Wuthering Heights

When I first saw this movie when I was a teenager, I was amazed at her straightforward humanity and crazy love, and I loved it. So I gave full marks in my heart and went to watch "Wuthering Heights".

Of course, when I finish watching "Wuthering Heights", I can no longer give her full marks.

The Wuthering Heights in the movie is much less contradictory and sharp than the novel. The relationship between Ellen and Kathy is too harmonious, the old housekeeper Joseph has also lost his curses and disgusting meanness, and the heroine Katherine's crazy, changeable, arrogant, paranoid and helpless three-dimensional sense It didn't show (compared to my goddess Vivien Leigh's wonderful performance in "Gone with the Wind", the heroine of the film is not as good).

The above is only partial, but it is enough to make me feel the lack of tension and conflict in the film Wuthering Heights.

But I still gave it four stars. At that time, when all the experience and conditions in the 1930s were still immature, a black and white film with only a hundred or so minutes still presented me with a more moving screen love.

Of course, it is fortunate that she is using such a great novel as a story.

    The brilliance of the original and the wonderful performance of the male lead are the highlights. The script, cinematography, and soundtrack are all textbook style of the era, undisturbed but lacking in surprises.

    Antique old film, it really has a cinematic feel to it.

Wuthering Heights quotes

  • Heathcliff: Tell the dirty stable boy to let go of you. He soiled your pretty dress. But who soiled your heart? Not Heathcliff. Who turns you into a vain, cheap, worldly fool? Linton does. You'll never love him, but you'll let yourself be loved because it pleases your stupid, greedy vanity.

  • Cathy: He seems to take pleasure in being mean and brutal. And yet, he's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same. And Linton's is as different as frost from fire... Ellen, I AM Heathcliff.

    [thunderbolt]

    Cathy: Everything he's suffered, I've suffered. The little happiness he's ever known, I've had too. Oh, Ellen, if everything in the world died and Heathcliff remained, life would still be full for me.
