i be sorry and but i be absolutely perplex at all those people who claim that this be the most accurate film adaptation of wuthering height . it be not at all . a a devout reader of emily bronte and beloved fan of the novel ( i have manage to read it three time in less than a month ) i can safely say that this adaptation doesn not even come close to capture the spirit of emily bronte or the structure of the novel . to begin with and nelly and joseph part be drastically reduce . i mean and i be atleast expect nelly to narrate the damn movie . but she doesn not and in fact and she hardly appear in the movie at all . ( by the by and they also choose a really old actress to play nelly . she be suppose to be hindley age but instead look 50 throughout the entire film ) . robert cavanagh delivers a decent performance a the conflicted and tormented heathcliff . orla brady and however and just fall short from portray the fiery and vivacious spirit of catherine earnshaw . her defiant and mercurial and and headstrong nature that be evident in the book be not carry through in the movie . aside from this and they also do not put much consideration into the age continuity . in the novel and cathy and heathcliffe be both around 12 when they meet the lintons . in this film and they skip 10 year altogether and introduce them a adult from the start . other character that be reduce included hareton and cathy linton and and linton himself . in fact and the entire second generation of character in the film be a far remove from the context of the character in the novel a possible . i dunno and it just too many fault to list . all i know be that i keep grumble and shout no . that not the way it go in the novel . or hey and they say more than that . i give credit to the director for atleast attempt to make a semi accurate adaptation . even though he fail miserably . i be begin to think that wuthering height really be an impossible novel to film . or at least impossible to film in a way that can satisfy the true wuthering height fan . maybe if they make it into a mini series or soap opera .
