So I watched a bootleg version of the cut 85min version which was cut further by BBFC and was cut further when redistributed in the middle east. Overall was good but wouldn't mind seeing again the full version.
Decided to watch this after finishing the book. The cinematography is beautiful, but the script adaptation lacks the depth the book had.
There are light of light hearted moments, often time quite funny, that shows both Jane and Mr. Rochester's characters in full depth. Here, it focuses much more on the doom and gloom of Jane Eyre's life. You really see here become independent and self-aware in the book, in the film those aspects are missing.
At the end, you don't really get the sense that she has become this independent woman, but still the little girl she was at the beginning when she arrives at Thornfield.
The same goes for Mr. Rochester. In the book there's a moment where he dresses up as a gypsy to try break down Jane's defensive character. It's fun and playful scene in the book and really contrasts with his moments of pride and seriousness.
Actually really enjoyed this one. Anyone who is familiar with Allen's latest work knows it's not safe to except a masterpeice. However this was a fun little film to watch, sparking something interesting questions about philosphy, luck and rationality.
Like the differences between Wine and Beer, the film perfectly captures the differences between extroverts and introverts and how that all ties in when being in a relationship. It was only after watching the film did I realise it was entirely improvised - considering how brilliantly and sophisticated the subtext really shines through does it prove to be an amazing job on director Joe Swanberg's part.
The book tends to be vague at times so I was skeptical how they were going to do it, especially with ending it. I'm happy with how they did it, not the best thing ever - but definitely better then the recent young adult sci-fi adaptations that hollywood have been spewing out recently.
