John Rivers who is the Doctor for Lowood, and who provides Jane with lessons of morality instead of Helen Burns. Other interesting innovations to the story include a St. Jane also feels she has to defend Adele and asks Rochester to treat her more kindly- something Jane never does in the novel. Rochester falling off his horse as he looms up on her and she is unfortunately in the way instead of standing quietly by the side of the road. Helen Burns has her hair cut at Lowood instead of Julia Severn in the novel, and Jane heroically demands to have her hair cut as well.

The script has some interesting changes to the story that perpetuates through several movie adaptations to follow. No wonder Joan Fontaine's Jane looks like a deer caught in headlights most of the time.

Orson Welles plays the role of Rochester with such an intensity that makes him a little intimidating. The 1934 film being a little too happy and this version being a little too dark. There's a much better attempt to adapt the actual novel in this version (as compared to the 1934 film version) which makes for an interesting transition from light to dark. Jane Eyre 1943 Starring: Joan Fontaine and Orson Welles I think because this version lightens the story so much, one can't take it too seriously as an adaptation of "Jane Eyre". And Jane is acknowledged to be young and pretty in the movie- interesting since so many adaptations in later years get beautiful actresses to play Jane and then pretend they are plain. No wonder he is pretty straightforward with her. Jane herself is quite spunky and has no trouble expressing anything she is feeling. Rochester is charming and affable (and quite obviously in love with Jane from the start) you don't have to work hard to like him. Adele is Rochester's niece, and Rochester is in the process of divorcing his mild-mannered and slightly mad first wife. For that is the only reason I can think of for making the story so cheery and sweet. This is the first talkie version of "Jane Eyre" and I think has the rather unfortunate timing to have come out during the Great Depression. While the dirctor has "deftly" brought some modern elements to the story, the "emotional swoons" every Jane Eyre adaptation should deliver are missing here.Jane Eyre 1934 Starring: Virginia Bruce and Colin Clive Sure, Wasikowska is an asset, but there's no chemistry between her and Fassbender's Rochester, and Fukunaga doesn't get the novel's gothic tone right. Not sure we needed this: Fans of the books are unlikely to be impressed by this latest version, says Elizabeth Weitzman in the Daily News. "Another Hike on the Moors for Jane Eyre" There has also "never been a truly rotten one," and "even the sentimental 1996 Franco Zeffirelli version, with William Hurt embarrassingly miscast as a Rochester more nearly a mild eccentric than a brooding, Byronic type, has its moments." Maybe it's just Jane's fate to live in movie mediocrity.

Director Cary Fukunaga has "deftly brought out Brontë's gothic terrors," and "reanimated a classic for a new generation, letting Jane Eyre resonate with terror and tenderness." " Jane Eyre"Īnd, all those other versions were lacking: "There has never been a definitive movie Jane Eyre," says A.O. The answer, with this new film, is a resounding yes. Plus, the filmmakers brought new life to a classic: "Is anything fresh even possible?" asks Peter Travers at Rolling Stone. But this new version is "worth seeing for Wasikowska, an actress so young yet so formed" that she's "hands down my favorite plain Jane." "A-Team" Yes, "the damn thing pops up every decade," and it does seem "pretty well tapped out" at this point. Yes, Mia Wasikowska makes it worthwhile: "Oh, no, you might say, not another Jane Eyre!" says David Edelstein at New York. Do we really need yet another Jane Eyre flick? ( Watch a clip from the film) The 19th feature film version of Brontë's classic about a spunky, plain governess hits theaters this weekend, starring Mia Wasikowska ( Alice in Wonderland, The Kids Are All Right) and Michael Fassbender ( Inglourious Basterds), and directed by Cary Fukunaga ( Sin Nombre).
