About this movie

Academy Award winners William Hurt (1985 Best Actor-Kiss Of the Spider Woman, 1986) and Anna Paquin (Best Supporting Actress, The Piano, 1994) lead an all-star cast in this story of passion and intrigue. Jane Eyre (Charlotte Gainsbourg, 21 Grams) is a young woman whose will to overcome a life of hardship leads her into a passionate romance with a handsome- and mysterious-gentleman (Hurt). Swept up in the possibility of a happy new life, Jane is shattered when terrible, untold secrets from his past are revealed, threatening to tear her and her lover apart forever. Also featuring the talents of Joan Plowright (the Spiderwick Chronicles) and supermodel Elle Macpherson, this enduring tale has captivated moviegoers everywhere, just as Charlotte Bronte's classic best-seller has entertained readers for generations.

This movie is based on the book by Charlotte Bronte which was written in the 1800's I love the movie this one is closer to the book then the other Jane Eyre movie. If you really enjoyed this movie you will also enjoy movies based on books by Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility those are just a couple of her books that have been made into movies. I give this Jane Eyre 5 stars it is amazing.

Nature, costumes, design, house are exactly how I felt when I read novel. But nothing about pure and beautiful love between Edward and Jane. I'm disappointed.

All versions are great but very to the actual story.
