Purely Joyful Movie!

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Unlike other adaptations that focus solely on the Victorian era, this gives a more modern twist on the classic tale of Jane Eyre. I feel like this is exactly what I saw in my head as I read the novel. Mia Wasikowska's performance is superb, she embodies all of the characteristics I associate with Jane. The fire scene (my favourite in the novel) between her and Michael Fassbender is captivating and real. The gothic element of the novel is also widely explored and showcased especially in this adaptation which I love because it's such a huge theme of the novel, which isn't as explored as much in the other films where they usually focus on the Romance theme.

I am one of those viewers, for which "Jane Eyre" was the first time they got in contact with this story. That said, I cannot judge the film in comparison to other versions. Nonetheless a good movie should always provide enough background to be understandable for new viewers as well.From all that I can say, "Jane Eyre" is very thoroughly made and achieves greatness in terms of filmmaking. You instantly see that a lot of thoughts and heart was put into the film to create a somewhat authentic atmosphere and a setting that makes it easy to enter the historic world the plot is settled in. Those preparations are met with skillful and empathetic acting and thus it is right to say that "Jane Eyre" is a good movie.Unfortunately, the story itself is kind of average. Without doubting that from a personal point of view it includes big drama, it relays on a setting already dealt with in many movies and books. Although "Jane Eyre" is probably one of the earlier attempts to deal with this in art, there are tons of similar plots, including modern adaptions like "Pretty Woman", that more or less ground on the same presumption. Unluckily, Jane herself is a hero free from failures and thus an extraordinary boring figure. Her manner of being gentile and empathetic from beginning to the end are honorable but also highly unrealistic and make the movie a bit foreseeable.All in all, "Jane Eyre" depicts an average story with average characters in a high-quality way. I respect that. But still there are better or more relevant movies.

I felt that this was the best Jane Eyre adaption I've seen. It portrayed the characters well (except that Rochester was more attractive than described in the book) and the acting was quite good. It left out a few important characters and plot revelations and added some Hollywood theme, but overall it was pretty accurate. They did a great job of generalizing the important parts of the book and making the plot flow. Overall, would recommend. I liked Rochester better in the movie than in the book. Even if you don't like historical fiction, I would try to watch it.

I remember seeing different versions of "Jane Eyre" throughout the years. This one could be the best.Almost all the "Jane Eyre" I saw before heavily depicted the scene which Edward's insane wife burned down the mansion and subsequently blinded him. Horrors and infernos consumed most of this supposing Gothic romance if not entirely. Neither did I remember any romantic courtships between Jane and Edward nor feel the story was adequately told i.e. noted their undying love. Falling in love at first sight is always a powerful catalyst for men pursuing women. Although Charlotte Brontë humbly described both their appearances, she might merely suggest their mutual attraction forewarned them of seeing each other in an alluring fashion. The director had a vivid understanding of it and infused with ample courting scenes into the film which also enough to transform its genre from horror to romance where the story belonged. The scripts were well crafted and elegantly done. They were not overly theatrical or dramatic. Overall, it's a nice adaption to a familiar classic.
