And so it should be!

Ahahaha me too! ))

Not a gentleman. Not even close.

Gorgeous in every way-beyond words. What a fabulous actor. Too bad modern scripts cannot come up to his level of excellence & talent.

I agree . TD is the best Mr. Rochester ever!

Me too

Me three

He's indeed superb and devilish handsome. She is, on the other hand, a big letdown to me.

@@barbarav4046 Agreed, Dalton is not only an accomplished actor of stage and screen, but also as you state a very good-looking man. I too was disappointed in the actress who played Jane Eyre. Her emotional range was far too limited, when compared to her character in Charlette Bronte's classic novel. To me it was Timothy Dalton who carried that entire mini-series. The way he portrayed Rochester was spot on with the book.

​@@andrewmiller4885Thank you for replying, I totally agree with you. Indeed, it baffles me that most over-praise Zelah and some complain Dalton was too handsome for the role. Even if he was, he nailed it. I cannot think of anyone who managed better. As you said, he carried the entire miniseries on his own because his partner was not up to his acting skills. First of all, it's really ridiculous to believe in the 20 years age gap. Secondly, she just delivered her lines quietly, wearing the same tired, sad expression in every scene they acted together. It's impossible, for me, to believe that a man as passionate and earnest as Rochester could fall in love with such an insipid portrayal of Jane. I mean no disrespect to the actress, but she single-handedly ruined something which could have been a masterpiece. I really feel he deserved a more responsive partner, probably that's why some people say he was too theatrical at times

@@barbarav4046 Wow , loved what you said and couldn't agree with you more. There was far too much emphasis on Jane Eyre's unattractiveness plainness and simplicity, in this particular screen adaptation of the novel. While it read well in the book, it did not play well on screen. If they were going to be completely true to the character, Jane was also defiant and rebellious, we did not get that from the actress, and who knows perhaps the director wanted her character played that way. Dalton's delivery and interpretation was powerful. We could sense his pain and certainly his pent-up passion and great need for Jane. Zelah on the other hand was even less than mellow.....'the same tired, sad expression in every scene', great comment you gave there and so so accurate . In terms of Timothy Dalton, well what can one say. He is one of the very best actors of my generation and a man who I feel was underrated as a performer. In my opinion I don't think Dalton got the respect and recognition he deserved. This is an industry where a lot of noise is made about certain stars, while some of the greats are ignored. It is also my opinion that Tmothy Dalton was just as good as Sir Lawrence Olivier, if not even a tad better. Just to sum it all up, I think the actress who played Jane was seriously miscast for many reasons. If it were not for Dalton's great acting skills I for one would never have believed he fell in love with jane Eyre, however the audience is thoroughly convinced that he does. That is how good Dalton is. Thank you too for your response.

​​@@andrewmiller4885I thank you for this conversation and the thoughtful response. Indeed, once again, I agree with everything you said. In these past weeks I had to watch and rewatch this miniseries for translation purposes and realised what a masterpiece it could have been with a different rendition of Jane. For a long time my heart was set on Toby's Rochester as I hadn't watched the 1983 adaptation 'precisely' because I couldn't help thinking the two lead actors were mismatched. In my opinion, she looked way older than him. And, as you say, her plainness doesn't translate well on screen. But it was her portrayal which left me wanting: where is the passion, the inner strength of Jane? Only in her beautifully delivered, but not acted upon, lines? How can a man like Rochester, so full of life and passion, earnest - because despite life's harshness he has a good heart - fall for such a meek Jane? I, too, thought the director wanted a demure version of Jane, but then she sparks a little bit more towards the end, when she acts with other colleagues. I think she suffered Dalton's superior acting skills, he overpowered hers and I completely agree that it's him, and only him, to give credibility to their love story. He was indeed a superb actor who deserved much more. Unfortunately in the movie industry, as in life, very rarely are the most talented rewarded. More often than not, it's the people who compromise and/or get the right connections who get ahead. But, maybe, this is the rant of yet another poor, obscure and little (well, not so little 😊) Jane who has been trampled on once too often

It is

I agree 💯

I agree. Jane Eyre is passionate. Passion is what characterizes her personality ever since she was a child. Zelah Clarke is insufficient in this aspect almost in every scenes ...

@@celinafernandez8210 Definitely, she is overrated in my opinion. She simply is not Jane, her perpetually sad expression left me wanting throughout the whole series.

Gracias por decirlo!! Es verdad, el papel es demasiado grande para ella y no entiendo porque le gusta a todas! Siempre la misma expresion triste, tienes un actorazo como el y no actuas con un poco de pasion?? De veras, no me capacito. Disculpa mi espanol!

Engaging in behaviour with a willing participant-which is what is being depicted here-isn't "inappropriate boundary violation". And even if there had been scenes showing inappropriate boundary violations, that's something that occurs in real life-and so, just as depictions of many other human frailties and misdeeds are accepted in movies because of an awareness by the audience that it's done by actors in order to contain all the scenes necessary to end up with a story to watch-so also should this be accepted without comment. I wonder if there's similar complaints about all the bloodshed in the great Scorcese gangster movies, or the Godfather movies? Probably not I'm guessing-yet that's an example of far greater evil than some "inappropriate boundary violation". Especially when it's there only in someone's fevered imagination! Some people just lurrrv to take offence!

@@darrylschultz9395 Being duped is not "willingly participating". You seem practiced in the art of the gaslight. Interesting that you seem comfortable commenting on my comment that you think should not be commented about.

@@user-rm7zf4bw2b She seems quite keen. "Do you really love me?".Both passionately embrace etc. The man must do what works without of course, mistreatment . Sometimes if a little trickery was necessary for the shy girl to be won, she will end up being glad he had the boldness to try it. P.S. Nowhere did I say your comment shouldn't be commented about.

@@darrylschultz9395 Mistreatment is his only way all the time, though. Yes, you did indeed say it should be accepted without comment. Nice stab at gaslighting, yet again. Winning over a shy girl is different than manipulating a VERY young woman who is too naive to know any better.

@@user-rm7zf4bw2b It's the scene in the movie that I said should be accepted without comment, not "your comment should not be commented about". There are several different scenes in this video-all show a man engaging with a woman who responds with some aloofness which is normal at first, but becomes interested enough to willingly allow things to go further. If men always stopped when there wasn't an immediate positive reaction, the current population of planet earth would be about 12.
