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.
