There is absolutely nothing worse in the universe than unrequited love. The worst of all tragedies, because unlike other terrible things in life, it empties the soul - and to move on you realise you can never be your old self.
Its also the most beautiful personal feeling in the world, once you accept your faith and don't seek anything else in return. You know in your heart despite everything that couldn't be yours, your feeling of love for that someone will always be yours, nobody can take it from you. It brings a range of emotions within, makes you calm, mature and patient, it makes you an artist, a poet and a lover.
She was 18 when this was released. 17 when it filmed. And she played a married woman. She does have a sophisticated look that could pass for 23 here which is probably closer to the age she was playing
@@writerman242 I was shocked at her age here and pirates of the Caribbean, both 18 at release so maybe 17 at filming. She really became a global star almost immediately.

Seems like he was the respectful one, after all. As for boundaries, she is the one who barged in and started rummaging through his things. Obsession is a psychological phenomenon that spans our lives from early childhood to infirmity and has nothing to do with maturity.
when you're shy/introverted and in love - I dunno Lincolns acting is SO good, not looking her in the eye, the tension in his body, the redness, the breathlessness, you can tell his heart is probably beating a mile a minute, he's so embarrassed - and then when he has to expel all the tension by going for a walk (side note: yeah as a rational adult he should have worked through his obsession/infatuation in a healthy way to get over her, but unfortunately he indulged it lol)
It's not love. It's infatuation. You can't be in love with someone you're not in a relationship with. It's something I wish I knew when I was younger. I would have saved a lot of time and suffering.

@@JohnGrahamDoe Okay, John Boy, thanks for teaching me about love.....sounds a little boring, though. I think the crazy attraction we feel is sometimes worth celebrating. Because we are human and the love we sometimes feel is not enduring, but the memory of it sure can be.
@@JohnGrahamDoe The thing is people don't really go deep when looking at this stuff. They really do take it at surface level. This is how we are as a society. Most romance movies describe very toxic relationships to begin with. Probably it is one of the reasons in a lot of relationships people have unrealistic expectations of their partner.
This scene always gives me goosebumps. It's so unimaginably terrible when you're unhappily in love with someone. I'm feeling the same way as the guy in the movie right now. And it hurts so much...
I had this happen when I was 19 or so, I got a serious crush on a girl who was 17 and told myself it was inappropriate, I wasn't established enough, etc... then I learned she was already dating a 24 year old law student. I tried to ignore my feelings, but I would compare every other girl I met to her, which was super toxic. I thought, if they can't make me feel the same, it's not worth it. Funny enough, I never did feel it again, probably because I wasn't an anxiety-ridden teenager anymore. 15+ years later and I still haven't had a girlfriend. I rarely leave the house either, so my chances aren't looking good. I don't even know where I would go to meet people. That's probably why I watch so many romance movies lately.
@@carterblunt4192Dear Carter, that sounds very sad. What happens to me is that there is a man who is in love with me. However, all I can think about is this unattainable man. I know this is stupid to the max, but I can't stop my feelings. Apparently you feel the same way about that girl from your teenage years. You've inflated her and now no one else can keep up. We're both obviously at an impasse. Now it's time to get out of there. I have to forget about this unattainable man and you have to socialize. This is the only way you can meet a woman who touches your heart. I wish you good luck with it! Dare, sometimes you yourself are part of a romantic film. It's happened to me and it will happen to you too. However, you have to leave the house to experience it...
He is not in love with her. He is obsessed with the idea of her. He hardly knows her. This is not love. This is infatuation and a 30 year old man should not have stuff like this at his age. It is so childish and honestly quite creepy.
