The first film and television version I watched was the 1944 version of Qiong Fang Deng. At that time, I felt that Qiong Fang Deng was far away from my feeling, she was beautiful! Jane Eyre's Poor, Plain, Obsure, Little make it difficult for me to match the number. Probably because this version was filmed in Hollywood, too many box office factors were considered in the casting. After all, Joan Fontaine was already a well-known movie star who was nominated for many Oscars at that time. (Hollywood's "destruction" of classics is really endless. The most impressive is the 2001 version of "The Count of Monte Cristo", which has a happy ending to a Hollywood-style romantic comedy.)
In 2006, the BBC filmed a 4-episode miniature TV series "Jane Eyre". Regardless of the adaptation skills of the BBC's remake of a famous novel, first of all, the scene selection is full of British romance, whether it is the Austen-style English countryside or the Dickens-style London streets. So the 06 version of "Jane Eyre" took the picture very beautifully. (Think of the hit "Pride and Prejudice" that year.) Unexpectedly, the BBC launched the movie version of "Jane Eyre" again this year, once again upgrading the beauty of the picture to the extreme. Worth a visit just for the oil painting of the English countryside.
Let's talk about movies. In the choice of roles, Mia Wasikowska previously blocked a lot of popularity in the UK through the new version of "Alice in Wonderland". (The British people's pursuit of "magic" is really cute and puzzling.) This time, Jane Eyre's appearance completely subverted the image of a lively girl in Alice. appropriate. But in the performance of the role, Mia pays too much attention to interpreting Jane Eyre's simplicity and weakness, but ignores Jane Eyre's more important personality - she is independent, brave, honest, rebellious, with a cold appearance and a heart like fire! These are the real shocking factors behind love. The new version of Jane Eyre shows more of its apparent personality. At this point, the 2006 TV series version of Ruth Wilson is clearly more in place, and was nominated for a Golden Globe Award. As for Mr. Rochester, both the new version of Michael Fassbender and the 2006 version of Toby Stephens are a little "handsome". In Jane Eyre's description, Mr. Rochester is a bit "beast" ugly, wild and tyrannical. The 06 version is a little too sunny and humorous (even sarcastic), and the film version is too melancholy and cowardly.
Probably due to the limited time, the new version of the film uses a lot of flashbacks and interludes in the storytelling. The beginning of the story begins with Jane Eyre leaving Rochester to meet the Rivers brothers and sisters, and the subsequent development is intertwined with the previous memories; due to this interweaving, the relationship between Jane Eyre and Rochester seems to develop rapidly and messily, and the time limit is forced to give up many plots ; In addition, the director uses a lot of panoramic lenses and LOMO-like light and shadow effects, which makes the film too literary and artistic, but it seems that the characters are lacking. If you haven't read the original book, you will feel a bit baffling, too pursuing literary effects, and the sense of picture is stronger than the story-in fact, Jane Eyre is such a wonderful love story, and the characters of Jane Eyre and Rochester are so full.
