简爱 Jane Eyre review by Heather
I was hesitant at first,but now I am truly hooked. As I waited patiently for each hour of more Jane, I grew to admire the way the book was handled. Yes, much of Jane's past is missing, but what is there is captivating. Georgie Henley is scarily mature - more than she has a right to be - and her understanding of young Jane's gravity and passion was wonderfully portrayed.

When Ruth Wilson took the scene, I didn't see at first how she was the unearthly Jane I had read. But it became clearer and clearer, and by far she is the most human and understandable Jane yet. Her face speaks volumes as she says nothing. "That face," comments Toby Stephens' Rochester. It is true. Though we see her silent face many times, we have no problem guessing exactly what she is feeling.

At first, I thought Toby was disappointing. I quite liked the sarcasm of William Hurt in the 1996 version, and Mr. Stephens seemed more brash than sarcastic, more flirting than teasing. But it was the chemistry that quite obviously grew between these two characters that has solidified Toby Stephens as Edward Fairfax Rochester for me. For the first time in a movie version, I realized how much the two had become friends first, and then soul mates.

Two other things were handled extraordinarily. The sex and the scary. From dark corridors and floating candles, burning beds, portraits of mad people and blood dripping, Susanna White got her Gothic right. It is almost a ghost story. This suspense keeps the story from being overly lovey-dovey, and shows a real contrast between the white taffeta-covered aristocracy, and the darkly-clad Jane in Rochester's dim study.

As for the X factor, this is not Jane Austen. Women can have conversations with men alone in rooms. Dark-haired, exotic beauties can seduce with a look, cheat with a smile and sin the world round. All of it is not afraid to show up in this version. Rochester and Jane's connection, displayed quite innocently and platonic in some versions, blazes with passion in this. The flashbacks in the final hour of series are some of the steamiest and most emotionally charged parts of this production.

It's heart-warming, passionate, suspenseful, full of beautiful scenery and costuming; all in all, a whole 4 hours of excellent entertainment. Don't miss out.

　　Before tinker bell encountered Peter Pan, she was one of the little fairies who were in charge of the switch of four seasons. Every little move of the climate depends on the effort of little fairies. For instance, they have to teach the infant birds fly; they have to catch the sun light and spread it everywhere, and, they have to melt the ice from the winter. After tinkerbell was born, she knew that had this natural gift to fix things. For this reason, she worked as a tinker. However, she was dying for having more important work. She despised her talent. She tried to learn the skills to control the water, the wind and the soil from other fairies. But she failed dramatically at all of them. When she attempted to prove her skill at gardening, she accidentally destroyed all the preparation of the faries. The spring of London would not come on time. Tinker bell finally realized she should be proud of who she was. Tinker Bell redeemed herself by inventing machines that automate the process of decorating flowers, ladybugs, which allows the other fairies to get back on schedule, thus saving the arrival of Spring. Eventally, she got the chance she dreamed of, to visit mainland.
I coulden't help but think, what are my talents? Maybe they are not stunning, but I assure there is something. Tinker Bell didn't want to be just a tinker. She tried to do some kind of work which was considered as important. Although other fairied told her the main project depended on every fairy, Tinker bell didn't believe all the cliche. She tried so hard to find the value of life. At last, she found it, which was to be confident of herself. According to this story, I will not be jealous of others because they are not richer than I am. She is prettier, and I am heathier. She is talented, and I am happier. This world is versatile, and I believe I am unique in the whole universe.
