Gotta love the sneer in Rochester's voice when he says "St. John Rivers" at 3:20 -- his dislike and jealousy of Rivers as a potential rival for Jane's affection is all too obvious.
I am in love with this movie . I saw it in my childhood ,when I was nine maybe . And now its so amazing to watch it again . Mr Rochester the man from my childhood ,I remember every line of his face. I think first person I look at so closely
Присоединяюсь. Мне было 16, когда показали этот фильм по ТВ. Потом читала книгу, потом переехала в Европу и смотрю фильм на немецком и английском. До сих пор люблю этот фильм и обожаю Тима и Зилу за эти роли!!!
@@cellowali2865 I think the wounds will give Rochester the chance to reflect on life so he can act less impulsively..and with Jane next to him he will find the happiness which goes beyond physical health. As for Timothy Dalton, we all know the make up comes off!
From the book: He is not my husband, nor ever will be. He does not love me: I do not love him. He loves (as he CAN love, and that is not as you love) a beautiful young lady called Rosamond. He wanted to marry me only because he thought I should make a suitable missionary's wife, which she would not have done. He is good and great, but severe; and, for me, cold as an iceberg. He is not like you, sir: I am not happy at his side, nor near him, nor with him. He has no indulgence for me--no fondness. He sees nothing attractive in me; not even youth--only a few useful mental points.--Then I must leave you, sir, to go to him?"I shuddered involuntarily, and clung instinctively closer to my blind but beloved master. He smiled."What, Jane! Is this true? Is such really the state of matters between you and Rivers?""Absolutely, sir! Oh, you need not be jealous! I wanted to tease you a little to make you less sad: I thought anger would be better than grief. But if you wish me to love you, could you but see how much I DO love you, you would be proud and content. All my heart is yours, sir: it belongs to you; and with you it would remain, were fate to exile the rest of me from your presence for ever."Again, as he kissed me, painful thoughts darkened his aspect. "My scared vision! My crippled strength!" he murmured regretfully.I caressed, in order to soothe him. I knew of what he was thinking, and wanted to speak for him, but dared not. As he turned aside his face a minute, I saw a tear slide from under the sealed eyelid, and trickle down the manly cheek. My heart swelled."I am no better than the old lightning-struck chestnut-tree in Thornfield orchard," he remarked ere long. "And what right would that ruin have to bid a budding woodbine cover its decay with freshness?""You are no ruin, sir--no lightning-struck tree: you are green and vigorous. Plants will grow about your roots, whether you ask them or not, because they take delight in your bountiful shadow; and as they grow they will lean towards you, and wind round you, because your strength offers them so safe a prop."Again he smiled: I gave him comfort."You speak of friends, Jane?" he asked."Yes, of friends," I answered rather hesitatingly: for I knew I meant more than friends, but could not tell what other word to employ. He helped me."Ah! Jane. But I want a wife.""Do you, sir?""Yes: is it news to you?""Of course: you said nothing about it before.""Is it unwelcome news?""That depends on circumstances, sir--on your choice.""Which you shall make for me, Jane. I will abide by your decision.""Choose then, sir--HER WHO LOVES YOU BEST.""I will at least choose--HER I LOVE BEST. Jane, will you marry me?""Yes, sir.""A poor blind man, whom you will have to lead about by the hand?""Yes, sir.""A crippled man, twenty years older than you, whom you will have to wait on?""Yes, sir.""Truly, Jane?""Most truly, sir.""Oh! my darling! God bless you and reward you!""Mr. Rochester, if ever I did a good deed in my life--if ever I thought a good thought--if ever I prayed a sincere and blameless prayer--if ever I wished a righteous wish,--I am rewarded now. To be your wife is, for me, to be as happy as I can be on earth.""Because you delight in sacrifice.""Sacrifice! What do I sacrifice? Famine for food, expectation for content. To be privileged to put my arms round what I value--to press my lips to what I love--to repose on what I trust: is that to make a sacrifice? If so, then certainly I delight in sacrifice.""And to bear with my infirmities, Jane: to overlook my deficiencies.""Which are none, sir, to me. I love you better now, when I can really be useful to you, than I did in your state of proud independence, when you disdained every part but that of the giver and protector.""Hitherto I have hated to be helped--to be led: henceforth, I feel I shall hate it no more. I did not like to put