#青光光影# The 1939 version of "Wuthering Heights" I don't really remember the content of the original work, but this version has major deletions. The story ends when the hero and heroine die, and there is no story for the next generation. Netizens commented that Lawrence Oliver was not a perfect performance, his temperament was inconsistent, and the teenage male protagonist was born to be a playwright. What I understand is that there is not enough greed, no love, no hatred, and no good death. In the end, it is a distorted character. I even feel that the heroine's father should not have a good intention and bring him home. There are too many things that can’t be loved. Of course, what is more Buddhist is the letting go, freedom, and blessings of the Buddhist system. As far as the male protagonist's sex is concerned, he won't cherish it if he gets it. Don't think that movies from 80 years ago will be "backward", except that the technology is not as good as 2019, and several versions of movies in the past 80 years can't surpass the 1939 version, the Oscar for Best Picture. It is like the public knowledge class of China in 2019 is not as good as the public knowledge of the Republic of China in 1939. If you are not convinced, please use the academic works of the public knowledge to speak. Science and technology will progress, but ideas will only retreat if they don't advance. People will live seven or eighty years if they are good, and the risk of reincarnation is extremely high. The 1939 version of "Wuthering Heights" has strong artistic expression, from shooting to modeling to soundtrack, it is a work that can be enjoyed. I also watched another version of "Wuthering Heights" before, but I didn't quite understand it. It must be because I didn't do enough homework. I'll be able to understand it if I continue to watch it a few more times. Novels rely on penmanship, but movies rely on performances. There is no need to insist on respecting the original work, otherwise most screenwriters will lose their jobs.

Wuthering Heights quotes

  • Cathy: He seems to take pleasure in being mean and brutal. And yet, he's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same. And Linton's is as different as frost from fire... Ellen, I AM Heathcliff.

    [thunderbolt]

    Cathy: Everything he's suffered, I've suffered. The little happiness he's ever known, I've had too. Oh, Ellen, if everything in the world died and Heathcliff remained, life would still be full for me.

  • Heathcliff: Why are your eyes always empty? Like Linton's eyes.

    Isabella: They're not empty, if you'd only look deeper. Look at me. I'm pretty. I'm a woman and I love you. You're all of life to me. Let me be a single breath of it for you.
