I remember his St, John not being very…St. John-ey. He well…he emoted to much much for the infamously reserved and dour character. Overall I was kinda meh on this adaptation (Yes Stachy Rochester weirded me out. He seemed too much like a petulant child to me at times). I remember one scene I rather enjoyed in spite of myself. A new scene where Rochester takes Jane shopping post engagement and they run into Blanche and we get to see her taken down a peg. Not a very necessary scene, but oooooh it as satisfying XD

Thank you for the kind words, Melanie (-: And happy to find a fellow “liker” of this Jane Eyre. And I totally agree on the kiss — hadn’t really thought about her never having seen a kiss before, but you are totally right. She has lived a very cloistered life up to that point…

Thanks, Dixie-Ann (-: Be prepared to hate it at first, but it has seriously grown on me. I watched it twice as I was getting ready to write this review, and each time I saw something new and began to like it more and more. Rochester is not quite as bellowing as he first comes across….

I was attracted by the same thing! Rupert Penry-Jones is a strong point in favour of this movie for me.

Very briefly, very briefly. There wasn’t a whole lot of time for all that convalescing stuff and teaching stuff and finding out that she’s an heiress stuff or even learning that they’re relatives stuff. They even dropped a sister, so there was just one Rivers sister…
