This was the most recent reconstruction of it and personally I think the attire and make up are fabulous but not completely how I imagined her to look like, you can tell this is the more modern equivalent out the films just by looking at her wedding dress. I watched this film and felt her attitude was too stern for this character and not quite eerie enough in the way that Dicken's described her as. Creating many of these hair styles seen would be to simply use the frizzing technique alongside backcombing and curling.
2011 (BBC Series)

Out of all the films I have watched of this book this series had to be my favorite, I also think they portrayed Miss Havishm's mental state really well, not too bold but also very vacant in regards to her mental state. Physically I also like this one a lot more, the previous, more modern one seemed unnatural when looking at the circumstances. Whereas this one her hair is still (although a mess) put up like the way she had it for her wedding and her dress more suitable for the time she was getting married and her personality.
1998

This was one of the weirdest interpretations of her - even the film was odd. It was sort of based on the book but they tried to make it a more modern contemporary version which personally, I think spoiled it. It was american to start off with which was odd because the main concept of this story line was 19th century Britain and becoming a gentleman. I can sort of see their relevance and idea behind Miss Havisham - shes mad and extravagant but lacks the idea of her being in a mess, mentally and physically. Shes too made up and proper.
1946

Although there are many versions of this film I just looked at a few that were a lot different but also quite similar to each other. I watched a section of this film and felt it was the one that mostly related to the book, similarly to the 2011 series they portrayed her in the way that I imagined her to look. Her hair still the same, but a mess, from the wedding, and her dress suitable for the time period but again, also a mess. The only thing that I would criticize (which the 2012 did) would be the make up - I would imagine her slightly more pale and and everything sunken in a bit more.
