Watching this movie is like seeing an old friend. It's not showing off, it's titled in English. Just like when I read the introduction, some people called it "Wuthering Heights", while others called it "Roaring Heights". I rather agree with the latter. Because of the word "roaring", there is more intense hatred. Back then I wrote book reviews. This time I'm writing a movie review. I still remember how I felt about Kathy at the time, she was too selfish. The way I feel about Kathy now is that she doesn't actually think about how Heathcliff feels. But there is no doubt that She really loves him. And so deeply. Often some people think of each other out of their own good intentions, but the truth is just the opposite. Heathcliff did not understand the way she supposedly loved him. He left her, and this farewell indirectly caused a series of tragedies that followed.
Discrimination, the status gap, and the beginning of the tragedy. If Hendley could accept the child who was brought back by his father, he would be regarded as his own brother. Maybe this story will not begin. Because Heathcliff was a gypsy, and gypsies were synonymous with discrimination at the time. His sense of superiority led him to dislike Heathcliff very much. Hendley mocked him, abused him, discriminated against him. Just because Heathcliff is a gypsy boy. He would not allow his sister, Kathy, to have any interaction with the wild child. Therefore, Heathcliff was very humble at the time. Even though, his Casey was by his side with him. However, he could not tolerate for a moment, Hendley's abuse of him. Hate, from this moment on, is deeply rooted and out of control. Heathcliff had said that sooner or later, he would get his revenge on Hendley once and for all.
Love is his only purpose of lingering on, but love has also become the thrust of his final madness and revenge. Kathy is a kind girl who loves Heathcliff deeply. She understands his pain, and for her, he will never leave her. She knew that the biggest obstacle between her and him was status. So, she delusionally wanted to use the power of the Linton family to be with him. She wants to be Linton's wife, so that she can help his beloved escape the constraints of status. But she may never have thought that it is impossible for any man to accept that the person she loves becomes someone else's wife in the end. It's ridiculous, and it's outrageous. He felt she was betraying him. He, who always thought she would never leave, finally rode his black horse into anger and roared away. With a mixture of love and hate, he began the next three years of life.
He is back. Complete revenge begins. He could say he had everything. But it can also be said that there is nothing. The person she loves is married to Linton. First of all, Hendley, this must be the first object of his revenge. He abused Hendley in the same way. Finally took Wuthering Heights from Hendley. Because Linton stole his favorite Casey, he began to attack Linton's sister. Heathcliff's return makes Kathy both happy and terrified, knowing that he's finally back after three years of waiting, but she has to face the frenzied revenge he's about to begin. He is no longer the angel in her eyes, he has become a demon. But she still loves him. But he quickly captured the heart of Sister Linton with his handsome appearance and evil spirit. Then throw it away. At this point, Casey was on the verge of madness and found herself pregnant with Linton's child. It didn't take long for Linton's sister to find out that she had a child with Heathcliff. Casey nearly collapsed and contracted incurable pneumonia. Heathcliff breaks into Linton's home to see Casey one last time. Katherine is born, while Heathcliff's favorite Kathy dies in her beautiful dream with a smile.
Casey's death did not quench Heathcliff's anger. He vowed revenge on the next generation, and he married his son to Kathy's daughter, Katherine. He clearly knew that Hendley's son liked Catherine very much. He had thought that this revenge would be successful. But he didn't expect the moment when he saw Catherine and Hendley's son together. He flashed back to him and Casey many years ago. As if Catherine and Hendley's son was their past. He stopped taking revenge and, one day, took his own life with a gun. There was a slight smile at the corner of his mouth when he died, maybe it was Casey who came to pick him up. There is not so much disturbance in heaven, and they can finally be together well.
The film is very nice. There were times when I almost thought of myself as Heathcliff and nearly cried when Casey died. Just imagine how painful it will be when the one she loves the most is about to leave. He loves her, he hates her, but he still loves her. Indeed Heathcliff is a character that is pitiful and hateful. I can feel his pain and his anger, but I don't want to see his hatred run wild. Hate makes him reborn, but hate makes him annihilate.
There have been many times when I have also been filled with great resentment. I also once said to myself that I must hold on to these resentments and go on strong. However, is it really a good way to make me stronger with resentment? Love and hate are only on the right, but the heart is on the left. This may be the difference between them. Some things are not in the heart but in the mind. The heart may be extremely warm, but the mind is extremely cold.
Some things you may never have thought about, but it just happens. God is unfair, how many people live in heaven, and how many people live in dark hell with self-pity. Some people are born noble, and some people are born low. One thing I admire about Heathcliff is that he doesn't believe in destiny, he hates God. So do I. Some people turn around and leave in the end even if your love is alive and dead. I used to think that loving each other would last forever. Now I know that this is ignorance. If I could, I'd take revenge like him. However, now I have only learned to go with the flow. What is yours is yours after all, status, love and all kinds of other things.
If I could, I'd like to rant like that again, with all my hate, and all my love.
