A Time to Build Up

Your vote for our current feature was ...
CHALLENGE2-1-1-2

I like the 1992 version starring Juliette Binoche and Ralph Fiennes.

"I forgive what you have done to me. I love my murderer—but yours! How can I?" (Heathcliff to Cathy) ~Emily Bronte

Are you like me, do you listen intensely to every single word in a movie? I love the writing.

The setting is the harsh and isolated Yorkshire moors in Northern England, and although Emily Bronte wrote this novel during the Victorian Era, the timeline of this story is 1757-1807.
 
"He's more myself than I am.  Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same." (Cathy) ~Emily Bronte

I won't give the plot away, but I will say that this is one of my favorite movies of all times, and the music is literally engraved in my soul.
The best word I could think of to describe the passion between Heathcliff and Cathy is MADDENING, as passion often is.

While I was thinking about this, I remembered a newspaper clipping that I've kept for over 28 years since I was engaged to be married, and I was inspired to update it digitally.

I would give this to Heathcliff and Cathy if I could, although I don't think they'd listen. ;)

Speaking of time, here's something appropriate for this stormy season.

  4. Wuthering Heights is one of my favourite books..it may BE my favourite. The language is so evocative, the setting couldn't be anywhere else,the story heartbreaking...I challenge you not to cry. Does the movie live up to it?
    I love the book so much I named one of my cats Heathcliff.
    Think I've gone on long enough!

    1. I haven't read the book, Jane, but I am sure the writing would take my imagination way beyond the limits of the movie.
      Heathcliff is a cat too?!? Well, he did say he'd take any form to haunt Cathy. ;)

  5. One of my favs too! I have read the book at least a dozen times. Now that all the election stuff is over, a good movie is just the right way to take it easy. Just got home from Ohio and the grand wore me out...in a good way:-D

  6. Hi Marcia. Thank you for following. I'm doing the same. I have seen Whuthering Heights many years ago. I can't remember who starred but it is a wonderful story and I haven't thought of it for many years. I'm going to put it on my Netflix account now. I love these kinds of movies..Happy Wednesday..Judy

  8. My precious friend, YOU PUT SO MUCH INTO YOUR POSTS, I have no idea how you do it. I can only manage to put out a post a week, and these days, it is being extended to almost 2 weeks. BRAVO FOR THIS PERFORMANCE and do you know that I have never seen Wuthering Heights? ONE DAY!

    Off I go to teach...you are in my heart Anita

    1. Awh, thank you, Anita. I actually only post once or twice a week, just seems like more at times. How do I do it? Well, what you see is a combination of things that are done ahead of time, the writing, the photographs, and even the graphics, I do each little by little when I have time and then it comes together. It's effortless really.

  10. As I believe I have mentioned, this is my favourite of all Bronte's stories! The music in the movie is truly captivating and the performances haunting! One cannot forget this story or the landscape easily! I think we all feel we should feels such passion in our life if only for a brief moment...
    I will place this DVD to the top of the pile! Thanks for sharing Marcia!!
    Your tags are breathtaking once again. How ever do you get such inspiration?
    By the by, I am copying that little article you kept for 28 years...So true!
    Blessings to you Friend,

  11. How wonderful! I've read the book and watched the movie but I'm not quite ready for the challenge this month. I hope I can get a post done soon though. This is such a fabulous classic love story. Enjoy your afternoon! It's beautiful here today!

  12. Hello Dear Marcia,
    Wuthering Heights is one of my favorite books, ever! I've read it so many times it feels like an old friend. I think I've probably seen all the WH movies and loved all. I'm sorry to hear you won't be doing your movie parties but happy you'll continue to do movie posts! I know how much you put into each, time and so much love. I know you will continue to enjoy this fun through your posts. You're right about the clipping (so sweet you've kept it for so long), Heathcliff and Cathy would let the wind sweep it away in the moors..........Beautiful tags, as always!

    PS, I linger with the fabulous selection of music!

    Hugs,
    Emily

    Big hugs,
    - Irina

  18. Dear Marcia,

    Another wonderful post! I listen carefully to all that's being said in movies. It's part of this amazing process (movie-watching).

    I'm really sorry I didn't have the time to come up with anything about Wuthering Heights, but I really like what you created.

    Thank you for sharing this poem. How much truth in these words. I'm really happy to start my day by reading something so great.

    Have a great weekend!

    p,s: I love the header illustration!
