Overview
The Earnshaw children expect gifts from their father when he returns to Wuthering Heights after a trip, but are instead greeted with the arrival of Heathcliff, a young Gypsy boy who has come to live with them. Quiet and mysterious, Heathcliff is befriended by Cathy Earnshaw, and the two become inseparable. In adulthood, their bond deepens to love, but a forced absence opens Cathy to the affections of a different suitor - Edgar Linton. Given the choice between a life of comfort and a profound love, Cathy's actions have repercussions for multiple generations in this haunting story of turbulent passion and revenge.
In the book, the characters are described in a completely different way, Heathcliff and Katie are initially cunning and behave aggressively towards others.
And here they were made into great martyrs.
Yes, there are some inconsistencies with the book, a lot of details are overlooked or shown too briefly, but for some reason this mini-series turned out to be to my liking, and to be honest, the whole plot and story is more catchy here than in the novel itself. There is somehow more empathy for the characters than in the book. Take at least Heathcliff, if in the original source he causes only negative emotions, then there are rather mixed, sometimes the hero is even to some extent sorry.
In general, someone likes this film adaptation, someone does not. I still advise others to take a look, if anyone doubts, especially since it only takes a little more than 2 hours.
