These movies always start off well with the portrayal of Jane's early life, then it's all shot to hell with the rest of the film. Unlike other period dramas, Jane Eyre is simply impossible to adapt into a 100 min movie. There's just too much going on and the characters are too complex to convey in such a short time.
She's too old for the part now but I actually think Anna Paquin could've been a brilliant Jane (and not as a child :) )
noooooooooooo my stupid self just HAD to go look up a trailer for a jane eyre movie while in the middle of reading the book and now there's parts of the book i haven't reached that i've just (sorta) witnessed. UGH why do i do this to myself :[[
exactly the same thing happened to me right now, i just finished 1/3 of the book and got to the good part, now i even know the end, how stupid of me to spoil the story :(
oh well, ill still finish the book !
and did you look up her 2 sisters books? Emily and Alice Bronte. Try Wuthering Hights, its a very difficult book but the story is amazing !!
@lovlyanime LOL yeah i still finished reading the book too~!
oh and no i haven't searched for their books but i'll take a look at wuthering heights (when school actually gives me some time for myself hah). thanks for the recommendation :)
JANE EYRE HAS BEEN MY FAVOURITE NOVEL EVER SINCE I WAS LITTLE.I CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER HOW MANY TIMES I READ IT.JANE AND ROCHESTER SHARE SUCH A BIG PASSION THAT I'M AFRAID THIS VERSION IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE STORIE'S
POWERFUL ROMANCE.IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN 1983'S ADAPTATION,YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING!THE SETTINGS MAY BE POOR TO OUR TIME BUT THE ACTING BY TIMOTHY DALTON SO VIVID AND PASSIONATE.IT'S LIKE READING THE BOOK ONCE AGAIN.I STRONGLY RECOMEND IT TO ALL THE JANE EYRE FANS!
i just read the book again, and I can STILL say without a doubt its the only romance i've ever gotten into. This book is a must read, and the movie is nearly as good.
I really don't see the point in remaking this movie... there's been SO many versions, they are pretty much all the same. I mean, the story is there, there's not much to change.
Definitely my favorite version! Although it is an abridged version of the book, I believe it did justice to the Brontë's text both in mood, characters and timeframe. Charlotte Gainsbourg was a believable plain but intelligent Jane and Wiliam Hunt gave enough weight to the forceful and domineering Rochester.
Adoro il Bellissimo e Grandissimo film 1996 diretto dal grande Franco Zeffirelli.Ho trovato i personaggi e interpreti perfetti per i ruoli assegnati! Un film romantico ma allo stesso realista e freddo con quei modi di rispetto e eleganza che comuna i racconti dell'epoca. Spero che questo ultimo film del 2011 sia all'altezza del libro e del precedente film del 1996:) Non vedo l'ora di vederlo!
@zuzuwbx same here. i just finished watching it a few min ago, but realized this was the adaptation i was actually looking for. in this version, i think she [charlotte?] resembles more Bronte's JE but i love how Ruth Wilson potrayed her. the BBC one really gave life to the book. im looking forward to the Fassbender-Mia W. film; but the BBC adaptation will forever be my fave now.
I have to say, this one gets the casting right (comparatively). Rochester is old and ugly just like he was in the book. Jane is not "plain" but not very pretty either.
@euphoryajc i dont think he is ugly; Jane has a very "high" regards for beauty. this topic brings me back to my university days. this is a fave topic in my English Lit class. :p
why is he so old! i imagined jane a bit older and rochester like..only..6-8 years older but this is like ..tooo old that it's kinda wrong :/ the storyline is great ofcourse but im disappointed by the casting
@janeyunpark95, in the book, Jane is 18 when she first goes to Thornfield and Mr. Rochester is "nearly forty." There are 20 years between the two of them.
i never seen the old verion of jane eyre but it looks really good, and i recenly saw the new trailer verion of the movie it's look good...but i stil looove the book XD
i cannot watch this movie!!! Gross!!! I have seen other versions and read the book, but in this one Jane looks like she is 14 yrs old and Rochester is not a young looking 35-40 yr old. it just looks disgusting!!
how come mr Rochester iis never good looking? i mean seriously i know Jane is suppposed to be plain but does Mr Rochester have to be so goddamn ugly??? i'm really pissed off about that cause most of these periodic novels usually have a handsome hero........why does the trend have to be so spoiled???
@tarisone Are u BLIND?! William Hurt looks darn good for his age man! He is the sexiest Rochester (apart from Stephens in teh 2006 adaptation) that they have ever choosen!!!
Young Anna Paquin shows so much promise as an actress... I hope after True Blood she can get out there and prove she can play better and more challenging roles.
I don't like how most movies/miniseries portray Jane Eyre. They make it all about the love story when that's really almost secondary to the major theme of moral redemption. The love story is the means to that end, and so few get it right. That's why the 1980s version with Zelah Clark and Timothy Dalton is still my favorite. I didn't like the 2006 version. Besides the above complaint, I thought the characterization of Rochestor was way off.
@frostdiamond1 On the contrary the Mr Rochester in the 2006 version is my favourite, I can't stand Timothy Dalton. But I agree with you about the themes of Jane Eyre - the romance always seems to take the main focus in the adaptations when really it should be equal with moral redemption.
But it's funny how fans can both and agree and disagree isn't :)
@skulblaka92 I can see why, as, in a sense, the 2006 Rochestor is the most likable. Stevens gave him a very casual air and played up the jokester side of him. However, Rochestor's not really SUPPOSED to be likable--he's a surly, moody baby, even though we females moan over him. ;D And yet, the reader can't help but hope he'll improve. I didn't think Stevens translated his tortured state well. My main complaint is he made him too happy. He was able to escape his troubles too completely.
