Why the movie fails the text

So, I thought about mentioning this yesterday, but I don't have any backing. It's more of a gut feeling I got when I watched the movie. I don't think that the movie WSS stays true to the text. Not in the sense that the movie had to cut sections of the book, but that the strong sense of feminism is lacking. In the book, and you may disagree with me here, I felt the critical rewrite had a strong focus on the strength of Antoinette. In fact, her independence and departure from the English norm (subservience) was I felt what drove Rochester to the lengths he went to. In the book it seems more her decision to relent and marry him, whereas the movie makes it more of her succumbing to his pleas. I feel like the movie also strays from the story of Rochester making poor decisions and driving Antoinette mad. It seems to me like the movie makes all kinds of excuses for him, so that it seems like she is overreacting. Not too sure about any of this, it's just my opinion, but to me, the movie was a step backward, moving more toward Jane Eyre's side of the story than The Wide Sargasso Sea's.
