A Hundred-Word Film Review--1939 Edition of "Wuthering Heights"

I just wanted to take a look at it, but I couldn't take my eyes off it. Lawrence Oliver's Heathcliff is so infectious. This alone makes other versions unwatchable. David Niven is also much more handsome than in "Murder on the Nile". The movies at that time were obviously stage plays. The lines are so beautiful, and photography is a picture. It was really fun to watch. Maybe it's because these clumsy film techniques now feel particularly sincere, so often old movies, often telling distant fictional stories, make me feel very close to my heart. The trance feeling after watching the movie came again.

    I wanted to watch it for a long time, I thought I would see a twisted and sick sadomasochism, but the result was not at all what I thought, the stage-style performance and lines, um. . Okay

    I have always been reluctant to open the Wuthering Heights movie, and the storytelling of Jane Eyre is really difficult to make. The result is okay, although the last third of the original work has been deleted. Beautified by the heroine, a generation of black-haired mixed-race girls in Hollywood, three ex-husbands, some gossip is omitted here. The temperament is relatively hardcore, and I plan to continue to follow her roles as Anne Boleyn and George Sand.

Wuthering Heights quotes

  • Heathcliff: I want to crawl to her feet, whimper to be forgiven... for loving me. For needing her more than my own life... for belonging to her more than my own soul.

  • Hindley: If she's run off with that gypsy scum, let her run. Let her run through storm and Hell. They're birds of a feather and the Devil can take them both. Now, get me a bottle.
