Absolutely awesome, it blows my mind how imaginative these Studio Ghibli films are and how beautiful the artwork is.

I agree... Also, Joe Hisaishi, the man who composes a lot of the music used in Ghibli films, is just as respectable as Miyazaki is, in my opinion.

I may dislike anime with a burning passion, but I love Ghibli films. The storytelling, artwork, and music are all just mind-blowing and original. :)

Don't any of you watch anything normal??? :laughing:

So far Drive and 50/50 are the best films I've seen in 2011...

I just watched this 2011 movie adaptation of Bronte's classic and it was good. The casting was well done, acting was solid, the costumes well done and the story sticks to the book except it ends just a little bit earlier than the book does. I personally don't consider that much of a problem.

As for the story, a lot of the passionate feelings in this love story are suppressed and kept under a lid by a character who insists on being firmly in control of her emotions. I definetly think that suits the book format a lot more and it can be a bit hard to understand the characters attraction and the depth of their feelings towards eachother based solely on what you see in the movie.

It also felt a bit rushed compared to the book, but of course it would have to be a very long movie to avoid that and I was in a restless mood when watching it so I wouldn't have wanted it to be any longer. Knowing the story from before, I knew what was going to happen and sometimes, that doesn't matter, but for this movie it ain't great. I'd recommend it to anyone who would like to check out Charlotte Bronte's classic story, but can't be arsed to read the book.

7/10!

The majority of the movies mentioned over the course of the last page are really well known. :confused:

Watched all three last night, but the only one I'd not seen previously had been Hour of the Wolf, which I really enjoyed.

Saw this for the first time ever last night.

Holy shit. Now that's a horror movie.

Edit: the original 1973 version of this movie.

You'd never seen the original or you'd never seen the "Version You've Never Seen"? Not sure how different they are anyway though.

Alfred 11-01-2011 05:26 PM

The original. Sorry if that poster makes it confusing.

The only difference I'm aware of is that the infamous "stairs" scene isn't in the original.

Thom Yorke 11-01-2011 05:34 PM

Haven't seen the newer one myself. The original is one of my all-time favourite films. My mom wanted me to watch it when I was around 8 years old or something because she said it was a classic, and I think I got to the scene where she randomly barfs all over the guy before I ran away. Sat through the whole thing a few years later though.
