This movie is adopted by the book which has the same name—Wuthering Height. At the beginning of entering university, I had read the book. To begin with, I just considered it as a assignment that a English major student must finish. However, when I was finishing the book, I unexpectedly was unwilling to come to the end. I was deeply caught into the whirlpool of love and hatred between Heathcliff and cathy, meanwhile I also felt a bit confused about their love and hatred. I became unable to understand what is love on earth. Later, I watched 2009 version of the movie and appreciated the story again. I seemed to understand something.The story begun with a mistake that made by Lockwood, a temporary resident. He is seeking shelter from the blizzard and he staggers through the door of Wuthering Heights, finding the atmosphere inside is just as cold as ice. The master of the house, Heathcliff, provides a bed reluctantly and it seems like that he feels ill at ease with his visitor’s coming. Theres a sad tale behind his indifference, one which the elderly housekeeper Nelly Dean is happy to share. Forty years ago, Wuthering Heights was filled with light, warmth and happiness. Mr.Earnshaw, a congenial gentleman farmer, lives happily with his boisterous children Cathy and Hindley. However, being a kind and generous fellow, he cant help rescuing a poor starving wretch off of the streets of Liverpool, a gypsy child named Heathcliff. In time Heathcliff becomes one of the family, loved by all people except Hindley，the son of Mr.Earnshaw . Cathy is an especially good childhood friend, spending many a happy day playing on the moor with Heath Cliff. Unfortunately Mr.Earnshaw dies suddenly; Hindley is able to express his enmity with damning cruelty. In order to air his grievance, he reduced Heath Cliff to a servant.Later, Catherine is forced to marry Edgar. Heath Cliff’s heart is broken, so he leaves Wuthering Heights. After three years, he comes back to Wuthering Heights with wealth.
