The emotions that Jane and Mr. Rochester had were extremely expressed during the scenes of their confessions and arguments. Jane's facial expressions during her departure of Thornfield brought insight into how torn she was between her feelings and her conscious.

After seeing the movie, Jane Eyre, I felt that the director did a descent job making the film but did not appreciate he/she taking out so many important scenes from the movie. For example, in the book Jane goes back to a blind Mr. Rochester with his hand cut off. In the movie, yes Mr. Rochester is blind but he still has his hand. To me that was a big mistake because the fact that Jane married Mr. Rochester blind, and with no hand was one of the reasons why Jane Eyre became such a famous book. Decisions like this, takes from the movie, in my opinion. Of course I think the choice of the cast was good. The people who played the characters of the book were pretty believable. If I were to rate this movie I'd give it a C+.

Mr. Rochester in the movie

            Mr. Rochester seems to be less manipulative and more open to wanting to share his feelings with Jane compared to the book. He displays his affection for Jane more readily in the movie. Mr. Rochester does not try as much to conceal his feelings for Jane than he does in the book. However, he does look just as unattractive as I had anticipated. He also acted just as cold as he was in the book.

Movie Expecations

            I had many expectations for the Jane Eyre movie. I expected Thornfield to be less castle-like as it is portrayed in the movie, but to look more like a mansion as it is described in the book. Another expectation that I had of the movie was that Mr. Rochester would be exactly the way he is described in the book. However, although the Mr. Rochester in the movie has the same physical features as the character, his voice sounds older than I thought it would have sounded. Another character that was different from what I expected them to be was Blanch Ingram. She did not look as pretty as I thought she would have been since Jane talked so highly of her appearance in the book. In the movie, Jane looked prettier than Blanche. These are just a few of the expectations that I had for the movie that were not met.
