Limited Depth of the Video
I was disappointed of the limited depth and explanation of the relationships of characters from the novel. Although the film did well in portraying the romance of Jane and Mr. Rochester, there was little insight of emotions such as jealousy, desire, and compassion. The absence of characters and Jane's childhood, cut the story into pieces. The movie might have shown important parts to the director, but I was looking for more and more similarities between the book and movie. As the movie progressed, I felt that the story became shorter missing the important elements and details that Charlotte Bronte purposely put in the book. Without knowing all the twists and surprises, such as knowing that St. John is her cousin, ruins the story's unique personality.
