I am SO FUCKING SICK
of people acting like the reason the readers are hating on the 2026 wuthering heights movie is because it’s not a beat by beat adaptation of the book and because it “took creative liberties”.
we WELCOME creative liberties
The literature nerds are CREATIVE people
ARTISTIC people
we’d LOVE to see an adaptation that has a completely different take on the book! that explores the book through a completely different lens! a never seen before version!
we’d love to see an adaptation that actually pays homage to and delves deep in the pseudo-sadomasochistic elements of the book and dynamics! that acknowledges the layer of sensuality in the book and expands and runs with it !
That would’ve been AMAZING!
We’re fucking pissed because this movie was NOT that in ANY way.
No creativity or uniqueness or freshness
Instead, it took away everything that made the book so very disturbing and captivating. What made the book so transgressive and progressive and ahead of its time. The very reason that it’s such an enormous deal, even 179 years after it was published. the CRUX of the story, the heart of it, thekey themes it explores, the entire main PLOTLINE
and turned it into a bland flat 2D shallow dumb brainless spicy booktok fantasy come to life
it could be categorised in the same box as twilight and fifty shades
a story about inter generational trauma, cycles of abuse, racism, classism, revenge, obsession, toxicity, codependency, domestic violence, societal norms, insanity
completely stripped of it’s layers and cooked down to a dark romance
