what makes of Heathcliff such a fascinating person, is his constancy!! in everything he does or feels!! he remains faithful to himself in love, hate, revenge etc till his death!!! while most of our feelings are almost in continual fluctuations!! he represents the Ideal of "deep constant feelings"
I wish this video clip went a little longer. Cathy talking into the night and him seemingly hearing her message telepathically in her ghostly appearance is so intensely romantic in a very beautifully spooky way.
It's heartbreaking in the book when Cathy says the whole bit about wanting to be a girl again and especially "Why am I so changed?", it's something many can relate to, you never know what will come your way and change you. Oh and I imagined Nelly to be much... bigger. Like, not overweight but bigger. Not sure why.
Heathcliff to Isabella: Cathy wasn’t lying about me. I’m a villain who’s only after your fortune (Proceeds to seduce Isabella by kissing her). Isabella’s logic: Bad boys are SO HAWT! Maybe, I can change him. There must be a good man deep down! No, but seriously, I do genuinely feel sorry for Isabella. She may have been naive, foolish, and spoiled, but she didn’t deserve to be played, abused, and cast out by Heathcliff like that.
@@janesgems7 That still doesn’t mean she deserved to be viciously abused by Heathcliff. Yeah, Isabella was a naive, shallow, and spoiled brat. That doesn’t mean she deserved to be domestically abused and manipulated by Heathcliff, so that he could use her as a pawn to get vengeance against her brother for “stealing” Cathy from him.
@@Schoolgirl325 Did I say she deserved it? Of course not, but none of Emily Bronte's characters are black or white. And all are victims. Cathy didn't deserve to die young, although she was selfish and shallow. Edgar was a snob but didn't deserve to lose his family. And Heathcliff was a bitter, vengeful man, but he didn't deserve to have such a terrible life. Emily wrote about many things that in her day were unheard of. The way the upper class looked down on the poorer members of society. Racism - Heathcliff was treated badly because of the colour of his skin. How years of abuse can make someone abusive. How marrying for money and not love only brings misery. And how in the end, revenge isn't sweet. Heathcliff destroyed his enemies but it never brought Cathy back. He lost the most important thing in his life and he never got over it.
Healthcliff can be my villian anytime - who needs allies. These women are ninnies! As soon as the director shouted, "cut", I would have been waiting for Mr. Fiennes in his dressing room. Who in their right mind would allow this man to become a granny chaser? Answer me?!?!?
Some people are just like that maybe it is from severe pain that they have suffered that stuck them to the core. So one day they fall in love feel something real and that activates all those feelings at once. They tend to be passionate possessive obsessive types who also happen to have charismatic animalsitic vibes and are impossible to resist. It isn't even a choice. I like it because they are being who they really are. Their love is demanding and merciless even to them. Note their suffering.
It is his need for revenge that makes him become a villain, I don't think he was one to start with. Personally it is not what I find attractive in him eventho I can understand it, it is his wildness, his passion, his profound and enduring love for Catherine, and his unwillingness to settle for less.
I love how nerdy they made Edgar. The way he sheepishly pulls on his jacket after hitting Heathcliff and how awkwardly he was sitting in the last section while Cathy was playing the harpsichord.
Lúgubre pero con un toqué pasional y enfermizo!!... Porque será que los amores atormentados, nos apasionan tanto!!... Ésta versión es muy buena ambos protagonistas, te llevan a lo mas alto en amor,emoción, y lujuria!!
Gosh this is depressing. So far, they haven't mentioned anything about Cathy marrying only to elevate Heathcliff's status so she could marry him at some point. So everyone just assumes she was being a twat when she had motives behind her behavior. Too bad it didn't work out that way. It just makes everything all the more tragic.
@@sahaniperera3 After Cathy's father dies, her brother makes him live like a servant and denies him of an education. By the time Cathy is old enough to get married, she feels that Heathcliff has become too savage, and she thinks she can marry Lindon and with her husband's money help provide Heathcliff of an education. Idk why or how she thought that could work, though.
It's more about possessiveness, really. They say they love each other, but it srt of depends on your opinion of their relationship. They require each other more than anything, without Cathy Heathcliff almost has withdrawal symptoms more than anything
You're right. They don't mention it in the book until little Cathy Linton is born. God it annoys me so much that Catherine doesnt' have a temper. She was stubborn and hot tempered. But Heathcliff is certainly appealing: "I'm a villan, I'm only after your fortune"...what a line.
I never understood why Isabella married Heathcliff. Sure he's kinda hot, but he tells her that he is only after her fortune and a villain and cathy tells her, too
