Jane Eyre:
"Remember, the shadows are just as important as the light."
Mr. Brocklehurst: And what is hell? Can you tell me that?
Young Jane: A pit full of fire.
Mr. Brocklehurst: And should you like to fall into that pit, and to be burning there forever?
Young Jane: No sir.
Young Jane: Keep well and and not die, sir.
Last night Ry & I went finally went to see Jane Eyre*. First we picked up some thai food at the Thai House (such a cute restaurant in downtown SR) and brought our steamy bowls of curry & rice to the movie with us. I always love our movie dates especially after a long day at work, and at first I was unsure about the movie but I absolutely loved it! Such a whimsical, ethereal, gothic film. I love Jane. I admired her character's sense of morality, independence, and wit. Now I can't wait to read the book! Cheers to making my summer book list!
*a special thanks to the husband, who works two jobs, one of which allows us to see free movies!
I loved the movie. It's remarkable how much it's like the book. They did a really great job with it. Of course the book is better, but that goes without saying.
ReplyDeleteI love that movie!!!!thnx for the lovely comment!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the movie but loved the book. I even wrote an essay on a state test on it in high school. Maybe I can convince my fellow to go see it with me, though I got him to watch a whimsical movie with me recently so it might take a good amount of convincing.
ReplyDelete(It was Micmacs and it was lovely. He teases me about like "whimsical" movies which is fine because I tease him about liking philosophical foreign films.)
I haven't seen this, but I have heard so much good about it.
