the book is better than film

[bellatiini]

Yeah.. The original always is... But if you compare different film adaptions this is my absolute favorite. :)

Matthew has a deep and sensual voice. Expressive and beautiful eyes. Gentleman,handsome. Superstar.

[bellatiini]

Oh such praise! And he deserves it all too.. You pretty much took the words right out of my mouth! Thanks for the comment... ;)

That's so funny you mention that anything he says sounds beautiful.

I was discussing that with a friend the other day. He could be reading from one of my bio books, and I'd still swoon. ;-)

Ugh, he was just so yummy in this role, but the role got so little screentime, it makes me frustrated! I mean how long can you play those 3-4 good scenes over and over?! Well, let's find out...

The only good bits from this particular adaptation are the bits with Matthew. Otherwise, the movie sucks.

[2011stockholm]

Good Lord he was beautiful here. And that voice *melts*

[Tlongacre269]

@sassylatina808 My version of Wuthering Heights features footnotes in the back, any words thought to be confusing are numbered and well everything Joseph says is translated in the back as well. (XD I always read him out loud!)

As for a novel be rewritten... well I never really heard of that, all classic texts in Britain tend to be in the original writting now days (if an English language of course!) for example my Catcher in the Rye text is all American English (I'm British)

[sassylatina808]

I've never read the book before but I do love the movie & I've seen a few versions of them. Now, I was wondering if they have ever rewritten the classic novel to a more modern english. I have read Jane Austin's novels & they were alittle complicated since they were in british english. Anyways, I still read her novels & thank god they had the meanings in the back. I was just wondering about Wuthering Heights.

Bahh, I'll gladly kiss him :D
