LIZEDOMANI - Honors English 10: Jane Eyre
Wednesday, November 3, 2010
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+.

Nice post :). I agree with what you said about how the director made a few mistakes. Though I think he did a fantastic job because he put most of the main points for a movie that lasted only less than an hour. I do think that his take on the movie was interesting because we got to see how he interprets what he read in a book to on screen; where actors can take what was written to a whole new level.
ReplyDeleteYou might both enjoy watching another adaptation sometime. There are much longer film versions with fewer omissions.
