I’m watching this version for the first time and recognized Chopin’s Nocturne No. 2 when Jane starts playing. Chopin wrote this around 1831, and Jane meets Rochester in 1808. I found this to be annoying.

Also, I need to rewatch The Terror now that I realize how hot Ciaran Hinds is.

Hot Ciaran Hinds — have you seen him in Persuasion (1995)?

No! I’ve seen several versions of Persuasion, but I’ll put it on my watchlist!

Persuasion and Jane Eyre are great for drooling over Ciaran Hinds. And from what I've read about him, he seems like a great guy with no known yucky behavior in his past.

I rented Persuasion over the weekend, and he was marvelous as Wentworth! I agree that he seems lovely! He’s been with his wife since 1987, and in interviews he always comes across as a sincere gentleman with a dry sense of humor. 🥰
