  • What's he eaten? seems delicious....

  • "Shouldn't you be back in the fields now Heathcliff?" at 1:02 he shows something with his response :)

  • I've never understood why people like these characters. Cathy is a spoiled brat who choosed money over love. But he- if you really loved someone you would let them rest in peace, not wish that they would be stuck to one place as ghosts.

  • Binoche is so bad as Catherine, so bad.

  • god these two actresses .... aaaah i can't stand them... they screw a great scene! -.-'

  • She needs more passion!

  • CATHY STOP BEING SUCH A BITCH HE LOVES YOU

  • oh my goodness stop laughing

  • I haven't read the book, though I plan to as soon as I can get my hands on a copy, but I've seen the 2009 Masterpieces version. And I really feel like I could believe that Cathy loved Heathcliff in that one, but in this, at least so far, it doesn't seem like she cares about him. I don't know, I don't really like these actors for these roles. And that's saying a lot because I loveeee Fiennes.

  • cathy is such a dooshe, who wouldn't want to spend time with that hot mess?

  • Janet McTeer was amazing in such a small role. Shame she didn't have more screen time.

  • i think Juliette Binoche delivered a really poor performance for the role of cathy, as usual Raph fiennes is absolutely great performing as heathcliff

  • @bellenyc76 I don't like her as Catherine Earnshaw either ! Although she has the looks, her presence is too passive, soft and delicate. Catherine is feisty, fiery, impulsive and passionate. None of these traits come through in Binoche's performance.

  • And, yes, Ralph Fiennes is terrrrrrrrrrrific !!!!

  • yup, that stupid giggle...not like

  • She doesn't fit as Cathy. absolutely not. and her laughs constantly is soooo irritating!

  • this may sound strange but i cant cant used to Ralph's nose after watching Harry Potter

  • @LadeyYuna I agree with you all the way!

  • I think Julliette Binoche delivers in this film like no other actress. When she's confessing her love for Heathcliff it's just amazing, I cry everytime, and Ralph Fiennes is amazing as Heathcliff. I like how she captures Cathy's wildness, it's just great! Best version!! xx

  • i hate catherine earnshaw sooo much.. bitch, everithing was HER fault

  • Comment removed

  • Her laughing is horrendous.

  • nelly, i am heathcliff

  • serves you right, stupid cathy. she's such a jerk to him. she deserves to be miserable her whole life, not him!

  • have 2 study this 4 english, ridiculosly boring

  • @britishxxsniper Well, if you use numbers instead of proper words and misspell 'ridiculously', I can see why.

  • I love this film and of course Ralph Fiennes, but I hate the character of Cathy - she is so annoying, I owuld go with Heathcliff anyday <3

  • Ralph Fiennes is GREAT as Healthcliff-but he should be the OLDER Heathcliff, they needed younger actors for this part.

  • Aw my God Cathy woman stop fucking giggling!

  • before anyone posts anything else, please actually read the book.

  • does Ralph Fiennes play the caretaker with the cat in Harry Potter? The resemblence is uncanny...

  • @AlwaysThere4YouX No, but his brother is voldemort.

  • @KathiivonT ahh! I knew there was some similarities there! Of course, only a few. Coz Voldy doesn't have a noes . . . and stuff . . . XP THANKS!

  • @AlwaysThere4YouX FILCH? no. way. They look nothing alike. He plays Voldemort :P

  • this cathy seriously annoys me so much. i did not picture her this way at all when i read the book. she was much more passionate and fierce with emotion and fire, not ditzy and constantly laughing and humming. the actor portraying heathcliff does a much better job.

  • FIENNES YOU CAN BE MY HEATHCLIFF ANY DAY <3

  • Nope. Heathcliff all the way ;) x

  • What I like about Cathy and heathcliff's love is that its not romantic, soft and kind (the way I initially envision love); but its passionate, consuming and painful. I never thought love could be like that until I read the book. I love the part when she said "I am heathcliff....." that was deep.....

  • Ralph Fiennes is so amazing *__*

  • Heathcliff was to good for Cathy!

  • @njova25 Yes, or the other way around. Depends on how you look on it. They didn't really suite each other, but they were too much in love to see that.

