1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: Streight the flick with Bedow Shade. 2 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 2: I've done it again. Another version of Wuthering Heights on 3 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 2: the big screen, Ben. 4 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: Yes with an Assi, Ossie Leads, Ossie leads as Kathy 5 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 1: and Heathcliff look straight off the bat. Some might say 6 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 1: that Kate Bush did a better job of adapting Wuthering 7 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 1: Heights than UK director Emerald Fanell. It's always come out 8 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: of the early Yeah, look, it's not terrible. I just 9 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: want to say, off the bat, it's not terrible. 10 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,879 Speaker 2: What a wonderful way to start. It's not terrible. 11 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,840 Speaker 1: I know, I know, but there are the worst things 12 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: around now now, Lisa, As people have read the book, 13 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: it's not easy to adapt. There have been many adaptations 14 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: over the years. And Emily Bronte's work eighteen forty seven, it's, 15 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: you know, a masterpiece of Gothic cruelty. It's a sprawling novel, 16 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: a tale of two families, told across generations by different 17 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: narrators who may be unreliable in what they're telling you. 18 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: It was ahead of its time. Really. The structure, the 19 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: nonlinear storytelling just bonkers. It's unbelievable that someone even wrote 20 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: this book in eighteen forty seven. Totally. 21 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, racist, class a, sociopolitic, Yeah, all of that. 22 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: A lot of the characters are hard to like. And 23 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: Heathcliff one of literature's all time a hold also dream 24 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: She'll be still my beating heart, Heathcliff, Kate Bushew, All 25 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: do you describe as swarthy? Yeah, that's right, and what 26 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: does that mean Catherine? Catherine is just a bit of 27 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: a really But anyway, so we've got Jacob a Ladie, 28 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: Jacob Jacob Laudie. You know who's so hot right now? 29 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: He was just he was just Frankenstein's creature in Del 30 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: Toro's movie. Yeesh's got an Oscar nomination. He's pretty swarren. Yeah, 31 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: and you, of course you've got Margo Robbie as Catherine. 32 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: She's so red, too old to play too. She's to 33 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: Margo Robbie. And I think she's reached that level of 34 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: fame now where she's like Brad Pitt in every movie, 35 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: Brad Pitt is Brad Pitt in every Margot Robbie movie, 36 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,679 Speaker 1: she's Margo Robbie, which is you know, she's got a 37 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,679 Speaker 1: lot of talent. She's amazing. I love Margot Robbie. But 38 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 1: whether it's whether it's Barbie or Harley Quinn or Tanya Harding, 39 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 1: she's always Margot. 40 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 2: She bring too much Barbie to cats. Honestly, sometimes you 41 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 2: couldn't tell the difference between nothing Barbie about and and 42 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 2: but even it's what they've done to poor old Heathcliff. 43 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 2: They've made him into like a misunderstood soft boy. 44 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: He's like, he's not he's not he's not a bastard 45 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: at all. He's actually just pretty sweet and he's not 46 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: that cruel. And you just go, hang on a minute, 47 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: what's going on with this? And so vanilla? It's very vanilla. 48 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: It's a pretty generic love story. I was expecting something 49 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: edgy because this director her last movie, soul Burn, that 50 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: was right on that edge. All I have to do 51 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: is say the word plug hole, and everybody out there 52 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: who's seen it knows exactly what I'm talking about. And 53 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: I do not want to see that heart well in 54 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: this film, it seems like she's chasing something similar, like 55 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: that controversial moment where everyone goes afterwards or do you 56 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: see that bit where Margo Robbie was poking her finger 57 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: into the fish in the jelly, which is something that 58 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: happens in the movie. But it just is try hard. 59 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: It's so try hard, and it's got a soundtrack of 60 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 1: Charlie XCX songs, which in theory I thought would be 61 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: amazing because Emerald Fanel, the director, likes to kind of 62 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: tear things down. But it's so awkwardly slotted in that 63 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: you go, oh, here's a nice bit of the movie. 64 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: Oh no, oh, now I'm listening to a Charlie XCX track. 65 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: Oh no, back to the movie. Oh here's another Charlie 66 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: XCX track. So just it's kind of like jumps out 67 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: at you and takes you out of that app Ok no, no, no. 68 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: Kate Bush would have been perfect like in this and so, 69 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: and it drags on without really going anywhere. It cuts 70 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: off half the book, so the second generation characters forget 71 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: about them. They're not in it, which is not that unusual. 72 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: A lot of adaptations is of that. Edgar Linton is 73 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: in it, Yeah, yeplag So Edgar Linton is in there, 74 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: but he's not really in there very much. It's it's 75 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: totally about Catherine and Heathcliff. They're breaking little women with 76 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: two sisters. Yeah, that's right. Was basically whoa Yeah you 77 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: want to I know you want, can't. I can't let 78 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 1: him bury this film anymore. And the book and the 79 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: book is the book is very restrained, right, Like, there's 80 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: not a lot of the physical intimacy between Catherine Heathcliffe, 81 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: but this is just a torrent, steamy bodice ripper. Oh well, yeah. 82 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 2: I read a review that said, where Wuthering Rehearts removes 83 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 2: the socio political context of Brontie's novel, it fills it 84 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 2: out with fifty shades of gray. 85 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 1: Fifty shades of greg How many lots of nice games 86 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: are you giving it? It was still very beautiful to watch, 87 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: and Jacob Alde is amazing, so I'm going to give 88 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 1: it three. 89 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 2: Okay, So. 90 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: All right, Withering Thought, withering, bering heights, withering, withering mids.
