Jane Eyre movie plot

Too passionate and straight-forward adaptation. Maggie Smith's son didn't expect to be so handsome, and it seems a little too suave to play Mr. Rochester. The heroine is actually not ugly, but when she speaks, she is ugly. The screenwriter added so many irrelevant characters that it was unnecessary.

An extremely glorified "gentle" version of Rochester. A little less rebellious, fickle, indifferent, Rochester, who has become a good man, is very romantic. The rest of the parts have been cut properly, and the adaptation is very good.

Jane Eyre: Hurry, Hannah. We must light the fires before they arrive.
Hannah: [to St.John] She wants fire in every room, in places where they never were.
Jane Eyre: What's the use of five thousands pounds if you can't light a few fires at Christmas?
St John Rivers: Twenty thousands.
Jane Eyre: St. John, I'll not hear another word. We've been over it again and again. Our uncle left a nephew and three nieces. We must all profit from his will equally.
St John Rivers: Jane, you've never had money. You do not know what use you may put it to.
Jane Eyre: And you've never been without family. I will have a brother and sisters, and a home.
St John Rivers: I'll be a brother to you, whether you share the money our uncle left you, you and only you, or not.
Jane Eyre: Leaving you with nothing, unable to realize your dreams and me with a fortune. I know enough about money to realize that will not make me happy
St John Rivers: What of the future? If you should marry?
Jane Eyre: I'll never marry.

St John Rivers: We sail in six weeks. We must make marriage preparations.
Jane Eyre: Why can we not travel as brother and sister? As equals?
St John Rivers: That would be impossible.
Jane Eyre: St. John, you do not love me.
St John Rivers: Love is not an ingredient in this matter.
[Jane turns away from him, thinking]
St John Rivers: I fear you have not forgotten your old association despite the harm he tried to do you.
Jane Eyre: I'll never see any of them again. But I owe a debt to my friends at Thornfield Hall. In many ways, I started my life there. I became Jane Eyre.
St John Rivers: God made Jane Eyre! You surely don't give this man Rochester any credit for that!
Jane Eyre: Of course not. I've always known myself. But he was the first to recognize me. And to love what he saw.
[long pause]
Jane Eyre: I'll give you your answer St. John soon, don't worry. And if I go with you that will be my decision. You'll have him to thank for that.
