There used to be a made for TV version of Jane Eyre filmed sometimes in the 1970s. JC Scull from Gainesville, Florida on September 11, 2020: Your review has encouraged me to watch this version Louise and I'm sure it will be enjoyable. I fell in love with this book at school and have watched an earlier film adaptation. Dame Judy Dench, who plays Mrs Fairfax, plays an excellent part, as you would expect. Although Mr Rochester seems quite a bit older than young Jane in this version, I think the connection between them is real.
And I think with the difficult life that Jane has had, I really think she found someone she emotionally connected with.

I sincerely believe he did had feelings towards her, only I don't think he knew how to deal with other aspects of his life, like Blanche and Bertha. She had such a difficult childhood growing up, only to be treated like this by Edward, although not intentionally. Only when Jane finds out about these secrets, you can see it hurts her. He's a likeable man, but also has secrets and, I believe, demons in his life that he keeps well hidden. I found that the actors that played Jane and Edward had a good connection and portrayed their characters well.Īlthough Edward Rochester isn't in the film as much as what Jane Eyre is, he comes as a strong and dark character. I found the story quite Gothic, set in this big stately home. So I can't compare the film to the book, or even to other adaptations. I really should read the book, but I haven't.
