Watching the Jane Eyre movie today was very interesting for many reasons: some parts from the novel was left out, and the actors seem more dramatic. Though it was different from the book, I thought that the parts we watched today were really entertaining, and I got sucked into watching it! The character Jane is matched up to what I envisioned her to be like: she has a sort beauty in her that shines even though her looks aren’t as graceful. A lot of the characters that appeared were very different: Mr. Rochester is not handsome or young, which didn’t surprise me, but I thought that he would at least look decent enough to the character written in the book. I did like the movie because you got to see the visual part of what I was reading, and their emotions were very visible, which helped me understand the context better.
I agree with Cierra's observation of the actors' making the scene more dramatic than they seem in the book. In the movie, we are able to see Jane's personality in the way that she thinks and in the way that she talks to others. However, I disagree with Cierra's vision of Jane looking like that Jane in the movie. I agree with Ms. Augustine's statement of Jane looking prettier in the movie than how she is described as in the book.
