Watch Wuthering Heights For Free

Touches You

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The Heathcliff played by Tom Hardy is the closest to the book-Heathcliff out of the film-Heathliffs I ever saw. Hardy displays best the brutal force and vengeance that made Heathcliff not "the one" in terms of a husband in any version of the story. I think both him and the child playing young H. were doing very well. Apart from the "little flaw" that Heatchliff vowed on more then one occasion in the book that he would never ever disrespect Cathy's will of having something. He never once made comments on wealth... Cathy was duely full of fire, although she was a bit too meek overall. Film-makers forget that even when Cathy dresses up like little lady, she is still a wild creature. Besides, at the end she becomes MAD. Sorry, but when she dies, she is far from being the poor mother that dies in giving birth. She is self-centered until the last. As a child, she was already using the same slightly haughty manners, and never loses this attitude (and never progresses too badly in it either.). Here, she was just too meek, while Edgar was just too cold-hearted. His true colors should be gentleness and meekness, who chooses to be buried with Cathy on the moors. Despite these interpretations, all of the characters, Hindley, Isabella and Nelly included, were just very good choices. They were looking like (and having looks of) the true characters. I adored especially how facial expressions of Cathy and her brother Hindley were matching. (They should have the same eyes.) Youngest Catherine were duely different in colors, but not in the body movement and in the facial expressions. She had just the same way of talking, and running like her mum. I think this was the best film-adaptation so far, but it should have been even more faithful to the book to become "perfect" :)

The original 1939 classic movie of Wuthering Heights, with Olivier and Oberon, is excellent for its time. However, this version only depicts the basic plot. Newer versions are more elaborate.This story centers on Heathcliff and is about deep love between Heathcliff and Cathy, love lost, Heathcliff's bitter and deep anger over this, Heathcliff's blame for the love loss on the Cathy as well as on class exclusion, and revenge toward all those involved in the lost love. An essential element is for the movie to depict Heathcliff's bitterness and immense vengeful anger. Now in order for the immense anger to be explained, the prior deep love between Heathcliff and Cathy must be fully depicted. I think the 1992 and 2009 movie versions are the best. Both are excellent but both are flawed.The 1992 version with Ralph Fiennes is better organized and time-sequenced. This version emphasizes the bitterness, anger and vengefulness of the main character, Heathcliff, as superbly depicted by Fiennes. The flaw is that the early love between Cathy and Heathcliff is shown in a skimpy and summary manner. This is a flaw since this deep love needs a full and detailed portrayal in order to explain Heathcliff's later deep bitterness. As a result Fiennes' Heathcliff is a terrible fellow whose behavior is somewhat inexcusable. The 2009 version with Tom Hardy is slightly convoluted, and lightens Heathcliff's vengefulness (making Heathcliff more of sympathetic character to the viewer), which is a flaw compared to the 1992 Fiennes version that properly displays Heathcliff's revenge. However, the 2009 Hardy version does portray the early love between Heathcliff and Cathy with due elaboration (which is lacking in the 1992 version). As a result Heathcliff is more of a tragic figure than a villain.An ideal version would be the 1992 Fiennes version, with the deep vengeful anger as Fiennes displayed, but that also fully depicted the love as did the 2009 Hardy version.Both the Hardy 2009 version and the Fiennes 1992 version are excellent but I prefer the 1992 version as the best available.

This movie contains very strong emotions and leaves you out of words after watching it. The main actors play great and make you enjoy the movie a lot. I have never seen Tom Hardy in a movie before, but this role he plays just perfectly, it suits him a lot. Charlotte Riley plays her role greatly as well. Also, the environment and costumes for the movie were selected perfectly as it resembles old times very good. Overall, this movie is based on Emile Bronte book "Wuthering heights" and tells about endless love with all the most beautiful and painful emotions it may cause. The other really strong movie that I could compare it with is "Mary Bryant" (with Romola Garai in main role).

Once I found out that this had been shown in America months ago, everything made sense. I say that as an American (who moved to the UK years ago to escape the shallowness, only to find the UK caught up quickly).I did rather enjoy this version, mainly due to the superb casting. Tom Hardy was wonderful, but I'm sure they toned down what he could have done. Even more so with Charlotte Riley, after they turned Cathy's untamed elemental nature into a teenage brat.It was brightly lit like a soap opera (uh-- Gothic, people), and moved at an MTV pace instead of developing the relationship of the three main characters: Heathcliffe,Cathy, and the Moors. This final, crucial character was, in fact, nearly left out altogether. The whole thing could have been set in Central London, for all the difference it made to the formation and behaviour of the human characters. I suppose the filmmakers decided that psychological interaction with nature, on a deep inner level, was something today's urbans couldn't grasp. Heaven forbid we should try to convey to them another type of experience.I was really looking forward to this, due mainly to Tom Hardy who seemed the ultimate Heathcliff, but was very disappointed by the missed opportunity.
