As a self- declared costume Doxycycline hyclate acne drama whore, it was What are Buy Bupron Buy Nizagara Online SR Online the side effects of simvastatin my moral obligation to see this latest incarnation of Charlotte Brontë’s classic novel Jane Eyre. Since I have never seen a fully satisfactory feature-length version of this story, I had high hopes going into this movie, and my hopes were delightfully met.
The familiar Side effects omeprazole story goes Atomoxetine like this: a young woman, Jane Eyre, who has Paxil 40 mg suffered a Inderal 80 mg hard life (an abused orphan left who lives with an uncaring aunt and is then sent to a dank school for girls) gets a job as a governess. There, she falls in love with the owner of the house, Mr. Rochester. As their romance heats up, all hell breaks loose and the real drama begins.
What I found the film does best was keep the tone and emotional arcs of the novel while keeping a fairly clipping pace. One way it does this is by starting at the beginning of the third act of the book and retracing the former two-thirds of Jane’s life from her childhood to her time as a governess. Honestly, it’s an improvement on the novel’s structure since-at least for me–the story loses steam at this point and then trudges along until the end. By getting much of the third act out of the way by interspersing it throughout the film, it doesn’t feel like such drudgery to get through the end. In fact, I found the end entirely satisfying for the first time in my life. All other aspects of the film use highly illustrative moments in the novel to quickly and efficiently establish events without cheapening the fidelity of the overall story.
Besides the structure, everything else captures the Gothic, slightly drab, slightly horrific tones of the novel as well. Filmed in grays and muted colors with overcast skies and candlelit rooms, the film already looks the part. Add in Dario Marianelli’s brooding, yearning score–heavy on the violin solos–and the film fits Jane Eyre to a T.
But of course the actors are the most crucial element to this film. Mia Wasikowska as the title character was a wise choice. Not distractingly beautiful, she fits the Everygirl-out-to-make-a-life-for-herself role and is content to quietly show her emotions without over- or underplaying the role. For a film based on a first-person account, the role is almost impossible to play, but the film does a good job of letting Wasikowska do the interpreting without narration, and she does it well. (Seriously, never watch the 1973 version. It’s almost entirely narrated except when Mr. Rochester is speaking. It. Is. The. Worst.)

Her youthful innocence clearly contrasts the weathered age of Michael Fassbender’s Mr. Rochester, who, I should add, is appropriately mysterious and alluring. I’ve yet to see a Mr. Rochester I didn’t like–it’s such a fun and darkly humorous role–but Fassbender’s interpretation might be my favorite based on raw sex appeal alone. The most interesting interpretation though, for me, was Jamie Bell’s St. John. It helps that we meet this late-coming character in the beginning of this film, but he also brings a more appealing quality to such a stick-in-the-mud character.
This newest version of Jane Eyre should please both fans of the book and newcomers to the story. It retains the spirit of the novel while keeping it accessible in a two-hour format. And my goodness, if I didn’t love a good, restrained 19th century romance. This may be my favorite Jane Eyre yet.
