Jane Eyre!

I have become slightly obsessed with Jane Eyre. It all started when Ms. Powell my English teacher showed part of the 2006 movie version. I eventually ended up watching that whole BBC miniseries version as well as a BBC mini series from the 80s and began reading the book. Its just so good!! I love the story and I love Mr. Rochester! So because we were both freaking out about it so much, my friend Erin and I decided to take a trip to Sacramento to see another Jane Eyre movie that just came out. It didn't play in very many theaters so Sacramento was the closest we could find. The trip there and back was pretty fun, full of music, laughter, and fast talking about Jane Eyre (by the way, if I am totally comfortable belting out songs from musicals in the car with you, its a sign that we are good friends). The movie itself however, wasn't too great. there were some good parts, but i thought they took out too much of the good stuff and put in too much pointless junk. the movie started in the middle then flash-backed to the beginning, and at the end Erin and I just looked at each other like "really? that was IT?". But it was okay because it was a fun trip and that night I came home and finished reading the book...okay so I skimmed the beginning about her childhood, and totally skipped the part between when she left Mr. Rochester and when she came back to him, but no one really cares about those parts anyway ;)

  1. I love Jane Eyre! I probably would've skipped those parts too if I read it over again... That's disappointing the movie wasn't that great though.