I always find something new rewatching this movie. When she says his name, then says I know you are his friend, if you look very closely, you can see his whole face and body look hopeful that she will say she has feelings back then when she goes I know you have never warmed to me he suddenly deflates and realises its not what he wanted to hear. I've never looked so closely, but that's so sad. :( The whole movie is perfectly done. It is one of my top 5 movies I could watch over and over.
you can hear his heart brake into million pieces while still wishing the best of her，and that is what love should be like，you move forward，do the best for the one you love or loved，not for your own want
"But you never talk to me. You always talk to Peter. You don't like me." I don't think the feelings are unrequited at all. It's just bad timing. You can almost hear a hint of hurt in her voice that shows that she also in fact has romantic feelings for him too. Almost as if she's saying "well maybe it could have been you but you never even bothered to get to know me".
I'm sorry but this is such a girly thing to say, there was probably a convo between the blokes when they first saw her an the other guy said "wow look at her, I'm going to talk to her" From that second loyalty dictates there's no way back , I have loved a girl who met my best friend before me, I know she loved me too, didn't change a thing 😔
Also just want to add the effort she puts in to try to get him to connect to her... A further indication of feelings that expand the realms of friendliness.
@Baby Empress Tarot 😩 I feel bad like I'm picking on u, I'm not I promise , but we know all this , we just put it out of our minds an don't think about it. We will never talk about it to her or our friend , its as he says in the movie its a self preservation thing
@@BipoIarbear yup, but i can say you that its also a very nice memory of your life. looking back to all of those things you felt and how you adored another person in pure way. ^^ Was it first time you felt like that for someone ?
I'm not gonna claim to be some "Manly Man" or anything, but Rom Coms just aren't my thing...except THIS one! This is one of the few I LOVE to watch whenever it's on, and this scene is just, from acting, to camera work, to each line, *perfection*! I heard there was a sequel to this movie, but never confirmed it... (another one I like is Steve Martin's Roxanne)
Is Kiera not one of the most beautiful women you can ever hope to lay eyes on? Let alone speak to. If she was in front of me, I would pass out the moment she spoke, I think! Thank you! Love her in everything!!
If it were me, I would say something incoherent and then completely black out on my feet. My subconscious motor control functions would still be operational, but my conscious mind would only return later and I would only remember her saying hello - the rest would be a blank.
It was my first year in college when i watched this movie in theater. I watched this movie with a girl whom i like so very very much, she's so gorgeous to the point i was really nervous when she's around me, i can't barely eat my lunch when she look at me. The thing is, the first time i was meeting her, i didn't even pay attention on her existence. I started to like her due to at that time a friend of mine borrowed my brand new Nokia phone to test the camera and she started taking pictures of anything, including a picture of the girl whom i later fell in love with. So when i arrived at home, checked the phone and started deleting all the pictures taken, i saw her pictures, and instantly fell in love to her beauty, I couldn't delete her pictures. So, I started asking who she is, and asked my friend to introduce me to her. Long story short, she was already taken, and in a relationship with her boyfriend since high school, so i keep my distance in a friend zone without her knowing my true feelings. At some point when she had a heated argument with her boyfriend because he was being so possessive, she asked me out to a movie. I thought we'll be watching it with another friend of her. Yet when i met her on the theater it just the 2 of us, she choosed this movie. TBH at that moment i didn't even knew what was the title of the movie, or what's the movie was all about due to i was so frickin nervous being left alone with her. I only remember this particular scene and when this man told keira he loved her with his hand writing on the door step. At this particular scene, she held my arms and told me, she feels so comfy and like being with me, she also wondered if we can be more than friends. I was so dumbstruck n didn't know what to answer, so i kept silent and let her held my hand until the end of the movie. I took her eat some lunch at KFC, and told her "I do really want to say 'yes' to all of it, but i am afraid you're confused about your feelings toward me and mistaken it into something else. Take a step back so u can look all of it throughly, I'll be a phone call away if u need me" it was the hardest and bitter KFC i swallowed in my life. Took us 9 years to be together, though we took separate ways eventually, i think it was due to i was at my final year of my post graduate, told her to wait, because if i didn't finished my theses in 6 months the university will be dropping me out but her time is running out. So this movie has the sweetest memories on me. Fate works in a mysterious way, sometimes destiny is entwined but never joined, some life are stranger than fictions.
