Jane Eyre – A Movie Review

I had the privilege of watching the movie: Jane Eyre.

Jane Eyre is based off of a novel of the same name by Charlotte Bronte. (A book I have never read.)

Jane Eyre was filmed on location in England. The movie was filmed in 1997. It was produced by London Weekend Television and A&E Television Networks. The screenplay was written by Kay Mellor. The director of the movie was Robert Young. Samantha Morton plays Jane Eyre opposite Ciarin Hinds as Mr. Rochester. The movie is about 108 minutes long.

Jane Eyre is about a young lady who at a early age was orphaned and mistreated. She obtains a position as a governess where she falls in love and becomes engaged. All seems full of joy for her as her wedding day dawns but suddenly a dark secret is unearthed and threatens to destroy all her happiness. This movie begins rather confusing and very sad but improves as it goes along. It is very well acted.

I would not recommend this movie for young children. One of the characters reveals an ugly past life of sin without showing any regret for it.

I would recommend this movie to adults, both young and old.

    Hello Rebekah,

    I'm sorry I haven't commented in quite sometime.

    That was a very good review. I haven't seen the movie or read the book, but I would like to do both.

    Love to hear from you,

    I havent seen this version, but have seen the 1996 one with Charlotte Gainsborough and thought it was good…I will have to watch this one to compare.
