I just watched the 2011 Wuthering Heights film and it was so apathetic?? I don’t get it
#I just don’t understand why every actor delivered every single one of their lines in the most boring lifeless way they possibly could#the book is just so full of dialogue and Heathcliff and Cathy in particular talk all the time#and they yell and rant and have really big emotions#and then in this movie there are stretches of like five minutes at a time where nobody says anything#and when they do they something it’s just a monotone?#Also I think it was cool to do it from Heathcliff’s perspective but it means that huge important chunks of the story and characterization#of other people just falls entirely by the wayside#like in the book Hindley was completely devastated when his wife died. He had a really terrible grieving period that never actually ended#but I guess that humanized Hindley too much so in the movie you don’t see him mourning her at all?? instead you get a scene where they are#having sex on the ground outside for some reason????#And there was no score. And I think that it was actually too focused on the moors#The houses are important too!#Wuthering Heights
