Jane Eyre (1983)_ "Farewell, Mr. Rochester"

[@mattdeans9873]

For those of you who watch this and have not read the book: oh gosh, I implore you.... please PLEASE read the book. It's one of my all time favorites. You will LOVE it. I promise you.

[@cellowali2865]

The novel is wonderful, simply unbeatable but i think this adaptation is very good.

[@ampa4989]

I like the details in the book, like when Rochester asks Blanche to explain all the detractions Jane exhibits of her class and when he expresses displeasure at Blanche's snobbery when Jane comes to ask for a leave during a card game. But I think Jane is less lovestruck and self-effacing, which is different from the movie, and, in a way, less romantic. I also disliked that Jane wished to keep working for him as a governess and never take a penny from his purse even after marriage because I guess she's so thoroughly modem. Seriously, WTH? And Rochester seemed almost silly and ridiculous. I imagined him sort of like an unattractive middle aged burly man who drones on about things with mind numbing detail and digressions. I think the movie is actually better because Dalton is dashing and makes the love story more enjoyable, at least for me. I'd also have preferred Jane to have been a little less mousy, about Joan Fontaine level plain, but Clark's acting makes up for it completely. I suppose it depends on what the reader wants: feminism or romance. If you want the evolution of the independent female archetype through the Georgian and Victorian eras, then you want to read the novel as part of a catalog.

Just...let me look at the money. 😐

[@maineclayton2419]

To me, he realized that calling Jane "little" or making fun of her height would led him into trouble and it might cause Jane to leave him permanently. He quickly changed the topic and wiggled his hand to prevent Jane from being upset. Thankfully, Jane forgives him from that small mistake because she's in love with him. It was funny scene :D

[@katelyntrip9459]

[@heloisamariani]

@@marlenadm5654 it’s so adorable. And that’s 100% the nature of Jane and Rochester’s relationship, they’re constantly teasing and playing with each other. They’re soulmates.

[@heloisamariani]

@@marlenadm5654 another amazing moment! This series is so well made. They both understood the characters so well. I love how Zelah shows Jane’s emotions in the way she delivers the sentences, like in the case you mentioned. The way she says it and her expression, it’s so good. Same for Dalton as Rochester. Rochester is supposed to be brooding and sardonic (to everyone, as a mask he wears because he feels so broken) BUT he shows his true personality with Jane, which in reality he is a funny, intelligent and caring man. The joke about her waiting for her people in hay lane, this whole “on this mercenary ground, will you let me hector you a little?” are playful ways to get to know her better. To see show she responds to him and how compatible they actually are. And she gets to know him better in response. I love this series. I could talk about it and about the book for days. There are only few changes from what’s in the book and most of the dialogue is there.

Talk about a man in love. He doesn't want her to leave because she'll be gone, for what would probably feel like an eternity, and he'd be stuck with guests he wants to make her jealous with.

[@nancyhamlin8426]

Nenethegreat W True, but, that’s part of the story of the time. Him’s a jerk. (I meant to say it that way. )

[@АннаНезнаева]

@Nenethegreat W I don't think he hides his feelings because she is a governess. He doesn't care about his guests' opinion. He has to pretend because his main aim is to hide his feelings from her, to make her believe he's in love with Miss Ingram.

[@ditsashihurkar4913]

@Nenethegreat W well then you didn't understand that Rochester was doing all these things to make Jane jealous, it was his plan, because somewhere he knew that Jane would not speak up her feelings which she has for him by herself. Even in this particular scene when he repeatedly says is that all?? So, you will do no more than say farewell Jane? He is giving her a chance to speak up, but she clearly refuses and says it is enough sir, that " enough sir " hurts him. Even in post mason conversation when he looks at Jane and says " but I have found the being jane ", he ardently looks at her like a lover, trying to say look at me, look into my eyes, can't you see Jane there is so much love in my eyes for you, only you, but again Zelah's jane is clueless about his real emotions for her, and that's why he laughs at her and himself and then brings the subject of honourable Blanche Ingram.

This is true, but then pretty much all of the film/TV Rochesters have been handsome, and most of the film/TV Janes have been far from plain. That said, Charlotte Brontë does a neat little trick in her book: she keeps calling Rochester various forms of ugly, but when she describes him (when Jane draws his portrait while visiting her dying aunt), she describes a pretty attractive man. Clever Charlotte. Having her cake and eating it too...

