#the brontes of haworth

[recycledmoviecostumes]

This dress has seen extensive use over the years. Its first sighting was on actress Sheila Raynor as Tabitha Aykroyd in the 1973 mini-series The Brontës of Haworth. In 1978 it was spotted on Pippa Guard as Maggie Tulliver in The Mill on the Floss. The following year it made a very brief appearance on an extra in The Old Curiosity Shop. 1985’s The Pickwick Papers recycled the dress for use on Tamsin Heatley in the role of Mary, and in 1999 Justine Waddell wore the costume as Molly Gibson in Wives and Daughters. In 2007, the gown was worn by Julia Sawalha as Jessie Brown in Cranford, and finally in 2019 on Gemma Whelan as Marian Lister in Gentleman Jack.

I wanted to put these recommendations in my post about the Emily movie but that was long enough, so here goes. If you’re looking for better adaptations of the lives of the Brontës:

The Brontës of Haworth (streaming on Amazon Prime) This is a meticulous, five-hour BBC miniseries from 1973. Like most British TV of that era, the production values are minimalist (almost rudimentary at times)---but the simplicity creates an immersive effect. You feel like you’re right there, in the parsonage with the family (it was actually shot on location, in the parsonage, Haworth, and on the surrounding moors).

The series covers the Brontës’ lives from childhood all the way through Charlotte’s death, focusing more on their private lives than on the sisters’ artistic success (someday we’ll get to see Charlotte as the toast of London that she briefly was!) Every character is perfectly cast: plain in appearance but passionate in spirit. The script and performances respect the audience’s intelligence by remaining faithful to the era and to the Brontës. They convey the creative fire that burned within these unassuming people without any anachronistic bullshit to make them “relatable” to modern viewers. (In other words, you won’t see a tousle-haired, randy Emily snogging the curate.) It’s a long, slow, quiet watch, perfect to binge over a wintry weekend -- it might even give you some dark academia vibes, if you’re into that.

To Walk Invisible (streaming on Amazon Prime) I recommend this 2016 BBC movie for its excellent casting and exquisite visuals. Sadly, the story is a little lacking because it’s mostly about Branwell. The title comes from a real letter of Charlotte’s, in which she lamented the fate of women “to walk invisible” while men got to pursue lives of purpose and action. That’s pretty ironic, because this pic sidelines the three genius sisters to focus on their ne’er-do-well brother, the only son and the only Brontë kid who never amounted to anything. An odd choice, especially since it was written and directed by a woman. This is really one to watch because it’s pretty, but it’s also blessedly free of anachronisms and fictitious sexytimes.

Who would win in a fight, Jane Austen or Charlotte Bronte

Jane Austen has the significant size advantage that I have to assume would sway it. Charlotte Bronte has a lot of passion but JA could just put her outstretched arm on her head like you do with a younger sibling and let her tire herself out.

Some things wrong about Emily (2022)

So we watched Emily (2022) recently, and it left us feeling conflicted with a desire to explain why — spoilers below the cut.

Note: we made this list before we read the film's summary saying that it “imagines the transformative, exhilarating, and uplifting journey to womanhood of a rebel and misfit”, along with a statement acknowledging that it mixes known biographical details with imagined situations and relationships.

Anne and Emily’s close relationship is not represented (in childhood they were “like twins”, and they were inseparable companions).

The romanticisation of drug use; there are closeup shots of Emily's pupils constricting and then scenes of her frolicking on the moors with pleasant music, etc. (there is zero evidence of Emily using drugs).

Emily and William have an affair/sexual intercourse multiple times when there is no evidence of Emily ever being romantically in love with anyone (this seems to have been the main part in the “uplifting journey to womanhood”, as if a virgin in their 20s isn't already a woman; Victorian morals were thrown out the window).

William Weightman’s characterisation (on his monument it says he was “greatly respected for his orthodox principles, moral habits...”).

Wuthering Heights is written after Branwell’s death and apparently because of Emily's feelings following the death of William Weightman (her lover). The book is also not initially published under Emily's pen name Ellis Bell (it wasn't until two years after her death that it was published using her name).

The family's pets are omitted, when the siblings were all known to be animal lovers particularly Emily herself (not even one dog was shown).

The Yorkshire accents go in and out (not that this is a big problem, but if you're going to do accents, do them professionally).

The lack of display of all the sister’s writing interest and abilities, along with how they would write to supplement income.

There probably are other points that we didn't address, alas we can't think of anymore. Honestly, it’s disappointing and almost repulsive that this film is receiving positive feedback (particularly because of its female writer and director), when it clearly has many overlooked faults and anachronisms. People can say it has the loveliest cinematography, soundtrack, acting, etc., but those elements alone are not what make a film good. Based on what we know about the Brontës, we much rather recommend the film To Walk Invisible (2016) and the series The Brontës of Haworth (1973) — both are actually authentic and more historically accurate.

Emily (15): Riddle me this... why is this movie like The Corrs?

#onemannsmovies review of "Emily" (2022). #EmilyMovie. Director Frances O'Connor and actor Emma Mackey deliver a Brontë tour de force. 5/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “Emily” (2022). I wasn’t particularly impressed by the trailer for this one. And on understanding that actress Frances O’Connor had written and directed this as her debut feature film, my first thought was “uh, uh – here comes a vanity-project disaster”. But nothing could be further from the truth. For Emily, a drama based on an “imagined” variant of the short and…

Back on my Bronte bullshit: Jane, Healthcliff, and Catherine Linton Heathcliff.

One day I’ll find that portal to the timeline where Naveen Andrews plays Heathcliff.

I went over the pictures of my visit to Haworth (the Bronte Sisters place) and I forgot I managed to capture some nice daffodils. It was their time, late March 2019.
