Music Monday - Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights - Enjoy

The internet is an amazing thing isn't it?  I always remember seeing Kate Bush and this song on the tele as a 10 year old and being both amazed and frightened and now I just have an intense love for the song and for Kate Bush, and I am glad that she is still loved 40 years later. Amazing to think that she was just 19 herself when she released this song.  This video just made me smile.

Wuthering Heights Dvd

Wuthering Heights (2008)

You know, I do love a good classical novel adaption, and this one was done well. I thought it captured the Cathy/Heathcliff love/betrayal relationship well, with Heathcliff (Tom Hardy), being handsome and conflicted, while manipulating all around him. The directors and screen writers were able to find a good balance between portraying the passion of Heathcliff and Cathy, and the gothic drama of the way that their love eventually destroyed both their lives.

So I am going to have to give it a Christmas 4/5 for watchability. Television is only playing repeats of horrible comdramadies at the moment, and is not fit for watching. So hopefully when my call ends tomorrow morning and the cellphone is switched over to my boss, I can sneak out and watch some movies.

Wuthering Heights - DVD

Wuthering Heights - Dvd (1998)

Out on the wiley, windy moors
We roll and fall in green.
You had a temper like my jealousy:
Too hot, too greedy.

How could you leave me,
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you. I loved you, too.
Bad dreams in the night.
They told me I was going to lose the fight,
Leave behind my wuthering, wutheringWuthering heights.

Heathcliff, its me--cathy.
Come home. Im so cold!
Let me in-a-your window.

Oh my gosh I love that song, still - after all these years. The dvd - mmm not so much. I got that they were acting the jealousy, obsession and revenge bits ok, but the love. I didn't really feel it. Matthew McFadyen would have been so much better as Heathcliff, maybe it is time for a remake.

3/5, and I might have to get another copy of the book.