@frostdiamond1 Hmmm... I kind of see what you're saying, maybe he's more popular because we like that teasing side of him. But I don't think he's 'too happy' he shows the tortured state very well, just in a different way to the other actors. I can see how Dalton plays the tortured side more, he's almost mad - wailing with grief when Jane is leaving. But he also plays a happier side too. He wasn't very moody or snappy, and heck he smiles sooooooo much more.
@frostdiamond1 Sorry for two replies but Youtube doesn't leave enough space for my answer lol. All I wanted to say on the end of the other reply is that I understand that Mr Rochester isn't supposed to be likable. I didn't like him at first, he was such a moody git lol ;) But I think his fans are the people who, like Jane, can see past it all to the tortured soul inside. He needs some love bless him :D
I do not like this "Jane". Yes, Jane should be plain and not pretty, but I cannot stand how little emotions or feelings she can show in her acting. Watch "Jane" by Ruth Wilson (2006).
I do not like this "Jane". Yes, Jane should be plain and not pretty, but I cannot stand how little emotions or feelings she can show in her acting. Watch "Jane" by Ruth Wilson (2006).
I have read the book, and seen the 2006 version. This is bullshit, no feeling what so ever for this pile of hollywood dogshit, and the proposal scene....... those who have read the book knows that adult jane is calm and in control of her feelings. This version of jane is a zombie. why dont they let anna paquin play the grow up part to, she looks older. Fuck, the producers in this film produced Seinfeld.
I really didn't like this version. I've tried, but I just can't because William Hurt didn't portray Mr. Rochester right...he wasn't nearly moody or dark enough! The emotions were all off!
Right now i am reading wuthering heights by charlottes sister and i am happy to say that by this trailer it seems that fantastic love plots run in the family :)
I did not remember that Anna Paquin was young Jane eyre in this movie. In fact I see this one as one of the weaker adaptations my almost top favorite book ever. Franco Zeffirelli was not in his best shape.
after sein this trailer I wont b watchin this version, I av jus finished watchin the 2006 adaptation and it was superb I av 2 say and I cant wait 2go out and get the book now 2 read 2 compare and c wot was left out and how it differs. I think Ruth Wilson plays a brill J E but I guess I'll only really get it when iv read the book and cant wait. Im gona watch the 80s version now I think. Im not usually 4 this kind of saga but this really moved me!
I really tried to like this version when I saw it. It was horrible; I can't believe this is the best they could do with a theatrical release. Charlotte Gainsbough seems not so much repressed as JE should be, but angry throughout and William Hurt seems half asleep. If you've read the book, it's completely wrong....JaneEyreFan is right; the trailer is better than the film.
@missbabyice I agree. I think this is better than the 2006 portrayal though that version is probably the most accurate. I just think this is better than the others. It's my personal favourite.
There is an old 1983 version with Timothy Dalton, and oh my goodness, it is good!! The only thing is, it is extremely long and very dramatic, so if you're not into that, you might not care for it. But personally, I would say it's worth it!
o all right i didn't know that was BBC too. I saw this version one time, because I heard it was the best one, but I didn't like it at all. It was too - well, I don't know, It didn't seem real. No one in the 19 century would have talked like that, even if it like that in the book.
For comparing I buyed the 2006 version and I think this is the best of all. But that's a taste thing.
@ lonelyleaf, lol, I do not understand why the people who have watched it are drooling over the Mr. Rochester in that version. I think that this Mr. Rochester fits the character better.
@Liisamyts Well thats the idea, Rochester was 20 years older than Jane after all!! Honestly this is my favorite but only because CG gives the aspect absolutley, I cant stand at the 2006 version cuz Ruth looks not like Charlotte, she and Toby are too handsome for the role, but better actors...OMG If only we could fus the 3 versions...
Jane Eyre sucks. I don't care if it was revolutionary, it should only be used as toilet paper, and sparingly, because it will bore your butthole to death. Here is a basic summary of the book: "Oh Rochester, I want you but you have a crazy wife in the attic. I need money and for my husband to be paraplegic before I feel equal to him because I'm a woman. Blah blah Britain has crap weather blah God Blah." Save a few hours of your life and do something more pleasant like eat angry camel spiders.
melinat2 that is the most brilliant and hilarious post ever. i loved jane eyre but i had a good laugh at work while reading this, uugh way to go. cheers.
The book "Jane Eyre" is superb!!! You'll love it - Charlotte Bronte was a writer ahead of her time to be sure. This book is probably my favourite of the classics.
It is perfect as you must have found out by yourself. Since your question was put a week ago and most readers read that book in 1 or 2 days you must have finished it. Share your opinions then!
Yes Anna Paquin is the best young Jane Eyre I have seen. So passionate and determined. This is probably the best element of this adaptation. Hurt is miles away from Charlotte Bronte's dark passionate Rochester. Gainsbourg is too shadowy too.
Hello! You can go to ''Watch movies online'' (google it, cause youtube don't allow me to post the link) and search for Jane Eyre. You can choose in which host you wanna watch it, and tudou is one of them.
There's also a bunch of others movies there of all genres!
its just tudou . com... its all in chinese, but a large amount of their videos are in english, and they have a lot of full movies, just put what you want in the search box (most have chinese subtitles though, lol)
but if you see my account you can go to my playlist and choose janeeyre. i gathered there all the scenes i found for this movIe on you tube and arranged it in order as i can remember so you can watch may be about 30 min of movie scenes. its all i have.

