What Culture seeks to reassure fans of James Bond movies about the past career of new director Cary Fukunaga.
However, the critical response to his 2011 adaptation of Charlotte Brontë’s iconic novel Jane Eyre should reassure these fans. The film, starring Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender, received universal acclaim upon its release with many critics noting the faithfulness to Brontë’s 1847 novel. (Josh Sandy)
Senses of Cinema compares Dario Argento's
Suspiria and the new version of Luca Guadagnino:
My Mother: Demonology typifies the literary readymade mode in which the decidedly postmodern Acker flourished with her cut-and-paste approach to form and intertextual referencing: throughout the book, Argento sits comfortably alongside references to everyone from Georges Bataille to Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, Arthur Rimbaud to Radley Metzger, Emily Brontë to Luis Buñuel.

Our Daily Bread on Joseph from
Wuthering Heights:
In Emily Brontë’s novel Wuthering Heights, a cantankerous man who often quotes the Bible to criticize others is memorably described as “the wearisomest self-righteous Pharisee that ever ransacked a Bible to rake [apply] the promises to himself and fling the curses to his neighbours.”
It’s a funny line; and it may even bring particular people to mind. But aren’t we all a bit like this—prone to condemn others’ failures while excusing our own? (Monica Brands)
Hoosier Times on the 'domestication' of Frankenstein:
Adaptations of Frankenstein’s monster have become so prevalent that they’re not necessarily even scary — often it’s more like an old friend than something that causes fear.
“How many literary characters have a cereal named after them?” Baumann said. Only two come to mind: Frankenberry and Count Chocula (after Bram Stoker’s “Dracula,” another long surviving gothic horror tale). “It’s not like you have ‘Jane Eyre’ cereal.”
A monster finding its way to the front of a sugary, marshmallow-filled cereal is an example of what Baumann calls a domestication of monsters through pop culture references. (Jenny Porter Tilley)
CafeBiz (Vietnam) interviews Chinese tycoon Jack Ma.
Nước Anh là một đất nước tuyệt vời. Đây là quốc gia hiếm có khi có Nữ hoàng và thủ tướng đương nhiệm cùng là nữ giới. Quốc gia này cũng có nhiều nhà khoa học, nhà tư tưởng và tác giả nữ giới nổi tiếng. Tôi nhớ khi bắt đầu học tiếng Anh, có một tiểu thuyết bất kỳ ai cũng phải đọc đó là Jane Eyre, còn ngày nay là cuốn Harry Potter. Chính phụ nữ đã góp phần tạo nên lịch sử của nước Anh.
