"I give you my word, I wouldn't touch you" as he's literally almost on top of her. Uh-huh, real convincing Edward.

Seriously though, this scene... myyyy goodness. I would've said yes.

Charlotte Bronte would be shocked at this scene

@turquelle I don't think the issue is sex, I think it is the fact that Rochester is married and it is inappropriate for Jane Eyre to be lying in bed and kissing him like that. A lot of people don't condone adultery and there is a good chance Charlotte Bronte would be the kind of person who felt that way. I mean, she does write Jane Eyre to have a strong sense of morality, so that must be important to her.

[turquelle]

@missyadams oh please! just because she didn't write it, doesn't mean she didn't think it.

@jxc123 TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU. You can't watch this and simply go "that's hot!" like you said. The love between them is more internal...

[headoverheels]

@atyleung06 I completely agree. I don't see Jane putting herself in this position and laying down on a bed with Rochester. I mean come on, who would do that after finding out their intended betrothed is already married? The 2011 scene is far more realistic.

Jane Eyre 2011 was the worst version i have seen! i understand its a movie, so it must be shorter, leaving a lot of details out. but it was so DEPRESSING. its as if Jane Eyre was lifeless! And it had no passionate romance! it was just bad! bad actress too!

[MissSophialovesnow]

i hope i meet a Mr Rochester one day x

I can't choose my favorite version of Jane eyre, but I have to say when it comes to chemistry between the actors, this one is defiantly the best.

[NYXitup]

so it's all passionate...and then she leaves. oh great.

What is the name of the song in the background?

How can anyone prefer other versions to the 2006 BBC? :)

The 1983 is truer to the book in terms of dialogue no doubt, but then the book is so passionate even erotic at times, and the 1983 is so cold... sad even.

(I also hate the portrayal of Jane in the 1983 movie).

As for 2011, well, it was only ok. What bothered me most is the total lack of chemistry between the actors, which is crucial in an adaptation of Jane Eyre.