[@ffeff8353]

@@cellowali2865 -- Haha nothing to forgive! In the end we all have our own taste. In fact, I also DON'T find William Hurt or Ciarán HInds attractive, but they are generally considered handsome. I'd forgotten about George C. Scott, who (again I agree) no one would call handsome, but him I find VERY attractive. There's a difference, isn't there? And in fact, as I've posted elsewhere, Charlotte Brontë was very clever, because she keeps having Jane saying that Rochester is ugly, but when she describes him in detail (when Jane is back with her aunt and draws a portrait of him), she indeed describes a very attractive man! :)

[@indiraadakil]

Knew of Timothy Dalton ...only as James Bond...one whose movies did not do so well commercially. He did only two movies as 007. But in this series he comes across as a very fine actor...he is Rachester himself! Marvelous acting...beautifully created series. Loved all episodes.

[@cellowali2865]

Living daylights was a commercial success, Licence to kill also earned more than its budget but it didn't do well in United States.

[@happyllama1160]

I think this is the best version of Jane Eyre, however not a single version gets their banter right. The book is actually hilarious in some parts (like when Jane accidentally sits beside Mr R in the garden, thinks he hasn’t noticed her, waits there in silence for something like half an hour until his back his turned then dramatically tip toes away only for him to call her to look at a bug obviously knowing that she was there the entire time). They’re meant to have such chemistry because behind all that formality that was drilled into them they both have about one brain cell each. I think the BBC version came close, but nope! They are cute here, but if you only watched it you’d miss out on them annoying each other and all the rest of the bant.

[@Raduselderbrother]

You're exactly right. My favorite thing about the book is that both of them are (I say this with affection) a little deranged. The movies never seem to get that quite right.

Mr. Rochester's behavior (in the book, and faithfully rendered in this series) reflects a terribly conflicted man. He has fallen in love with Jane, but his so-called attempts to make her jealous are reckless and likely to alienate her, and considering his secret I think he's also trying to alienate her.

Timothy Dalton played a version of Heathcliff in a Wuthering Heights film before this. Not a great film (too short for the material) but he is also a wonderful Heathcliff.

[@hellund2874]

I find it hard to pick a "favourite" version or a favourite Rochester. Dalton is very passionate, sometimes abrupt (like book Rochester) and this version is very faithful to the book. The 2006 imo captures the dynamic of Jane and Rochester best and Toby Stephens is also fantastic, belligerent, yet charming. I also find that 2006 captured the period best, you had a real sense of the Victorian/Gothic vibe of the novel. The 2011 is way too short in my opinion (you just can't squeeze JE into a film, sorry) but even that Rochester is fascinating. Fassbender plays him more tortured/creepy which is not wrong, just another shade of the original. Idk I just love them all and still be happy to get a new version whenever they made one..

He looks charming & mature, that's when he could play James Bond ...

You’re not to be trusted....

[@jackdavenport9562]

Generally, all Bonds are not to be trusted 😎... Jane is very wise indeed.

Farewell? I adore you, Timothy Dalton. I can't not leave you! If you want me, I am here

[@chrissoren3521]

Dalton should have continued to portray James Bond! Pierce Brosnan was never convincing as James Bond!

Intractable Jane. Besting Rochester in a contest of wills. Gotta love it. These 2 are much less dysfunctional than the *other* Bronte couple, Cathy & Heathcliff.

[@marammansour170]

I love it ❤❤❤

[@cabahab2996]

Beauty was very strange back then Jane is as pretty as any of them or better looking i think...

[@trish2642]

the height difference omg i am swooning

[@virginiaoliveira8463]

@trish2642 How could Jane say "I'm poor, obscure and little" if she were 6 feet tall?😅❤

[@ipercalisse579]

They are. Jane and Rochester. End.

[@reinagobernadora]

Totalmente de acuerdo, Zelah Clarke es una magnífica Jane

[@whaleswisdom1708]

Mr Rochester was a very unattractive man in the book. Jane saw beyond his looks and when they finally become happy, he looks better with the scowl off of his face. Jane is far from beautiful or even pretty in the book. They saw the best in one another.

I'm sorry but I don't agree: In those days, a man with dark hair and dark eyes ("a vulcan") was considered unattractive compared to a blond, blue eyed "Apollo" - it was just the taste of the times then, he was not "fashionable", I presume.. The scowl made him unattractive, maybe

Timothy Dalton Love you Mister Rochester the best ❤💚💜💗💐💞
