reader, I filmed them.
May. 7th, 2008 03:36 pmSp apparently Ellen Page is playing Jane Eyre in a new adaptation. I am drawn on this.
On the one hand, I think Ellen Page is all that. She's cute, smart, indie, sarcastic. But on the other hand, she's also gorgeous, and I'm so tired of gorgeous hollywood Jane Eyres. And the whole pretty girl plays plain by putting her hair back severely and not wearing makeup thing. I love Jane for her plainness. Someday I would like to see that represented filmically, kthx. At least we've come away from the Joan Fontaine blonde thing.
On the one hand, I kind of think that Charlotte Gainsbourg knocked the role so far out of the park that no one should even try it this close to the Zeffirelli film. But on the other, I did not love William Hurt as Rochester, and I did rather feel that they lacked the electric chemistry I'd like to see between Jane and Edward. No one seems to know who's playing Rochester as of yet.
I think I maybe have too many hands. But Jane Eyre yay!
