this version be pretty insipid and i be afraid . jane eyre be one of my favorite book and have be since childhood and but william hurt weary and throwaway acting style be completely unsuitable to the bold passion of edward rochester and poor charlotte gainsbrough look like a bored and petulant teenager whose dental brace hurt . i also can not believe that they eliminate edward great marriage proposal scene from the end of the book and one of the most moving moment in literature . i do appreciate that they finally use such a young and plain woman to play jane and a character who be suppose to be a worldly 18 and but if you want to see a version that closer approximate the personality and passion of the novel and please see the 70 version with george c. scott and susannah york . york be too old and tall and pretty to play jane and but no one have touch rochester character the way that scott do .
