Jane Eyre

This film adaptation of Jane Eyre was quite amazing if I may say so myself. I thought that the characters cast were spot on especially Jane because the actress was plain yet not so simple there was an underlying layer that was quite intriguing, that is how I pictured Jane myself. Rochester was handsome but still had strong features that may not have been attractive to everyone but I myself rather liked him. Mrs. Reed and her children were just as I could imagine an air about them that made me dislike them but happy it was just a book and happy that they truly did not exist. Lowood and Thornfield were hard to imagine in my mind but going back through the text I guess that the film's depiction was rather good. Rochester's wife wasn't as scary as I thought she would be but looked the part of a lunatic locked away for a decade. I am about to finish the book and am to the part about the Rivers and how they are long lost cousins but am finding slight differences between the text and the film but all is to be expected.
