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...
GEORGEOUS.<3 I love random beauty.:)

DeleteAhhh! Lovely post!! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks, Miss March! It was fun to make :D
DeleteOhhhh, this is indeed very pretty. Love looking at the pics! I particularly like the two women looking at the water.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it, DKoren! Yes, isn't that picture lovely? I haven't seen it, though :-P
DeleteI may or may not love these pictures. You guess.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't possibly... ;)
DeleteOH MY GOODNESS OLIVIA YOUR BLOG. Have I just been blind and not seen the latest transformations?? It's beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteAw, this was really relaxing for me. Scrolling through, looking at all the pretty pictures. It was great. :)
Daaawwww, THANKS, GURL. You're too kind :) But no, this is pretty recent, so you haven't missed it for long ;) I may actually change it again, though, because I may want to use this background with a summer look...we'll see.
DeleteAww, yay! I'm so glad :) Heehee, Pinterest has been good to me lately and I wanted an excuse to post some of the stuff.
Those are lovely, my word!
ReplyDeleteAnd, goodness, I love what you've done with your blog! So fancy :D
By the way, I changed my header to your free musicals one. Thanks for sharing that!
DeleteAren't they, though?!
DeleteAww, thanks ever so much!! I'm glad you like it!
Oh my gosh, really?! You're most welcome! That makes me SOOOOO happy; I shall hie myself to your blog posthaste!
*gasps* THE BLUE COLLAGE. IT'S GORGEOUS.
ReplyDeleteWHERE IS IT FROM. I MUST KNOW.
*coughs* I feel like I should recognize some of the pictures, but I don't . . .
Isn't it, though? I'm pretty sure it's from Bright Star, which I haven't seen, but, y'know . . . the collage, though.
DeleteHaha, that's okay -- we've all been there ;)
I love the pictures! They are all so beautiful! They describe and show how beautiful period dramas are. No words are needed, a picture is worth a thousand words.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Yes, aren't they gorgeous? They make me happy :)
DeleteI'm not very up-to-date on my period dramas, but is the second picture Keira Knightley and the third Amy from Little Women? Awwww, Jane is so pretty... :)
ReplyDeleteIndeed! Good catches :) Aww, I know, isn't she?
DeleteOh, speaking of period dramas -- I read your question to Miss March about what constitutes a period drama, and I thought I'd interject my two cents (because duh who doesn't want my two cents :-P), if that's okay ;) I think one of your points was that if period dramas are just categorized as "movies set in a specific time period", then technically every movie is a period drama, right? (Miss March may have replied to this, actually . . . ) And that's true, hehe. But if it helps at all, I think most period dramas are those movies that take place in a time period several years previous to the current one. And they're often based off a book or a historical event/figure.
Anyway. You probably didn't need any of that. Just thought I'd see if it clears up any confusion, haha :D
I can't believe I was right!! :)
DeleteOf course I want your two cents!! :) They definitely seem to all have that in common!! I was mostly complaining about the ambiguous definition the internet supplied, haha!! Oooh! That is a good point. They ARE mostly based off of books or history!! They need to add that to the definition. ;)
OOOOH WOW! Layout en pointe! and these pics are so lovely!
ReplyDeleteAwww, thanks, Evie! I'm glad you liked the old look, even though I changed it :-P And yes, aren't they?!
DeleteOoooh, lovely! And your look is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Rae! I really appreciate it! :D
DeleteThese are all pretty, but I'm afraid #2 just makes me crack up laughing for some reason. xD
