It's cool. About 90% of the dialogue is taken straight from the source (the novel). A faithful adaptation!
Screenplay by the author, so that helps :)
Fist time hearing about it. Could do with something new to read.
i was thinking the same thing just about now
writing is spectacular!
Didn’t know that! So cool, that’s my favorite, that’s how gone girl was for me since Flynn wrote her screenplay for the movie as well
I love this scene - it made me cry even though it wasn't overtly emotional. It captures so beautifully the pain when you encounter a past love, someone who broke your heart, and you have to sit there pretending like everything is okay, making small talk, when deep down all you want to do is talk about the way things were. It's a combination of heartache but also happiness to see that person again. Daisy and Paul captured this so well.
truly an underrated comment
Beautifully articulated.
oh wow. this hurts.
Your comment took me by surprise as it's redolent of something most people will have experienced but struggle to express. I met a past love (it was transient and intense) while she was briefly visiting my home town. It was unexpected for both of us. We hadn't spoken for years after she broke it off. I had been angry, as I felt she messed me around, she sent me an equally angry response and we went about separate lives.
Neither of us married or had kids but I found a new relationship that has been wonderful, more than I could have ever hoped for.
A decade later she sends me a text message asking "how I am?" Apologising for her mail. I responded that neither of us behaved well and we are better than the people who sent those emails. She agreed and then friended me on FB. I'm in a new relationship and that was obvious to her. After some initial relief I didn't think much of the exchange. Nothing happened until we met coincidentally one Saturday morning.
She approached me, clearly upset. I remember smiling and instinctively opened my arms for a hug. She embraced me, near whispered "I'm sorry" and gently kissed me on the lips. It was fleeting without any need to reciprocate. She then said "I have to go.. But I'm staying at... " and hurried off.
I pondered what had happened and imagined closure, whatever that meant, would be impossible or illusory. I haven't met her since. The present and future have more than enough to occupy me besides dwelling on past hypotheticals. We both knew in a few moments that affection remained, or that's how I remember it.
I haven't thought about that morning for years, until I read your comment. I suspect that a spark remains for many people for their past loves but it's distant light reaching us from a star that burned out when the romance ended. Star gazing can be diverting but we are earth-bound creatures and we need to put most of our attentions on the ground in front of us to avoid tripping up. The older I get the more comfortable I am with the realisation of those hypotheticals being left in the past or occasional wry smiles at the heavens.
@@sdemosi so you're the one who always got that one A at essays. The path behind you might guide you the way forward, but if you don't pay attention to what's in front of you, you will slip and lose your way.
C, wenn I do that it's sounds like I'm an NPC lmao
Finished this series a month ago. Still think about it often. This show, if you let it, leaves an indelible mark that you can't really shake.
If ur shy like me don't watch this show I regret it it's too much for me
THIS COMMENT RIGHT HERE. It has left such a huge impact on me i'll be standing there minding my own and randomly think about connell and marrianes chemistry. IMPECCABLE series
Gary Hutton i feel that. This show can put you in a state of mind that leaves you twisted in your thoughts. Good and bad thing
Brings so much for me re my life and relationships.
@@garyhutton2654 Same I identify with Connell so much, he does make me feel better about my social anxiety though!
the delivery of "it's not" is just magical
Yeah, how dafuq did she not get an Emmy nom?
@@Roman888 I'm still furious! She absolutely deserves an Emmy nomination!
her eyes
The background chattering got quite so she can deliver it perfectly
Could you please explain what she means by that statement?
One of the best scenes of the series. The chemistry is electric - her eyes, her voice when she says “it’s not” and “what’s not to like about you?” So good.
"“what’s not to like about you?” " worth an Oscar
@@vinkiUfa lol
@@vinkiUfa Stella Adler would be proud. "You're not acting the words, the words are only there as colours for you to paint your soul!"
I love how in the beginning she's trying to act "cool" on the outside. However, as the conversation progresses she begins to open up and expose her true emotions.
Subtle but really well done, what a show.