  • I don't like Cathy shes a cunt , she cant appreciate a man as passionate as heathcliffe and acts like a hussy around the other guy

  • 5:40 is a killer ... I am Heathcliff 

  • evilnaughtybritches

    Yes it did

  • did the paper heathcliff made at 1:38 really happen in the book or did they add that in the movie?

  • @evilnaughtybritches that was in the book..quite a sad part :(

  • @TheDundiewinner i never caught that, that is sad

  • @evilnaughtybritches The paper incident where Heathcliff crosses the days Cathy is not with him, and the two have it out, is in the book.

  • Cathy is such a BITCH!

  • Ralph is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooo HOT!!!!

  • Who cares how old they are? It's called acting.

  • I hate how Cathy always giggles. When I think of Cathy, I don't think of her as absent-minded.

  • Cathy and Heathcliff are suppose to be teenagers!!! Binoche and Fiennes are far TOO OLD 

  • I don't think anyone would understand this film if he or she hadn't read the book

  • arg she's annoying lol but I guess that's the character of Cathy

  • My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods, time will change it, as the winter changes the trees.

    My love for Heathcliff is like the eternal rocks beneath, a source of little visible delight but necessary.

  • oh I hate Cathy! I felt so sorry for Heathcliff in the calendar scene :-(

  • at 2:51 i swore he was gonna go Dick Cheney on cathy and shoot that bitch in the face

  • Cathy is such a bitch

  • Is it me or does Cathy seem like a stuck up little winch @ 2:44?

  • Oh my gosh

    I was eating some crackers while watching this, smiling at how gently pretty Cathy, when it got to 1:54 and I choked.

    SO. FRIGGIN. HOT. AND. BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Is him making a calendar marking the days with who Cathy spends time with, supposed to be Heathcliff's idea of being romantic? Because it's just creepy--thats not love that's unhealthy obsession.

  • @s2LaDolceVita Yep...totally agree.

  • @s2LaDolceVita That's the point for the reader

  • @s2LaDolceVita I think the point is that Heathcliff is NOT normal. But, Cathy is way too tame here.

  • this movie is weird. i shall appreciate the book even more instead.

  • i really dont mind how old these actors are. Ralph fiennes is an AMAZING actor

  • I really really dnt lik this movie

  • @Scillaa1 so why are you watching it???

  • @kar22lita because I thought it was gonna be worth it but it wasnt that why I stopped at part 4 I think that if they werent going to stay true to the book than they shouldnt have made the movie

  • i own the book but haven't got round to reading it yet so i'm not really qualified to judge, but in adaptations cathy always comes across as a right cow!

  • this movie is just off...at least for me it is

  • I can cope with Heathcliff and Kathy being older ; especially as Ralph Finnes in the role as Heathcliff. I've read the book so many times and seen so many versions of this movie, this is my favourite. It remains, and will always remain an amazing classic and no doubt we will see many more in the future. I love the story.

  • @AucklandNZ1 I agree with you. Even if they were thougth as teenagers, we shouldn't forget that in that specific time, people grow upfaster...they used to marry at the age of 15 or 16, so they needed to be mature. I think Fiennes and Binoche are perfect for this movie...=)

  • Juliete Binoche ...her best moment...at the table...

  • @Luanagal Yes..she was very good sitting there..speaking her mind.

  • The best part begins at 5:46 - when Cathy explains about herself and Heathcliff... fabulous.

  • still difficult to believe that he could love catherine that much and say that they are made of the same material(or is it cathy herself that says this?) when they are evidently so different. hmmm.. ... yet, they could be very similar in some way...

  • @Rosamorrable if you read the book, they are inface mirror images of eachother.

  • @BreakTheSkyMyseIf i've just finished reading it yesterday:). You mean that cathy acts like a foil to heathcliff?interesting...

  • @Rosamorrable Do you not agree? I sense some sarcasm.

  • @BreakTheSkyMyseIf lol... absolutely not!XD it wasn't a sarcasm, sorry if it seemed so...lool i really didn't think of it this way! i just found out that Hareton - Cathy is a foil to Heathcliff - Catherine. It's incredible!!!!I love Bronte!!!I still have to read the tenant of wildfell hall to know what makes the bronte sisters so great;)

  • @Rosamorrable Oh, ok. But yeah, I think the story is incredibly poetic. Its beautiful how the lovers reflect the fire within eachother, and in the end that fire that draws them together ends up destroying them both. I love it. =]

  • I`am Heatchcliff  7:36

  • juliet binoche is such an incredible actress... ive been watchin this part again n again... i llove the way she talks here... how d mischief suddenly turns into unbearable grief... esp that part "my love for heathcliff" thtz amazing

  • I hate how they've made Heathcliff so childish and high maintenance.

