[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I enjoyed the movie OP to answer your question. Steamy + fun to watch. [b]DCUM will take the fun out of anything. [/b]The filmmakers were quite clear this movie was not a direct adaptation from the book which is over 150 years old.[/quote] Understatement of the decade.[/quote] I haven’t seen the movie but I think the posters are saying it’s a real missed opportunity to make a hot interracial relationship that would be more true to the forbidden love nature of the book. [/quote] In the movie, her rich husband Edgar is non-white, so no matter what race actor had played Heathcliffe, the racial component that PP book fans are looking for would not be there. Presumably the filmmaker is not interested in telling that part of the story. Audiences get to think they messed up, which maybe they did, but it was an intentional choice to avoid that part of the story. [/quote]
