He's all intensity and fire and barely simmering desire. hot diggetty dog, he is attractive while he does all that! Even despite his dreadful mustache and the silliest sideburns I've seen in many years, and some really unruly hair. He growls and he rants and he glares and. He's grumpy and he knows it, and he wants you to know it too. He has been wronged by life, he has a chip on his shoulder the size of one of Thornfield's towers, and he does not care a whit what anyone thinks of all that. But I'm okay with that, because all those cuts means there is more time to focus on the whole point of this version of the story: the relationship between Jane Eyre and Edward Rochester.Ĭiaran Hinds plays a much angrier Rochester than Michael Fassbender or Timothy Dalton. Second, it also trims the third section where Jane is off living with the Riverses - it even goes so far as to cut one of the Rivers sisters out, and totally removes the facts that Jane is their cousin and that she inherits money from their mutual uncle. (EDIT: After thinking about it while falling asleep last night, I've decided I like this one better than the 2011.)įirst off, it trims down the first section of the book into a couple of short scenes that show us that young Jane is imaginative, starved for love, intelligent, and possessing a keen sense of right and wrong. Which means that the 1983 is still my favorite. I'm not saying I love it, mind you - I think I like it about as well as the 2011 version. So I approached it kind of apprehensively, fearful that it would butcher my favorite story, and that I'd be disappointed in both Ciaran and the movie. But I've also read a ton of reviews of this version that said it was terrible. But anyway, ever since I watched Persuasion a couple months ago, I've been eager to see Ciaran Hinds play Mr. I'm also crushing on Ewan McGregor again, and you'll see him mentioned a lot in the next few weeks too, I'm sure. I've been having a bit of a Spring Fling with Ciaran Hinds, in case you haven't noticed that he's popped up several times lately.
Obviously, or I'd have watched the whole thing in one swoop the first time, right? Not that I'd mind, but I don't really have the time right now.
I finished the last twenty minutes tonight, and I'm so glad I made a few tiny notes here and there, or I'd have to watch the whole thing over to review it properly. So, I watched this over a period of three weeks, which is not at all ideal.
