Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre is a classic example of a woman’s suppressed anger against the confines of her life. Jane’s restlessness, her agitation lead her to think: “...restlessness was in my nature; it agitated me to pain sometimes.” Naturally, Charlotte Brontë was very critical of Jane Austen. Pride and Prejudice, she said, is “a carefully-fenced, highly cultivated garden”. “The Passions are perfectly unknown to her”, she said about Jane Austen at another time. In other words, no restlessness, no agitation in Jane Austen’s novels.
He Spoke With Authority draws on Jane Eyre, The Great Gatsby, Good Will Hunting and Gran Torino.
4. Wuthering HeightsIn this epic story of love, envy, betrayal and revenge, Heathcliff and Catherine come together in a romance that destroys them and those around them. Set in the lonely and bleak Yorkshire moors, this classic tale of thwarted passion begins when the new tenant of Thrushcross Grange, a Mr Lockwood, is forced to seek shelter for a night at Wuthering Heights. As the night passes, Lockwood learns of the tumultuous past of Wuthering Heights and of those connected with it.5. Jane EyreCharlotte Bronte's impassioned novel is the love story of Jane Eyre, a plain yet spirited governess and her arrogant, brooding Mr. Rochester. Published in 1847, the book heralded a new kind of heroine--one whose virtuous integrity, keen intellect and tireless perseverance broke through class barriers to win equal stature with the man she loved.

Both Jackie and Spencer toe the line between high art and camp, absurdism and intimacy, melodrama and horror, with the latter owing a considerable debt to Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights and John Cassavetes’ A Woman Under the Influence, a film that Larraín and Stewart discussed a lot during the course of shooting.
