Casting history[edit]

Evidently Ellen Page had been attached to this production as the title character prior to Mia Wasikowska's casting, (see: http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117985166?refCatId=13) Variety is a reliable source, right? They don't seem to have an author listed for that article, is it possible to include it on this page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.217.70.140 (talk) 07:26, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Variety is a reliable source. Feel free to insert it into the article. Ruby 2010/2013 17:00, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disatisfying[edit]

Although well acted by Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender, and with a very pleasant musical score to create a highly engaging atmosphere, I found the film itself very lightweight in terms of plot. Hardly any time at all was given to Bertha, Rochester's mad wife, and the most dramatic scene in the whole book - when Thornfield Hall is burnt down and Rochester is blinded - was simply related by Mrs Fairfax to Jane whereas this should have been shown as a flashback. There was also very limited development of the rather tortured relationship between Jane and St Jlhn Rivers. So, although engaging, this film has nothing like the dramatic intensity of the novel itself. Ivankinsman (talk) 17:53, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree on all accounts. Were you planning on improving the article? Ruby 2010/2013 18:07, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Historical Context section is nonsense[edit]

Incoherent, irrelevant, and factually incorrect. The only tenuous link to this particular adaptation of the novel is the dubious assertion that Judi Dench "comes from this cultural and religious background" (not really true, and anyway, so what?). It's also unclear how Scandinavian people "were oppressed by and resisted the Norman Conquest", which of course was the conquest of England. It's like an excerpt from a D-minus English Literature essay. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.42.238.95 (talk) 19:19, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
