Emily Brönte is most well-known for “Wuthering Heights”, her first and only novel. Influenced by romanticism and gothic fiction, the novel centres around Mr. Lockwood, an English native who stumbles upon two diaries during his unnerving stay at Wuthering Heights, Yorkshire. The diaries unravel a deeply complicated love story between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, who were completely encompassed by one another until their relationship ruined everyone, and everything around them.Emily 2022 Movie Download.
Frances O’Connor’s 2-hour film Emily captures the writer’s life before the 1847 classic novel was written or published. Focusing mainly on Emily’s strength but also her struggles, writer and director Frances O’Connor sheds light upon the pressures and standards placed upon Emily by her family, which halted her ‘childish’ writing fantasies and almost forced her into teaching alongside her sister Charlotte.
There is a significant focus on the strength of family within the narrative of this film, especially the highs and lows. Emily (Emma Mackey) and Branwell Brönte (Fionn Whitehead) have perfect on-screen chemistry as brother and sister, making the duo my favourite acting performance of the release, particularly the ‘Freedom In Thought’ sequence, which I’m sure will stick with everybody who watches. The sequence places Emily and Branwell upon a desolate, extensive grassland as Branwell encourages Emily to scream as loud as she can, exclaiming that there is “freedom in thought”. It’s a powerful scene not only because of the delivery of the performance, but also due to the power behind the sentience of the phrase, with both characters putting aside their personal struggles and allowing themselves to be completely free. Emily’s sisterly bonds with Charlotte (Alexandra Dowling) and Anne (Amelia Gething) also play a huge role within the film, especially with regard to her creativity and writing abilities – as they are both constantly questioned and criticised by her sisters.
