Jane Eyre: 2006 VS 2011
I've seen four adaptations of Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre so far, and while all of them have had at least one good element, the two that actually vie for the honor of My Favored One are the 2006 miniseries with Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens and the 2011 movie with Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender. Every time I watch these two, I try to figure out which Jane/Rochester pairing is my favorite; and every time, I come to the conclusion that I can't decide. So, naturally, I've decided to further this exercise in futility by hashing out my feelings here on the blog. :-P It's pretty disorganized and patchy, but so be it. Basically, I just wanted to vent a little, and that's what I've done. ;) (And please bear with me: This is practically the only Gothic romance story I like and allow myself to get all caught up in every now and then, so there may be gushing ahead since this story has kind of been "on the brain" recently. Don't worr...

ReplyDeleteSwan Princess!!!!!!! SO underrated.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it, though??
DeleteEver After! And Narnia! And The Sound of Music! And the Princess Diaries! All lovely movies. <3 (Oh, and what's the name of that movie with the two dogs?? It's on the tip of my tongue...)
ReplyDeleteThis was a fun idea for a post! Is this part of a tag or something?
It's Homeward Bound! 😊
DeleteI'm glad you like them, too. <3 (Haha and yes, what Caitlin said!)
DeleteIt was part of a thing that went around a while ago: people would either post a movie still on some form of social media, with no context, for ten days straight; or people would just post them all in one fell swoop. The idea, as far as I recall, was to share movies that had been influential in your life. :)
AHH YES, that's it! Thanks Caitlin. :)
DeleteOh okay, cool! Hmm... I might just have to do this on my blog sometime. ;D
Yay!
ReplyDeleteYes, I love these movies!!! <333 The only ones that I haven't seen are Persuasion and the animated one.
ReplyDelete:D <3
DeleteACK, did you watch Homeward Bound growing up too?? I haven't seen that movie in forever...xD
ReplyDeleteDid I ever! And my mom cried every. single. time. ;) To be fair I'm pretty sure I'd bawl if I watched it now.
DeleteAh, the 1995 adaptation of Persuasion. I love that movie, as of course I love the novel. It's my favorite of Austen's works, except for when I'm reading Pride and Prejudice, which is then my favorite Austen work.
ReplyDeleteI really love it, too. It might be my second favorite Austen film adaptation? Not quite sure, but there's a definite possibility. I have a whole hierarchy when it comes to Austen, in terms of favorite book, favorite movie, favorite story in general, that I did a post about a few months ago. I think P&P is my favorite book of hers. :)