  • @ILikeABandCalldOasis I always found him childish and high maintenance. Though I love the character of Heathcliff, I've always found him as petty. Not only does he make those who "wronged" him suffer( and rightly so in the case of HIndley), but he does so through the use and manipulation of innocents (Isabella Linton), and continues on his crusade of cruelty long after those he originally set out to punish have perished.

    I still give Ralph Fiennes' portrayal 5 fan-girl "squees" out of 5.

  • @ILikeABandCalldOasis he was supposed to be 16...

  • @ninafrop It must just be the way that we read it in my class, or the way that he was contrasted next to weedy Edgar Linton all the time. But you can get mature 16 year olds.

  • What I liked about the book was how despicable everyone was. In this movie they're tolerable. And old. Sad.

  • omg, what a bitch!

  • Cathy's hair bothers me... actually, in general, Cathy just bothers me, int he book she annoyed me because she was kind of an idiot and wouldn't marry Heathcliff because it would "disgrace" her and she was mean to poor Nelly... in the movie, she's even worse because, i think, they picked the wrong person to play her

  • Cathy really is anoying with all her laughing :o

  • Wtf. This is ridiculous. Nelly hates Cathy in the book because the latter is such an egotistical, attention seeking cow. In this version they've made them lovers in their 20s when they were young children, and there's no knowledge of Heathcliff's evil personality yet which by this stage is really quite obvious in the book. Awful.

  • their laughing makes me want to smack some sense into their heads

  • oh no! but i don't know who's to hate among them.. i hate heathcliff at the middle of the story.. i i hate cathy at this one. but the story is indeed great! no words could explain emily bronte's only book!

  • Comment removed

  • no duh you lost him! you're marrying someone else! Cathy bugs me....I'd choose Heathcliff.

  • what a bitch cathy is

  • more so young and naive

  • how old is Catherine here?

  • @badcorapael haha thats so true

  • When she first talks to Nelly Cathy is naive enough to think her marrying Linton will not change anything between her and Heathcliff. If only she had listened to what Nelly was trying to tell her. That's the tragedy.

  • @tony225 agreed.

  • this just makes me want to smack Cathy

  • That's waht it is kind of meant to do.

    The book isn't suppose to make you love Cathy or Heathcliff, it is supposed ot make you show how obsession and jealousy and social status can ruin a relationship.

  • handsome and pleasant to be with? more like cos hes loaded.....

  • oh gosh its so sad im almost crying everytime ive seen it

  • The scene with Nelly is great, it is almost word for word from the book.

  • YUMMM heathcliff :P

  • i kinda expected a bit more ethinicity in heathcliff. i mean the book did say he was darker than what the english back then were used to. if someone with an irish/scottish accent constitutes a "dark gypsy" then oops i imagined him all wrong lol XD. ...i hope conitnuing to watch this movie doesnt ruin the book for me

  • both catherine and heathcliff are very cute... though cute is not so approrpiate word for this novel

  • this catherine sucks. they should stick more to the book. ralph feinnes is gorgeous!

  • she giggles too much, so far she makes a sucky catherine, I think I like the 1939 version better.

  • i think her laugh is really annoying!

  • I love this scene

  • word for word from the book, which is nice and really appreciate it, however, Binoche and Fiennes are far TOO OLD for this role...we oughtn't forget that we are talking about a First Big Love between 2 hot spirited and sexually awakened Teenagers here.....

  • i think he is stalkerish in this scene in the novel aswell, he's 16yrsold.

  • i always assumed they were younger here-- so the whole dots and xs don't seem as stalker-ish

  • Comment removed

  • @pancakezv Same. They look like they're verging on 30 so it makes it seem really weird.

  • For the love of god, why would you leave out the SPEECH! Catherine's love confession or lack thereof was the awful.

  • You're not - I can absolutely see where he's coming from. I'd probably behave exactly the same way and be crooked and strange and wild if I were him.

  • I love nelly..she was always there she was a big part of their lifes

  • Costume drama does not get better than this! I'm aching to see how Heathcliff appears again as gentleman.

