Movie Vs. Book
I think that the movie went very quickly and overall left a lot of key scenes out of the play. One of these scenes being the part where Rochester plays the role of a gypsy in order to create jealousy in Jane. I think that without this, we lose some sense of the direction of the movie. Other things that struck me when I was watching the movie was the characters; some characters were left out, like the other cousin of Jane and others like St. John, did not portray the roles that Bronte wrote. The part of St. John I felt was played poorly because it did not trully show how devote St. John was toward god. The movie appeared to me as if it was rushed through and if I had not read the book prior to watching the movie, I would have believed that there was not plot line in the movie because the scenes seemed to just jump from one to the other. I also felt as if the characters feelings were portrayed well enough to convince me of their feelings for one another.
Character Portralys
The Characters from in the novel Jane Eyre and in the movie were totally different it almost seemed like they were opposite from what they were potrayed in the book.For instance Jane seemed prettier than described in the book, Rochester was perfectly casted in my opinion. Many charachters seemed to look better than described in the novel. Bertha i had imagined to look more crazy but she was just as i had imagined her phsyically. All in all the charchter potrayls werent that bad.
Movie vs Novel
Jane Eyre in the novel and the movie were very different. Many things werent even shone in the movie if i hadnt read the book the movie wouldnt even make since. For instance St. John didnt have two cousins, (Diana and Mary) as in the novel in the movie he only had one Diana. St. John also found Jane in the woods instead of in the novel were as Jane found their house came knocking on the door and was refused to come in but since she was a peculiar case st. john allowed her to come in and rest. In another case that also happened in the novel that didnt happened in the book was that Jane and St. John never relieazed they were cousins, and Jane never became rich. Also Jane told St. John her real name as in the novel were she told him a fake name. The movie left many different scenes from the novel that seemed very important to novel out from the movie. Making from after watching the novel very dissapointing, the acting was good and it the movie didnt really flow but over all its a ok film.
