WUTHERING HEIGHTS Part 4

part IV

[@TheBambieyes]

What I like about Cathy and heathcliff's love is that its not romantic, soft and kind (the way I initially envision love); but its passionate, consuming and painful. I never thought love could be like that until I read the book. I love the part when she said "I am heathcliff....." that was deep.....

[@pamduchmann2947]

I am Chetta.

[@silviamagliano1171]

I agree. I like this kind of love. Not the romantic but the passionate. It's sooo unique!!! Love it!!

[@Shadowkiss1]

I agree with the ones who say she giggles too much. I didn't imagine Cathy giggling so much all the time.

[@JessicaLouise0601]

I think Julliette Binoche delivers in this film like no other actress. When she's confessing her love for Heathcliff it's just amazing, I cry everytime, and Ralph Fiennes is amazing as Heathcliff. I like how she captures Cathy's wildness, it's just great! Best version!! xx

[@KekoaOnorati]

Yes, Cathy becomes very mean, but I love the part where Ellen asks her about marrying Edgar, "Where's your obsticle?" and she points to her heart and answers "Here." Suddenly you know she's being honest finally.

[@silviamagliano1171]

Yes. But she should've demostrate it to Hearhcliff. As she said her love for him was as the eternal rocks. Poor Heathcliff!! He suffered so much!!

[@farjanaahmed4939]

I really love how real Cathy can be whenever she's around Nellie not only Nellie is a narrator, she's also like a therapist only she can see the real Cathy. And also this may seem irrelevant to anyone but I love how the lightening shines over at Cathy through the dark, it was so beautiful yet haunting at the same time....I don't know but at that moment to me it felt like it was showing Cathy's future of becoming ghost in the story. I believe they captured that beautifully in the movie what a way show that sign. Just my opinion.

[@tamarabedic9601]

Yes; they used the lightening to suggest her death and her ghost. In Bronte's book, she has a dream of dying and being kicked out of heaven onto the moors.

[@irishspeaker1]

Cathy didn't deserve Heathcliff, always putting him down and telling him how stupid he is

[@fietsvriend]

Cathy and Heathcliff are twin souls (twin flames), they share the same soul.The trouble with their reuniting is :the ego of Catherine stands in their way so they cannot go together fully

[@JupiterPlanet333]

I only wish someone like Heathcliff would love me that way. In this polluted world of love today, it is very hard to find true love like that. I hope he finds me.

[@angiebirdsall5132]

She fell in love with his lifestyle, and wealth. If she hadn't...how different everyone's lives would have been.

[@AucklandNZ1]

I can cope with Heathcliff and Kathy being older ; especially as Ralph Finnes in the role as Heathcliff. I've read the book so many times and seen so many versions of this movie, this is my favourite. It remains, and will always remain an amazing classic and no doubt we will see many more in the future. I love the story.

[@syedaelia5336]

One of my favorite novels..In this 1992 version, the actors did justice to the characters, especially Heathcliff played by Ralph Fiennes. Whenever I read the book, My heart always aches for others' behavior towards Heathcliff.

[@fietsvriend]

C & H were twin souls (twin flames) that's why he gets so upset.They share the same soul.And her ego stands in their way,that gives a lot of tension.Nowadays a "degradation" is no longer a point of importance but times were different then...

[@KornerCats]

this cathy seriously annoys me so much. i did not picture her this way at all when i read the book. she was much more passionate and fierce with emotion and fire, not ditzy and constantly laughing and humming. the actor portraying heathcliff does a much better job.

[@skylawilliams7296]

The best lines ever....love for Heathcliff...

[@fondafondant2158]

I like Juliette Binoche in this role EXCEPT when she giggles. Fiennes is the perfect brooding hero/villain with a knockout profile. McTeer is, of course, wonderful. The costuming was perfect--so often, period films become a showcase for beautiful dresses. The gritty realism of the childbirth scene and Heathcliff eating with his fingers were jarring and memorable.

[@hudstar2011]

creepy? - i thought it was really sad, a hardened guy trying to express pain. To him these dots and crosses showed Cathy she favoured Linton over himself - he used evidence as a confrontation for what he couldnt say.

[@msaunders908]

I hate how Cathy always giggles. When I think of Cathy, I don't think of her as absent-minded.

