Jane Eyre 2006 Episode 2 Part 2

[467290]

I can not imagine how difficult it must be to ride like Blanche does with one knee in front of her. Let's give her some credit for that at least.

[Mulanandshang4eva]

"masters orders you must be there or he will come to your room and bring you down himself"

mmm yes please

[GablesHorse]

Mrs Fairfax annoys the bloody hell out of me! She's so boring!

[IAteTheCookiee]

This is my favorite adaptation of the Jane Eyre novel. Even the latest movie.

[DangVuVN]

that french accent is just like my mother when she speaks english

[JayLynnization]

This and many other movies of the like such as Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and The Dutchess, and so much more inspire me to become a director and produce more of these fascinating stories. Would you guys watch?

[FrostedPingu]

Is it bad that I'm skipping all the non Rochester-Jane parts?

[animenightwatcher5]

@FrostedPingu not at all me too:D

[kenp3L]

That's right, you idiots. Beat the rugs indoors with people walking past carrying food.

[kenp3L]

Once, he left for a whole year under water.

[MarenAnne66]

wow, she can draw fast!

[mazzie50]

Thanks MorningRose557 I knew it was something like that, I just think its so cute letting him know that she does know that he is talking about her and that she loves him

[NoireValentine]

When I first watched this, I never understood why Jane was acting so weird while Mr. Rochester was gone. -w- Ish cute.

[raccoonpancakes]

im confused, why did jane put the letter from mr rochester into the pile? why did she have it in the first place?

[PrincessAnya91]

@raccoonpancakes I don't think she PUT it in the pile - I think she pulled it out so Mrs. Fairfax would see and read it first.

[bruceagogox]

poor Jane! Imagine her feelings when she hears he may not be returning for a while. God, this story is so romantic and beautiful!

[carmenjones411]

Ruth as the same quirky beauty as Jennifer Jason Leigh

[MorningRose557]

@mazzie50 Rochester once talked to Adele about a grey bird who hid it's beautiful red feathers(he was referring to Jane)... So when she thought that he was in love with her she wore the red cloth...

That's the watered down explanation...

[mazzie50]

Can someone plz tell me what does the red cloth around neck mean?

[agglebag]

Awww man I could right go a dippy egg and soldiers ... donnez-moi vite la oeuf ma petite Adele!!

[TheSunsetFlower]

If I were Jane, I would stay in my room so Mr. Rochester would come to bring me down ;)

[Elizabethine]

@TheSunsetFlower

I agree!!!!

[Elizabethine]

@TheSunsetFlower

I agree!!!!

[AlinaTowers]

*Grace

[AlinaTowers]

I feel lost. This Brace Paul (?), who is she and where has she shown up before? I don't remember seeing her.

[Nicole3900]

@AlinaTowers Grace Poole*

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

She is one of the servants and she takes care of Mr. Rochester's crazy locked-away wife, Bertha Mason, on the 3rd floor, which is why she gets paid much more than everybody else.

[kabash19]

I could care less about the details of the actors they picked (Blanche being blonde, etc.) just so long as they capture the spirit of the book.

Which they absolutely did.

[warriorfightsforcake]

What happened to Blanche being "as dark as a spaniard"?

[TheSummerWessinger]

story of life: boy likes brown haired--somewhat plain & quiet girl....then goes for blonde obnoxious girl....only difference is in real life he stays with blondie & doesnt go back to "jane" - _ - lol

[summzzxoxo]

Ugh, I can painfully relate to Jane. Liking someone so much, your ears shoot up as soon as you hear their name, the insane jealously and inadequacy when they like someone else... you feel as though you want to run away and make-out with him at the same time, agh.

[darcywrites0605]

lovely poofy dresses...



[LCMac3]

Useless fact of the day: The actress who plays Mrs Fairfax is married to the actor Andy Serkis (Gollum in LOTR) in real life. You can feel better for knowing that now. LOL

[withalittlegrace]

I personally adore Ruth Wilson's eyebrows, they make her so distinctive. :)

[fancy0face]

I think the reason Ruth was cast as Jane is because she LOOKS like Charlotte Brontë....And the grey dress with white collar and red scarf she wears is Brontë's iconic look (look up paintings of her and you'll see!).

