DVD Reviews of Jane Eyre
DVD Review: An Excellent Movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
An excellent version of the very true story of a woman who is in each life of every individual. It is basically about her true spirit in a fight with life to keep going. The film is very vivid, right down to the furnishings in the room. The acting is very perfect in the way that the book describes that they felt. DVD Review: Terrible Representation
Summary: 1 Stars
I have read the book "Jane Eyre" multiple times, it is, in fact, my favorite book. At first, I thought that the movie had done a pretty good job of portraying the story, however, as it got further into it, they took several liberties that were absolutely ridiculous. They changed things that it was unnecessary to change, such as when and how Jane met St. John Rivers. If you love the book as I do, I would absolutely not suggest watching this movie.DVD Review: Too Short to Do the Book Justice
Summary: 2 Stars
Although the movie was well done, because the movie was under 1 1/2 hours, it did not do the book justice at all. There wasn't enough time for character development between Jane and Mr. Rochester so when they said they loved each other, it just didn't seem believable. DVD Review: Boring, don't bother
Summary: 1 Stars
Nothing in the book implied that Jane was sickly looking. No romance, no heat, no passion. Boring. Tepid at best. Jane is supposed to be plain looking, not like she has a perpetual cold. It failed to capture Jane's intelligence. and the scene up in the attic after the wedding... what was that! This is a terrible rendition of the book. it's my better in my head!DVD Review: THORNFIELD IN AUTUMN, WHERE LOVE BEGINS!
Summary: 4 Stars
I LOVE ALL THE JANE EYRE MOVIES,THAT I HAVE SEEN, BUT THIS ONE ,HAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ,OUTDOOR SCENERY, THORNFIELD IN AUTUMN, WITH ALL THOSE PRETTY, FALL COLORS, AWESOME! THORNFIELD IN AUTUMN ,IS THE PERFECT PLACE FOR JANE TO MEET MR. EDWARD R., BUT I JUST WISHED THAT THE MOVIE LASTED LONGER! AND THAT JANE, AND EDWARD WOULD HAVE TAKEN, MORE WALKS TOGETHER! BUT I LOVED THE MOVIE ANYWAY! AND THORNFIELD IN AUTUMN ,JUST BLEW ME AWAY, IT WAS BREATHTAKING! I COULD NOT WAIT TO GET THIS MOVIE ON DVD. AND AMAZON.COM HAD IT! I ALSO LOVED THE PRETTY ROOMS OF THORNFIELD, AND THE DVD, THAT I RECEIVED, WAS HIGH QUALITY, THE PICTURE WAS SO CLEAR, I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THIS MOVIE, AND MY DVD!
Description of Jane Eyre
Academy Award(R)-winner William Hurt (1985 Best Actor -- KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN; SMOKE) leads an all-star cast in this story of passion and intrigue! Jane Eyre (Charlotte Gainsbourg) is a young woman whose will to overcome a life of hardship leads her into a passionate romance with a handsome -- and mysterious -- gentleman (Hurt). Swept up in the possibility of a happy new life, Jane is shattered when terrible, untold secrets from his past are revealed, threatening to tear her and her lover apart forever! Also featuring the talents of Anna Paquin (THE PIANO), Joan Plowright (ENCHANTED APRIL), and sexy Elle MacPherson (SIRENS), this enduring tale has captivated moviegoers everywhere, just as Charlotte Bronte's classic best-seller has entertained for generations!Franco Zeffirelli (Romeo and Juliet) and screenwriter Hugh Whitemore strip away a bit of the familiar romanticism of Charlotte Bront?'s novel and come up with a more plain but somehow quite interesting film adaptation. Charlotte Gainsbourg (The Cement Garden) makes for an oddly appealing but deliberately unlovely version of Jane (previous actresses have included Susannah York and Joan Fontaine), and William Hurt is excellent as an equally revised Rochester, brusque and self-involved but not the totem of torment and charisma we've seen before. The story clings to the usual chapters in the book, but with Zeffirelli shaping the principal characters to reflect their cautious perceptions of one another--rather than to a Hollywood notion of grand passion--the film has a wonderful accessibility. Great support from Joan Plowright, Billie Whitelaw, Anna Paquin, and the rest of the cast. --Tom Keogh