I LOVED how Marianne blossomed in college and how Connell struggled a bit but finds his footing later and remembers it as a perfect time in his life. I related to this so much and it was just one of the many reasons I truly loved this series and why it has stayed with me.
especially because it was Connell who was popular in high school and Marianne was not. Roles reversed a bit but will say Marianne helped him more in college and highschool that he did her.
"What's not to like about you?" I die every time.
The part when Marianne called Connell in the middle of the night and told him “I miss having you in my life.” I cried.
“What’s not to like about you” is such a warm/comforting thing to hear
One of the most underrated scenes was afterwards when Theresa asks Marianne for Connell's number and she says "what's not to like about him"... I still can't shake this book it's so bloody good.
which other books would u recommend?
@@joelgarza1514 call me by your name, is intense bloody hell
Her Irish accent is ridiculously good
Agree and im irish and near died when i heard her english accent 😂 i assumed she was irish so great to hear someone do it this way, without completly overdoing it and sounding like their singing. Annoys me everytime 😂
Yeah it's unreal in fairness to her. I'd have never of guessed she wasn't from here.
Her mom is Irish.
Tobesure tobesure ..
Why I love normal people so much is because I literally lived this, and it's so relatable; The awkward conversations the fights, the breakdowns. It's just so good to find someone that's encapsulated all of this soo damn well.
Lol tell me about it - this series EXACTLY depicts my last relationship…right down to the fact that the two of us are both from the the same town in the west of Ireland, both of us going to college in Dublin, falling in love in college and serious miscommunication throughout our relationship haha
@@dany.zhaldrizeBut tell us if you ended up together! Lol
@@flyonthewall1081right I’m looking forward to the rest of the story
I'm glad that they don't try to act like Marianne wasn't attractive during her school days, as she was always pretty, which Connell even acknowledges. She just puts more of an effort into her appearance while at college, like many people who find their "calling" in college. 🎓😊💗
My calling during college was to put no effort into my appearance
It's hard to put alot of effort into your appearance when you're still at school especially when you have to wear a uniform, follow strict rules and not allowed to wear makeup and jewellery.
But in the original book she wasn't attractive throughout. And connell's type was unconventional looking girls I kinda wish they went with the same thing in the adaptation but then again daisy did an amazing job with her acting
@@kimjiwonie3621 The dialogue is straight from the book. Marianne was not liked at school because she was “weird” and in one case author even says that Marianne has lots of man wrapping around her fingers in college because she is very attractive… But guess Rachel was and is more stereotypically pretty both in the book and series
@@anitsiklauri7471 I've read the book and in it only Rooney describes her physical in great detail. Hollow cheeks, round and undefined jawline, crooked teeth basically a very 'normal' face. Her unkept style made her weirder in school. Connell even feels shame finding her attractive and then goes on to explore how his type is so. And the reason she gets popular in college is not because she's attractive physically but because she's super smart, popular and started putting effort in dressing herself.
Many times Marianne subtly (or maybe not so subtly) checks Connell out with her eyes. She conveys that hunger, that lust in her eyes. Connell has such a sweet persona, someone who isn't that sure of himself yet who is undeniably sweet and kind.
that's what lust looks like from a woman?
@@perzonne6302 please dont call yourself out like this
@@perzonne6302 girls show there emotions in there yes. Men do it in actions.
That’s so interesting to me because really - Connell was very cruel to Marianne. I don’t think of him as sweet and kind.
@@user-ui6cp5ns7z same. didnt get through this show because the little i saw of him, he came across as a dick. even this scene- the way he dismisses her and says "yeah well i felt abandoned too" as if he wasnt dating some other girl... and then saying it wasn't even serious🙄
My body, literally cannot handle the chemistry between these two!! What a show!!! Omg!!! I am not able!!! *finds a corner to lay down and cry in*
I binge watched this three days ago and can't get it out of my head. I felt like a voyeur. The acting was so good that I completely entered their world. Devastatingly brilliant. And my God, Daisy has a supernatural talent for revealing a character's mind just in her eyes.
