Title: Cliff Notes Version
Product review: This version was awfully butchered. It felt like I was fast-forwarding through the entire novel. The actors were fine, but the dialogue they were given was so trite that I found myself wincing through most of it. The script lost a lot of the novel's "punch" and intensity. This DVD is definitely going into the Salvation Army bin. I couldn't sit through it again.My favorite version of Jane Eyre is still the 1983 version with Timothy Dalton - good dialogue, fine acting, and great film score, plus at 311 minutes the original story remains pretty much in tact.I also love Timothy Dalton's version of Wuthering Heights - never a dry eye at the end of that one. Beautiful, haunting film score.
