  • Highlander?

    

  • the most beautiful adaptation of, in my opinion, one of the best books ever written. the casting is superb but its the music that brings it to life and really touches the soul.

  • boring film............

  • "I found him" lol

    i wish someone would of found me and brought me home with them.

  • hi heathcliff! its me edgar.................

  • By far this is the best version of Wuthering Heights. Ralph Finnes looks the part and plays it great. Juliette also plays it great. It is the best version. Thanks for the share.

  • because the book is ............hard to read lol

  • nice

  • I prefer this version much better. 

  • @elvaelvirababe How can anybody say this Version is better Than the Original Beyond me The acting isn,t great  Original one is a Masterpeice

  • The Brontes  were great American writers. Makes me proud

  • @kelliop they were british...

  • @kelliop they were not American writers, they were British. Where on earth did you get the idea they were American?

  • @kelliop where did you get the idea that the Bronte sister were American? Just reading it made me laugh tears

  • @kelliop Obvious troll is obvious

  • @kelliop Can't tell if stupid or trolling..

  • @kelliop

    So you are proud of another person's acts because you think they were born in the same country as you did? Being born somewhere good should be considered as luck; not something to be proud of (you did nothing for it). And being proud that someone else had success is only proof you never had any.

    And as others already said: the Bronte sisters were not American, but maybe you can be prood of British bloodlines too. I understand. I'm proud of Tintin too :-)-)

  • man ralph fiennes is the best heathcliff. that's exactly how i imagined heathcliff from the first moment :D

  • the movie is so convoluted, the book on the other hand is much better!

  • Surely this has already been said but Juliette Binoche is far too old for this role. I can barely concentrate on the narrative because she's too aged for her character and I can't buy into the illusion. Absolutely terrible casting and acting, I expect better to be honest

  • Part of the reason why the book is better is because it works on illustrating the scenes in your head before the actions are brought forth. This movie is too hasty to get the story in. And the backdrop is a tad too modern...it ought to evoke some tinge of eeriness, but none of that comes through. Feels hip...does it not?

  • Her hands look real but her face is clear? Hmm

  • Haha, this is a non-violent version of the novel and Lockwood did not rub the hands of the ghostie on the broken glass!

  • Was that Sinéad O'Connor as Emily Bronte in the first scene??

  • @Tigerlilly0777 yeah ....and narrating it , and finishes it in the last scene ....the theme tune your listening to is taken from an old irish air (i think by sean o riada ) . she would definately have been responsible for introducing that tune to the composers. the original would have been better ( originally a hymn i think , but usually played on a whistle .

  • @Tigerlilly0777 yep!!

  • wow 9 minutes in the movie and its almost not like the book, ;( why are the books always better? is it because we image what we think is happening and thus making our own thoughts the only image that would appeal to us :(

  • The movie is so quick, they skip many things from the actual book, its so resumed, but, its too much easier

  • Thinking of this novel is about "pro or against racism" is shallow

  • Comment removed

  • Wuthering Heights is my all time favorite book!!! ive seen alot of movie adaptations (most of them are absolutely wretched!! and im sure the 2011 one isnt going to be any better by the looks of it) but this one is very faithful to the book, i have watched this movie quoting the book word for word and the script be almost perfect! its my favorite of all the ones ive seen (including the ones i regret watching)

  • @AngelRide1846

    2009 was good and this is excellent , thats it in my opinion <3

  • @M0onlightKiss if by 2009, you mean the tom hardy version, that one actually (in my own oppinion plz dont be offended!) was wretched. you may have a different view, but i regreted watching that one. well to each own i suppose. (dont be mad! :( {srry, i hate fighting with ppl i dont know})

  • @AngelRide1846 me2....the fascinating novel since my teenage...

  • Sinead O'Connor is so beautiful...

  • Because I love Vampires, I first bought the book 'Wuthering Bites', It made me curious about the book 'Wuthering heights'. Now i'm so obsessed with it I must see the film !

  • My favorite book ever. It's magical. *_*

  • This is a prove that real art never dies i'm reading the book because of my school but I'm realy liking.

  • I don't read books at all, and one of my teachers told me about the book. So i got it from my library today, i haven't read it yet i hope it's good. I heard the end is really depressing >.< lol

    I am not the best with reading cos i'm dyslexic ( i used google to spell the words :D gotta love it ) but i'll try. Wish me luck!? :D

  • @oliviaw83 Good luck :)

  • @WaldorfWannabe YAY! :D

  • I LOVE THE BOOK.ITS A BIT DEPRESSIVE BUT I LIKED THE LOVE STORY BETWEEN CATHERINE AND HEATHCLIF.THE MOVIE IS ALSO GOOD.I BELIEVE ITS THE BEST WH MOVIE ADAPTATION.THE TRUTH IS THE PARTICULAR MOVIE MOTIVATED ME TO READ THE BOOK.THE BRONTE NOVELS ARE FASCINATING!

