REAL COURAGE

This young man took two years to research that which took real courage ~ the TRUTH. The world is dazzled by the tales he chooses to direct on film. As the young director of the new JANE EYRE, we can appreciate his sensitive approach and his fresh perspective. He captures the spirit of a maturing teen in Jane. He directs his audience to AWE with a magnificient script that is steeped in a gothic stage. We then witness the brilliant courage of a character whose confidence was built by an earthquake of misfortune. The new adaptation of Jane Eyre––directed by Cary Fukunaga with Mia Wasikowska (as Jane) and Michael Fassbender (as Rochester)––tells many stories. On one level it’s a timeless romance; on another it’s a creepy gothic chiller. But one facet... that’s often overlooked is how it tells a tale about child in a foreign hostile hood. It draws us to feel compassion for a young orphan girl betrayed by her family, tormented at her school, and left to her own devices to make her way in the world. For Cary Fukunaga, the subject of children struggling in the world connects Charlotte Brontë’s 19th century novel to his own 21st century tale of Latin American immigration in his first feature Sin Nombre. Since our world has millions of war orphans and more recent disastor orphans in Japan ~
Jane Eyre gives us a model of HOPE.
