Jane Eyre #1: Because her home was with Mr Rochester.

Welcome to the 1st Jane Eyre thread!

{ This is an appreciation and discussion thread for the TV (mini series) adaptation of Charlotte Bronte's novel, Jane Eyre. }

A young woman, Jane Eyre, becomes governess to the ward of Mr. Rochester, a brooding and enigmatic man.
She falls in love with him. But what secrets lie in his past and threaten to enter his future?


BUY MOVIE HERE.

I started this thread to see if there was anyone else who absolutely loved Jane Eyre. I've never read the book, but I fell completely in love with the miniseries.

Anyone else who did?

Good idea, Joella.
I just saw this Masterpiece Theater version a week ago. It was very good. I'm never sure how re-makes of classics will go over, but this was much better than the original. As I recall, the first one ended with Jane walking up to a blind Rochester, and that was the end.
This ending was excellent, down to the family painting.
Now I must read & re-read all of these books, since M.T. is featuring them this month.

Thanks for the thread. This is my favorite adaptation of the Brontë's book. Brilliantly filmed/acted. Best portrayal of Mr. Rochester by miles - which in fact inspired me to make this video...

This Night

Also looking forward to the new adaptations of Jane Austen's novels on Masterpiece.

Thanks for the thread.

The Bronte's and Jane Austin's books make great screen plays.

The funny thing is that this is not the kind of thing I'd usually watch. I personally never did find Pride & Prejudice interesting, but I really really liked Jane Eyre.

I found THIS article on IMDB about the apparently truth about the personality of Charlotte Brontë, and I found it very interesting...
