Jane Eyre (1983)_ Return to Thornfield Hall

What a beautiful English language they speak. I had forgotten English could be so elegant. The diction, the accent, etc.

Timothy Dalton epitomised Rochester like no other.. watching him over and over is a joy one can never tire of....

[@bobbyelmi4324]

I love it when he says stay your feet at a friend’s threshold. It warms my heart considering how horrible of a life she had before thorn field

[@maineclayton2419]

3:49 I really love how Zelah delivered that line because it sounded so pleasing yet quite melancholic (she expected that Mr. Rochester will never love her in return at that time). Whenever I read that in the novel, I imagine it's based on Zelah's voice.

[@DorynaRobertson-zt5jo]

[@joylederman4501]

@@famillepillon7447 Ciaran Hinds portrays Rochester as a loud, brash, seemingly drunken, abusive bully. From what I understand, he did a much better portrayal in an earlier radio adaptation, which leads me to believe that it was the Director's fault. Ugh!

[@OreadNYC]

I have to say that while Michael Fassbender and Toby Stephens definitely had their strong points when it comes to portraying Rochester, Timothy Dalton will in my opinion always be the one who came closest to embodying the character that Miss Bronte describes in her book...right down to the dark hair and saturnine countenance and rather frosty, sometimes abrupt manner.

[@onemercilessming1342]

OreadNYC--You'd enjoy his performance as Rhett Butler in "Scarlett", the series adapted from Alexandra Ripley's novel of the same name (the story of Scarlett and Rhett AFTER the "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a d*mn" line).

Чудесний фильм,роскошний мужчина

[@Iatraviata69]

very interesting and raffiniert is here, that Rochester is drawing in the nature, deviating from the novel, waiting for her return on her way, knowing that she would come by feet. So he takes over her favorite hobby painting, to be near to her in her absence, by longing for her. And he is drawing her now, to have an image of her, lacking a Handycam to make secretly a photo of her. He tears the prior drawing of the dead treeroot, but hides and ensures his painting of Jane under the character pad for his own. 😂 And he is dressed by a coat in her hair colour.

[@2_limmas_768]

I always wonder what Rochester is sketching in this scene. At first, it seems like the landscape, and then he keeps glancing up at Jane like he's sketching her. Idk.

[@jltavare]

I checked my book. He was writing, not drawing. So it can be anything you like.

[@monmothma3358]

He doesn't seem to be writing, judging from his hand movements, and the sound...And the way he tells Jane to "stand still" then looks down at his pad is peculiar..

[@deborahhanna6640]

Yep- the filmmakers are clearly intimating that whatever he is doing before - he stops & changes pages. It is a sweet lost opportunity that she doesn't reach down to see it. Or ask nicely- since he saw her sketches when they first met. Wonder how he would have reacted or explained it away. "Oh i just put you in the foreground to emphasize the tree." The only 'coming back to Thornfield' scene i like better is Ciaran Hinds up on the wall. Just casually hanging out up on the battlements, being 7' tall but invisible, quite obviously watching for her. Then they proceed to have the most ridiculous conversation about writing letters to the dog. I always thought he should have written her a letter- supposedly from the dog saying, "I woof you. -Pilot."

[@debbieblackman3650]

Yes you can clearly see he is sketching there. I would have loved to have known what

@@catiebloomfield9596 From 3.16 to 3.44 you can see him holding what I believe is a charcoal stub - though it would've been easier to determine exactly what it is if this were a higher resolution vid! (The vid was uploaded 14 years ago, and it might be all that's allowed anyway by the copyright holder, so I'm certainly not criticising the uploader)

[@Kittypinkyy]

The omission of his reference to her return-"to steal into the vicinage of your home"-refering to Thornfield as her home and the implication he would be grievously affected if she'd forgotten him-"Absent from me a whole month, and forgetting me quite, I'll be sworn"is somewhat of a flaw.

[@heloisamariani]

This is such a great version, the most similar to the book, for sure. But I did miss the part where he states that Thornfield is her home, it's so touching.

"Wherever you are is my home... my only home." Is not enough confession of love for him to act on? Is he waiting for a gold-engraved calling card? It took him TWO WEEKS after that to decide to wiggle her into declaring herself further before he could propose! At least in the Ciaran Hinds version, he takes her aside inmediately after the 'return' scene.

Dalton nailed Rochester's tormented character, he is an accomplished actor of stage and screen. She seemed to suffer his superior acting skills. I'm not lying when I say that I postponed the vision of this adaptation for years simply because I believe she single-handedly ruined it with a portrayal of Jane which is different from the book - unemotional, passionless, meek. It's hard for me to believe that a man like Rochester could fall in love with this version of Jane, albeit she was probably directed to be demure.