The entire love triangle between the two best friends and her is, for me, the most emotional and best story in the entire film. His secret adoration for his best friend's wife, the way she realizes it through this absolutely magnificently staged scene and the way he finally confesses his love and affection to her without crossing any boundaries. Absolutely consistent from start to finish, and particularly well acted by Keira Knigthley (just 17 years old at the time!) and Andrew Lincoln.
Everyone is talking about how impressive the acting is, but the shot/reverse shot of the two and the TV is amazing with different intensity of close ups
As a life-long pro photographer since age 15 years (I'm 75 now) I can confirm that taking photos of beautiful girls and women can really mess with one's mind. I've developed probably thousands of crushes that never went anywhere and many were difficult to move past.
This has been an incredibly difficult lesson to learn. With my luck she would have been a narcissist who decided to lead me on and play games with my emotions only so I can be fuel/narcissistic supply.
Idk why but the youtube algorithm kept pushing this on my feed, and after at least 3 weeks, I've finally watched it. This movie must be fantastic. I've never seen it, but the mark of a good movie is that you can feel what's going on in important scenes without much context. I 100% understand what's going on here without ever having seen this movie before and it's fantastic.
Or … her husband is always talking about what a great guy his best friend his and talks about him all the time… and now she finally understands why he was avoiding her?
@@gracekang4035 this and it helps that Andrew's easy on the eyes, it would 100% be framed as creepy if it was a less conventionally attractive actor because it wouldn't be as convincing for the audience
💯 ... so many people are saying how romantic this is but I find it creepy. The guy is really cute but I still find it cringey. Who would want to date a guy so obsessed with them that they would constantly stare at them like that lol he would probably stay up at night and watch her sleep 🤨

Juliet should’ve been a detective, locating that video so quickly after Mark’s exhausting search. Seriously, her reactions watching that tape, especially when the truth hits her, marked Miss Knightley for greatness as an actress early on in her career, much like Kate Winslet’s breakout role in Sense & Sensibility.
Keira Knightley was and continues to be breathtakingly and effortlessly beautiful. She is truly heavenly in every sense. Her appearance only begins to describe how beautiful she is.
My theory is that he didnt want to make a move because of his best friend and that would be betrayal. Which also goes to show how much he loved his best friend which is part of the theme of this movie.
I think many missed the point. He didnt indulge himself by focusing on her, it just happened naturally. Thats why he hadnt given them the tape yet, he was trying to fix it and couldnt.
There's a lesson to be learnt from this scene: TALK to one another and TELL THEM what's going on, no matter how embarrassing it might seem in that moment.
It's not as easy as you think....I like one of my coworkers...there's no way I could tell him. We see each other very often and if he doesn't feel the same, it would be really embarrassing for me, since we work together and we have to be professional..also I don't want other people to find out. I feel like Mark at the moment...it's really difficult. I tried to make a move, but either he didn't get it or he doesn't want to start something because we're at work or he's just not into me :/
@@zora_volloi actually have some experience here. I liked a girl at work a lot. I had similar doubts like you had, but I made the move anyway. I cared more about telling her how I felt than anything bad that could happen. People finding out, her not reciprocating, it was all immaterial. One day I simply told her I liked her. She reciprocated and we ended up going on 2 dates where I completely dropped the ball and that was the end of it. Work was a tad awkward after that but it wasn’t unbearable. We took a chance at something and it didn’t pan out, no big deal. She ended up going off to college and I haven’t seen or heard from her since. It’s incredible how quickly someone can enter our lives and just as quickly leave. With this in mind I say you go for it. I think you have more to lose by sitting on these feelings than just acting on them. Good luck
Love how she's about to ask him why did he onky edit in her but then would realise it herself so there was no need to directly spout it out to the audience. Modern writers can't write subtext like that anymore, everything has to be shown and explained in the simplest way possible so their little brains won't go on a twist thinking they could be too smart for the audience even though they wouldn't pass a difficult high school class withthe stuff they're making
My realization that I saw this before pirates of the Caribbean and before the walking dead and only now discovered they were the actors in this movie 😂
She doesn't really have a full underbite, just a prominent lower jaw, because when she closes her mouth, her lower teeth still close behind her upper teeth.
