i watched this movie because i want to see which one of them is micheal fassbender, who has new movies coming out this year touted as a good watch - shame (2011) and a dangerous method (2011). i still find wasikowska too uptight, while i understand her character as an independent woman trying to survive poverty, being single and betrayal of trusts that could turn any woman into an anxious bucket of sarcasm. eyre is witty and smart, but she is poor and by implication, plain. she has many dark episodes in her life but she wants to be realistic about it without being too naive of how scary the world could be or too scared to shy away from experiencing it. i like fukunaga's direction that gives sense of how stratified society of victorian age favours people of money and dismissed people without money like mere insects - like they have no personality, no feelings, no life. and people with money, they get away with bad behaviour, almost as if such a thing is expected if not condoned.
we, as people, can still be bought with illusions of power and wealth, like those victorians ages ago.
