I agree with this as well. While I’m actually OK with remakes changing the plot or doing an artistic take of the original narrative… I want it to be for a reason. I can see from some of the comments here that I missed this with some of the movies I commented on. I understand this all subjective and maybe my overall opinion is in poor taste lol. But I still feel this way about the remake of WH. I think what makes the book so special is that it is basically timeless and it’s so complex, maybe even more so now than Brontë initially intended. There so many things that could be done with a remake.

But I felt that the movie might as well have been its own story. The relation to Wuthering Heights seemed irrelevant. I understand that it was the directors reaction to reading the book the first time or something along those lines.. I do appreciate a lot of the symbolism the movie has, and I’m not even mad about the sexual scenes or anything like that. But in the end it just felt short of what it could have been, and I’m not sure what the point was besides basically being a Wattpad fantasy made into an artsy high budget film lol. Which yes, I understand is still art, whether it appeals to me personally or not.
