The reviews are in - it's mid.
do women still love gay chads?
>>217959321Of course it is. She took a literary classic and used it as a vehicle to create self-indulgent girl-smut. It's a lot like what's happening in the actual literary work where horny low-iq women are hijacking entire genres to make girl-smut. Even the normally girl-power shills probably felt at some level that it's vapid trash.
not DEI enough, minus 20 tomatoes
>>217959321Its a shit book too so im not surprised
>>217959321It’s racist.
Pluto Romance is showing all the Wuthering Heightses
>>217959321It's terrible, there is smoking in it. Also she never gets her tits out and neither does the other chick>>217959601>actors of color(fuck this is retarded)>EdgarOh, shit, he's a fucking paki. Wouldn't have known if this hadn't told me. Well, now I know another reason this movie is shit
>>217959321Robbie kills it. She looks twice his age. And Elordi could have sold the movie to fangirls on his own with some 20 yr old nobody as Cathy.
>>217959780It’s not retarded. It’s injustice.
>>217960212hm?
>>217959388Yes it was, just not Heathcliff
>>217960507POC deserve good representation.
>>217959842Elordi is a much better actor too. Robbie has no business in this movie, but she's a producer on it too so what can you do.
>>217959780>Oh, shit, he's a fucking paki. Wouldn't have known if this hadn't told me. really nigger
>>217959385Most people read it in their teens/20s, before smut brain fully developed.
>>217959321William Wyler made this movie in 1937, nobody will ever adapt a book better than he did.It simply cannot be done.
>>217961444WHITEWASHED
>>217961444He didn't even adapt the better second half of the book
>>217959385>>217959611>She took a literary classic and used it as a vehicle to create self-indulgent girl-smut.Seems based to me
>>217962407Sounds like femcel logic.
>>217959321wow just like all of emerald fennell's works, who would've thought?she should never be given another penny to make a movie.
>>217962130Neither have 90% of the other movie adaptations, this new one included.
>>217963319It’s silly
>>217961444Wyler is based in every way. He has storytelling in his blood. The Collector is incoherent tho
>>217959842Elordi is not proven boxoffice. All his indies went nowhere even when he played vicious assholes, until GDT gave him a decked out PityChad humanoid. Robbie at least has brand recognition
>>217963705I forgot he did The Collector. I thought his name sounded familiar.
>>217959321No nogs? This isn't gonna play well in the absolute states.
>>217963749DC fans going to see DC movies isn’t because of Robbie
>>217959842thats because shes the directors self insert, theyre both white women in their mid 30s and book cathy was like half that age
everything emerald fennell is mid to tripeshe could not make a good film to save her life, it's all just stolen bollockseven muh saltburn dance was lifted from a fucking chocolate advert:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Uxnpc-JQ3o
>>217961313They cover him in make upHe just looks Welsh in the movie
I went into the novel expecting a love story when it's more accurately described as a "hate story." Heathcliff is a world-historical hater.
>>217964263nah
>>217959321I liked it.
>>217964334No lol I’m Welsh I’ll concede that can be argued in some shots, but there’s no way you watched this entire film and left thinking that was a white man.
>>217964480why
>>217960649there is no such thing as a right to proportional media representation
>>217959601>>217960649>it's intolerable to cast a white actor for Heathcliff >but you can cast of poc for a white character like EdgarI hate you all so much
I saw it with my mom and we liked it
>>217959321she is too old
>>217961313he was captain Nemo in the Nautilus series which was low level kinobut it appears he also played Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde which sucks because of the race switchingit infuriates me so much, these people sincerely think it's scandalous to cast minority characters with white actors but for them it's fine to cast white characters with black/brown actorsthere are actually two versions of captain Nemo in Verne's writings, one where he is Polish and another where he is Indian, I bet that if they had made him polish in the Nautilus series, they would have been furious
Gone with the Wind is another period piece with the kind of steamy romance that women love so muchYet it hasn't received a modern adaptation, I wonder why
>>217964480Yeah it’s not a love story like Pride and Prejudice, although I would argue it’s a more “realistic” love story about jealous anger and spite. Looks like the movie is just softcore for women though, it’ll be funny if it convinces dry old hags to read the novel and see what happens to Catherine.
