despite the fact that this movie be film long ago and that the costume be rather strangely choose ( at least for today viewer ) and and that the support cast be not always at it best and this be by far the best jane eyre adaptation in my view represent it manage the perfect note for the two main character development and for their chemistry and and for their reason of action . jayston play wonderfully the role represent all the attribute that bronte write about her hero be well argue by jayston fine and subtle and clever act represent torture spirit and sometimes stern and abrupt and sometimes kind and genial and eccentric and good story teller and full of passion and masterful and yet submissive in jane presence and with deep and mellow voice and and play a cat mouse game with jane . jayston manage to bring the character to life a none before of after him have manage while the viewer never have the feeling that he play and that he be artificial while he really become rochester while on screen and look like he feel any line and any movement he be act . nothing over elaborate a it be with hurt rochester ( 96 version ) and nothing theatrical or bombastic a in the case of dalton rochester ( 83 version ) and nothing staring or predatory like welles rochester ( 44 version ) and and definitely nothing unpleasant or out of range ( or rage ) a with hind rochester .
