New adaptation of the classic Borrascosa SummitesSA EMERALD FENNNELL position (Soltyburn) It will be released next year, but, of course, this awakens the contradiction. In particular, because the director, who also writes the script, seems to have changed the well -known torture between two tragic lovers in sexual obsession. This, judging by the recently published trailer, in which in a quick edition you can see scenes of obvious erotic content. And, no doubt, far from the sober tone of the original novel by Emily Bronte in 1847.
The truth is that the emerald Fennell, known for his controversial point of view, and to achieve perverted social criticism in his films, seems to have gone too far this time. Or, at least, this is the opinion of the Internet, which followed the obsessive interest everything related to production. In particular, the way in which the plot of the tape will try to deepen a story, known for its complexity, emotional intensity and an allegorical feeling. Nevertheless, the director and screenwriter seem to be more interested in torture and the forcibly center of the novel than in its thinnest aspects.
But this is not the only problem in the upcoming drama. A few months ago, this already brought criticism for his cast, aesthetics and even the intention of the prime minister on Valentine’s Day. To deepen the topic, we tell you below everything that you should know about the scandal that surrounds Borrash PeakA field from the complex solutions of the script – or at least what the trailer seems to offer – to ethnic identity his characters. Everything to deepen the last Internet.
The height of the solution and other stupidity for adaptation
One of the most commented and discussed points of future adaptation is the choice of its actors. In particular, the choice of Jacob Elordi (EuphoriaIN Frankenstein) Like an anti -Hitcliff. A character, a person tortured by a stormy past, who ultimately avenged two generations of one family, This is described in the novel as dark skin.
Much more, it is compared with a gypsy and mentioned, very specific, the darkness of his eyes and skin. This may seem like an unimportant element until the time is analyzed when the novel was published and the consequences of the race. In addition, the importance that the author gave the physical aspect of her painful protagonist. In 1847, The ethnic identity of Hitcliff was one of the reasons for the surprise and deviation of the book.
But later, everything that was connected with the physical aspect of the inexorable protagonist seemed to embody the main topics of the novel. IN Borrash PeakLove is equated with the power of destructive nature, in parallel with a cruel climate that surrounds the remote Moors of Yorkshire, in the north of England. So the decision to choose a white and attractive actor for paper, Do not pay attention to one of the most symbolic points of the original.
What was the appearance of Hitcliff?
Nevertheless, Emily Bronte of the Classics of 1847 does not explain in detail what was the appearance of his main character, outside the vague references of his appearance. The discussion on this issue lies in the symbolism, which the author wanted to provide his work And this, in fact, supports most of the argument.
Specialist Claire O’Aklagan, member of society Bronte. ResearchIt insists that Elordi’s choice destroys the subtext of the novel. Much more, because it moves away from ambiguity, from the subtext of the exceptionThe cruelty and isolation with which Bronte gave history.
The problem around the Gothic heroine
On the other hand, the choice of Margot Robbie (Barbie), As Katherine Ernshaw was another uncomfortable debate. In particular, because the heroine of Bronte is only 16 years old during a significant part of the novel and ultimately dies, being still very young. The actress, from 35 years old, doubles the age of character and, like Elordi, has no physical similarity with a description of the novel of origin. The text of Catherine is described as fragile, wild and dark hair.
In the same way as Hitcliff’s, the appearance and age of Catherine are not insignificant details. Surrounded by a wild place, it is unlikely that any careful and formed against the backdrop of negligence, the heroine of Bronte is a tragic creature. But when a mature woman and classical beauty returned, Part of the ability of the novel to turn his character into a symbol of alienation is lost.
It is more unique that the choice of actors decided that the rest of the actor would be multinational. Hong Chau will be performed by Nelly Dean, keys to the keys and the narrator of the novel, which is not described in the novel, but it is clear that this is an English midwife. On the other hand, actor Shazad Latif will embody Edgar Linton, future husband Katherine Ernshaw. Interestingly, the British actor of Indian origin, It is more like a description of Heathcliff than with Edgar – a blond and blue – in the book.
Background of inconvenience in the only adaptation
In addition to its actors, the problem with the upcoming adaptation, in the same way, is based on more difficult problems. In fact, after the publication of his trailer on September 4, concentration was concentrated on the tone and turn, which, according to the visible, is proposed. On the eve of what seems to be winding sexual relations between young and poor treatment with the rich Catherine, who doubles the age. But it is especially focused on what seems to be unequal relationships marked by the domain and desire.
A turn that removes the argument of a strong reflexive burden in the classroom and the race that makes it so innovative. Of course, an erotic load can be considered as another layer in the novel – or a modern interpretation – but will remove the adaptation of essential items that make the original unique. IN Borrash PeakThe dilemma of love is not its climax or unsatisfied need. Prior to this, it is a force that is carried out and violence. Much more when most of the novelExamine in the cruelty that the characters suffer, either from their uprising, or out of appearance.
Sex on the front line
But, of course, the most uncomfortable topic about the adaptation of emerald Fennella is an explosive center of sexual research of the argument. In various scenes, both characters can be seen in what seems sexy ecstasy or at least in the midst of a clear outbreak of desire. In August, the film had evidence of projection in Dallas, and the main comments were focused precisely on his embarrassment of the erotic vision of the novel. There were also comments that the original plot was simplified In favor of sexual scenes and the fact that some of them are clearly for a simple fact of scandalization.
Despite criticism, the production team seems to be satisfied with the result of the film. Harmel Kokrane, the director of the film, faced the contradictions in April in an interview with DeadlineField During the conversation, he admitted that “there will definitely be some fans of English literature that will not be happy” with the adaptation of Emerald Fennell. At the same time, he defended decisions, insisting that this is only a book and is not based on real life. Thus, the emphasis on the sexiest side of the novel – or the fact that the script interprets as such is justified. At the moment, and without additional information about the rest of the participants, it remains only to wait until February 14 to see the result.
