What is it about?
The novel’s plot takes place in the Yorkshire region and follows the involvement of two families, the Earnshaw and the Lintonfrom the perspective of Mr. Lockwood, Thrushcross Grange Property tenant. Upon hearing the narrative of Nelly Dean, housekeeper of the Earnshaw family, he discovers the troubled story of love between Heathcliffan orphan adopted, and Catherine Earnshaw.
The reason for the controversy
The main reason for the revolt was the tone of the video: full of erotic, seductive and spicy scenes, something that does not exist in the original book. The classic novel, published in 1847, portrays an intense, violent and abusive relationship, marked by obsession and tragedy, not by sensual eroticism shown in the preview.
The criticism, however, did not start now. Since the lineup of Elderi Like Heathcliff, many questioned the choice. In the book, the character is described as an orphan of Gypsy origin, marked by prejudice and social exclusion – characteristics that are not reflected in the profile of the Australian actor. Another point raised was the characterization of Margot Robbie Like Catherine Earnshaw: blonde and glamorous, far from the original description of the character, who is not blonde.
Soundtrack with Charlie XCX songs
The trailer features the protagonist couple packed by the sound of “Everything is romantic” Bratfrom Charli XCX. The singer, who shared the preview in her networks, confirmed that the feature will also feature unpublished songs composed especially for production. “New original songs for The Horro dos Ventos Uivant by Emerald Fennell”She wrote, still wishing a“Happy Valentine’s Day early”.
