I loved the book. However, I didn't like that movie that much. It's the same feeling I get when I've read the book before the movie. Besides, it didn't cover the entire movie. However, Laurence Olivier was hot. He really fit the description of a brooding, mysterious gypsy with a hardened heart. He's too old to be playing young Heathcliffe but whatever floats their boat in the 30s is fine with me. And Merle Oberon looked old. Although she did remind me of Jennifer Ehle in Pride and Prejudice.
I think I need to watch the film again because I keep looking at Sir Laurence Olivier and no one else.

The story is really simple but the effect on you is unbelievable. What if you're completely contented with your life but somehow, you meet a person who you thinkfeelknow connects with you like no one can? And it all began with the bit of dirty in her eye.
It was more like an emotional affair, although they did kiss. That kiss, by the way, took my breath away. Literally. But it was more like "*gasp* OHNOOOOO!" than "*gasp* aw so sweet!" According to the people who edit the Wikipedia page of the film, the play is more upfront with the implication that they consummated the affair. I think they already did, though.
The kiss, the trysts. Guilty!! In the end, she did come back to her husband and children. Because of the "affair", she was beginning to lose touch with herself and her children.
All in all it was a good film and I'm glad I had the chance to watch it. And I'll probably watch it again after watching The History Boys for nth time. I liked Now, Voyager better though. Hehe.

How could I have missed out on this show??????
Well, to answer my own question, I was like 8 when this first showed so I wouldn't really be able to watch it. Haha. My sister used to collect Tiger Beat magazines with Jared Leto's face plastered all over the covers (Hmm.. occasionally, actually. I think JTT's face was more prominent in the covers). And when 10 Things I Hate About You came along, I never got the pretty boy references. He wasn't pretty in my opinion.
Until I finally watched this freakingly short-lived TV series.
It's so emo, angsty, silly, dramatic and funny. Claire Danes was pretty decent in this, even if I still dislike her for being a horrible actress in Little Women and Romeo and Juliet. If it's true that the show was not renewed partly because of her having second thoughts with the show, ugh I hate her more. Anyway, it's so sad that they did not renew the series for a second season. The show has effectively made me care about the characters. The story also got better when Angela *finally* pays attention to cute/annoying Brian Krakow's feelings.
At first, I thought Jordan Catalano/Jared Leto is the answer to all the fangirl crushes in this planet. Too bad I only realized that 13 years after the show started. As the show progressed, I realized that he's not all that and his laconic ways were NOT endearing anymore. His hair also got long so that mattered a lot too. He's hot, with his occasional staring-into-space and closed-eyes stance but Brian Krakow is the more decent human being. Sort of. Brian Krakow was really annoying and stupid at times but he's one of the sweetest character in the entire show.
Rayanne.. hmm. It's hard to not like/dislike her. That was really low of her and Catalano to do that to Angela. Sigh. Sharon was easy to hate with her perkiness and hypocritical ways. And Rickie! The other sweet character!! :D I thought the show had too much PDA of Angela's parents but it did get me wondering whether Gram will give in to ~temptation~. Patty is soo annoying.
I wish they didn't end in a cliff-hanger though. Sigh. I guess Brian and Angela hooking up will only exist in my imagination.
My favorite episodes are Self-Esteem (the ending was sweet), Weekend and In Dreams Begin Responsibilities.
