Taken alone, simply as a film, it is a masterpiece.

I think people dislike it because they're comparing it to the book too much. I do think the 2011 version is the best, though. Each version is different and that's why I could watch all of them and say "Please make more!!" I've only seen two, but I never get tired of the story. Since it's my favorite book of all time, I will always look forward to watching and owning the next one. I think I will always enjoy watching new screen adaptations of this book just to see what new directors and actors do with it. He's WAAY too old and has NO ability to portray the true Rochester. I was between laughing, crying and gagging through most of it when I watched at the age of 15. So far, though, if I can boycott one version, I have to say it's the one with George C. Other than that, I liked it so much I've watched it about four times.

I've seen the Toby Stephens/Ruth Wilson version and enjoyed it, but I felt they took a few liberties that I didn't appreciate. So much unspoken emotion portrayed and the music is absolutely perfect. I also own the Michael Fassbender/Mia Wasowska version because, though it doesn't go in the exact order of the book, it's an incredibly well done adaptation, in my opinion. His drama is what I imagine when I first read the book. I find that Timothy Dalton mastered Rochester's mood swings very well. I own the Timothy Dalton/Zelah Clarke version and have watched it so many times now, that my DVD just recently started showing signs of wear.

Alas, these are the three things that Hurt's eyes - in this movie - are not.I've read the book so many times that I've lost track and I've seen all of or bits of many screen versions.
1944 JANE EYRE MOVIE FULL
Gainsbourg does have a bit of amended narration at the end when she talks about Hurt's 'eyeth' as being 'very large, brilliant and full of life'. Do we care a fig for THESE repressed lovers? Not this time around. This "Jane Eyre" sounds like it will be better than it looks until you're in the theatre and then it looks better than it sounds. Farifax and Billie Whitelaw has a few splendid but all-too brief sequences as Grace Poole. Charlotte Gainsbourg's Jane speaks with a constant lisp, which may not be as detectable in her many French film assignments, but it clearly eliminates the possibility of Jane's extended narrations, (The charismatic Amanda Root is in the same movie in a small role as Miss Temple: why couldn't SHE have played Jane opposite someone like Daniel Day Lewis.)Įlle McPherson's Blanche Ingram is reduced to a walk-on bit, ditto Maria Schnieder as Rochester's mad first wife. His interpretation, too, throws the film off-balance: aside from a self-conscious scowl, he seems entirely disinterested in Jane or Thornfield or anything. Rochester who owes more to Elmer Fudd than Orson Welles. William Hurt may look like the subject of an early daguerreotype, but the instant he opens his mouth, we get to hear a Mr. Does this 1847 saga by Charlotte Bronte have anything new to say to the audiences of 1996? Director Franco Zeffirelli clearly thinks so and his latest movie is a fairly faithful adaptation marred by serious miscasting. Clearly, there is no shortage of Jane Eyres and Edward Rochesters in this century. When we want to see "Jane Eyre", we can buy the 1934 version from Sinister Cinema or we can rent the 1944 all-star classic from Fox Video or we can watch the 1970 telefeature that turns up every so often on double-digit UHF channels or we can plow through all six hours of the 1983 PBS miniseries.