  • How could you wait only to read this boom when it's entailed upon you? For shame! This book was written by a Girl in her twenties! she died when she was just 30. Its an amazing feet for one so young and lonely and inexperienced. Inexperienced in all but death.

  • thumbs up if youre watching this because you actually read WH on your own time and just love ralph fiennes ;D

  • i like it

  • I read this book three years ago and I remember it was a particularly hard read, but it is one of the best books I have read. I've read Mary Shelly's Frankenstein too, that's good as-well.

  • I was 16 when I read this book, a lot of years past but I still remember the emotions I felt reading it.

  • Wuthering heights is a hard book to get through to get used to the language they used but it is one of my favorites so passionate!

  • this movie is so good, so does the book. Wuthering heights is one of my favorite book, the book is a real master piece, i can read it again and again . the movie is good too.

  • i HATE this book ¬6 they force me to read it

  • is this movie based on emily bronte's book? :D thanks...

  • @princessbluekah of course it is.. i says it in the beginning.. "Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights"

  • Forget the book & the films: Kate Bush made a song about this that is all you need to hear.

  • is this the complete movie?!

  • Hmmm I think Cathy Jr. could use some hair gel...

  • Personally i couldn't stand reading this... soooo i'm gonna watch the movie easy-mode style

  • thumbs up med tech !!!!

  • @ggriffinn1 get back under your bridge, troll.

  • this movie has the most beautiful theme song ever.

  • The very first wasnt part of the movie.. It was Emly Bronte's sort of introduction of the book.

  • Gah. I have two weeks to read this book and 3 others. I should have been doing summer reading instead of reading the Harry Potter series a 9th time :| Oh, fudge.

  • @screaminghallelujah6

    At least you have read something... So you have been a very good student anyway!: D

  • @screaminghallelujah6 If you love HP you should enjoy this - the storyline between Snape, Lily and James is inspired by Wuthering Heights =D

  • book is tooooo good and gives the details !!!

  • VOLDEMORT!!!! <3

  • NOOOOOO!!! what happens in the very ending!!!! clip #13 is gone!!! NOOOO!! =(

  • Who is the girl shown in the first two minutes? Just finished reading the book and there is no mention of her..o.O It's not Nelly Dean, is it?

  • @varekai918 I believe it's suposed to be Emily Brontë :)

  • i think ralph fiennes has to be the best heathcliff i have seen so far my mom is getting the book next week for me im excited because i love to read and period pieces are my favorite books(:

  • My grandma gave me this book when I was in middle school. I was so annoyed when people started liking it just because of because of Twilight.

  • I'm so watching this today.. :D

  • thumbs up if youre watching this for summer reading:)

  • @SheRunsWithAsians : let's hope none of the 19 thumbs up are in my AP English class! A movie is a poor substitute for a book.

  • People always give me strange looks when I share my love of all things Bronte. Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights are my favorite books. I just always understood them right off. So many of my friends cannot seem to understand Wuthering Heights, though. The same names and back and forth through time seem to confuse them too much. I wish people would take more time in reading so they can actually understand what it is they're reading.

  • @nvalentino75 So true...I am "obsessed" with Wuthering Heights too. I have seen all the film versions I could find. that would be...5. Still this is my favourite.

  • Ralph Fiennes gives really awkward hugs...

  • @hellomynameisKATiiE lol, you mean like in HP?

  • @LUCII3R3 lol yup:P

  • god, we watched this in English class. I was halfway to suicide.

  • wow I'm jealous of the heathcliff's straight hair LOL this version is a lot better than most of them

  • I never knew Catherine Earnshaw had long hair =3

  • @Syvmana All women had long hair in the Victorian era :)

  • @RNSpicey The novel isn't set in the Victorian era though, is it?

  • i find it depressing how i need to watch the movie before i read the book fully just so i can understand more than 1% of it.

  • @ggriffinn1 Just because you couldn't get past the first page without turning through the dictionary a hundred times, doesn't mean that it's a stupid book. it "Acts sophisticated" because people WERE back then, unlike now! If you were an "avid reader" as you call yourself, then you'd be able to discover the deeper meaning in the novel, which makes it so amazing.

    But apparently these "high level word" books are too much for you. Maybe you should go back to picture books and work your way up.

  • @blkRNcld101 Our schools are dumbing us down. We don't understand the language because it isn't being taught. Our children are being taught for tests. :-/

  • No film has every really captured the book which is very original...and no actor has really captured Heathcliffs character not even Voldemort here..Its a very unhollywood love story showing the pain and misery of love, a love highly passionate yet unconsumated. Ppl find that impossible to understand!. Bronte based it on her brother Bramwell. A talented man-he fell in love with his employers wife..and ended up turning to drink and drugs, and died a premature death, of a broken heart really.