If this happened in the real world, she'd be calling the police on her mobile. The fact that he admits that he's never actually had a conversation with her. So he's clearly only lusting after her for her looks, like you would for a celebrity you've never met.
the way he didnt film his best friend for even one frame is killing me he didnt even try to hide it 😭😭

@@carterblunt4192Dear Carter, that sounds very sad. What happens to me is that there is a man who is in love with me.
However, all I can think about is this unattainable man.
I know this is stupid to the max, but I can't stop my feelings.
Apparently you feel the same way about that girl from your teenage years. You've inflated her and now no one else can keep up.
We're both obviously at an impasse. Now it's time to get out of there.
I have to forget about this unattainable man and you have to socialize. This is the only way you can meet a woman who touches your heart. I wish you good luck with it!
Dare, sometimes you yourself are part of a romantic film. It's happened to me and it will happen to you too.
However, you have to leave the house to experience it...
He is not in love with her. He is obsessed with the idea of her. He hardly knows her. This is not love. This is infatuation and a 30 year old man should not have stuff like this at his age. It is so childish and honestly quite creepy.
I always find something new rewatching this movie. When she says his name, then says I know you are his friend, if you look very closely, you can see his whole face and body look hopeful that she will say she has feelings back then when she goes I know you have never warmed to me he suddenly deflates and realises its not what he wanted to hear. I've never looked so closely, but that's so sad. :( The whole movie is perfectly done. It is one of my top 5 movies I could watch over and over.
So true thanks for noticing!
What a great catch. I missed that nuance and you're right. It's everything he was hoping for released in one breath.
Rick doesn't know yet how difficult life will be soon
The irony was forget about love, she thought he didn't even like her...
How we misunderstand feelings...
Unrequited love is indeed so painful. All the comments below brought me a connection with everyone...the tears are close by.
One of the best and most painful scenes in the movie.
you can hear his heart brake into million pieces while still wishing the best of her，and that is what love should be like，you move forward，do the best for the one you love or loved，not for your own want
"But, you don't even like me." How we pretend and how we misunderstand. Games we play...
He said it's self preservation. To bury the feelings and just accept the things we can not, or ought not, change.
For me one of the most moving scenes in the movie
Favorite subplot
Don't try it in real life
@@tusktooth4122 amen to that lol
idk, that one movie where they have to move from 3 different houses cause they were haunted has more moving.
God, she's absolutely lovely.
"But you never talk to me. You always talk to Peter. You don't like me." I don't think the feelings are unrequited at all. It's just bad timing. You can almost hear a hint of hurt in her voice that shows that she also in fact has romantic feelings for him too. Almost as if she's saying "well maybe it could have been you but you never even bothered to get to know me".
I was like that to first girl i fell in love with. Never spoke to her but was with her almost every day, for 7 years.
I'm sorry but this is such a girly thing to say, there was probably a convo between the blokes when they first saw her an the other guy said "wow look at her, I'm going to talk to her"
From that second loyalty dictates there's no way back , I have loved a girl who met my best friend before me, I know she loved me too, didn't change a thing 😔
Also just want to add the effort she puts in to try to get him to connect to her... A further indication of feelings that expand the realms of friendliness.
@Baby Empress Tarot 😩 I feel bad like I'm picking on u, I'm not I promise , but we know all this , we just put it out of our minds an don't think about it.
We will never talk about it to her or our friend , its as he says in the movie its a self preservation thing
@@BipoIarbear yup, but i can say you that its also a very nice memory of your life. looking back to all of those things you felt and how you adored another person in pure way. ^^
Was it first time you felt like that for someone ?
This scene can take repeated viewings because, while the writing is spot on, the two actors seem to be being so real.