>>217968933you know why
>>217964480That's what surprises a lot of people. In many ways, it shares some themes with The Count of Monte Cristo and other revenge stories, just in its own way. It's honestly surprising that a woman wrote it, because it speaks to the fantasies a lot of guys have when spurned. "Well, one day I'll be rich and powerful and make them all suffer..." It's a juvenile fantasy, granted, but it is a male-perspective.
>>217959321>watch this with my wife (we're Singaporeans)>woke casting right out of the gate>can't take the rest of the movie seriouslyAt least the costumes were nice but the "colorblind casting" was far and away the worst and most baffling decision. We watched this movie to be transported to jolly old England and instead we got modern England in cosplay.
>>217959601Is this a sign woke is dead?
>>217969707Is that you Chris?
>>217959321I like this poster is made to look like an old cheap paperback romance novel. I think it's a fun detail.
bump
>>217959321wuthering HAGS
>>217969707oh but you have no problem with white Heathcliff HUH
>>217959601Le "colorblind casting" makes no sense if one of the major themes of the story is people constantly shitting on Heathcliff for being a gypsy.
>>217961313That's Clem Fandango.
>>217959321It’s great
>>217959401hey now
>>217959385You do understand that horny low-iq gooner women trickle down to chuds like you?This is a benefit to all the virgins of /tv:
>>217971596oh fuck, it is
>>217959321needed more saltburn seaman slurping
>>217964206The weird thing is the 2011 movie by Andrea Arnold went out of it's way to cast "a dark-skinned gypsy" like described in the novel, but this one didn't? I guess they thought Jacob having dark features was good enough.
>>217973094they did not cast a dark-skinned Gypsy, the cast a unknown mulatto who is now in prison for beating his pregnant Indian gf and calling her racial slurs lel
>>217972338really
Will watch eventually for my AGP queen Margot.
>>217963749sometimes an actor just doesn't get cast in something good despite their ability.
I couldn't get a last minute restaurant reservation so me and my gf are going to watch it tonight. About to smuggle half a liter of wine in
>>217974471based
>>217973978pretty
>>217973565Pretty I'm character for Heathcliff
Cathy is supposed to be 20. It just looks off with a 35 year old playing someone who is supposed to be coming of age
>>217976373she’s beautiful
>>217970042No, Helen of Detroit is still coming out this year.
>>217974471My wife and I agree that Valentines is fucking stupid. I take her to our favorite restaurant a few times a month, every time I hear “happy birthday”, etc, point being its a place people go to celebrate whereas I go with her just to enjoy a meal. Tonight? Ugh, fuck no. Couldnt be bothered. Bunch of fucking idiots polluting our space, id rather just stay here, make love to one another tonight and then go out tomorrow. Also I wont see this film, it sounds like dogshit.
>>217974471>>217976970>my gf>my wife4chan 2025
>>217977095Ive been posting here since 2008 amigo
>>217971548he's not a gypsy, that's just a gossip
>>217959321Hard to take anything from critics scores as the majority will just be seething that Heathcliff isn't being played by John Boyega.
>>217977685wtf are you even talking about?
>>217976970>My wife has an inner ear infection...
>>217976806Robbie is beautiful but how many roles is she going to steal from up and coming actresses
>>217977705Lurk more, faggot.
There's been so many people saying that Heathcliff should have been the paki instead. It would have been so funny watching the Galentine's viewers pussies dry up in real time.I personally felt incredibly uncomfortable by the end of the film. I hadn't read WH beforehand so I thought it was gonna be a fluffy silly Pride and Prejudice type film. Instead it's one of those stories that tarnishes your faith in humanity. It gave me the same kind of sick disgust that I felt watching Gone Girl. I have no idea wtf the drama about the movie is. Nobody wants an ugly gog as Heathcliff and Margot put in a good performance if you don't mentally click that she's supposed to be a teenager.I even watched the 2011 film just as comparison and found it dull as shit compared to the new one. It features a black Heathcliff and he's the focus character we follow instead of Cathy but it failed to hit the same highs that the new version offered
>>217977748>another generic remarkWho paid for this post?
>>217977760>a fluffy silly Pride and Prejudice type film.Common misconception, it's basically gothic horror presenting itself as romance.Heathcliff is a very deranged psychopath.
>>217971548The writer wouldn't have any kind of reference for any pikey. And she certainly wouldn't have found them a charming enough race to write a story about. The book isn't about racism, it's about classism. References to his skin are more about how dirty and rough and unkept the man is. He doesn't fit in high society and everyone knows it. That's why they hate him.
