【影评荟萃】
1．\"Jane Eyre\" is a dramatic and entertaining version of the Charlotte Brnete claic.Part mystery，part romance，and part costume drama，the film has strongest appeal to women，but even men should enjoy the performances of leads Joan Fontaine and orson Welles，as well as the crackling script.
《简•爱》是根据夏洛蒂•勃朗特的小说改编的情节曲折动人的电影。既有神秘色彩，又有爱情故事，还有华丽服饰，该影片吸引住了大量女观众，但即使是男观众也会倾倒于琼•芳登与奥森•威勒斯的精彩表演，以及声色并茂的剧本。
2．The story takes place in England，during the 19th century.Jane Eyre (Fontaine) is orphaned at a young age.Raised in a dismal charity school，her only friend is Helen (Elizabeth Taylor).She is bullied by obseive puritan headmaster Brocklehurst (Henry Daniell，whom you might recognize from \"The Great Dictator\").Coming of age，she is employed as a governe at an imposing estate，where she falls in love with her employer，moody Recbester (Welles).
故事发生在19世纪的英国。简•爱(芳登扮演)自小就是个孤儿。她在阴阴沉沉的慈善学校里长大，唯—的朋友叫海伦(伊丽莎白•泰勒扮演)。虚伪的清教徒校长勃洛克赫斯特先生(亨利•丹尼尔扮演，也许你能从《大独裁者》中认出他来) 总是羞辱她。成年后，她受雇到气派的庄园中担任家庭女教师，并爱上了她的雇主罗切斯特先生(威勒斯扮演)。
3．Welles has a booming voice，wild eyes and a commanding attitude.He talks in riddles，and bas a mysterious past.There is also an insane woman that he is holding prisoner in one of the castle\'s towers.
威勒斯的声音低沉、眼神狂野、颐指气使。他说的话深沉，有谜一般的过去。在古堡塔楼的一个房间里，他还关着一个疯女人。
4．Fentaine appears uncomfortable，and her acting mostly consists of silent suffering.But she does this quite well，just as she did in \"Rebecca\".Her character falls in love very quickly with tempestuous Rochester.This is credible，since her self-preservation instincts would sense the opportunity in marrying a wealthy man，and he is the first marriageable man that she has met.Still，\"Jane Eyre\" is a very enjoyable soaper，especially Welles\' campy performance.
芳登表演的是不安的、默默地忍受着痛苦的形象。不过她在这 部片子里的表现和她在《蝴蝶梦》中的一样好。她和性情乖戾的 罗切斯特很快地陷入了爱河。这是可以理解的，她自制的性格会让她有嫁给个有钱男人的念头，他还是她遇到的第一个可以考虑结婚的人。不过，《简•爱》仍然是一出好片子，尤其威勒斯那栩栩如生的表演格外精彩。