[@laurenlfc48]

That's waht it is kind of meant to do. The book isn't suppose to make you love Cathy or Heathcliff, it is supposed ot make you show how obsession and jealousy and social status can ruin a relationship.

[@hudstar2011]

yep - they both definately loved each other to death.

[@presea89]

Yes, I love Brontes' books!

[@jessica_jam4386]

I usually really like Juliette Binoche, but man. The non stop laughing mixed with the French accent really makes for a terrible rendition of Catherine Earnshaw. That said, I do enjoy a lot about this adaptation. The English landscapes, overcast skies, the musical score, and feel of the movie really capture the feeling of reading the book for me. I do hope one day though that we get a great actor portraying Heathcliff who looks like book Heathcliff. We’ve had great actors playing him of course, I just want to see him played once by someone who naturally looks like a gypsy and not a white British guy that is just covered in dirt and given a messy wig.

What Heathcliff did with the calendar markings was so romantic! Wish someone did that for me, Cathy was so selfish enough to notice that though.

It was not romantic at all. It was a sign of possessiveness and jealousy. He could have visited the Lintons with her anytime he wanted. He was angry at not being the center of her attention.

Juliette Binoche's Cathy is too giggly. It's incredibly grating.

[@ErinLovesTheWorld]

Goodness Heathcliff. If you've been marking off how Catherine's been spending her days, you DON'T tell her that! Didn't you attend Stalker 101?!

[@chancycat9822]

I'm sorry but a lot of people keep going on about Juliette Binoche's strong French accent! . .I'm sorry but I don't just hear it that much I really don't... and if it's supposed to be that strong!(and I notice stuff like that! ..then why does it seem that I'm the only hear that it doesn't seem to bother? but you know it kinda works here you know? (and I think that Juliette Binoche has a beautiful voice,I used to work for this lady named Paulette,but everyone called her Jackie..very,very French with an extremely thick accent,I sometimes had to ask her to repeat something if I didn't get it)... And I'm just saying that it doesn't bother me that much that at all, And I think that she sounds just fine!)..and she does a very,very good job here!( with the character and voice)...maybe a little bit to much giggling...but look at Cathy from the book right? We all know that both her and Heathcliff both had a couple of screws loose if you ask me! And that's the truth!

[@bkimatab]

@LCMac3 Agreed. The 2009 version was the best adaption in both characterization and story development on screen. This is just flat even for a costume drama. Ralph Fiennes is the best thing in this movie, but he can't even save it.

[@cherylhulting1301]

I like the 2009 version but it's not very faithful to the novel. This 1992 version, with all its issues, is closer to the book. The second half of the 2009 version also falls a little flat after Charlotte Riley's Cathy dies. I find this 1992 version problematic but I do want to give it that much acknowledgment. I love Juliette Bundchen but feel she is miscast in this part. I do love Ralph Fiennes' Heathcliff; he and the script are ready to descend into Satanic hero territory, Heathcliff as written, and he does the haunted Heathcliff very well.

[@TheFunnyjessi]

Ralph Fiennes is so amazing *__*

[@chancycat9822]

I have to admit though Juliette Binoche was the correct age I feel to portray Cathy..Orla Brady was 37 years old!( and romping around the moors as a teenager?) In the Masterpiece Theatre version Wuthering Heights 1998 version..Juliette Binoche was also a prettier Cathy then Orla Brady was look at the difference...

[@different94V]

ou maan its so sad when heathcliff leaves before he heard that cathy loves him..and she cries...i almost started crying when i read the book

[@Claimtofame]

The thing that bothers me about the movie versions of Wuthering Heights is that it doesn't properly display how despicable Cathy is. In the book, you're never sure whether to hate or pity Cathy. And Nelly and her never had this relationship- Nelly actually rather despises her. So while this story holds charm on it's own, it is actually very little like the book when talking about character.

