after watching

When I was a kid, I watched a little bit of the movie on the Central Set every Sunday afternoon, and I remembered the location of the villa and the scene of Catherine's death. When I took the English Literature and Film elective at university, I saw the summary of the article and the excerpt from the 1939 edition. Before that, I didn't know much about Wuthering Heights, much less thoroughly. In fact, I couldn't empathize with the love of Catherine and Heathcliff written by Emily Brontë. Four years ago, I read the Chinese version of the book, and even wrote a few thousand words of synopsis and after reading. As you write, slowly recall this line of Heathcliff's revenge in the original text. I really appreciate Heathcliff's morbid view of love. If he can't get it, he will be destroyed, and even his descendants will not be spared. Many of the psychological descriptions and language descriptions of Heathcliff and Catherine in the original text are large. But in the movie, it's only when they die that there is a lot of dialogue and inner narrative. When I read the original book, I imagined Catherine as a person with little sense of class and a lot of sympathy. But the only thing I can't understand is that I love Heathcliff all the time, but I fell in love with Edgar in Thrushcross Heights. And till she died, she still said she loved Heathcliff. In the first half of the movie, I couldn't understand what the heroine was doing and kept giggling. Also, there are no clips explaining the grievances Heathcliff suffered in Wuthering Heights when he was a child. If you haven't read the original book, it should be difficult to understand his motives for revenge, and you may misunderstand that revenge is just for love. If the movie is purely a romance, it's fine. The overall plot is very strong, the actors' acting skills are very deep into the hearts of the characters, and each scene feels very different. Wuthering Heights is full of mournful and dreary cool colors, Thrushcross Heights is full of candlelight, and the characters are all dressed in warm colors. The final picture of the movie has more colors, which should indicate a happy ending. But I still can't appreciate such possessive love and almost pathological revenge.

Wuthering Heights quotes

  • Heathcliff: Misery and degradation and death and nothing that God or Satan could inflict would have parted us, you of your own will, did it. I have not broken your heart - you have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine.

  • 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.
