Ralph Fiennes plays one of the main characters Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights based off of the book of the same name by Emily Bronte. If anyone read the book, they will know how it all goes, but for those who haven't read the book (guilty!) here's the rough summary (Note: This is a TERRIBLE Rough summary and I suggest you watch the movie yourself or read the book then watch the movie!).
Heathcliff is adopted by a man who has a daughter named, Catherine (Juliette Binoche) and a son. When the man dies, the son makes him a stable boy,or a slave at that time. Catherine and Heathcliff develop a relationship and fall madly in love. Then after some complications, she marries off and he is left heartbroken. To the point where he treats everyone like dirt. As you will find out through these blogs, Fiennes plays a great asshole (pardon the language). You want to hate him when he treats everyone like dirt, but you feel such sympathy for him because he truly loved Catherine and she blamed him for her death (SPOILER!!!!)
I have never read the book but now I actually might with the vision of Heathcliff being Fiennes. I don't think I've read any of Bronte's work, nor have I read any of her sisters work so that should be fun.
Since this is the first one, I don't have much to say, but I will probably reference this one more as the blog goes on. It is a great movie, and I suggest it entirely. There are so many other Wuthering Heights movies but I really really like this one, then again, this is the only one I've seen.
Favorite Quote: "I pray one prayer. I repeat it till my tongue stiffins. Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living. You said I killed you... I know that ghosts have wondered the Earth. Be with me always."
