Huge error in new Wuthering Heights movie adaptation that most people missed

There's a lot of things in the recent Wuthering Heights adaptation that's rubbed people up the wrong way as it's been getting some pretty mixed reviews for what it did to Emily Bronte's famous novel.

It's got Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi passionately pawing at each other in Yorkshire, though LADbible Towers resident Letterboxd fanatic thinks Elordi's attempt at a Yorkshire accent wouldn't pass muster in God's own country.

As for this other error, at one point in the Wuthering Heights movie Isabella (Alison Oliver) is talking to Cathy (Margot Robbie) about getting dresses from fine European countries, including Belgium.

Not to besmirch the Belgians, but at the time Wuthering Heights was set in the late 18th Century it wasn't a country.

Belgium didn't declare itself independent from the Netherlands until 1830, well after the events of Wuthering Heights, which is a handy thing to know for a pub quiz.

Sorry Isabella, Belgium doesn't exist yet but your kids gonna love it, or he would if he also didn't die years before Belgium became a thing (Warner Brothers)

The area that would become Belgium was sometimes referred to as such before it became a country in its own right, since the name originates from a Celtic tribe the Romans called the Belgæ, but it might have been a bit of an oversight on the part of the writers.

Depending on one's tastes it's perhaps not the most egregious thing about Wuthering Heights as an adaptation, especially considering the movie misses out on a large chunk of the book as the story continues on for quite some time after Cathy dies and Heathcliff goes to visit her body.

The book just keeps going as Heathcliff starts ruining everyone's lives until he gets miserable, sick and finally dead some years after Cathy, but not before making their kids get married and then having his son die.

Other controversial changes from the original text include Heathcliff keeping Isabella, who he has the aforementioned son with, chained up like a dog where she ends up playing a role akin to a BDSM sub.

That was certainly a choice to change things in such a way, as in the book Heathcliff hangs his wife's dog.

Other choices in the movie's production include making walls from scans of Margot Robbie's skin, as moles and veins were visible on there and it turns out they got the inspiration right from the body of their leading star.

Some viewers ended up criticising the film as 'disrespectful', and not just for forgetting the when the Belgian Revolution occurred, as the movie made major changes to the work it was adapting and missing out on the second half of the story drew a lot of criticism.

The movie's director Emerald Fennell certainly had a vision for what she wanted to achieve, which is why she put the film's title in quotation marks as she called the book 'dense and complicated and difficult' so instead was making 'a version' of it.
