    • Trivia
      The location of Jane Eyre's cottage was so isolated that there was no mobile phone reception. A member of the crew had to be stationed in a nearby phone booth with a walkie talkie in case the crew needed anything. He didn't complain, however, as the local residents brought him tea and biscuits throughout the day.
    • Goofs
      The teacup that Jane is drinking out of is Belleek. Belleek porcelain was first produced in 1863 and was not widely available outside Ireland until the mid-1860s while the blue mark on Jane's cup was first used in 1993.
    • Quotes

      Jane Eyre: I have lived a full life here. I have not been trampled on. I have not been petrified. I have not been excluded from every glimpse of what is bright. I have known you, Mr. Rochester, and it strikes me with anguish to be torn from you.

      Rochester: Then why must you leave?

      Jane Eyre: Because of your wife.

      Rochester: I have no wife.

      Jane Eyre: But you are to be married.

      Rochester: Jane, you must stay.

      Jane Eyre: I'm become nothing to you?...

      [near tears]

      Jane Eyre: Am I a machine with out feelings? Do you think that because I am poor, plain, obscure, and little that I am souless and heartless? I have as much soul as you and full as much heart. And if God had possessed me with beauty and wealth, I could make it as hard for you to leave me as it is for I to leave you... I'm not speaking to you through mortal flesh. It is my spirit that addresses your spirit, as if we'd have passed through the grave and stood at God's feet equal. As we are.

      Rochester: [taking her arms] As we are.

      Jane Eyre: [trying to pull away] I am a free human being with an independent will, which I now exert to leave you.

      Rochester: Than let you will decide your destiny. I offer you my hand, my heart. Jane, I ask you to pass through life at my side. You are my equal and my likeness... Will you marry me?

      Jane Eyre: Are you mocking me?

      Rochester: Do you doubt me?

      Jane Eyre: Entirely.

    Wonderful new Jane Eyre
    I saw a sneak preview of Jane Eyre last night at AFI/Silver in Silver Spring MD. This is a beautifully filmed, engrossing, and haunting version of the classic Charlotte Bronte novel Jane Eyre. This film is worth seeing and it will leave you thinking about it long after you have left the theater. It captures that otherworldly and isolated environment that Jane inhabits in her lonely life. After you witness the unloved childhood and brutal boarding school you can understand how Jane can not only adapt to her isolated employment but revel in a world where the absence of abuse is a relief. One thing that struck me was the way the actress portraying Jane Eyre, Mia Wasikowska, inhabited Jane's being. The quiet stillness, the dignity, the steely nerves under the mask of composure. I have been trying to recall another actress who portrayed the physicality of a woman, a governess, in that time period so perfectly. She wasn't a modern actress in a corset, she moved like a young woman who is used to the corset and layers of cloth, and the expectations on a young woman in Victorian England. I also particularly enjoyed the portrayal of a vibrant, intelligent, woman who knows she is caged by the norms of her society and her position in it. Miss Wasikowska did a wonderful portrayal of Jane, giving her great depth while still letting the emotions flit across her usually stoic face. I also liked Mrs Reed - she is a wholly human villain, petty, cruel, insecure, and resentful. You can see her in Miss Ingram, a petty woman who could turn hateful. The young Jane is a stand out performance, all spit and fury, you realize that Jane's survival is due to her courage. That the intensity of the child is coiled inside the adult Jane. The cinematography is beautiful, the sets and costumes look accurate, the screenplay handled well, and the directing outstanding. I also appreciate that no character was over done. This film will age well, where some other versions can make you cringe now. This film is going to make me pick up the novel and read it again after a very long time. Not a bad recommendation for a movie.
