Having seen the most recent remake of Jane Eyre I was not sure what to expect. However, I was very impressed with Welles work in this film. Orson Welles does a remarkable job depicting the intensity of this film. Joan Fontaine's performance as Jane Eyre is amazing. The music in this film adds to the effect of the movie and fits with every scene very well. The cinematography is perfect for every scene. The way that the camera shows Jane as she talks makes you believe in her. The dark light that is used whenever the camera is inside the school, adds to the gloomy and scary feel of it. However, the light that shines while the girls are outside is symbolic to the freedom they feel when they are outside of those walls.
