I read wuthering heights. i liked it a good bit despite the hard and/or long dialogue parts of Joseph and some old writing style. i see why its a classic. its got a very dark/tragic plot. requited love unjoined. basic i guess, but still something people enjoy?
anyways. i wanted to watch the movie. [i love my library.] so i requested it and got it to watch, though a little while after my 'mood of wuthering heights'** wore off. it was the ralph fiennes and juliette binoche version. great expectations. i was sorely disappointed. their performances weren't awful or anything. i think the writers simply tried to make what could have been a very long but good movie into something shorter, thus more enjoyable, but which was still long, and since it had to be watered down, it was just ..fail. i would have been fine with a long version of good quality.
i was sad cuz it was a really good book. and the movie failed to show how strong cathy and heathcliff's feelings were. so everything after that fell apart. i could watch it cuz i knew what was happening, but jess was just in misery, i think.
poor man.
i mean, even if it was good, i think he would have found it a bit boring.. xD
anyways. i hope they make a new version sometime, since that one was done in '92 i think. it was alright. good make up and set and stuff. i just want a GOOD version of this book.