She is a young woman who has high expectations of her future due to her elevated social status (who is higher class than the Linton family in the story? Nobody. The Linton's are the most noble family in the area). She expects to marry, but it profoundly frustrates her that she is as isolated as she is. She is also, quite honestly, yearning for contact, connection, sexual experience and intimacy. Heathcliff completely deceives her, operating on her naivete but also on the insecurities that make her both weak-willed and strong-willed at the same time. It's up to the reader to interpret if there actually is any sympathy between Heathcliff and Isabella. I would like to think that Isabella has more agency than this version of her does. If you watch the BBC 1978 adaptation of 'Wuthering Heights' you will see an Isabella who - at times - is a match for Heathcliff, and is not entirely afraid of him. In my view, Isabella marries Heathcliff because marrying him seems to propose an end to her most grinding frustrations. She is attracted to his new found wealth and urbane nature, but also to the suggestion of danger and excitement that he proposes. I don't think she realizes Heathcliff is as actively destructive as he is, in the novel. The problem is in this film version they have written Heathcliff to be more upfront because they don't have time to develop the characters and their subplot.
We hate Cathy because she has done what we'd have done in real life too. She was weak or strong(depending on your perspective) in choosing security over love but in doing so, she becomes the more humane.
Heathcliff takes his revenge by having a baby with another woman. His is obsessed with Cathy but he is angry with her for marrying someone other than him.
the love like this one can happend only one time,they love and hate each other,they was souls but Cathy betraeyd him and hi regret that but was too late and she was too much selfish,hi did everything for her and they never was happy,and that happen again no matter how hard Heatcliff try stop that,love is stronger than death and love really can destroy many people
Like Jane Eyre to Rochester: "As we are! My spirit addressing your spirit, as if we were both standing before God." (I botched that quote but don't have the patience to flip thru my book for the exact one)
youre saying it cuz you probably didnt read the book. in the movie heathcliff is much softer that the real character. in the book he's a real evil, nothing for a girly isabella. cathy knew he would have killed her later with his hatred.
Well his mother died and sounds like he loved Francesca Annis and was very attached to her. He left his long time girlfriend for her it was his choice. Nothing wrong with that. But I've always been hopelessly in love with Ralph Fiennes.
Or she saw it as a means of survival. She didn’t want to be a burden on her brother and at the time of her accepting Edgar’s proposal, Heathcliff had no money.
The reality is that social class waa a real burden in 19th century England. The film omits a crucial detail - Cathy also talks herself into marrying Edgar by believing that she can help to elevate Heathcliff's status enough to be with him through her eventual wealth.
i love this film. still when i hear people describe heathcliff as evil i feel sad. he is not perfect and does ridiculously manipulative things to upset others, but would this have happened were it not for cathy's selfish and spoiled nature right from the start?! feel free to debate this point ... fantastic love story however and i love the films pure dark humanity.
i agree, and thats exactly what you talk about if you study the book in class. its a tragedy, so it wasnt just one or the other, but both of their tragic flaws and decisions.
@lianoula1greece Yes, but for me personally, if any man handsome or ugly would have told me that, I would run like the wind! Although it would be a lost cause since I myself am not a rich woman.
I find it the opposite, actually. The book was amazing, as in the storyline was, but I couldn't adore the characters as I do in the movie. In the book they don't really love each other at all. They need each other, really. In the movie, I can see they really are in love, rather than just possessive
hmmm, i think they just didnt really mention it in victorian novels.. like sometimes they just say they were feeling unwell.. but im not sure if they knew or not?
of course Cathy was pregant... some time after the little Cathy Linton (Cathy and Edgar's daughter) borned. In the same day Cathy pass away. I just read the book too. Did not you understand the book?
@leniboda yes he was supposed to have a certain mysterious obscur charm, but he couldn't really seduce people with his rude and savage behavious and character!! if he was a "good" person he would have been seen as quite seducing person
am i the only one who's completely unimpressed with the movie? i just read the book for the first time and absolutely adored it, so i figured i'd see how the movie was. i'm not liking it at all so far and i'm doubting it will get any better - i find it nothing like the book, and the characters are totally inaccurate. just another one of those stories that can't be transfered over into a (decent) movie.
@judewishedhimselfout I guess I was a little crabby because I had just came home from having my 10th abortion. Abortion as my contraceptive method of choice. When I go to sleep at night I thank God for Roe vs. Wade !
Gosh, Kathy and Heathcliff are insane--and perfect for each other.
Yup. Too bad she denied it, and had her head turned by Edgar.
what makes of Heathcliff such a fascinating person, is his constancy!! in everything he does or feels!! he remains faithful to himself in love, hate, revenge etc till his death!!! while most of our feelings are almost in continual fluctuations!! he represents the Ideal of "deep constant feelings"
Cathy humiliating her husband in that kitchen scene portrayed her twisted self-centeredness...poor Edgar...
-_____-
I'm not sure which version is better...but the soundtrack for this version by Ryuchi Sakamoto is definitely perfect for setting the mood!
I wish this video clip went a little longer. Cathy talking into the night and him seemingly hearing her message telepathically in her ghostly appearance is so intensely romantic in a very beautifully spooky way.
It is and I agree - I hate that they cut it off. It's also Juliette's best moment in the film.
It's heartbreaking in the book when Cathy says the whole bit about wanting to be a girl again and especially "Why am I so changed?", it's something many can relate to, you never know what will come your way and change you.