[@ndinonzibuhle]

Guys remember this is back in the days when love was based on money and how rich you were

[@justynawojcicka4714]

Now everything is abaut many too

[@chancycat9822]

@Blessing..Yes well thing's are still the same way nowadays! Still men and women are marrying for money!..But back then about a few hundred years ago a woman didn't have many choices open to her! And had to marry for money because well it isn't like today where now we have career women!..Back then most women were not permitted to work..well they could have worked..but it was highly frowned upon...I do understand why she did marry Edgar even though they were at best just "good friends at the most"..When she describes her love for Edgar it's like she's saying I'm marrying my second best friend in the world..and I love him but just as a friend..and I'm going to make the best out of it..But when she describes her love for Heathcliff that is true love..but no offense,but Heathcliff was not really motivated to go and get a good job and was lazy!.He could have tried harder instead of always moping around..like a love sick puppy dog..Honestly what woman is turned on by that? And any woman in their right mind would prefer a nice warm house..instead of being homeless and sleeping on haystacks and begging for food! and wearing rags! And Heathcliff had plenty of time to make something of his life and marry Cathy before Edgar did..but he got angry and ran away..How did Cathy know he was going to come back..Cathy always gets a bad rap..oh she's selfish,and materialistic..yes she was..but there was a sort of method to her madness..her problem was that...when in Heathcliff came back..she should have just not seen him so much and maybe she could have had a happy and satisfying life with Edgar and Heathcliff should have tried to make a go of it with Isabella but he did not!

Now look what happened? Where is she? She's dead! And my niece is a drug addict and has been in and out of so many rehabs you would not believe!...and she keeps burning her bridges..so I tend to strongly disagree with you there ok?..Now even though Wuthering Heights is just a fictional story the characters in the story are like a lot of people you know like in your own family for instance..Hindley was an alcoholic, and just a jealous,self destructive coward and fool! These people like most people in life are their own worst enemies!..And they make horrible decisions!..Like my sister and my niece did and are doing! when you do these kinda things expect for bad things to happen it goes along with the territory! But then again people who are good people and are Christian people the same thing's can happen to them also..but not as much ...because your saved people unlike your unsaved people who don't know God are different your person who is saved has HOPE..Cathy and Heathcliff were not saved so they did not have HOPE in Jesus Christ..their hope was in eachother and people unfortunately will always fail you!

I love Juliette Binoche, but I don't enjoy her performance here in WH. She's not an actress who can project Cathy's wildness and capriciousness convincingly.

@ILikeABandCalldOasis I always found him childish and high maintenance. Though I love the character of Heathcliff, I've always found him as petty. Not only does he make those who "wronged" him suffer( and rightly so in the case of HIndley), but he does so through the use and manipulation of innocents (Isabella Linton), and continues on his crusade of cruelty long after those he originally set out to punish have perished. I still give Ralph Fiennes' portrayal 5 fan-girl "squees" out of 5.

[@janesgems7]

I think he was a product of his life...we knew nothing of what he'd been through before Earnshaw found him, and post the old man's death he was abused by Hindley...then after he was 'jilted' once again, we know nothing of what he endured as he 'earned' his fortune. Heathcliff oddly reminds me a lot of Sweeney Todd in the Sondheim musical....two men broken by life's injustices who were consumed by revenge and ultimately it destroyed them as well as those who had hurt them.

[@madcatchmindways]

I know everybody has their own inner, subjective vision of what a befitting adaptation of 'Wuthering Heights' should be like...so I'm aware my own views are every bit as subjective here...but despite the beautiful soundtrack and the equally beautiful, natural landscapes, there's just so much about this version that doesn't stand up to the material of the novel. Everyone keeps saying how "hot" Ralph Fiennes is, but I personally don't see that at all. In any case, what makes the portrayal good shouldn't be how "hot" the actor is. Heathcliff is an enormously complex character, and I think Fiennes' portrayal of Heathcliff is completely stagnant and inert. Throughout the film his actions seem to be completely unjustified and without context, and he is never driven to commit any of the atrocities that he does in the novel. Juliette Binoche is simply a bizarre casting choice...for one thing, she has a French accent. The Earnshaw's are clearly a family of the land-owning/farming gentry class. Why would Cathy have a French accent? The story is set in West Yorkshire, she should have an accent that reflects this. She also has a lot in common with Fiennes in that her portrayal of Cathy - the stormy, wayward, formidable, boisterous, passionate, indomitable character Bronte wrote - is passive and plain. I get that the director maybe wanted to subvert the audiences expectations and has tried to achieve a more restrained, slow burning effect but honestly, watching this film I kept waiting for just one blaze of the wild entropic passion that Emily Bronte's soul was all about, and it never comes. And why - WHY? - is Sinead O'Connor floating around narrating in this unconscious, bored monotone? This is like a wooden version of 'Wuthering Heights'. It's 'Wuthering Heights' reimagined as a silly period drama romance, when the truth is the novel is far from this.