It is SO Incredibly amazing when she "opens her eyes" and sees 🙃
"Its a self preservation thing" ❤❤❤...a must to remember ❤...always❤
This is one of the best, most beautiful, scenes of any film ever! The acting is so good!
I'm not gonna claim to be some "Manly Man" or anything, but Rom Coms just aren't my thing...except THIS one! This is one of the few I LOVE to watch whenever it's on, and this scene is just, from acting, to camera work, to each line, *perfection*! I heard there was a sequel to this movie, but never confirmed it...
(another one I like is Steve Martin's Roxanne)
Fun fact, she was wearing the hat to cover up a massive spot on her forehead. Keira was still on her teens/early twenties in most of her iconic roles.
yeah she was literally 17 in the first Pirates movie lmao pretty weird considering how much they sexualized her in that.
@@icyjules Considering the time period I'd say she was appropriately dressed all of the time.
@@icyjules Yep they even made her get breast implants for pirates. And her parents pushed her to do it.
@@tapsofosiris3110 I have to assume that's not true.
@@wallacerose8663 look it up. She even brings it up during the DVD commentary of Pirates 1.
Is Kiera not one of the most beautiful women you can ever hope to lay eyes on? Let alone speak to. If she was in front of me, I would pass out the moment she spoke, I think! Thank you! Love her in everything!!
If it were me, I would say something incoherent and then completely black out on my feet. My subconscious motor control functions would still be operational, but my conscious mind would only return later and I would only remember her saying hello - the rest would be a blank.
In answer to your question, "No."
@@godfreycarmichaelthen who is, wise guy
great acting scene and Keira looks simply mesmerizing as Juliet
That is just the sweetest scene. I love love love a good scene.
It was my first year in college when i watched this movie in theater. I watched this movie with a girl whom i like so very very much, she's so gorgeous to the point i was really nervous when she's around me, i can't barely eat my lunch when she look at me. The thing is, the first time i was meeting her, i didn't even pay attention on her existence. I started to like her due to at that time a friend of mine borrowed my brand new Nokia phone to test the camera and she started taking pictures of anything, including a picture of the girl whom i later fell in love with. So when i arrived at home, checked the phone and started deleting all the pictures taken, i saw her pictures, and instantly fell in love to her beauty, I couldn't delete her pictures. So, I started asking who she is, and asked my friend to introduce me to her. Long story short, she was already taken, and in a relationship with her boyfriend since high school, so i keep my distance in a friend zone without her knowing my true feelings. At some point when she had a heated argument with her boyfriend because he was being so possessive, she asked me out to a movie. I thought we'll be watching it with another friend of her. Yet when i met her on the theater it just the 2 of us, she choosed this movie. TBH at that moment i didn't even knew what was the title of the movie, or what's the movie was all about due to i was so frickin nervous being left alone with her. I only remember this particular scene and when this man told keira he loved her with his hand writing on the door step. At this particular scene, she held my arms and told me, she feels so comfy and like being with me, she also wondered if we can be more than friends. I was so dumbstruck n didn't know what to answer, so i kept silent and let her held my hand until the end of the movie. I took her eat some lunch at KFC, and told her "I do really want to say 'yes' to all of it, but i am afraid you're confused about your feelings toward me and mistaken it into something else. Take a step back so u can look all of it throughly, I'll be a phone call away if u need me" it was the hardest and bitter KFC i swallowed in my life. Took us 9 years to be together, though we took separate ways eventually, i think it was due to i was at my final year of my post graduate, told her to wait, because if i didn't finished my theses in 6 months the university will be dropping me out but her time is running out. So this movie has the sweetest memories on me. Fate works in a mysterious way, sometimes destiny is entwined but never joined, some life are stranger than fictions.
The entire love triangle between the two best friends and her is, for me, the most emotional and best story in the entire film. His secret adoration for his best friend's wife, the way she realizes it through this absolutely magnificently staged scene and the way he finally confesses his love and affection to her without crossing any boundaries. Absolutely consistent from start to finish, and particularly well acted by Keira Knigthley (just 17 years old at the time!) and Andrew Lincoln.
