shows what people do for love. Catherine (in the book) was a game-player, selfish and pretty shallow. Heathcliff physically abuses people, is unforgiving, manipulative, and thoroughly selfish. BUt there is something drawing and haunting and unforgettable about the book.
lol...yes, that was confusing. actually, this book is written by emily bronte, and that woman is supposed to be emily. that is why you see her talking about the story, and planning its plot.
The girl at the end is Emily bronte the author at the beginning of the story

I'm sorry, who is that woman at walking out of the door at 3:42?????
god7man 1 year ago
@god7man The same woman as from the start when she walks into the empty home of Catherine & Heathcliff after their passing. She walks in and imagines the story and story that is told to her by something she knows nothing of and at the end she finishes the story of them both.
If you want to know who the woman is in reality, then its Sinead Oconnor.

History tries to repeat itself.
Cathy and Heathcliff were not able to be together because of the resentment her brother had towards him.
Cathy and Hareton were both resented by Heathcliff for reasons of the past and he was an obstacle for their happiness. Deep down Heathcliff found some love in his heart and decided not to complete his vengeance towards the two.
Question: is the girl that comes out with the dark hair Cathy and haretons daughter?
Oh and to the people who say Heathcliff was

@imadreamer815 The girl that comes out at the end is the narrator of the story. She was in the beginning, too. I suppose she represents the author?

@imadreamer815 No the narrator was Emily Bronte. Meaning that the woman that came out of Wuthering Heights at the end was her finishing her story

@applecheeks81, wow...I'm really impressed with your comment! You seem to be a very passionate person, which basically translates as my kind of person! And although this may seem a little forward...Do you think we could get to know each other a little better? I'll message my email address over to you personally...x x

@applecheeks81, great! Sorry to be so forward, just that I'm in a really passionate mood....In fact, I think it's because I've been listening to some really passionate music. Just finished listening to 'Slow Hand' by the Pointer Sisters, 'Make it witchu' by Queens of the Stone Age and 'Undress Me Now' by Morcheeba...Don't suppose you know any of those do you!? Anyway, hit me back, am loving getting to know you...x x x

Heathcliff is a very troubled character but I find his cruelty absolutely shocking. Particularly towards Hareton, Isabella and the young Catherine. How upsetting.
It's also rather disturbing when he briefly wonders whether the tree will grow as twisted if bent by the same wind - he passes his evil on to his son. This really bothers me.
xxxfairymaryxxx 1 year ago 23
@xxxfairymaryxxx His mind is twisted, he's vengeful, self-centred and conniving. He doesn't allow Catherine to do as she wish.

mmmm i've been reading many comments, and none of them mention anything about education. i think education is a very important subject in this book. love, hate, vengeance, passion, yeah of course. but one of the things that shocked me the most was the cruelness to deprive someone of education (in the case of Heathcliff and Hareton)

I love this movie/book. It truly shows a real depiction of "love"...how people will fall in love and then break up......usually because of a purely selfish reason.......like this film. I agree with riojatorre, Cathy had a real/better reason because she didn't know that Heathcliffe could go out and make money as quick as he did......she didn't want to be homeless and poor.

The only thing I didn't really like about this movie was that Catherine (Earnshaw) didn't seem as passionate and wild as she was in the book. I did like how they used the same actress for Cathy (Linton), because it made one feel as if Catherine was still "alive", in a way, through her daughter.

@CatherineMorland19 I agree with that coz i think that with her lose of passion it made Heathcliff's actions seem less warrented and made him more the villan than I thought him in the book though he was an evil man in adulthood I always thought her equal in her sinning and evilness

Actually, there are quite a lot of parts of the novel that they didn't put into the film, but I would find them important.
Inspite of this, it is really a great film, I think and the roles were casted also greatly. Ralph, I love you....

Briavel1- I think she ran away to Linton with London and then she died that's why LInton got sent back to stay with Heathcliff.
Tglongacre269-Isn't it Ellen? She is the one telling the story in the book to Mr. whats his name! But in a film version it starts with Emily Bronte talking.The 2009 one I think. :)
eeyoreangel22 1 year ago
@eeyoreangel22 Yes, in the book Ellen is telling the story to Mr. Lockwood. In this verson, 1992, it has I believe Emily Bronte telling the story. In the 2009 verson it's just telling the story and there is no specific person doing the talking. It didnt even have a Mr. Lockwood! It was still regardless a nice verson.

Whatever happened to Isabelle Linton? Did she die of despair?
Briavel1 1 year ago
@Briavel1 She left Heathcliff before Linton was born and ran away to London, i think,
In the book, she sends a letter to Edgar saying that she is dying about 12 years after she leaves the heights. Edgar brings back Linton to live with him, but Heathcliff takes him away
yuki9763 1 year ago
Wow! I finished the book today and just finished the movie. This was done very well with the exception of the story being told through a different person. I wonder who is the girl telling the story though? In my mind I actually thought it was suppose to be Emily Bronte. Such a passionate and beautiful story. I think this story line in some ways set the basis for alot of books. This story though will live forever.

I read this book when I was doing my M.A in English Literature. Heathcliff is the only character that is still in my memories, his words when he says to Mr. Lockwood" Guests are so exceedingly rare here that me and my dogs don't know how to recieve them." Really a man of acrtion. Besides the hate for all his love for Catherine subtle as rock.

One of the best movies I've ever seen is called, "Hawks" with Janet McTeer. Ellen in this version. I'm so glad to see her again! Excellent actress. Ironic that in it Timothy Dalton starred as a cancer patient she falls in love with. Timothey that has played Heathcliff in another version of Wuthering Heights. ha This is the best of all of them and I've seen them all. Lots of liberties but none the less.

Thanks for posting - a beautiful book. The main characters are really horrible but I think it shows what people do for love. Catherine (in the book) was a game-player, selfish and pretty shallow. Heathcliff physically abuses people, is unforgiving, manipulative, and thoroughly selfish. BUt there is something drawing and haunting and unforgettable about the book.
