Jane Eyre (2011) Movie Review
If you are looking for a good adaptation (good, not necessarily very much faithful) and a great film to watch, then Jane Eyre, one of the new movie releases this March, is the answer. Based on the most respected novel written by Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre is produced by Focus Features film production company and takes Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland) as the leading actress. This is an absolutely worth watching love film which is interwoven in a gothic and gloomy atmosphere.
Once the scene moves to the mysterious castle, the core of the love story begins. There, she meets the Lord of the castle named Mr. Rochester. An unpleasant, rude, mysterious master who, from the looks of his, seems to hide something. Contradicted first by the high self-esteem and confidence of her new governess, Mr. Rochester then feels attracted by her and tries some flirtation. And the love story goes, revealing the marvelous romantic scenes between them and some mysteries beyond Mr. Rochester’s character.
The film director Cary Fukunaga has successfully transferred the gothic mood of the novel into the big screen, making the romance clothed by the dark atmosphere. While the BBC miniseries for the same adaptation works more on the romance and hence put forwards mainly the sweet and romantic mood in the film, Fukunaga tries and is tremendously successful in blending both the gothic mood symbolized in the novel and the romanticism of the love story between Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester, which is also depicted in details in the book. Thus, the great cinematography plays the main role here in bringing the blended gothic and romantic mood of the film into the audiences.
