Review of Wuthering Heights (2011) by Kevin L — 23 Jan 2015

Good in that it displays the rough "affection" between Cathy and Heathcliff. Good is you want to feel better about your own family. While Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre is an example of forbearing character, overcoming a cruel upbringing, Cathy, while the only Earnshaw to show Heathcliff any sympathy, she is a slave to the cruelty and abuse in her family.

Neither her own affection or influence of a cultivated family help improve her. And though Heathcliff had run away from the farm, he couldn't get the farm out of him. Their lives are torment, and the less-wordy film makes you feel it.

And the oft-romanticized moors are equally beautiful as they are dangerous.
