[Last Film I Watched] Wuthering Heights (1939) 7.9/10
A truncated screen adaptation of Emily Bronté's magnum opus, William Wyler's WUTHERING HEIGHTS concentrates on the torrid, toxic, fire and brimstone of Cathy and Heathcliff's love tangle within an audience-friendly running time (103 minutes) and squarely omits all the latter-half chapters of the novel.
Introducing a frame story on a gelid, wind-blustering, snowy night with a spooky but tactfully off-screen phantom of Cathy, the film unspools 40 years back to recount the...

Lawrence proves that he is worthy of Vivien Leigh with his acting skills
Lawrence Oliver is frightened as helpless and melancholy as a fawn, and as mad and passionate as Hamlet. . . Oliver is definitely not the tallest and most handsome actor, but his performance is artistic and dramatic, and his personality is too charming. No wonder Vivien Leigh likes, admires him, and stays together for twenty years. The eyes and lines are simply a kind of strange magic, elegant, sad, confused, persistent, persevering, worthy of being the "king of drama". The female number two...

It has been three hours since I arrived at the station at 6:50, when the subway entered the city, and when I found a star father to buy a cup of ice American to extend my life. During the period, I went to the toilet and watched the black and white movie "Wuthering Heights"
To be honest, it's not a good choice to watch it at this time. The stubborn view of love and the love and hate of the male and female protagonists will undoubtedly add a dark tone to the atmosphere for the meeting a...

When I first saw this movie when I was a teenager, I was amazed at her straightforward humanity and crazy love, and I loved it. So I gave full marks in my heart and went to watch "Wuthering Heights".
Of course, when I finish watching "Wuthering Heights", I can no longer give her full marks.
The Wuthering Heights in the movie is much less contradictory and sharp than the novel. The relationship between Ellen and Kathy is too harmonious, the old housekeeper Joseph has also...

I heard that there are discrepancies between the movie and the original book. The following is only for the movie. Is the male protagonist the villain? ! Heathcliff, what else do you know besides revenge? The heroine is married and harassing others. The most hateful thing is to seduce Lyndon's sister, who looks hostile to the whole world. The main problem of the heroine lies in the contradiction between herself and reality. She loves the hero, but reality forces her to choose Linden. Even...

Betrayal and ambition filled his life, and he destroyed himself and the woman he loved. Do people have to bow their heads to reality in the end? Is there no happy ending to reckless...

A self-respecting male protagonist and a vain and self-indulgent female protagonist torture each other in the fickleness of the female protagonist. . It's unforgivable that the male protagonist still beats the lady. Where does your self-esteem come from? Isn't it given to you by others? Both girls in my family were tricked by that kid. Linton probably roared in his heart, who did I provoke me? ! The adaptation is too romantic, and I can't raise a sense of identity. What about...
Cathy: Did Joseph see which way you came?
Heathcliff: What does it matter? Nothing's real down there. Our life is here.
Cathy: Yes, milord.
Cathy: It would be dreadful if Hindley ever found out.
Heathcliff: Found out what? That you talk to me once in a while?
Cathy: I shouldn't talk to you at all. Look at you! You get worse every day. Dirty and unkempt and in rags. Why aren't you a man? Heathcliff, why don't you run away?
Heathcliff: Run away? From you?
Cathy: You could come back to me rich and take me away. Why aren't you my prince like we said long ago? Why can't you rescue me, Heathcliff?
Heathcliff: Cathy, come with me now!
Cathy: Where?
Heathcliff: Anywhere!
Cathy: And live in haystacks and steal our food from the marketplaces? No, Heathcliff. That's not what I want.
Heathcliff: You just want to send me off. That won't do. I've stayed here and been beaten like a dog. Abused and cursed and driven man, but I stayed just to be near you. Even as a dog! And I'll stay till the end. I'll live and I'll die under this rock!
Cathy: Go on, Heathcliff. Run away. Bring me back the world.
Judge Linton: Pack this fellow off.
Heathcliff: I'm going. I'm going from here and from this cursed country both.
Judge Linton: Throw him out!
Heathcliff: But I'll be back in this house one day, Judge Linton and I'll pay you out. I'll bring this house down in ruins about your heads. That's my curse on you!
[spits on the floor]
Heathcliff: On all of you!
