It’s fun to see a movie adaptation get so much press and coverage and discussed about in regards to the controversial casting and director herself, which I myself haven’t read the book I know Heathcliff is suppose to be black and he should’ve been, but I think Jacob Elordi has become what De Niro is to Scorsese or Johnny Depp is to Tim Burton so the cards just landed that way, regardless I disagree with the racial swap casting  I liked the cinematography, maybe it was a little too much at times for a period piece The acting is good, the story isn’t bad, the third act falls a little flat until the very, very end compared to the rest of the movie Some of the side characters stories don’t feel as relevant to the overall story even though their actions have larger effect on the main characters I just didn’t care about them as much Clearly inspired by *The Notebook, Romeo & Juliet, Marie Antoinette, Saltburn, Barry Lyndon* Take what you want from this movie whether you read the book or you didn’t, I think there’s parts of this people can enjoy either way

An erotic thriller that…lacks both elements so it’s just kinda a movie about a sad couple and then some twisted fucked up incest twist that comes from nowhere and feels really forced because the writers couldn’t think of anything else  Also how does one make their whole personality that they hate playing games? Also hate the song they use in this

Fun movie Cool to see how much *Back to the Future *stuff they can cramp into this movie, honestly could’ve been longer EDIT: I did more research into who this group is and realized this is the kind of stuff they do, a lot of fair use stories using 80s and 90s pop culture makes me appreciate how balls to the walls they go to remake something so iconic like *Back to the Future*

This feels so within the wheelhouse of a Spike Lee movie, but it also feels totally separate from his other work all together too I like both stories going on, but for the movie to be called Jungle Fever and then give us, sometimes a more interesting story with Samuel L. Jackson being a crack addict begging for money I could’ve watched a movie of just that and explore it the crack epidemic through a black directors lens Both stories just kinda clash with each other sometimes, but there’s a lot of dense material, maybe too much, to dig into and make meaning of If it wasn’t obvious before, I’m glad Cannes added an award for best supporting actor just because of Samuel L. Jackson’s performance