  • ou maan its so sad when heathcliff leaves before he heard that cathy loves him..and she cries...i almost started crying when i read the book

  • god it doesn't get better than this. This is classic lover's lament and angst. To forget your heart and soul to marry a man who is so different from you and is rich and wealthy? Sounds criminal doesn't it?

  • yeah kind of...but anyways without this the novel wouldnt be that good i guess..event though its sad

  • It has always annoyed me that they don't have Yorkshire accents. Cathy especially. That's why the 2009 version just on ITV was good because they actually had Yorkshire accents! Fancy that.

  • @LCMac3

    Agreed. The 2009 version was the best adaption in both characterization and story development on screen. This is just flat even for a costume drama. Ralph Fiennes is the best thing in this movie, but he can't even save it.

  • @Budaphly Unfortunately, JB's delivery is much too slow, garbled, and she has very little of the fiery energy of Cathy (except for the end). Ralph Fiennes gives the best interpretation of Heathcliff I've seen so far, in accordance to the book. He is truly frightening and his delivery is masterful. But, in all the Wuthering Heights I've seen the actors are always too old and the story looses something because of it.

  • I think you really need to have been in love to really understand both Heathcliff and Cathy's thoughts,moods and actions.

    Love is such a strong force,the best and the worst thing in the world

  • This version is ok, but the 2009 one is still my fav. I really liked the 1939 one as well. the 1998 version was by far the worst.

  • I haven't seen the 1998 version, but the 1970 version is really bad, ESPECIALLY the ending.

  • I prefer the 1939 movie over this one.

  • heathcliff comes across of incredibly jealous in this film

  • if u liked dis movie, i recommend the english patient. In that one, Ralph Fiennes and Juliet Binoche star in that movie as well....

  • now everyone says that she has a french accent in this movie......i can't detect one (though i don't have much to base it off of...only watched French Kiss as a comparison) is that true? is it just a slight one>?

  • She does at times, but she is French so it's understandable.

  • Yes. She's french and she really can't hide her accent, even on film. You can hear it a little.

    I still think she makes the best Cathy - after all, we all know the French are brilliant.

  • i dont like her as cathy actually...cant put my finger on it...on why

  • She laughs way tooo much. I wish she would just shut up.

  • Lmao xD Agreed.

  • best book ever but the movie sucks!!!

  • i totally agree but thats because i think the actors here lack depth and the real essense of the characters portrayed in the novel

  • I thought this production was absolutely incredible and Juliet Binoche was incandescent. This is only silly if you've never been in love. Sorry that's my conviction which goes well beyond opinion.

  • love this! "Nelly, I am Heathcliff......." makes me sad, love it!

  • i think Cathy's prettier when she was younger :D

  • Why does Juliette Binoche giggle like a hyena throughout this movie? She makes the character seem mentally deranged.

  • @aiyamei1979 well, isn't cathy?

  • Jesus, open a book sometimes, and quit watching dumb Twilight.

  • I have read the book, and i love it, one if my favorites. But i'm sorry if it hurts your personal opinion but i dont like the movie as much.

  • Catherine isin't what i imagen!!!

  • ok I have a question(it may sound stupid) But does cathy love heathcliff more then a brother yet?

  • Yes she does, but she talks (in the book too) about how she wants to be rich and she wants to have a husband that's she proud of. She also mentions (in the book) that she wants a rich husband so she can give money to Heathcliff to free him from her older brother. She wants the best for him and she loves him, but she is still to selfish and proud to accept the idea of marrying 'down'.

  • grrr the french accent so out of place

  • The dialogue is too modern sounding

  • Comment removed

  • He's a good actor & so is she But the others .. I dont know is not a good adaptation!... but i like their love! lol

  • I thought Nelly was supposed to be closer in age to them, since in the book she said they were all children at the same time

  • in the book she was really young when she was contemplating marrying that one guy over being with heathcliff....like you forgave her because she was just stupid because she wasn't old enough yet to undnerstand what its like to not be with the one you love..

  • I read the book, I don't like any of them :(

  • I think that thats almost the point of the book. =D

  • yes, thats the point. very interesting book.

  • didnt cathy hit nelly?? or am i way off??

  • in the book she slaps her, and then edgar. But this movie has a few alterations. A great movie nonetheless. Fiennes is perfect as Heathcliff.
