a little bit disappointing
5 April 2005
I read the book and I couldn't wait to see the movie after such good reviews I read here. I'm a little disappointed... the movie goes too fast in time, many things are left out. I understand that not everything can be shown in an hour and a half, but I don't think you can quite get the essence of the story if you didn't read the book first. I liked very much Ralph Fiennes anyway, I think he captured Heathcliff very well. He's sweet and even naive when it comes to Cathy in the beginning, and cruel when he has to be... but no matter what, he always ets our sympathy. I also liked the actress that played Mrs. Dean. She's not as I imagined her when I read the book but I loved her glances and gestures... Anyway, I liked it much more that the version with Laurence Olivier...