[rene4eva]

Jane supposed to have green eyes! in this one she has blue :/

[CaptainLiv]

@rene4eva Her eye colour isn't exactly vital to the story, though. I don't really think it'd be worth getting her contacts for that.

[WayToSaveTheWorld]

I'd like Mr Rochester to come to my room and bring me down himself ;)

[NextGenerasionCinema]

Ed has a really cool hat.

[ucnobiucnobi2]

Blanche had black hair in the book...i don't like her at all...

[jaifromwi]

@ucnobiucnobi2 Yeah it seems like the directors want to distinguish her more clearly from Jane but giving her lighter hair. I don't like it. It's happened in multiple adaptations :\

[fantabulousstargirl]

ppl needa stop hatin on adele. i love that little girl lmao

[ksmi4431]

@fantabulousstargirl I agree 100 percent

[fantabulousstargirl]

blech blanche isn't pretty at all

[thefamilyname1]

i like janes dresses way br=etter than all that goddy stuff some of those girls hade on

[chemical93girl]

People stop complaining about Janes lips or eyebrows or whatever! She is supposed to look 'normal' and not like a Hollywood beauty, so whats up?

[MissJessyeNorman]

How did Jane get a portrait of Blanche before even meeting her?



[Golddoesnotglitter]

@MissJessyeNorman This is explained in the book. She draws how she thinks Blanche will look to compare her beauty to her own plain-ness, and trying to convince herself that Rochester wouldn't love her, and would marry Ingram instead. That about the best that I can explain it

[frecklemaggie]

at 4:38, jane is just like, HURRY BITCH

[xoxzippiexox123]

EVERYONE ITS OKAY i know whats wrong with her and why she wont eat at 1:45 hahaha shes LOOOOOOOVE sick :L

[Wunglepire]

Everything in this would be just perfect except that Janes lips annoy me to no end.

[artemis7an]

Jane would be gorgeous if she just got her brows re-shaped. it bugs me so much how overly-arched and wide and pointy they are. D:

[popi89001]

10 people must be named Bertha, or they wouldn't dislike this video!

[fantabulousstargirl]

@popi89001 or blanche, lmao

[Ckaak]

Maybe Blanche should eat make-up, so that she could at least try to be pretty on the inside too. I'm just saying...

[alleyhanai]

@Ckaak L.O.L.

[ultramarineblue777]

@Ckaak awesome comment!!!!!!!!!! XD

[MsSilentia]

@ruebque

I believe it is not that unrealistic :)

They were hardly as delicate about cleanness as we are today...

[absolute52347]

I keep wondering why Jane doesn't train the girl to have a little self control and stop flapping her arms and twirling all the time. It gets to be really annoying after awhile.

[Nicole3900]

@absolute52347 Probably because people had told Jane what to do her whole life (the Reed's house, boarding school at Lowoods, etc.) so she maybe didn't want to do the same to Adele. Plus, she really loved Adele.

[missdexterity]

so i'm watching this movie again a year after i first saw it, and i still have to say, mrs. rochester's face ~ 0:23 is freaking hilarious. cougar alert!

[gen11begin]

does no one find this movie extremely eerie and slightly disturbing? or are you all obsessed with the so called attractiveness of a man who is truly of your fantasies? lol

[evakatarina20]

no...this is a really good movie. not everything in life is sunshine and flowers.

[gen11begin]

@evakatarina20 no no no, it truly is a good movie and i have been enjoying it, i just dont understand why everyone is obsessing over a guy who quite frankly isnt that attractive. and u know this because in the book, he isnt attractive at all, he just has money. thats why he asked if he was more attractive because of his money. but jane kept her head. i just dont understand why everyone talks about the actor, not the movie itself.

[SimounAngel]

@gen11begin Haha I agree with you.

[Aventura459]

@gen11begin I've read the book as well, and while I agree with you on the fact that the actor's not that good looking, Mr. Rochester may very well have been handsome, he just wasn't what was considered handsome at the time. During this time period, men who were considered handsome were blonde with blue eyes and a Grecian profile...

[ayseal]

@Aventura459 @Aventura459

totally agree. he may even have been handsome at the time but blonde men with blue eyes were worthy of praising. i personally find blonde grecian profile very unattractive and i love thinking mr. rochaster as a unique beauty.

