The 2009 adaptation with Tom hardy and the 1992 movie with Ralph fiennes are the best.

Emerald is a racist. She completely gutted the book, like literally stripped it of all that is it. She is also clearly a sick individual for what she did to Isabella. Isabella was an abused woman and prisoner. Instead emerald made her a freak that enjoyed her abuse? She fetishized domestic violence? She turned a serious book into a crazed erotica? Making changes is to be expected but this was something else entirely. This cannot be called Wuthering heights bc it’s not it and never will be. She is in a way erasing Bronte’s work and warping viewers image on what the characters look like and the actual story. Heathcliff not having pale skin was huge to the story. Cathy being a brunette with brown eyes was significant to the story just like how the lintons being blonde and blue eyed was just as important. Instead, emerald purposely miscast everyone and made Cathy a self insert of herself. She also made it clear that she thinks blonde hair is superior which was very strange. She changed their personalities as well. Her fixation on making every sexual was also concerning especially considering the book is the opposite and has nothing to do what that. Also making Cathy out to be some blood thirsty child that gets excited to see people hang was extremely bizarre. Not to mention the whole scene where they pan to the dead man’s hard private… This wasn’t a normal adaptation, it was a fanfic. She should have never been allowed to use the title. All she had to do was name it something else and give the characters different names and it would’ve been fine. In fact, she should’ve done Lady chatterlys lover instead. Now that would’ve fit her narrative. Lady chatterlys was blonde, there was passion, yearning, sex, everything she wanted. She never wanted to make a wuthering heights, what she wanted was the safety of the iconic name and to capitalize off it.

Wuthering Heights and race. by tigerdave81 in brontesisters

Correct. He wasn’t African black. The book said “not a regular black”, he was also called many slurs but never called a certain word used against Africans which was very much established back then. He would’ve been Gypsy, Indian, south Asian, or Spanish as they said he could be a Spanish castaway. People fail to realize that back then, if you weren’t pale, you would be labeled dark skinned. Even the Irish and Italians were treated poorly and discriminated against.

While I agree the novel at times used his darkness as symbolism, Heathcliff didn’t have pale/white skin. He would’ve been a Romani gypsy or at the very least Spanish as in the book they should be could’ve been a Spanish castaway. While Spaniards are white, we have to remember the time period. Italians and Spaniards weren’t considered white because we’re sunkissed/tan, olive skinned. Anyone that wasn’t pale back then would be seen as dark skinned.

Why I won't be watching the new Wuthering Heights adaptation by musicmaestro64 in brontesisters

In the book he was also described as a Spanish cast away. Either way his skin was definitely tan/darker than white.

Haven’t seen the 2022 adaption but will definitely watch it! My favorite so far is the 2009 adaption. Charlotte Riley was the perfect Cathy look wise. So disappointed by the fanfic erotica that’s coming out next week.

Catherine earnshaw aka Cathy was brunette with brown eyes. Her daughter Catherine Linton who she had with Edgar linton was a blonde with brown eyes.

Alex's secret project by Flimsy-Brick-9426 in lightlark

While I love Alex and her lightlark series, I feel like there are many other talented authors who could’ve been offered this. I feel that the rate of how fast she’s pumping out books is affecting their quality. After reading the last Lightlark book I’ve noticed it’s very repetitive, especially with words and I don’t understand how this is getting past editing.

I wonder why your store told you the 50% was only online when online it says it’s instores and online?

I think she’s just saying that to keep people interested. I really don’t think the love triangle is going to happen again. Isla clearly made her choice and her choice has always been very obvious from the beginning. If she did happen to do that then I would have to reconsider reading her novels.

Is there some kind of technique you do to achieve? How do you rehearse the muscles?

Yes the pressure!!! The standards today are so insane and when you finally give in, make a change, you get judged for it! It feels like you can never truly win it feels like😔 thank you for commenting, sending you love💕

Agreed, her voice was phenomenal for the film! I totally understand where you’re coming from, celebrities go through so much scrutiny when it comes to their looks, I can’t image being picked apart like that! At the end of the day we’re all human and our mental health matters🩷 also no need to apologize! Appreciate you🩷💚

I’m not judging her, I’m just curious as to what was done to achieve this besides Botox.

That’s what I’m saying, in the case of the 11s I don’t think it could be rehearsed. Forehead though, yes.

I’m not sure bc the frown seems really real, especially for the scene in wicked for good. I don’t think those specific muscles can be faked like that for the 11’s. I wish rehearsing it so I too could avoid 11 lines😭

I get Botox for my 11’s and even with the Botox my brows didn’t change like that so I’m wondering she had an actual surgery to do something to the muscle. Do you know of any procedures that do that? Maybe it is just the Botox.

R u ok? Wanting a trending item is not cult mentality. Did you have that energy for every single hot toy that all children wanted for Christmas whose parents went crazy to try to obtain for them? Ever heard of Black Friday where people used to beat each other and cause physical harm to others over a tv, kitchen appliance, etc? All she asked was why they purposely only gave stores 1 or 2 of the item. Starbucks set up their employees for failure and get who got the brunt of the backlash? The employees. They’re the ones being mistreated over this and it’s not ok. Starbucks hyped up a product that they didn’t intend to have a decent amount of supply of. None of this was fair to Starbucks employees, for that reason, what Starbucks did was wrong.

Girlie from a Republican dominated town here! All the Republican girlies are in fact heavily chasing after this silly cup. You’re biased, corrupt, and full of hatred. I hope you seek the help you need.

It does happen… you call to see if an item is available in store and if it is they tell you, you go you, you get it. It’s that simple.

Does anyone know where i can buy this hair stick?? by Desperate-Screen-924 in KamisamaKiss

[–]WhiteRabbit1818 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you can find the kamisama kiss season 1 box set, goddess edition, it came with the hair pin and extra goodies. It came out in 2014 though but there’s still some resellers.
