Jane Eyre

-

Dear filmmakers: Please, please, stop trying to not bore us.

I know we're children of the digital age and have grown up on (or become swallowed by) explosions and Mario Kart and Twitter. And those things are all good and wonderful.

But there are some things that cannot be conveyed with briskness and efficiency. And one of those things is a complex, doubt-ridden, hope-infested relationship between two people separated by some elements (class, experience, power, position, guilt) and joined by others (soul, honesty, desire). There's nothing more fascinating than the human heart, so please don't be afraid of lingering. Take your time, build your layers, tell your story, and I promise: we will pay attention.