I did to a degree...but she ridiculed him along with all the others when he was poor.

"The surest way to kill me is for you to kiss me again." Ahhh I love itt! :))

Heathcliff is fucking perfect. (sorry for my stupid comment)
i feel so bad for isabella :(
awwwww. that's sweet.
something is just horribly wrong with Cathys hair
😮😂
The romance of retched souls
omg *yes*. That's one of the best one-liners for this book I have ever read! :)
Cathy has one hell of a mullet
"imma villian , im only after your fortune" , "Devious"
heathcliff: i'm a villain i'm only after your fortune.
You can’t say he wasn’t honest.

Yeah the book is much better explaining a lot more then the movie
Yes, the bit about Cathy's motives was omitted here and that was a bad cut.
I don't get it. How does Cathy Marrying Edgar elevates Heathcliff's status?
@@sahaniperera3 After Cathy's father dies, her brother makes him live like a servant and denies him of an education.

@@ositahokHeathcliff could never accept that. She was ridiculous to think that could work
Moral and physical beauty
Yes
I agree
"an unreclaimed creature, he's a fierce, pitiless, wolfish man"
4:28 Juliette Binoche is thinking "oh god. ... I hope no one notices that hideous green door."
voldemort got game

I guess we have to think of these Brontes, parson's daughters, as having some of Heathcliff's resentment of the gentry.
She sounds like a french woman who has been living in yorkshire for 7 years.
2:00. Favorite scene in the whole movie.
It looked to me like he broke the doorknob off with the poker from the fireplace he was threatening Edgar with.
whoa was cathy going against her husband just there??
Ultimate one of top ten movies scripted for screen.
I love Cathy!!!
I never understood why Isabella married Heathcliff. Sure he's kinda hot, but he tells her that he is only after her fortune and a villain and cathy tells her, too
Bookaholic Nerd = because She need meet a young man at her age.
She is a young woman who has high expectations of her future due to her elevated social status (who is higher class than the Linton family in the story? Nobody.

Well to put it in a more modern way, according to heathcliff, "she's a moron" lol
watching this on dvd on an HD tv was completely different. He looked more sour and bitter almost.
It really seems like Heathcliff know's Cathy is talking to him as he marrys Isabella.
We hate Cathy because she has done what we'd have done in real life too. She was weak or strong(depending on your perspective) in choosing security over love but in doing so, she becomes the more humane.
hah..when somone tells you who they are..perhaps you should believe them
"I'm a villain, i'm only after your fortune."
I would fall for him after that line! Who doesnt fall for a sexy bad guy???
He broke the lock of the door with the stick.
jesus this goes so fast compared to the book!!!
I love this ❣️🥰❤️🔥🤩
Haunting Romance 💒
Ralph Fiennes makes the best Heathcliff--
heathcliff you badass!
/loser
Poor Edgar.
You know what's really sad? 7:06 I can hear Emily Bronte *really* saying that to Tabby.
poor edgar..
Katherine's a Beast
Heathcliff takes his revenge by having a baby with another woman. His is obsessed with Cathy but he is angry with her for marrying someone other than him.
in the book, edgar runs away like a child and is constantly crying-wats up with this???

Life prouds...
At this point in the book there's more tension...
Its deep stuff
4:29 was the outside of that door supposed to be green? Hmm...bad editing?
haha. Right? Maybe that's what Edgar and Cathy were looking so sheepish about.
The French accent keeps slipping through
Iknow i was laughing like crazy i played it over 3 times :P and yet she still runs away with him
@TotallyTubularYo He always plays the bad guy! He really does. I love the character Heathcliff...

what lousy acting. the original merle oberon, olivier WH was the best. these new versions crack me up. you can tell they're acting.......

Tom Hardy for sure no!The best Heatcliff is Ralph !...ever and forever!!This is only my opinion 🙂
