Jane Eyre (1997)_ Proposal scene & Shopping in Millcote

[@BeeKool__113]

[@erinlaboricua]

This was my first Jane Eyre! As awkward as this kiss is, I have a soft spot for this version BECAUSE it was my first and introduced me to the book, and the many different film/television adaptations. I remember being floored by the description of being attached by "strings" tied within each other's ribs, and how he expressed taking to bleeding inwardly. It's beautiful.

[@mariakristinahawl1640]

I thought he asked if they would end up "beating inwardly for each other", meaning their hearts. I didn't know the word was "bleeding".

I don't get the mustache either. I always pictured Rochester with somewhat of a five o'clock shadow. But Ciaran's eyes are perfect. Dark and expressive.

Never mind that mustache! It'll be better if you 'll take a good look at the girl performing Adel's role. She and Mr Hinds have identical faces. Don't you agree?

[@catherinemelnyk]

They are absolutely the best Jane and Edward...ever!

[@OpatraCleo]

As we may all agree that the scenario is either a bit or way diffirent from this of the original text of the novel, it's not the case only for this movie adaptation. Yet, what makes this the best is the chemistry of this couple, the passion that is not to be felt in no other adaptation coz this couple is the closest to this one in the novel especially Rochester's temper and Jane's plainess, truthfulness, and unexperience. In short, of all the adaptations I've scene, this is the most authentic and touching one.

[@patriciabacelardemacedo452]

Indeed perfectly 'said'

[@patriciabacelardemacedo452]

Indeed, perfectly 'said'

[@8114梦见]

I’m still partial to the 1983 version, primarily because it covers more of her time after leaving Rochester. Especially the struggle she undergoes, and her self-determination in another environment. It fleshes out Jane’s character in a way that most adaptations don’t, as the romance normally takes center stage.

[@Milordvega]

3:06 Rochester: I have no bride. LOL

This is my favorite version of this book. The proposal scene gives me goosebumbs everytime I watch since I first saw it nearly in 1997 when I first saw it on PBs. Thank you for posting it!

[@historyboff23]

I'm going to be honest here and say that I wasn't a fan of this version (and I've watched every single version) However recently I've grown to actually like it. The actors show passion and love between the characters and although it's not true to the book, I think it's a good adaptation because I actually believe they are genuinely in love. Obviously Jane wouldn't know how to kiss because she's never had that closeness with a man like that but Mr Rochester is so in love with her, that he simply doesn't care. What was everyone's first kiss like? Mine was certainly not toe curling or heart thumping.

[@MMmm-bg9li]

I’ve had mine last week! Not disgusting in any way, but because it was with a guy I didn’t have a crush on, it didn’t feel “special” or memorable

[@MMmm-bg9li]

Mycroft Holmes well it was because of Truth or Dare. Honestly, not a big deal. Since then I’ve kissed another guy that I actually liked on multiple occasions and we started going out! Trust me, it’s not a big deal and even if you’re 20 your time will come. But I have to say you’re not missing out on too much :)

[@elasticheartdowntown]

This is exactly my opinion funnily enough and seems to be widely shared. A bit of distance and separation from the first watch does a world of good it seems.

[@danielasalazarsilva]

Mine was awkward. And not nice.

[@lizeltorio-zabalo5083]

The one with Timothy dalton is closer ro the book. Even snatches of the dialogue, With the "dammit" at the end, and when jane brushed mr Rochester s hair was included.

[@Kate28889]

To me, this is the best adaptation of the book and very underrated. All the other Rochester's and Jane's are either too dramatic or flat (in my opinion) and I think these two get it just right! 👌I always felt that in the novel Mr Rochester was quite humorous at times and this adaptation captured it perfectly 😊

I like this version. I have seen all the versions of Jane Eyre and read the books. As a young girl, it was my favourite book. The first version I saw was with George C. Scott and Susannah York-it was my first and my favourite until I saw the version with Michael Fassbender and I love this version the best. I enjoyed every version I have seen and I find that they add to my appreciation of the book.

[@MsAppeljack]

He is by far one of the best Mr. Rochester's that I have seen. His temperment alone is perfect for the role, he plays arrogant exceedingly well. And she is excellent. Dalton while very good looking, was just tooo good looking, and he was soft, oh he tried to sound viscious, but it was not very convincing.

This was the first adaption of Jane Eyre I ever seen when I was a little girl, and is the reason I remembered the story. To then go on and read the FANTASTIC novel.

[@jodi2847]

For all this version's flaws, I really love this scene and how hurried it is. Heightens the passionate tension considerably. Okay, the kiss IS awkward, but...I'm just about positive it's intentionally so. I mean, he swoops in and plants one on a total innocent. She would have been overwhelmed, and the second kiss would not have looked more adept.

[@thediedown9443]

[@KL-zj8ru]

I really like this scene. It's meant to be uncomfortable; she's in her late teens and he's in his forties. In the book he refers to her as his 'child bride'. At this point, they are still unequal and this scene really emphasises that. It also plays on Jane's complete lack of sexual experience and Rochester's overwhelming sexuality. From what I've seen of this version, the awkwardness and surprise of them falling in love is much better. Whilst this Rochester is less attractive (really don't like the moustache, I don't care how period it is), he isn't meant to be. If he is very good looking, it looks too manipulative. Jane may be plain but she has youth and freshness on her side whereas Rochester is damaged goods.

[@nora22000]

The mustache is NOT period; only military men wore mustaches like that one, and they were jealous enough about the decoration to actually challenge those who shouldn't have been wearing one. In the book, he is 35 or 37, not over 40. Jane's shell-shocked upbringing has her severely introverted, she is definitely 'damaged goods' and Rochester is depraved to the level that it takes a serious maiming and complete blindness to render him able to honestly account for his time and actions in a reliable way. (Imagine his end-of-story self flirting or seducing new mistresses, for example.) To me, this is a sad story with a happy ending.

[@ladynottingham89]

He is the truest to the way I imagined Rochester from the book. He was the most believable from all the other actors in Jane Eyre film adaptations. Just my humble opinion.

[@MarleanSweden]

[@hockeygirl8401]

Judith Randall Hinds Was fantastic in persuasion. Captain Wentworth was perfect for him. No he just doesn’t work as Mr. Rochester. The man is a good actor and I think he could probably play anyone but this is not his finest work and this is the casting director’s fault. The woman doesn’t have the youth that Jane would’ve had. Moreover no one can find the plain Jane that we all love.

[@judithrandall4690]

@@hockeygirl8401 Yes, he was gorgeous in Persuasion. But if you haven't already, you must see him in the 2009 British TV series, "Above Suspicion"; however, the first 20 minutes are brutal so you might want to skip that. He's much older and heavier and plays a present day macho police detective. But the relationship between he and his new young pretty recruit is terribly sexy and oddly romantic. Women have put together clips of this series with different love songs and they're terrific.

I don't think the actors are awkard kissers - it's a director choice IMO. It's stupid to have all this passion but then kiss with sealed lips like the 2006 Jane Eyre - it's not realistic. They would kiss with passion but actors can't mack down heavy duty on A&E - but the characters WOULD have. So they do this open mouth, heaving bosom, too excited-to-get-your-act-together choice. It works IMO.

So many comments about how Rochester should be this or Jane should be that. The best way to get the Rochester and Jane that you imagine is to stick with the novel and the versions you have in your imagination. A movie is not a novel. Even a movie that is based on a novel is still a movie, a different work than the novel on which it is based. There is no obligation for a director to follow the novel in detail.
