I always enjoyed this version most of all. We all have different images of how characters should be portrayed. That's why it's a wonderful thing that so many different versions are available to us. (2006 was wonderful too, but 1996 is my all-time favorite)...
This is my favourite version of Jane Eyre. Watched it for the first time in 2008 for English Lit. class. Everyone except for a few inattentive blokes cried when Helen died in Jane's arms. :,-( I'm now catching up on the 2006 BBC serial, and am disappointed they cut off much of the Jane/Helen scenario; the Mr Rochester in that version is marvellous, though.
@Seddius It's not bad, but I still think the 1943 b/w version is the best with Peggy Anne Garner and the already dazzlingly beautiful Liz Taylor as Jane and Helen respectively - a real tear-jerker! Orson Welles was also the best Rochester ever, not really ugly as described in the book, but unconventionally handsome, vaguely reminiscent of a well-bred boxer dog. The older Jane was played by the very appealing Joan Fontaine, rather too good-looking for the rôle, but that's Hollywood.
Part 2, 5:11 and 5:20 Helen is so beautiful with her long red hair in a serene sort of way. Hard to notice with those awful bonnets... Glad they thought to put this scene in a movie, which wasn`t in a book.
I always liked to draw and remember that I wanted to draw a portrait of my friend back when I was in school...
I haven`t seen the whole movie, just a trailer and Part 2 so far, also I watched trailers to other Jane Eyre versions (`guess there are 7 or so this far starting with 1933) and this 1996 version with Charlotte Gainsbourg and Anna Paquin seems to be PERFECT!
I read the book and this movie has just the right feeling. Some parts were changed and it works even better. The scene with the hair is just great! Jane shows real strength of spirit and friendship.
@unibrowicorn Nop, actually he was implementing this principle of his which was: ((mortifying the body from its lusts)) in a way to be a good Christian, and he was treating those girls badly, but on the other way he was living a luxurious life with his family on the charity money that was meant to be for this school... Read the novel and you'll know how bad this freak is!!!
@daredevildeanbodom I have read the book,but it was 2+ years ago,so I don't remember all the details. I'm not defending Brocklehurst, I just didn't think he was a priest,that's all.Keep yer shirt on.:]
You know the teacher that was nice to Helen and Jane played Anne on "Persuasion". I loved her on that movie, and I love her on this movie too. I'm glad at least someone was nice to them.
I am reading this book for english and decided to watch the movie to help me along in it, could any one tell me if this movie is a good representation of the book, or is different? Thanks!
@LaughLiveLove4 There are different versions of the movie this one and one made a year after in 1997 but the one that resembles the book a little more i think is the one made in 2002 BBC series with Ruth Wilson playing Jane Eyre but it's your choice
not trying to be a trouble maker or anything but if helen died of consumption which is also known as TB which is spread airborne meaning by coughing sneezing etc. how did none of the other girls mostly jane not catch it being in such close contact with her? i always question that..
It is possible that large numbers of the girls had TB for years, at varying levels of infection.
Before antibiotics, TB was known as the white plague, and until well into the 1930s, millions of Europeans were afflicted with it (and a million died every year).
Jane may simply have had a stronger resistance to the disease. Like when the great Spanish 'flu hit - some people just didn't catch it.
I'm not sure this vid is a shortened version.... there are some scenes missing from Lowood and her schooling, drawing... and her notification of her departure.
I tihnk they just took a few liberties with the story- however, they left out the fact that Brocklehurst's hypocrisy and neglect were punished. They should have kept that in.
Oh yes! Me, too! I'm so grateful to find this production in particular. It was so fantastic when I first saw it in '96! I'd no idea then of course...been yearning to 'discover' it ever since!
So sweet so poignant. Bless Charlotte Bronte` -- YouTube -- & OshunHH! Yay!
That disgusting man! if people like that think they are going to heaven they are sorely mistaken! God HATES such people!! "cleanliness is next to Godliness" - wow really? and what is child abuse next to????....i wonder!!!!!!
Yes i know God loves everyone ,but thats not the point -scripture also makes it clear God takes child abuse very seriously, so much so that he said it is better you do away with yourself than to make a little one stumble!
@carolinesalv God doesn't hate even people like Brocklehurst, but he does hate the way he thinks and acts. It is terrible, the way some people thought in those days - and in fact, the way some still do.
@imasinnerimasaint Im not here to dispute.But i do know what im talking about ,i suffered at the hands of people like Brocklhurst for years and while i am still a christian (my personal decision ) i know from experience that such people cause a world of damage,and there will come a time when whether God loves them or not-they won't escape having to answer for their actions.
@carolinesalv Oh no, I totally agree with you there. I know they cause a lot of damage (look at the EBs, for instance), and just because God loves them (which he does) doesn't mean they won't have to answer for their actions - because whatever they might say, they don't love God. They do things in His name, but eventually God will say - you don't know Me. I am just as sickened by Brocklehurst and people like him as you are, believe me.
I'm a Christian, and I believe that the world has fallen into sin. That's why there's so much evil in the world. We're all sinful, and completely unable to save ourselves or rid the world of that sin. But in Jesus there is hope and salvation from the sin that we can't get rid of ourselves! That's surely a comforting thought! :-)
@islandsylph Wherever I am, Jesus is there with me. He is so a part of my life, and I won't leave home without Him. I too enjoyed the film. I am sure you can too. Just don't read my comments.
@missyadams You're absolutely right! I never knew a lovelier bond between two sisters anywhere than that of Jo and Beth! June Allyson and Margaret O'Brien were my perfect Jo and Beth ... wasn't so keen on Winona Ryder and Clare Danes.