  • Ralph Fiennes ♥

  • @ggriffinn1 P.S. welcome to reality >-> arn't we all like this. before consturcting a stronge argument about this i suggest you think through your state of excistence and others before coming to a simple conclusion because there is non. your excistence is useless its only the stories that we leave behind is what makes us who we are, thats the message of this story. not just about upper classes. the character's in this arn't evan upper class only the lintons. P.s. i happen to be english myself.

  • @ggriffinn1 you know, its great you have the greatest opinion ever >_> but we as fans of this movie don't give two shits. at all. you don't like it don't watch it >-> go kill yourself for all i care because your opinion about anything means nothing, and since you have nothing better to do then to critisise other's opinions then theres no reason for ou to live because your not contributing to anybody's life by being alive >-> go kill yourself. (foamy loveeer <33 your argument is invalid.)

  • i...love...this...movie DXXX!!!! ralph feienes <333

  • Thanks so much for this upload,this is my favorite version as I think it comes closer to the original novel.

  • I watched this movie in English and absolutely fell in love with it <3

  • Oh where have all the REAL romances like this gone?!

  • @ggriffinn1 that´s is the most stupid reasoning I've ever heard -.-

  • @ggriffinn1 you are of course entitled to your opinions, and some don't like this literary classic. But this isn't simply about an upper class whining over nothing. It is certainly about class, and Heathcliff himself is an example of that/ Your lack of knowledge of the period and the book is telling

  • I loved the book, the movie doesn't compare to the book. Anyone who chooses the movie over the book don't know what they are missing.

  • @ggriffinn1 why do i suck?

  • Thank you so much for these video's. I am taking A level English and my exam is tomorrow, but i am yet to understand the plot of the story, without these videos i would still be left clueless, thank you <3

  • i thought catherine linton would be prettier

  • Best adaption of Wuthering Heights EVER!!! I have watched (and own) this three or more times already! The reason I don't watch it very much is by the end of the movie I am bawling like a baby and can barely breathe.

  • I think it's really sad that people need to use cliff notes or watch the movie instead of actually sitting down and taking the time to actually read the book. it's an amazing book! i can't believe how lazy people can be. I'm 16 and I first read this when I was 12, without watching the movie, and I fell in love with it. the book is a masterpiece and the movie does not do it justice.

  • @blkRNcld101 The book is really amazing and people should read it. Nevertheless, I do think we cannot compare a book with its cinema adaptation. Literature and cinema use two different languages. A movie will never be as good as a book, because they are incomparable. But I agree with you: those who watch the movie INSTEAD OF reading the story, only because they must know the plot, are missing a world.

  • I LOVE WUTHERING HEIGHTS!!!! :D :D

  • It's kind of painful for me to watch this movie after having read the masterpiece that is the book. In the book, Bronte uses an intricate and convoluted narration through secondhand accounts from Nelly told to us by Lockwood. This movie completely throws that out of the window. I won't watch more of this.

  • I stand to what i just said.. the 2009 version was an ? MTV version? hell no.. i stand by what i said earlier

  • the original 1939 version is the best, this one is second, haven't scene the 2009 version, who knows it may better..

  • I'm currently reading the book but for some reason it doesn't appeal too me :l so i decided that maybe seeing one clip ought of help me out :)

  • i LOVE this book is my favorite but have never seen the movie

  • @polwoos1 yeah me too...:P I didn't even know that was a movie for based on that book....:D I really love the book, and every time I read it I cry....:)

  • i remember i watch this movie before i knew what even the book was and i thouht it was terrible. then when i watched the 2009 version i loved it so much i watched it 2 days in a row, then went and buy the book to read and love it ever since.

    this movie is bad you should read the book

  • Screw the 2009 version. THIS is Wuthering Heights!

  • yes the movie i read wuthering heights and loved it even though no one in my class does lol these kind of books jus capture my attentions thanks so much for uploading it

  • AW what the hell I already hate this version. It skipped out one of the best scenes- when Heathcliff throws open the window and begs for Cathy to come back.

  • hehe am suppose to do a novel study on this talk about easy

  • Can't get the characters right for this novel

  • @Ograws I know what you mean. I just read got done reading it and was noticing that myself.

  • @JuNkCriSiS er I meant just got done..lol sorry two thoughts in one.

  • @JuNkCriSiS Yeah :P

  • Is that Sinead O'Commor at the very beginning of the film?

  • iwant to have sex with this music

  • lol

  • Im reading the book wuthering heights, and I keep on crying its so beautiful <3

  • IT'S. *don't say his name* LORD VOLDEMORT

  • i have a research paper on the victorian period wud this be good to take notes from??

