The Grand Passion Is Alive and Well

Advantages: All of it
Disadvantages: None

...cruel Mr Brocklehurst. Here Jane learns to quieten her passionate nature, and aged 16, becomes a teacher there herself. At age 18 she advertises for a new position. Thus begins the greatest romance in literature.

For those unacquainted with the rest of the story, and trying not to give too much away, here is a synopsis:
Jane starts working as a governess in Mr Rochester’s employ. She and Mr Rochester fall in love. On their wedding ...
...is the ‘giggling scene’ where Jane refuses to return her salary. It wasn’t scripted that they should laugh and both found it difficult to keep their faces straight - and you’ll find yourself doing the same.

It’s hard to find fault with this version, although there are a few differences to the book. For example, Jane is shown seeing Mr Rochester on his first return home - it was in fact next day when she did. It could also be considered ... more

Advantages: Beautiful film!
Disadvantages: Nothing

...sisters - in particular, Charlotte. Jane Eyre is probably her most well-known work, and so it's not surprising that there have been several versions of it made on film. But out of all of them, the one that I've been able to watch straight through, enraptured at every moment, has been this version, with Charlotte Gainsborough and William Hurt. I can't officially compare it to the other versions since I haven't seen them in their entirety (though now ...
...synopsis of the story - Jane Eyre is a young girl living with her nightmare aunt who treats her terribly, and ends up sending her to a boarding school. Young Jane is portrayed by Anna Paquin, who does it brilliantly. The loathing for her aunt, her innocence (though accused of so much), and at last her love and loyalty to her only friend Helen Burns - suffice it to say, the movie starts out on the right foot. We're then taken to Jane as a young woman, ...

DO NOT waste your money!!

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Poorly told

...found Franco Zeffirelli's adaption of Jane Eyre very disappointing and believe that anybody else who loves the book would feel the same. The storyline, particularly the ending, is so rushed it feels as though you could blink and miss an important part. Seeing as the film is under 2 hours long, that's hardly surprising. A great work or literature shouldn't be condensed in such a way. It is irritatingly twee at times with a very 'happily ever after' ...
...which should be an indication of it's quality. If you want to see a decent adaptation of this classic then I'd suggest you buy the 2006 BBC version starring Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens who are both brilliant in it. It consists of 4 episodes each lasting an hour which gives the story line the depth it needs. ...

JANE EYRE- CLASSIC

Advantages: GREAT FILM AND STORY LINE
Disadvantages: NONE!

Jane Eyre- What can I say I love this film... Ever since this was on BBC on a Sunday night, I found myself hooked to it. I am youngish and I would never have thought I would have liked one of the Bronte tales, as this is what my Nan enjoys but I really enjoyed it that much I had to get the DVD version! The Novel Itself This is an adaptation of Charlotte Bronte's novel 'Jane Eyre'. This was a much loved classic and BBC provide this excellent version! Jane experienced childhood in a bad way as she was an orphan and she is desperate to have a new beginning. With a position available as a Governess available at Thornfield hall, Jane accepts this career and does not look back! She becomes a tutor for a young French girl who is lively and willing to do lot of different activities. She finds herself falling in love with the owner ...

Review of Jane Eyre (DVD)

Jane Eyre-A delight!

Advantages: great storyline, fantastic acting
Disadvantages: special features

Being a Charlotte Bronte and Jane Eyre fan I wasn't expecting it to appeal to me as much as it did. Another period drama to fill in an hour on a Sunday evening. Nevertheless, appealed to me it did. Jane Eyre. The classic story of a plain governess falling in love with the master of the house and vice versa. A tale which many a person could watch and read without getting tired off. With a simple background you could easily say what happens is all very obvious and predictable. However that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. This BBC adaption stars Toby Stephens ( son of Maggie Smith!) and Ruth Wilson. Both fitting their roles perfectly with Ruth portraying a deep emotive and modest Jane and Toby becoming the powerful and masculine Mr Rochester. The way he managed to show the character as a real emotional figure, reflecting ...

Advantages: Great acting, a real passionate atmosphere, good tension between main characters
Disadvantages: A lot of material has been cut out concerning Jane's ealry years

Hall, Brassed off) as Mrs Reed, and Georgie Henley (The lion, the witch and the wardrobe) as the young Jane Eyre. The novel has been adapted by Sandy Welch, who has previously written the screenplay for another BBC adaptation ?North and South? and directed by Susanna White (Bleak House). This DVD There have been many retellings of this world renowned novel, including the 1983 BBC adaptation staring Timothy Dalton and Zelah Clarke, and the 1996 film by Franco Zeffirelli staring Charlotte Gainsbourg and William Hurt. This adaptation includes many scenes that previous adaptations and films have left out, such as the gypsy scene. It is also more passionate than many others, with good sexual tension between the characters. Much of Jane?s childhood is skipped over in this version, which prevents you from seeing the formation of her ...