From the book:

"And was Mr. Rochester ugly in my eyes? No reader: gratitude, and many associations, all pleasurable and genial, made his face the object I best liked to see, his presence in a room was more cheering than the brightest fire" !!!!

[mcobrien1989]

Rochester acts in that way only because he wants Jane to know what it is to be jealous. Jane has never fallen in love before. He just wants her to be as deeply in love as he is for her. (he says that in the book) 

That's kind of machiavellian, I know.

[CVWriter08]

at least fashionable beautiful people...wow what she knows just the right words to say doesn't she.

[cavalcailtricheco]

I swear blanche was supposed to have black hair??? oh well

[Snezhinka9]

@cavalcailtricheco -, yes, she is supposed to be 'darker than a Spaniard', olive skinned and dark haired.

[Rawrbecca1992]

We all see Jane as beautiful, but how many of us in real life must over look the quietly modest.

[Songsmirth]

The child's right. This is an up-to-date version of women's rights. I don't remember Jane telling A that it's inner beauty that counts. In this day and age it was about show. They had mean markets called balls where women were paraded at their best in hope to get someone to call on them. When they got married it was a different thing. But in high society it was all show.  It's why they went to ball after ball after they'd "come out." The sooner they were married the better.

[MsSilentia]

@Songsmirth

Jane did not say that much about it to Adele. She once told her she thought too much of her "toilette", though. And since she tells us her thoughts, we know she thought Adele too obsessed with her own appearance.

[lazylols]

that writing is gorgeous!!!

[shineyourlight55]

Jane is more beautiful than Blanche, I think. Jane has more mystery and modesty in her, whereas Blanche's beauty is more showy and attention-getting.

[phantomeriklover]

@shineyourlight55 i do believe, that is the point my dear

[Silthrith]

One of my absolute favorite parts of the book is when Fairfax says Mr. Rochester is coming and Jane jumps and spills her tea, wha ha ha! But they didn't put that part into the movie

:(

[thegawel1]

She looks like Susan Dey from the partridge family

[alexandraanna73]

Have you noticed how her face changes during breakfast? She sees letter from Rochester, waits for Mrs Fairfax to read it... Adele notices something. That longing on her face, that anxiety, and then that happiness when she hears he IS coming back... An how she's trying to sound indifferrent and matter-of-fact in 'Mister Rochester is not likely to return home soon?'. I love this scene!

[MWils641]

I think he wanted her to see him at his most handsome and charming best so she would fall for him the way he had fallen for her.

[Morna777]

I think Edward wanted Jane there to help him deal with all these stupid, shallow people his rank obligates him to associate with.

[TheRose28590]

Blanche reminds me of Caroline Bingley for some reason.

[musicalmeg19]

@TheRose28590 Well, she plays "Miss Bingley's" daughter in "What a Girl Wants." The gorgeous Colin Firth is also in that movie.

[GillyBean369]

@TheRose28590

she also plays Miss Bingley in "Lost in Austen".

[mo95261]

I bet she feels under dressed lol

[lilmissnosey]

The actress who plays Grace Poole acts just as I imagined her :)

[wenglishsal]

@lilmissnosey .. the lady who played Grace Poole is PAM FERRIS, she was also Miss Trunchball in 'Matilda' and Ma Larkin in 'The Darling Buds of May'. and also with Felicity Kendal in Rosemary and Thyme on ITV. a very versatile actress indeed..

Best regards from Wales UK :0)X

[anisete46]

the first color we see with Jane, the red kerchief, after the night with Mr. Rochester.

[lola200611]

blanche is ssupposed to have raven black hair and tan skin, no?

[anisete46]

@lola200611 indeed

[enchanted92291]

@lola200611 that's what I was thinking!

[MizzAbii94]

@lola200611 I was just thinking that :)

[FinalFantasyLov3r124]

I want Rochester's horse!

[sara874]

@FinalFantasyLov3r124 me too

[hadeija]

She reminds me of Kurt from Glee

[zizieyez]

@hadeija You're so right!! Good observation!