>>217977800Yup, I realised that quite early lol... Some of the romance stuff was quite good but Jesus the cuckoldry and bdsm and Heathcliff's eagerness to fuck a woman carrying another man's child was so uncomfortably woman brained. I actually thought Heathcliff came off relatively understandable until the sex montage. He comes across as being more like a gentle giant early on and Cathy just likes to rile him up.
>>217977825They definitely say he looks different from everyone else, I'm reading the book right now (it rocks, and I knew this movie would be dogshit when I found out there is no Hindley, a horrid sign).You're right that the classism is the bigger factor than race, beyond any doubt (Hindley is instantly accepted of Heathcliff as soon as he realizes he has money); but I believe the race factor in Heathcliff is to show that even when he DOES belong, class-wise, he will always stick out visually no matter what.It's a good book, not at all what I expected. Emily probably knew many rich morons who deserved this fate.Based Lockwood almost dying multiple times and I'm only halfway, god I love that retard.
>>217977739There aren't any of note.
>>217977760Would have absolutely bombed.
>>217977990Emily just condemned the whole >dark stranger with a tortured pastromance genre, shame most teenage girls who read it love him.
>>217959321Had to study the book in secondary school and wouldn't see this if you paid me. Grim, depressing shite from 200 years ago.
>>217973565>they did not cast a dark-skinned Gypsy, the cast a unknown mulattoThey're basically the same thing?
>>217973978The dress looks like dogshit
>>217977760>It would have been so funny watching the Galentine's viewers pussies dry up in real time. but he looks more like the books description than Elordi does, there was also a monstrous element to Heathcliff. Elordi if anything is also too classically and conventionally handsome for Heathcliff even aside from everything else, so they really just want Chad
>>217959321it's Wuthering Heights. Of course it's mid.
>>217978610no
>>217968933they should just make mammy a robot.
>>217964334>He just looks WelshNigger go to an ophtalmologist.
>>217981757insane body but holy shit she has the worst case of australian-mouth ever
In the book he is described as Indian and Chinese. Casting Elordi is bullshit
>>217981757Its called acting and playing a role. She looks good regardless
>>217959321Another mar-got flop. Back to Ramsay Street bitch.
>>217981757It's fine. We live in interesting times
>>217982414what body
>>217978117>shame most teenage girls who read it love himI just got to the point where he's married Isabella and is treating her like total shit, not just openly but bragging about it. I'd love to see a woman who adores Heathcliff explain his horrendous treatment of her.I'll say she's an idiot for marrying Heathcliff but she seemingly doesn't deserve the treatment. He tried hanging her dog and she still left with him for the marriage?? He's a psycho, she's a moron. I love how everyone ever has wronged Heathcliff, apparently.
>>217983073who?
>>217985004 Alyssa Ann Zinger
>>217982576jaw too wide. dropped.
>>217983073wth
>>217982414Having a broad smile is healthy, you don't want gaps between the corners of your mouth and your teetht. someone who's currently getting an upper jaw surgery for health reasons
>>217986609This vain bitch is getting smile surgery
>>217986657My teeth will literally get ground down to the gum if i don't
>>217982730flop?
>>217977760>I have no idea wtf the drama about the movie is.In 2026 it's still taboo for women to fantasize about hot men. Deep down it's still ingrained in our culture that only men have that right to attraction while women's sexuality is something to be controlled.
>>217989862Love from Kazakhstan
I was probaly gonna watch this but apparently the soundtrack has that annoying coke whore Charley xcx?Cant stand anything related to her so i'll passIm glad its trash
>>217989862>In 2026 it's still taboo for women to fantasize about hot men. Deep down it's still ingrained in our culture that only men have that right to attraction while women's sexuality is something to be controlled.you are completely delusional if you believe that's the case
>>217989984It's true though. If it's approved, it's only under the stipulation that it's somehow also given to men like with fujos and Heated Rivalry. So it's not women owning their sexuality in the same way men do, it still ends with everything being given to men.
>>217989928She’s not in it
>>217989862The romantasy book genre has bled into mainstream and those are simply pure smut.
>>217990033This is insane delusions even by 4chan standards.
>>217990033> If it's approved, it's only under the stipulation that it's somehow also given to men like with fujos and Heated Rivalry.this sentence makes no fucking sense>This is insane delusions even by 4chan standards.because this is a reddit-tier fantasy
>>217988976no