my hand into a hireling's, but it is pleasant to feel it circled by Jane's little fingers. I preferred utter loneliness to the constant attendance of servants; but Jane's soft ministry will be a perpetual joy. Jane suits me: do I suit her?""To the finest fibre of my nature, sir.""The case being so, we have nothing in the world to wait for: we must be married instantly."He looked and spoke with eagerness: his old impetuosity was rising."We must become one flesh without any delay, Jane: there is but the licence to get--then we marry.""Mr. Rochester, I have just discovered the sun is far declined from its meridian, and Pilot is actually gone home to his dinner. Let me look at your watch.""Fasten it into your girdle, Janet, and keep it henceforward: I have no use for it.""It is nearly four o'clock in the afternoon, sir. Don't you feel hungry?""The third day from this must be our wedding-day, Jane. Never mind fine clothes and jewels, now: all that is not worth a fillip.""The sun has dried up all the rain-drops, sir. The breeze is still: it is quite hot.""Do you know, Jane, I have your little pearl necklace at this moment fastened round my bronze scrag under my cravat? I have worn it since the day I lost my only treasure, as a memento of her.""We will go home through the wood: that will be the shadiest way."He pursued his own thoughts without heeding me."Jane! you think me, I daresay, an irreligious dog: but my heart swells with gratitude to the beneficent God of this earth just now. He sees not as man sees, but far clearer: judges not as man judges, but far more wisely. I did wrong: I would have sullied my innocent flower--breathed guilt on its purity: the Omnipotent snatched it from me. I, in my stiff-necked rebellion, almost cursed the dispensation: instead of bending to the decree, I defied it. Divine justice pursued its course; disasters came thick on me: I was forced to pass through the valley of the shadow of death. HIS chastisements are mighty; and one smote me which has humbled me for ever. You know I was proud of my strength: but what is it now, when I must give it over to foreign guidance, as a child does its weakness? Of late, Jane--only--only of late--I began to see and acknowledge the hand of God in my doom. I began to experience remorse, repentance; the wish for reconcilement to my Maker. I began sometimes to pray: very brief prayers they were, but very sincere."Some days since: nay, I can number them--four; it was last Monday night, a singular mood came over me: one in which grief replaced frenzy--sorrow, sullenness. I had long had the impression that since I could nowhere find you, you must be dead."
SCARRED, not SCARED. If we want to read the book, its at the library. No need to write the book down on RU-vid. Kind of ridiculous. Or are you catering to lazy people?
Thank you. This shows that there IS meant to be kissing in this scene. That is one of the only problems I have with this version is that it doesn't have as much displays of deep affection between the character like the 2006/ Toby Stephens version!
I know what you think, I also looked at the actress like she is all wrong but now she grew up on me and I see all the Jane’s emotions in her face, maybe she is really the right one for the role. I don’t know what kind of woman I have imagined for Jane, probably myself 😂
My favourite Jane Eyre with Orsen Wells Jane Fontaine I loved that film very classic they all lovely but there is always one special close to your heart
But still i like zelah clarke as jane, she does a good job, if not the best. Though, i have yet to find my perfect jane. :-) But Timothy dalton is and will always be the " quintessential rochester".
Да, Тиму повезло играть такие роли. Жаль только, что ни Оскара, ни других премий ему не вручали. Столько ролей интересных и везде у него- сильная, характерная личность! Ред Батлер в "Скарлетт", король Витторио в "Королевской шлюхе", Цезарь в "Клеопатре" , священник Билл в "Possessed", современная роль СIA- агента Джека в фильме "Красный орёл"!!!, комедийная роль в комедии "Timesharing " and "Hawks" и конечно же очаровательный грабитель банков в фильме "Framed". Просто супер- актер!
Если Вы читали книгу и знаете ее, Вам перевод и не нужен. Голос Тимоти очень красивый, не то, что при переводе, и у ЗИЛы тоже. Я из- за этого фильма и книги стала учить английский)) Спасибо ВВС за этот фильм, лучшего просто нет!❤
I have a trouble with this ending tho, In the book he was very happy at the end and here he is not, he hastily wanted to arrange the wedding etc. Also I would be more than happy if there would be the end with a phrase - God bless you for taking me as your husband and she says something like that this is her blessing if she could be his wife, that’s just it!