Oh Rick was such a flirt before the apocalypse hit
Keira is so pretty. Has tons of talent.
This woman ... Her eyes are incredible.
Everyone is talking about how impressive the acting is, but the shot/reverse shot of the two and the TV is amazing with different intensity of close ups
I forgot how totally obsessed I used to be with Kiera. You can't blame the guy.
I remember watching this back in 2003 and how that dress was beautifully sparkling at the end of the wedding video.
This scene always kills me. So beautifully done and acted.
As a life-long pro photographer since age 15 years (I'm 75 now) I can confirm that taking photos of beautiful girls and women can really mess with one's mind. I've developed probably thousands of crushes that never went anywhere and many were difficult to move past.
Cameras didn't exist when you were 15

You grew up in the wrong generation. Today you'd only be taking selfies.

This has been an incredibly difficult lesson to learn. With my luck she would have been a narcissist who decided to lead me on and play games with my emotions only so I can be fuel/narcissistic supply.
The moment you realize that the movie is entirely about your face.
Idk why but the youtube algorithm kept pushing this on my feed, and after at least 3 weeks, I've finally watched it. This movie must be fantastic. I've never seen it, but the mark of a good movie is that you can feel what's going on in important scenes without much context. I 100% understand what's going on here without ever having seen this movie before and it's fantastic.
Their story was the saddest from that film. Very heartbreaking.💔
I don't think it was the saddest. I got the feeling they were both going to be okay. A couple of the other stories did not have a good outlook ahead.
you're ignoring Emma Thompson's character and Colin Firth 💀💀 they got cheated on by their spouses, not to mention Laura Linney's brother
This song where he is walking along by himself makes the movie,such a beautiful love song & you didn't show it😢
Dido - Here with me
In the real world, any sane beautiful woman would be completely freaked out.
This. It only works because he's good looking.
Or … her husband is always talking about what a great guy his best friend his and talks about him all the time… and now she finally understands why he was avoiding her?
@@gracekang4035 this and it helps that Andrew's easy on the eyes, it would 100% be framed as creepy if it was a less conventionally attractive actor because it wouldn't be as convincing for the audience
💯 ... so many people are saying how romantic this is but I find it creepy. The guy is really cute but I still find it cringey. Who would want to date a guy so obsessed with them that they would constantly stare at them like that lol he would probably stay up at night and watch her sleep 🤨

I can't believe this was 20 years ago already. She is terribly beautiful in this sequence. 💔
I like the little Rick Grimes walk away at the end :)
All these years later and I still cry like a baby....
"I look quite pretty" is......actually......an understatement.
i love how her face goes "lol dont you think this video is a bit too focused on- wait... OH.... oh..." at 2:22
This is the moment Mark became Rick Grimes
Keira is the best.What a great talent.
Ughhh love the running away scene
Soooooo young....I was too back in the 00s 😂. 20 year later and here we are 😂. Oooooo Video cassette...love it back then...
This looks like love, actually.

Juliet should’ve been a detective, locating that video so quickly after Mark’s exhausting search.
Seriously, her reactions watching that tape, especially when the truth hits her, marked Miss Knightley for greatness as an actress early on in her career, much like Kate Winslet’s breakout role in Sense & Sensibility.
Keira Knightley was and continues to be breathtakingly and effortlessly beautiful. She is truly heavenly in every sense. Her appearance only begins to describe how beautiful she is.
One of the most memorable scenes from the movie. Brilliantly done.
She should be like “oh, you are a freak”. And he would be like “scream if you want, no one will hear you.”
A lot of romantic comedies (if given a different soundtrack and lighting) would be horror films lol 🤣
@@esmeecampbell7396 🤣🤣
Incredible actors woww you really feel every beat change every feeling with them
My theory is that he didnt want to make a move because of his best friend and that would be betrayal. Which also goes to show how much he loved his best friend which is part of the theme of this movie.
