I am hip and with it and have just seen the most recent film adaptation of Jane Eyre.
Now, I am really intimately familiar with the story of Jane Eyre, thanks to being in a stage production when I was young, and going to see revivals of that production in the years afterwards. As a result, I didn't have to expend much brainpower on following the plot, and was free to think about things like:
- They clearly had a short window for filming exterior shots at 'Thornfield' because no matter what time of year it's supposed to be, it looks like late March
- Jamie Bell and Lee Ingleby should star in a movie about the Doleful Muttonchop Brothers (I'd go see it)
- Is that supposed to be a chestnut tree? Also that wide shot is totally CG. Very funny.
- Where have I seen that actor before? (I'd say this took about 50% of my brainpower; I was wrong nearly every time)
Anyway, it was beautifully shot, which is really all I signed up for, but the acting left something to be desired. ( Rambling, and some Doodles )