Now I'm reading the book and watching it again. With some care. I don't want to let the characters go. The last time I felt like this was when I read "Brideshead Revisited" about forty years ago.
Absolutely superb and very moving. And it's unhinged me in ways I can't really articulate yet.
Interesting. I am 60 & I am sure well outside the target demographic for this show but I, too, loved it & was deeply affected by it.
It's kinda hilarious and ironic for me. In my head i used to think about some weird fanfic with a story similarly like this and yet there's actually a series that really capture about 95% of the story that i kept thinking in my head lol. Oh my goodness, god bless everyone who worked on this show
You summed exactly how I’m feeling. I read the book in a day, then binged the show (which I liked better than the book because I think the acting was amazing). I couldn’t let them go, I watched it again. Now I’m watching clips. It really sticks with you. Their performances were some of the best I’ve seen.
"I have those now". Amazing acting by her..
One of the best series I have ever loved I watched it and still thinking about it I have the soundtrack on repeat.
I agree, I adore this show, and its soundtrack was superbly chosen! 💯🎶
Can you give me the name of the soundtrack?
marium mou on Spotify its called “Normal People Hulu Soundtrack”
Agreed 1000%
you've not watched much then.
This show made me realise as a 30 year old woman that I need to be more vulnerable and intimate. Even the sex scenes were so beautiful because it showed how their connection climaxed into this special thing. I have no idea where I was when I was 17 or 22, but I wasn't there with an open heart as these two characters. That is for sure. This show means a lot to me. It showed me what I've been missing all along and I am grateful for that.
I felt exactly the same. It made me cry thinking about how defensive and guarded I was in those scenarios at that age, and even now in my 30’s I seriously struggle with that level of vulnerability. Maybe it’s just about meeting someone who makes you feel truly seen though, which I suspect is sheer luck.
@@pickleandmayo Thank you for sharing. I think you’re right. Having the right person to explore this level of intimacy with is another piece of the puzzle and I’m sure it works healing on parts of us that we’re not able to access by ourselves. I think I’ve always either sabotaged such relationships because in a way, deep down, I unconsciously felt unworthy of being loved, or I never gave them a chance to getting close to me. This show really inspires me to open up more. I wish you all the love and healing in the world 🤍
@@Yourhighnessnona oh wow I'm so grateful you both commented. I feel the same way in my 30s, but so do quite a few of my friends! I didn't get the chance to let my guard down at that age too for other reasons, and it's something I've often mourned as I got older. I finally had someone fall in love with me back at 25 & for sure the whole thing was a distaster, but it's so intoxicating to fall in love with someone. Here's hoping we can learn how to let our guards down with the right people, as everyone deserves a little romance when they're open to it :)
This scene is the best in the series (and it's full of great scenes). When she says, "It's not", that really sums it up. So much said in such few words. My favorite scene by far.
Even if there will never be a second season of Normal People, I hope Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal will work on another project together in the future.
when i watch this show i feel like im intruding in their private moment, ESPECIALLY during their intimate scenes. its almost like im watching them behind a closet or smth lol
@@Neytiristree That means they did their job well.
I think I read it somewhere that the showrunners meant it that way
Yeah I feels like I’m sneaking on them too. I don’t know how they do that but also the natural way they talk to each other makes it that way too
A brilliant scene within a brilliant drama in which both the characters are simply amazing. The real chemistry between the two lead actors makes the series so incredibly moving.
I’ve just finished this all 12 episodes in a day. I’ve never really considered movies or shows works of art but this was a work of art, the mood, the tone, the characters, dialogue etc. I never want to stop knowing about Marianne and Connell; how they end, I need this story until their old age. This kind of brilliance and beauty in tv only comes once in a while and I’m literally going to recommend this show to everyone I know. Everything about this show was comforting and I can’t wait to read the book. I’m so glad bbc i player had this on because what a gem this show was.
I agree with every word! I hope they end up together.
