Jane Eyre


Creepy. The entire movie is dark, mysterious and creepy. I've never read the book by Charlotte Bronte but I knew a little bit about the story. When the movie was over, I think we were thankful that we didn't live in England during the 1800's. You would be fighting depression every day! I love the way this movie was filmed and how it captured the characters. The way people used to speak back then is fascinating to me. Everything from the clothes they wore, how they did their hair, to the activities and games they played all seem so foreign to this world. Its amazing to watch a movie that seems so simple, following the life of a girl who has always been alone, yet the complexity of her character slowly unravels as the movie continues. A "vampire" even makes an appearance! Overall, I liked this movie. I think I'm going to read the book.