  • @ILuvJohnnyDepp92  mmmm i think not......

  • @ILuvJohnnyDepp92 , no. I'm almost entirely sure this isn't set in Victorian times. I'd guess 18th century.

  • If i could take all the adaptations i know of and rank them i think this is how it would look:

    1) 2009 with Tom Hardy

    2) 1992 with Ralph Fiennes

    3) 1998

  • First time seeing the movie and i've never read the book. I've learned by now that movies can be huge let downs of good books, so i'm hoping to read the book as soon as I can.

  • I love this adaptation

  • Atonement is a lot like Wuthering Heights.

  • Just starting this book, it seems like its going to be really good. Kind of hard to understand that old language though and their way of saying things

  • @juzu4me Its gets easier. Once the Ellen starts her storytelling. You get used to it. Kinda like listening to a shakespear play :)

  • @neerrg Yeah you're right! I can't believe I am reading a book that was written so long ago. If you really use your imagination you can put yourself in that house and pretend you are sitting by that fire with Joseph whining at you. Too cool!

  • @juzu4me  it's a very good book . it's one of my favourites, but Heathcliff is for sure my favourite male character in a book (i've read).

  • @naly202 I think Holden Caulfiield is my favourite!

  • This version is good. Juliette plays cathy nicely, with her torment in doing what she wanted vs what she needed. Ralph is also good with her anger always present, except when he's with his Cathy..usually. My only issue was with Binoche's dual roles..

  • 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 and the book starts with Lockwood and not Nelly walking around while flute is playing around. Also I had no idea that Wuthering Heights is so big. This is a goddamn movie, I am afraid you have to deal with it, how the producer wanter it to resemble.

  • will it be raly gay if i watch it to the end?

  • The most romantic movie of all the times...terribly sad, though...

  • i must say reading just the first page of this book plunged me into a deep dark world of depression.. and continued to get worst as it went on. this story and the play on words made me want to tie a rope round my neck hang the rope around some high wooden object stand on a chair then remove the chair from under me leaving me to hang in cold dark desolation. BUT I LOVED EVERY BIT of this story! and i would never voluntarily kill myself even if it would rid the world 1 less skeptic:)

  • Thank you, i'm doing this novel for my english class, you made my life easier.

  • Cathy is such bitch!!! XD I love Heathcliff enough not to brush him aside for social advancement boooo that whore!!!

  • So thrilled to see this here...I first read Wuthering Heights when I was 11...40 yrs later it is still my all time favourite....thank you CathysHeathcCliff. :)

  • Tell me why Heathcliff has to be 20years older now???

    Why Lord Why?! :'( 

  • @eefpaloma Yes I protest to this age difference! =D

  • Emily Bronte is such a good writer...

    it really make me curious when i read the book of Wuthering heights...

    make me want to read it again and again...

    and I know this movie made when I just one years old.

    but when I read this book.. It's great

  • I watched this movie only for the first time earlier today and in my mind its probably one of the best movies ever made and something i can relate to in many ways. The love, the madness, the loss, the pain.

  • I like to enjoy this movie as just that. A movie. The book is deep and soulful. Sad and almost promising. Books and movies rarely show trueness throughout, so therefore I accept and enjoy the tale and feel everything each character feels. In particular Heathcliff and Cathy. If the book was never created, but the movie was, it is very thought and emotion provoking either way. Ralph is divine as Heathcliff and Juliette suits the role nicely. Bravo to Love and true soulmates.

  • @Christinecge922 What you say is so true. Here is to this magnificent movie Christinecge922!! :) As you say, Bravo to Love and true soulmates even if we lose them along the way, its what gives everything meaning.

  • @blade004 Thanks for the positive response. I have loved, similar to this, but not so dark. My husband and I were soul mates, and the connection was intense. He passed away in 1989 of cancer. Our son was being delivered at the same time. I knew he was dying and tried to bring our son into this world. I think my husband wanted to be with me/ our son at his birth and he didn't want to hold on. Bless all those who have actually FOUND their soul mate! Recovery is neverending.......

  • @Christinecge922 Haha you're a nutball.

  • @Christinecge922 whats it feel like to find your soul mate ?

  • is this film true to the book?, what are the bits they have missed out or added in

  • this is my favorite film of the book

    hope u enjoy it as much as i

  • this is better than the 2009 version :X

  • Does anyone know who plays Emily Brontë in the beginning?

  • @elfcanread SINEAD O'CONNOR

  • :) I love this.

  • Ok i shat myself when th tree broke through and the face came up. And my dad sounds like Heathcliffe...bloody hell...

  • I just started watching the 2009 version.......and didn't even get through ten minutes of it. The guy playing as Heathcliff sounded like he was drunk, and had a really bad accent......he couldn't act. This version is so much better.

  • I really wanna read the book!