I also binge watched it in a day 😭 it was so good.
She is absolutely beautiful
This scene, like everything in this series are absolute perfection. Now we can look forward to a lot of series trying to copy this one!😀
I’m addicted! Binge watched it twice!
Her accent is pretty much flawless.
yup, even brilliant when you realise she is actually english and she's putting that on
"Whats not to like about you" that delivery was just brilliant on every level!
The way the background noise is faded slowly as they talk is a touch of genius!
"It's not." kills me every time.
the moment when Connell first saw Marianne again was just such an iconic scene,,
one of the things I love most about this scene is the "hmm" call and response and reaffirmation interwoven through their conversation. really captures how deeply interwined they are
Will always be one of the best series I’ve ever watched. Their chemistry is unmatched.
The end when he responds about what’s not to like about him by saying, “I don’t know” - it’s like he’s asking her to answer, “why did you throw me away?” The Painnnnn
He left her!
@@azaadi8 He abandoned her (he doesn't think this) then she ghosted him after said abandonment lol
The "I don't know" comment is a common response when us Irish people are caught on the hop/panic. It means that I don't know what to say, not an answer to her question.
the pacing of these scenes and the whole show, in general, is so true to the book and just really captures the feeling you get from their interactions
IT"S JUST TOO INTENSE MAN, I'M IN BITS!
grow-up soy-boy
tell me about it
I'm amazed by how the most generic boy-meets-girl-etc plot can be made compelling with great acting and cinematography.
The show would have been a lot shorter if only
1. Connell had asked Marianne to the Debs
2. Connell had asked her if he could move in after he lost his job
3. Either one had been honest about their feelings for each other at the same time
but that's life though 🤷♀️
That third one seems like easiest but at the same time hardest.
Yes
She was. But he was never brave enough
First scene I ever see of this show. Just randomly suggested by TH-cam.
And yet, I feel like I know everything about these two, their past, their possible futures... so gripping.
Awesome scene, great acting, incredible writing.
There are whole scenes I can quote from memory; there's something naturalistic and refreshing in how Sally Rooney writes dialogue.
I am so late to this and only watching now. What is profound is the dialogue and the space and intermittent silence given to it. The accent is a given but the intonation, wow! Just superb writing, directing but the two leads and his Ma ( Sarah Greene) just another level. Mind blown 👏🏾
Geez, such great actors. I always thought that Paul Mescal with his sudden physical nuances was amazing but after rewatching this scene I realized how amazing is Daisy as well. In the way she anticipates in the dialogue and how - with her voice tones changes - unselfishly assists Paul in his delivery is amazing.
Looking forward to see them again soon in another project.
One of the best scenes in the show. It just feels so... intimate and real. Also, it introduced me to dogwood blossom, which became one of my favorite songs.
Very powerful and sweet question to Connell @3:11 "What's not to like about you?"
I love this particular scene. So so intense and so warm at the same time.
The entire show is just beautiful. I finished the series a month ago but I have not stopped thinking about it. It is so powerful and emotional.
The last 'I don't know' is very powerful. I relate to it a lot, the really not knowing why.
Incredible show. So well captures love and human communication, and the lack of it. Wonder how better peoples lives would be if we were taught how to communicate early on in life. Once you know, it’s late in life. Love is about chemistry, but long love is about communication.
I think it's the only series I watched a second time immediatly after finishing it.
In the book, when she said 'What's nothing to like about you.' he blushed knowing she still finds him attractive. He was happy.
I love both of them and this show so much🥹❤️ there is so much heart and honesty in their acting & their chemistry is out of this world.
Finished it today. It's amazing feeling relatable to both character at different times 🥺
Doesn't matter How many times you watch this shows, you watch again And again because still still feels like something is missing..
So much chemistry with just a few short dialogues… 🥰 🔥
I honestly can't believe how honest Paul Mescal seems even when he's "acting". How does he do that?
Such a powerful scene. Loved researching them when making my video on Marianne and Connell's love story ❤
Love him getting taste of his own medicine
I will be forever in love with these two.
