Day 15
Day 15. Favorite love confession from the films.
I narrowed it down to two choices, and I'm going to share them both (because I can, damn it!), but I think this one has to be my top pick:
This is the proposal scene from "Emma" 1996, and you have to admit, it's absolutely lovely. The music, the scenery, the Jeremy Northam...it's all good. :) Seriously, I think Northam knocks it out of the park with this speech. I'll admit that the line "Maybe it is our imperfections that make us so perfect for one another" makes me roll my eyes a little, but overall the scene is well scripted and beautifully acted. It's sweet, satisfying, and wonderfully romantic.
However, I also have to give mad props to this scene:
This is from P&P 2005, more familiarly known as "the Keira Knightley version." I wasn't a huge fan of the adaptation overall, but I think Matthew MacFadyen is excellent in this scene. Every little inflection and facial movement is done so well -- you can really feel his anger, disappointment, and love coming through. I also like the fact that he starts by listing all the objections to the match, and then suddenly blurts out "I love you!" I also really like near the end of the scene, where it appears that they might kiss any second, but instead Mr. Darcy makes the sarcastic comment and leaves. Such a great way to end the scene! :)
