some thoughts

The degree of restoration of the original is very high, almost completely restored. After reading the book, watch the movie to further deepen the thinking of the original. Due to the rapid development of the plot, there are many things omitted from the original work, and the change of the plot lacks appropriate foreshadowing, so the plot seems to jump. If you watch a movie without reading a book, you may feel more inexplicable. After all, the film is less than two hours long, and it is difficult to tell the story of "Wuthering Heights" with such a time capacity.

But for the original party, the plots of this movie are all classic fragments, so they are more thought-provoking. The visual visual language also makes it easier to convey the integrated artistic conception of Wuthering Heights to readers, making readers feel its gloom and desolation. But for what Edgar said when he died, I think it seemed that Edgar was a little selfish, rather than really loving and thinking about his daughter. The design of these lines seems unreasonable. I don't remember that in the book.

If the characters of "Wuthering Heights" are to be turned into symbols, it is sensibility and rationality, primitive wildness and human civilization, marriage and love.

I quite like the ending. Halton and Little Catherine are together, as if returning to the original time when Heathcliff and Big Catherine were together. But at this time Halton and little Catherine were more integrated than before. Edgar fused in these two children.

Wuthering Heights quotes

  • Heathcliff: Why did you betray your own heart, Cathy? You loved me. And what right had you to leave me? The poor fancy you felt for Linton? Nothing that God or Satan could inflict would have parted us. You of your own will did it. I've not broken your heart Cathy, you have broken it. And in breaking it, you've broken mine.

  • Heathcliff: I pray one prayer, I repeat it till my tongue stiffens. Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living! You said I killed you, haunt me, then!... Be with me always, take any form, drive me mad, only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you!... I cannot live without my life. I cannot live without my soul.