They have the perfect chemistry and they are in love but it's better if they just don't see each other. They have a very complicated and painful relationship
I wasn't in love with this series during my first watch of it in 2020, but I think I might re-visit it someday just to feel the emotions all over again.
One of my favourite scenes
Me and my mom watched this show together. We loved it❤️💖
I love mariane when she say sory..that s cute
crowd noise slowly getting quieter is really nice
Absolutely loved the book and i just started watching the show and I can't get enough of it either.
Electric. I would love to be loved like Connell.
"It's not" how to gut a dude with a simple declarative statement - well played Marianne - win the battle and lose the war
this scene hits different when you have a complicated (& miscommunicated) situationship and you run into each other a while later at a function and theres so much you want to talk about but youre incapable of actually going there and its awkward and achy but also you feel so safe to be talking to them again
yes im projecting
The series has maaany scenes I love, I mean how it could be so perfect, I wonder If it is sth I don't like. Here of course I love chemistry which I think it is not playing because it's not even possible so realistic. The way Marianne say "sorry' that Connel break up with Rachel or saying Connel is telepathic and then ' in bed you mean'. And of course "it's not" with her face and pain and sorrow. And what I absolutely love about these scene is when Marianne says " I know, it's classic me, came to college and pretty' omg her face and everythinggg, and she's tryin to be funny with this conversation but in fact there are so many feelings in, an excitement, relief, joy, pain, sorrow. And the way he feels insecure right now in college, and she's is confident. I might think that when she said "probably why I am good in it' she seems malignant for what he treated her in school. When Connell sayin he's not in type of girls he dont even know with the feeling he just want to be in Marianne's type, and of course when Marianne says "What's not to like about you?" with the meaning she loves him and she misses him with so much pain. WOW
Agree with everything. Every word in this dialogue has 2-3 hidden meanings, and the emotions behind are just... Ughhh
Loved this show sooo much. Miss it.
Absolutely love what the costume designers did for Marianne's transformation in this scene. Her whole look embodies Marianne Faithful - a famous model, singer, and Mick Jagger's girlfriend for some time. I suppose it highlights how Marianne has crafted herself a new personality and has become celebrity-like within her university.
This show delivered an entire seperate genre of aesthetism
"Whats not to like about u".it was the killer line of all.He never saw his value to her.Heartbreaking.
One of the best scenes!
when she says 'its not' i diedddddddddddd
I absolutely loved the show and the book
There are no normal people, love will make you special. I am seeing you just because of you.
I’m obsessed with this series! I’ve even created a group on Facebook to discuss it.
Could I please join it?
I have watched this a billion times
I love that Caribou „You and I” is played in the background ❤️
Are you German?
@@timbuktu777 nope, why?
@@Dyzlegdyg the way you placed your quotation marks had me wondering.
@@timbuktu777 I’m Polish :D
I just found this show tonight and it should’ve came with a warning label.
I just finished the book and I can’t stop crying 😕
Frank Ocean was perfect for this episode
This is so heartbreaking 😢
the way he looks at her in this scene..paul mescal is mesmerizing
Love it!
This show was so well acted.
she is stunning
wow this scene is so much better in the book
Awww Connell. in love.
what a classic
"You disappeared." Damn.
Daisy is amazing at that scene
A little teaser i read this week (“As Sally [Rooney, writer] says, the book stops where it stops because it feels right,” he said. “But, I have a sneaking thing in the back of my head that if everybody was willing, and if the stars aligned, I’d love to revisit them in five years and find out what happened, where they are.”) so all you NP Lovers inc me keep a eye on BBC and we might be rewarded with NP 2
God the ending of the series crushed me, but also make me angry, but not angry.....Wish there were a year two, dammit...
We need a alternative version where he asks her to the Debs
Omg it’s so like in the book
That Caribou in the back 👌🏾
Her eyes, damn, her eyes!!!
Their lives switch a bit and how Marianne use the same answer as Conell in some dialog