That may be so, but a better reason for him to not make a move would have been the fact he is 5'4" and she is Keira Knightley.
I will always love Andrew Lincoln! I wish him and Keira had worked together after this...
I think many missed the point. He didnt indulge himself by focusing on her, it just happened naturally. Thats why he hadnt given them the tape yet, he was trying to fix it and couldnt.
So touching, just another kind of romantic composing…
00:09, he acted exactly like Bill Nighy. Such an iconic move.
OMG, I just realized that’s Officer Rick! He looks a lot happier when he’s not fighting zombies. :)
My man protected his friend at all costs
She is only 4 years older than the kid playing drums at his school performance at the end. Crazy.
No, 8.
Took me a while to recognize ‘Rick Grimes’ in ‘Love Actually’. He’s so clean I love it.
There's a lesson to be learnt from this scene:
TALK to one another and TELL THEM what's going on, no matter how embarrassing it might seem in that moment.
It's not as easy as you think....I like one of my coworkers...there's no way I could tell him. We see each other very often and if he doesn't feel the same, it would be really embarrassing for me, since we work together and we have to be professional..also I don't want other people to find out. I feel like Mark at the moment...it's really difficult. I tried to make a move, but either he didn't get it or he doesn't want to start something because we're at work or he's just not into me :/
Tell your best friend you're in love with their fiance/spouse? That's a good way to end a friendship
The great thing about this story is despite how he felt he kept it to himself out of respect to his best friend.
👍👍👍👍
@@zora_volloi actually have some experience here. I liked a girl at work a lot. I had similar doubts like you had, but I made the move anyway. I cared more about telling her how I felt than anything bad that could happen. People finding out, her not reciprocating, it was all immaterial. One day I simply told her I liked her. She reciprocated and we ended up going on 2 dates where I completely dropped the ball and that was the end of it. Work was a tad awkward after that but it wasn’t unbearable. We took a chance at something and it didn’t pan out, no big deal. She ended up going off to college and I haven’t seen or heard from her since. It’s incredible how quickly someone can enter our lives and just as quickly leave. With this in mind I say you go for it. I think you have more to lose by sitting on these feelings than just acting on them. Good luck
Love how she's about to ask him why did he onky edit in her but then would realise it herself so there was no need to directly spout it out to the audience.
Modern writers can't write subtext like that anymore, everything has to be shown and explained in the simplest way possible so their little brains won't go on a twist thinking they could be too smart for the audience even though they wouldn't pass a difficult high school class withthe stuff they're making
"it's a... self-preservation thing... you see..."
My realization that I saw this before pirates of the Caribbean and before the walking dead and only now discovered they were the actors in this movie 😂
It would have been amazing if she turned into a zombie, and he had to fight her off.

That took like a 180 turn and I love this 😂😂😂

She was tye zombie he wouldn't kill ...
She's adorable. I will have to watch it. Can't go wrong with Kiera Knoghtly.
that was quite a award winning scene
a Walking dead/love actually mashup needs to happen
My favorite scene in the movie.
When I watched this many many years ago, it was the sweetest thing.
Now, almost 2 decades later, I hate it.
Imagine me seeing it for the first time in 2023, it is just horrifying.
This is the only scene that felt like love in love actually.
Infatuation isn't love. It's just a predatory 1 sided obsession.
She has such a charming smile !!!
Keira is gorgeous - AND you can really see her underbite here. No one is perfect, yet beauty is everywhere
She doesn't really have a full underbite, just a prominent lower jaw, because when she closes her mouth, her lower teeth still close behind her upper teeth.
@@sebfox2194 true!
If this happened in the real world, she'd be calling the police on her mobile.
The fact that he admits that he's never actually had a conversation with her.
So he's clearly only lusting after her for her looks, like you would for a celebrity you've never met.
So this is what Rick was dreaming about...
Amazing scene and great music, she is beatiful...