[givemeahugNOW]

oh fuck off blanche ingram

[lavenderblossom]

I really like Adele. Despite her parenthood (which the poor thing has no control over) and her little vanities, Adele is a good person with a sweet heart. At the end of the book Jane remarks that she is a fine, kind and sweet person, and educated also.

[thaisekine]

Cheeky man Mr Rochester... bringing over Miss Ingram to test out Jane's feelings for him :)

[rosamirafly]

"I do not think that can be right, Miss Eyre"

I absolutely LOVE the way she says that. perfectly French! LOL

[katarzyna1415]

I find that I much prefer the regency style of dress, with empire waists and small capped sleeves ... these giant sleeves remind me somewhat of my old Barbies :P

[lavenderblossom]

@katarzyna1415

Lol, good lord, I loathed those Empire dresses as in Pride and Prejudice and War and Peace(not the yucky BBC adaptaion, but the Soviet one). I like the princess skirts better :]

[ddaanniieellee1]

miss ingrim is supposed to be dark, bodacious and handsome, not blonde. oh well

[gaarafanslovecookies]

@ddaanniieellee1

concurred :(

[marenm3]

@ddaanniieellee1 it seems shes always blonde in the film adaptations...

[roxyqueen2]

I love the novel, and this adaptation is fabulous! i've always been a bit confused at one aspect though- why did most of the staff keep Grace Poole's occupation a secret from Jane in particular? I can't quite remember if this was explained in the book, not sure that it was.

[MsSilentia]

@roxyqueen2

They were told to keep it secret. Rochester feared he would never have a governess to stay otherwise. The did not know who the mad woman was, though.

But I think he was playing a desperate game in making Jane his secret help. If it was known that the woman had got out and set a fire or had stabbed a visitor, then he would probably have a troubble whith keeping any servants at all.

[lostinmagic67]

Aww bless Sophie and Adele, they are so sweet!

[ClarinetMadeofSteele]

@gaeilgedreamer I sometimes think that the two things are similar despite the emphasis that's put on Jane's plainness. Mostly because in the book, you can see her perception of beauty changing. Rochester's and her own.

[liveLibya]

Miss Ingram was described in the book as she has dark hair not blond :/

[anisete46]

Loved the scene in the book of her drawing the 2 portraits... in fact, much as I like the different film versions, I will always prefer the novel...

[MsSilentia]

@anisete46

Yes the novel is fantastic! But what will work in a novel and what will work on screen is not quite the same. They are two very different kinds of media. And I think every screenwriter has problems with Jane Eyre. There is so much going on just inside her head and heart.

[ParamoreMyMuse13]

I'm sorry, that was mean. She's not ugly. I just wanted to know why they made her eyebrows like that, it's driving me crazy. : /

[ParamoreMyMuse13]

That sounded mean...Sorry. She's not ugly, I'm just wondering why they made her eyebrows like that, it's driving me crazy. : /

[ParamoreMyMuse13]

Why are her eyebrows like that? I thought she was supposed to look plain- not ugly. She would look plain but fine with normal eyebrows... unless those are the actresses eyebrows, altho they dont look natural... Does anyone kno whats up with em?

[pinkrayban]

hahaha the way the french girl pronounces "Rochester" hahahah :))

[wendyandpeterpan711]

I know I am being SO very petty but Lady Blanche (Ingrim) had deep black curls in the book - they were described so very often and with such pretty detail that when I saw the blonde I was slightly sad.

[Bugginlupita]

@wendyandpeterpan711 Believe me, you are not alone that sentiment. I too expected a tall dark curled Lady. But I think they made Miss Ingram blond and delicate looking to further spotlight Jane's aesthetic "short comings" when compared to Ms Ingram.

[anisete46]

@wendyandpeterpan711 Absolutely .....

[19lharas]

I wonder what the actress thought when she saw the "ugly" painting of herself. You have to admit that, although Ruth Wilson may be very pretty, that painting made her look not only unattractive but also perhaps a little mentally defect. not her best side:P

[adiosenpaifan]

when Miss Fairfax tells Jane Mr. Rochester has left, i couldn't quite help but think Jane saying in her head..."Nice, he leaves now that i love him"

[Gingers272]

Ruth wilson is so beautiful...that fresh, dewy complexion, the youthful eyebrows and the gorgeous eyes...what a perfect choice for Jane Eyre!