There is an old 1983 version with Timothy Dalton, and oh my goodness, it is good!! The only thing is, it is extremely long and very dramatic, so if you're not into that, you might not care for it. But personally, I would say it's worth it!

o all right i didn't know that was BBC too. I saw this version one time, because I heard it was the best one, but I didn't like it at all. It was too - well, I don't know, It didn't seem real. No one in the 19 century would have talked like that, even if it like that in the book.
For comparing I buyed the 2006 version and I think this is the best of all. But that's a taste thing.

what is the rating on this? is it a clean movie?
Hymns4ThePilgrims 2 years ago
Yes It's most likely PG.
milly2011 2 years ago
if i recall it's cleaner than the more recent BBC version. it's as clean as Jane Eyre can be- i mean, there is a lot of innuendo in the book.

I think that this Jane seems too young .. Next to Mr. Rochester.
I know that Jane was young, but when I see these two kissing.. Seems like she's only a kid ...
I love the 2006 version more...
Liisamyts 2 years ago
I think the 2006 doesnt match the book much, Jane doesnt seem like a plain tiny girl, and Mr.R is not that handsome lolz :P, just my opinion though.

@ lonelyleaf, lol, I do not understand why the people who have watched it are drooling over the Mr. Rochester in that version. I think that this Mr. Rochester fits the character better.

She's supposed to be 18, small, and childlike. The other "Janes" seemed too tall for the role.

@SportHorse10: I agree! But Charlotte's perfect as Jane!
sandra1731 2 years ago
@Liisamyts Well thats the idea, Rochester was 20 years older than Jane after all!! Honestly this is my favorite but only because CG gives the aspect absolutley, I cant stand at the 2006 version cuz Ruth looks not like Charlotte, she and Toby are too handsome for the role, but better actors...OMG If only we could fus the 3 versions...

Jane Eyre sucks. I don't care if it was revolutionary, it should only be used as toilet paper, and sparingly, because it will bore your butthole to death. Here is a basic summary of the book: "Oh Rochester, I want you but you have a crazy wife in the attic. I need money and for my husband to be paraplegic before I feel equal to him because I'm a woman. Blah blah Britain has crap weather blah God Blah." Save a few hours of your life and do something more pleasant like eat angry camel spiders.

The book "Jane Eyre" is superb!!! You'll love it - Charlotte Bronte was a writer ahead of her time to be sure. This book is probably my favourite of the classics.
Enjoy!

It is perfect as you must have found out by yourself. Since your question was put a week ago and most readers read that book in 1 or 2 days you must have finished it. Share your opinions then!

Yes Anna Paquin is the best young Jane Eyre I have seen. So passionate and determined. This is probably the best element of this adaptation. Hurt is miles away from Charlotte Bronte's dark passionate Rochester. Gainsbourg is too shadowy too.

Hello! You can go to ''Watch movies online'' (google it, cause youtube don't allow me to post the link) and search for Jane Eyre. You can choose in which host you wanna watch it, and tudou is one of them.
There's also a bunch of others movies there of all genres!
