Jane Eyre (1983)_ First conversation

Jane talks with Mr. Rochester about her.

[@angelacarleton9575]

This was the best interpretation of Charlotte Bronte, "Jane Eyre" I ever have seen and nothing else can compare to other movies or series. My favorite book since I was a teenager and still love Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre." I love Timothy Dalton as Rochester who playful exchange with Jane is wonderfully performed.

[@annfotlyan8655]

Timothy Dalton is the most handsome man that has ever lived....best Rochester, best Bond

[@kanekokazuko7034]

I agree👍 l like him very much😍🙆

[@channeljan8529]

I like him as the best Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights also.

[@greymouse718]

I fell in love with him, seriously.

[@puellaenaturalioasis]

So handsome!!

[@majicweather4890]

There's some roles that some artists just embody and own. Timothy Dalton is the definitive Rochester!

[@Love-Sensibility]

Man, I fall for this man's voice EVERY.TIME!xD

[@b..-.5439]

Here's the thing about Tim as Rochester, yes he is quite handsome but his is this rough beauty that reminisces of book Rochester's making him the most accurate protrayal of Rochester

[@ffeff8353]

Haha yes, he's far too handsome for Rochester, but as I've posted elsewhere, that was Charlotte Brontë's cleverness: she keeps telling us that Rochester is ugly, but when she finally gets around to describing him in detail (when Jane draws his portrait), what she describes seems like a rather good-looking man! Cheeky Charlotte...

[@naylisyazwina6836]

I don't remember the book saying he has rough beauty. I just remember it saying he looks rough and has strong features like strong jawline but Jane always called him ugly or not handsome.

[@tattyspring8910]

Love his facial expression after Jane supported his little green men joke😄

[@evelynhernandez8978]

It is a nice series, however , I hoped I could see more romantic scenes at the end of these series... The second wedding ceremony, when finally they are united as husband and wife ... when they have their first newborn And other aspects of the book...but I am so glad there is these series to see how life was on those times. thank you to all the artist for their great performance!

[@saranyabiswas2057]

[@evm6177]

Oh come of it. Dalton is always such a stiff bore, never fails to disappoint. And the chap tries too hard yet hardly ever fits into any of his roles nor does he fit well with the rest of the cast here most of who seem to fair so much better at their job.

[@S070-g8q]

Mr. Darcy and Mr. Rochester are not alike.

[@Medietos]

This is the best Jane, her composure and facial expression , the sad-looking shape of her eyes. The black eyeliner is out of her character and habits, though, and too black-hard. But one forgets that later. Rochester is rougher and ruder than he looks, so that is good. I just can't imagine how he can ask her, in a later conversation, whether she finds him handsome and she says "no" although he is.

[@arladicey]

I think that there is something good to be said about nearly all of the film versions of Jane Eyre, even if it is just one point; som, of course, stand out as the best. To me, this version, with this Jane and Rochester, is the very best.

[@monmothma3358]

Rochester being the unchallenged Master Of The House.. So aloof, but compare to later scenes, and you'll see how much he & their relationship develop and what a range Timothy Dalton has! He's brilliant, really. I always found that Zelah Clarke was good, but could have been better. As Jane she has to be correct and show little emotion in this scene, but Zelah doesn't even show emotion when she's alone by the piano, when nobody can see her. This would have been an opportunity for her to show the viewers how she feels about Rochester's rudeness, but instead she seems almost like a machine..

[@TheGeekMonster]

I can't stand Zelah for this part. She's far too cold and has no depth of emotion at all. Even in later scenes, like the "goodbye" in the garden, she's quiet and broody, not desperate and heartbroken as Jane should be. Ruth Wilson mastered that scene in the 2006 version.

I believe all versions were masterfully done, including this one. But no other actors had the chemistry of Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens in the 2006 BBC version. They were simply earth-shattering as Jane and Rochester, truly bringing the depth of their bond in the book to life and portraying their violent yet tender passionate nature.

[@janeivanyusheva9613]

Я думаю что Ротчестер сразу полюбил Джен Эйр, как только она к нему устроилась, просто испытывал её какое-то время.

[@Kein928]

Если Вы читали роман и в фильме тоже показано, когда Рочестер сказал ей, что она заинтересовала его сразу как личность. Первый раз он говорит это ей, рассматривая ее рисунки, а позже - в сцене пожара в спальне: он буквально открыто говорит это ей, что она заинтересовала его с первой минуты. Естественно он присматривался к ней, к тому же он был хозяином поместья и тут уж нужно было вести себя соответственно. Но он потом честно сказал ей, что заставил ее ревновать, чтобы она влюбилась в него так же, как он в нее

[@vlastasuchanska5144]

My favorite book

[@historyboff23]

My favourite Jane Eyres in order; 1. The 2006 version (very sexy, not exactly accurate but I like their chemistry) 2. The 1983 version (Timothy is just fab in this) 3. The 1997 version (Samantha Morton and Ciaran Hinds; not accurate to the book but they have great chemistry). 4. The 1973 version (Michael Jayston has the funny, flirty side to Rochester down). This is when it gets difficult for me 5. Either the 2011 version or the 1996 version (both pretty flat in my opinion but Michael Fassbender does a good enough job). 6. The 1943 version (I mean really but Orson Welles has brilliant onscreen presence and his voice is dreamy). 7. The 1970 version (enough said on that one). There are more that just isn’t worth mentioning (at all).