[JUKIO01]

i think jane is going crazy, i think she was the one that set the fire to the bed

[vivascargill]

@JUKIO01 no Bronte set it--she wrote the book! but you are right in a way----curious how people who get in her way get into trouble

[CristinaBellex]

did society back then consider a blonde woman the most beautiful?.. pssh i mean look at ARWEN (no comparison ) but she was far more beautiful than EOWYN

just wondering.

[mychemfreak246]

I think the whole scene of Jane trying to paint a beautiful Blanche to remind herself of how ugly she is doesn't work because Jane isn't ugly in the first place :S If anything, more beautiful than Blanche!

[vivascargill]

@mychemfreak246 absolutely and true in all productions starting with the Joan Fontaine one in 1047 I think--don't trust her!!

[vivascargill]

@mychemfreak246 oops 1947!!

[Rachulie]

this chick aint jane eyre. she always was bitching about being ugly. she aint ugly she just got a fat face

[MsMixis]

@Rachulie A fat face?

[Rachulie]

@MsMixis that' what i said

[MsMixis]

@Rachulie I am aware of that but can you describe a fat face?

[Rachulie]

@MsMixis a face that is fat. it seems like a pretty easy thing to understand doesn't it?

[copnite12342]

ingram is'nt so pretty, to me.

[MsMello7]

I love the way Adèle says "bored". :D

[niroontjuh]

I do think it's a little strange why Blanche is blond while in the book there's said she has raven black hair ?

Blonds do have more fun ;)

[copnite12342]

yep.

[Courtney94x]

even though rochester is described as ugly in the book, well not a hottie ;) i i have never actually imagined him ugly :S same with jane. I imagine them both plain, but not ugly.

[Celeste288]

yeah same here

[inulovr]

i thnk hes pretty smexy in the movie :P

[BusyBeingFabulous]

" Or he will go to your room and brings you down himself " mm. I would ve waited in my room to let him come to me himself hehe.

[dancer3346]

@BusyBeingFabulous Me Too.

[BusyBeingFabulous]

I like Miss Blanch Ingram's purple outfit and hat so much.

[ThreeWordsFirstWord]

shame that old bitch is in such a lovely outfit!

[MinnaWinchester]

how women back then rode side saddle is beyond me! I could never master it for some reason lol

[kenp3L]

"Once he left us for a whole year under water."

What??

[polkadotpolka123]

haha! no, she says "a whole year AND A QUARTER!" though i must admit, i did think that she had said that at first.

[Serenityluver]

LOL. A whole year Under Water! OMG! Not there! Heehee. You made my day.

[SaraNes96]

I do love the fashion wear of the men those days especially what rochester is wearing.

[Amica93]

omgers! grace poole is played by the same actress who played miss trunchbull in matilda.

[twilightfan4eva1]

and caroline bingley in lost in austen

[1o951o8]

Adele looks exactly like one of my French-Canadian friends! except my friend is way older, but still very similar, haha

[MiakoKoneo]

What stunning handwriting at 3:04! I would love to have that as my own....

[mustanglover12]

I think Jane's self-portrait is much prettier than her painting of Blanche.

[avalon2468]

i dont know about blanch ingram but id be happy for a small fortune!!!!!!

[twilightfan4eva1]

the woman who plays blanche always seems to play mean or snobby characters

[AngelOfMusic144]

prime examples being the stepdaughter in what a girl wants and mrs. elton in the new version of emma....but she does a fabulous job :P some people are just made for those roles, i guess!

[jla9180]

Blanche is supposed to look glamorous- in Charlotte Bronte's time, glamorous meant tall and stately, and dark complected. In our time (in England and America, anyway), glamorous means something different, and I think the actress they cast has the right physical look for the character.

[lindsayinwonderland]

How does Jane know Blanch's appearance so soon?

[missjiggy33]

Wow, I think the self portrait of Jane Eyre was very striking! She looks beautiful, in a sad, haunting way.

[AngelOfMusic144]

adele is cute but wayy too old. and blanche is all wrong. but that's okay. toby stephens makes up for it all :}

[TeamRhett]

@AngelOfMusic144 AMEN TO THAT! <3
