Good call, confuzzeded. Good call. Heathcliff, as Emily Bronte created him, was an angry, savage, vengeful, lonely, narcissistic creature, yet I couldn't help but pity him. He had been humiliated and betrayed.Don't we all have a dark side deep down? Ralph Fiennes is an amazing actor. He has proven through other characters that he can be incredibly dark, cruel,tortured and twisted. He played Heathcliff very well with what he was given but a slightly different one could have done much more justice
I'm as big a fan of Ralph Feinnes as anyone, but I thought he was wrong for Heathcliff, although correct for THIS Heathcliff---all butter and swooning and flowers. Heathcliff must destroy, because he was destroyed. And anybody who reads this as a conventional love story simply hasn't cracked the spine of this book. It's monstrous with rage and mad with grief.
Ralph Fiennes is one of my all time favourite actors but they ballsed up this film. He isn't intense enough. Wrong actor for the wrong role. He would have made a better Edgar! The director was a silly billy.
Oh Heathcliff's sorrow it's so strong and painfull -Raph was so incredible in the last scene- it breaks my heart to see him holding the body of the woman he loved, it feels like he is burying his heart inside Cathy's body while he's left lonely and living like a ghost or better said like that tree... alone with only the roots of him will to move on on a dried land without love.
They did this movie far too gently. it's supposed to be harsh and heavy. The characters ... you like them but you're supposed to hate them, they are despicable. I almost liked them here, it's all wrong in my opinion. And why didn't Heathcliff bang his head against the tree? I would have done it very differently
I saw an interview here on youtube where Ralph Fiennes said that he really did bang his head on the tree and actually injured himself...he was hoping they would leave it in in the film, but they cut it out. :( I really like this film myself, though! :)
yes, you-re right, reading the book I hated both Heathcliff and Cathy...his son, Linton, is unbearable...they "softed" them in the movie. But I love the movie anyway! :)
@ge010281 well I mean in comparison to the 1939 film I feel like this version was alot heavier maybe physically, the acting in the older film however I feel was far superior and less melodramatic.
This is my favorite scene...it cannot be another love like this it would never exist man...only in Emily's Bronte imagination. I always wonder a thousand of things when i look this picture. Is pathetic the way that we love... we don't love at all...that sucks!!
i know both characters are evil...but the love that heathcliff feels for cathy is sooo strong it makes people like them...true love

I know I'm crazy, but........I love heathcliff. I love dark, sinister characters in classical books, and period films, and he epitomizes everything.
I loved 0:53. The thing I've always loved about that book is the dark, wild, almost animalistic passion he has for her. :)

i wish this movie really had more passion in it.
when catherine is at her death bed and he comes to her,
in the book there is actual real raw passion between them, and she even pulls out some of his hair and he gives her bruises.
where is that!
ralph fiennes is actually perfect for this role. but i wish it was more like the book!

@confuzzeded In a interview Ralph Fiennes said that he did hit his head against the tree just like in the book.
However they decided to cut the part out due to the film being a PG rating, and Ralph really did want to keep this part in the Movie.
Also in the next scene they has to cover the lump on his head with his hair, as the tree banging had caused some damage.