I think that's what selfless love is all about. Jane loved rochester selflessly, she was never behind his money and even his looks, because she knew that he was not handsome and morever this youth and looks will be gone someday, but what remains forever is true love. :-)
@@cellowali2865 Timothy Dalton in this- not handsome???!! W-W-W-WHUTT???!!! Even with his scar he's better-looking than 99% of men! You're either too hard to please for words, or you need to get your eyes tested!
@@darrylschultz6479 I was saying about novel's Rochester not Timothy Dalton. Timothy Dalton is handsome. I never said Timothy was ugly , in fact he is my favourite Mr. Rochester and favourite James Bond too. :-)
No one knew where he went a(fter bertha death (author killed off her roschester so another author revived him one version he was heal encouraged replaced missing eye or eye sunk into socket. after death place one side of fire place became know as wicker man jane place other side wooden coffin sitting down because as wooden wife man found hanging at front door person used horse holsters giant frame master of house ( author killed off jane and children woman was found hanging witches shoe banging against parlour door) two children hanging upper room. )his marriage proposal he offered her commit suicide with him everyone he knew turned against them because romance with jane bertha others witnessed it own two eyes heard it too never noticed them in room on stairs like the were ghosts he felt alone .another version jane or someone else just put idea in her head did as promised to her aunt stab out his one eye hot poker with help people who hates him ripped off one hand servants took it away unknown who did it shown in shadows another bertha place roschester body hot ripped cage place hot iron mask onto his face drag him down stairs to fireplace unknown how jane got into wooden coffin sealed up jane summoned bertha asked how she see roschester bertha looked ::horrified to see him looking dead/ bertha said she would never killed roschester because she loved him too very long time. jane she would not:look at her see if she too looked dead where were there bodies.looks like the were buries alive.bertha left.
No, they don't! He does; easily one of the best Rochesters. She on the other hand should have been cast as the tree they were sitting next to. Wooden doesn't even begin to cover it.
It's a bit harsh, but I partly agree. Maybe the director believed a soft-spoken Jane would be synonymous of innocence, but to me this Jane lacks the passion of the original. The actress was pretty, but at 27 too old for the part. I can't honestly watch this version - with a perfect Rochester, by the way -, because for me the two do not match albeit it is not the actress' fault
is this, 36 year s lod Jane Eyre, at least 36, acting at all or am I going bunker about saying that the director is stupid for choosing her to stand against such a great actor?
Well she doesn't look 36, though I will admit Zelah Clarke was 27 something at that time. But even the janes before her were old, remember sorcha Cusack and sussanah York.
ACLARACIÓN LA QUE ESCRIBE SOY DE LA MISMA EDAD QUE ZELAH CLARKE Y LE ASEGURO QUE TANTO ZELAH CLARKE COMO UNA SERVIDORA EN EL AÑO 1983 LAS DOS TENÍAMOS 27 AÑOS YO CUMPLO EL 3 DE AGOSTO Y ZELAH CLARKE LO MISMO DA IGUAL UNOS MESES ARRIBA O ABAJO .NO DIGA QUE ZELAH CLARKE TENÍA 36 AÑOS PORQUE NO ES VERDAD. VALE 👍
This is probably the worst portrayal of jane. She looks older than Mr. Rochester lol. And she had only one expression throughout the movie. The actress single handedly ruined the entire movie.
Yes, overly handsome Rochester and overly mousy Jane who conveyed all the spirit of a wet dishrag when she should have been vibrating with it in certain scenes. Her plain exterior should have belied her inner strong emotions. Instead, it was vanilla all the way through.
No it's not the worst portrayal of Jane, i have seen many worst janes before her. She was OK I suppose way better than Virginia Bruce , Mary Sinclair, Sorcha Cusack, Joan Fontaine and sussanah york
PERDÓN PERO COMO PUEDE DECIR QUE ZELAH CLARKE ERA MAYOR QUE TIMOTHY DALTON LE VOY A DECIR UN DATO YO EN EL AÑO 2022 TENGO 66 AÑOS Y ZELAH CLARKE ES DE LA MISMA EDAD QUE LA QUE ESCRIBE Y HACE UNOS 2 O 3 MESES MÁS O MENOS EL SEÑOR DALTON HIZO 76 AHORA HAGA CUENTAS SÍ LAS QUIERE HACER .
I don't like this Jane, with respect to the actress. She delivers her lines quietly, without passion or strenght. It's a pity, because Dalton is one of the best Rochesters.
