One of my favourite things about this scene is the way it recolours his argument with Maureen earlier over her homophobia, when he tells her "If you think this is what my brother would have wanted, you're wrong." Just subtly raising the possibility that maybe before he died Cliff told his brother he was gay, that Cliff knows his brother accepted him.
this scene is what made me break down. Watching a man who's been afraid for over 20 years, likely much much longer, finally let his friend know the truth about him. He isn't afraid anymore. It's so touching. I know that feeling all too well.
Cliff was such a wonderful character, and in this scene you can see the beginning of being his true self. Up until then he was fairly softly spoken, shy, and often struggles to say what he wants to. After this scene, he is a lot more confident, even speaking on national television at Gay Pride to talk about how brave and charitable LGSM were.
It’s such a simple scene but carries a great emotional weight. Bill Nighy and Imelda Staunton buttering bread somehow makes me cry every time. Fantastic!
The only movie my (Welsh!) dad has ever cried at as far as I know. He's straight and all his friends are, hell as far as I know he's not in frequent contact with anybody who's gay or bi but this film always gets to him and his tory despising emotions, this scene in particular always makes him cry.
@@didsthecat1503 bi is an option, and it is def not straight. What s.b.662 said is tru tho. I just glad there are people who see this movie and feel for the people in it.
This was a lovely scene, It reminded me of when my bestfriend told me he was gay, We were 13 at the time, We were watching a film and he just randomly said “I’m gay” I smiled and said that I knew then we carried on watching our film🥰😂.
I love this movie. I remember when the news reported that miners in the UK had joined the Pride March, and I just assumed Brits were more open-minded than Americans. It was great to find out the back story.
@@myname.1602 i wont deny you the feeling, ive happened upon it myself even as one, but... perhaps treat people as individuals.. and then look in the mirror. you do your self a disservice to hate so many whom youve never met or can never meet -whoever or wherever they are my friend. be better and others shall follow.
@@zyxw2024 i agree on grouping.. most certainly. but we dont get be proud of much nowadays. not the britain i consider great. and we do do understated lonely melancholy with hints of hope and humour quite well on stage and film. i think this film - and youll excuse the redundant reuse- is something to take pride in. it is genuinely good. if you think otherwise.. well, im glad i dont know you.
What a scene. It took me awhile why they were making margarine sandwiches. It's all they can afford to serve in the halls while being on strike. We've all had bread and butter but this was bread and margarine.
I know hearing people say 'I know' is supposed to make you feel good when you come out but when they've known for a long time I can't help feeling a bit angry about it. Why let someone spend years feeling alone? Don't wait twenty years to say something. At least give a hint to let them know they don't have to feel so lonely!

When she says "I could say the same about you Cliff", I took that as a hint that she suspects that he's gay.

I cannot imagine how many people for most of time were gay but terrified about coming out due to family and local communities.
Then finds his gay poetry fans
And to have the security of knowing things won't change between them because she already knew 💕 I bawl every time
You could trust Bill and Imelda to deliver this scene as wonderful as they did.
The most wonderful thing in this scene is the silence.. literally speaking volumes
"I know . . ."
Clint went through the whole range of emotions with that one phrase.

Me too.
Two magnificient actors.
This scene moved me more than I can describe with words.

Are you SURE your dad is straight?
@@catherineball5071 If their father had children, it’s incredibly likely…
@@catherineball5071 i mean you don't have to be gay to feel empathy towards gay people. It's an incredible emotional scene

Happy, sad, fearful, angry, despising Tories. The five major emotions 😌
I love this scene, the whole quiteness and subtle acting of it is fantastic.
This was a lovely scene,
It reminded me of when my bestfriend told me he was gay,
We were 13 at the time,
We were watching a film and he just randomly said “I’m gay”
I smiled and said that I knew then we carried on watching our film🥰😂.
I feel like she should have said in response to his coming out "I know. That's why you can't cut straight"😅 😂
🤣
Watching them spread and cut triangular sandwiches is so wholesome
@@zyxw2024 when you're desperately poor, and need to stretch money as far as possible, two slices of bread with anything between them is a sandwich.
@@zyxw2024 When you're poor and have no money, yes it is.
@@zyxw2024 Except it is

brings tears to my eyes watching this.
it does
What a cute scene
I don't often feel this, but this scene makes me proud to be British. Nobody does understated emotion like we do.
That ain't anything to be proud of, Joe. And don't group a nation's people/population. .
I hate British people

'Hinting' sounds like such a ghastly idea. Creepy!
am yet to get through this scene without crying
Yes.
great scene, but is she just making butter sandwiches?
yes.
this was during the miners strike time. money, food etc were rare. so they tried to feed as many as possible with the little they had
Probably butter and sugar sandwiches
@@ErinBudgets I remember my Dad eating butter and sugar sandwiches.
It's margarine. Butter is expensive. They were striking. Little money/resources.
how to know someone isnt working class..
Sorry are those just butter (or margarine) sandwiches?
nice

que brillante escena de la flema inglesa.
