[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a B.A in English Lit and I loved this movie. It’s reallly well done and beautifully executed. Margot Robbie brings Cathy alive from the pages. It is an artistic interpretation of the 1/3 of the novel. I’m not going to nitpick based on if it’s a faithful adaptation of the novel because it does not claim to be.

It is so far removed the novel. My main gripe of why I disliked the trailer is the actors are so OLD.  Katherine marries around 17 or 18 and dies a year later in the novel. Heathcliff dies at 37 or 38.

Margot Robbie is 35.  She is way, way too old!

Emily Bronte wrote the novel at 29 and died at age 30 from TB.  Charlotte Bronte (Jane Eyre) died at age 38. Anne Bronte died at age 29. Two younger sisters died at age 10 and 11. The only brother died at age 31. [/quote]

I get your point… But I will have to say, Robbie was 34 when she made the movie no one is looking at her and saying man she looks old. She is drop dead, stunningly gorgeous.

Again, I know what you’re saying, but I think that’s such a small beef to take up with this movie. And I’ll make the point that was made above about Jacob and Margot - who else was going to do this. They are both academy award nominated actors who are beautiful and very well-known.

You can’t name a younger actress as well known that would’ve played the part. I mean Sydney Sweeney’s getting a lot of attention but really? No one’s going to suggest that. They needed someone believable in the role and I can’t think of a mid 20s actress who could pull it off at this point and they were not looking to cast unknown or newbies. [/quote]
