Margot Robbie in red latex, Kate Bush impersonators and a pint of Emily ale: my crash course in Brontëmania

[Topsy-Turvy Graveyard]

The Brontë sisters were so ahead of their time with Wuthering Heights I mean, the way they explored themes of class, love, and social status is still super relevant today Fennell's approach to adapting the novel is really interesting, and it's cool that he's not afraid to take risks and make tough choices about what to include and what to leave out I've heard that Wuthering Heights has been a favorite among readers for centuries, and it's amazing how well the story still holds up today

man, i'm so down for another film adaptation of Wuthering Heights , but you know what's wild is how some folks still get it twisted about Heathcliff's background? like, come on, we're not gonna go there in 2025 . anyhoo, i love how Fennell is going all out to bring this classic to life, even if that means making some tough choices along the way. and can we talk about how the novel still holds up today? it's like, the more things change, the more they stay the same, you know? and dawson's got some solid points about taking risks with adaptations... anyway, i'm hyped to see what Fennell comes up with!

I recently stumbled upon this film adaptation news about Wuthering Heights and I gotta say, I'm super curious how they're gonna tackle that complex character Heathcliff . As an English lit student, I've always loved Emily Brontë's novel, but I know it's a tricky thing to adapt into a movie. The way the author weaves in social commentary and class divisions makes me wonder if it'll be done justice on screen . What do you guys think? Should they stick to the original or try to modernize it? And, as someone who loves getting lost in old bookshops , I'm especially excited for Fennell's approach – I've heard Wave of Nostalgia is this gem of a shop in Haworth that's got an amazing selection of Brontë books .

I'm not sure about this film adaptation thing... I mean, Fennell's approach sounds interesting, but have we seen it done before? Like, how many times can we retell Wuthering Heights on screen without getting bored of it? And what's up with Heathcliff's character? Is he really just a symbol of the "other" or is that just a fancy way of saying "we don't know his race so let's not talk about it"? I'm all for adapting classic novels, but can we at least get some solid info on what's going on here? Where's the source on Fennell's film choices?

Ugh, I'm so over people trying to "adapt" classic books ! Like, can't they just leave them alone? Wuthering Heights is a masterpiece and doesn't need some Hollywood twist . And don't even get me started on Heathcliff - what's wrong with the fact that his background is left ambiguous? It adds to the mystery and complexity of the character, you know? I mean, I've seen so many movie adaptations where they just turn him into some generic brooding loner and it just doesn't work . Fennell should have stuck to the original story !
