I love the part where Carol offers her a cigarette and Therese abruptly says no thank you and you can see Carol is a little shook by it, because every time before that when she offered her a cigarette Therese would say yes. In that moment she realises how much Therese has changed and how she won't just do whatever Carol says anymore. Subtle but perfect.
I’ve watched this scene over and over! I felt like Therese was waiting for Carol to say the right things.. but Carol was expecting the “old” Therese. I was so frustrated, and then Carol says she loves her...whew!
I was thinking also that their relationship would most likely be so much better because Therese grew up and was becoming her own person.. she now has so much more to offer
She has learnt to say no because when carol left unexpectedly from the hotel room and didnt answer therese phone calls she was hurt and she became tough and mature with time
Same! In this scene Theres tells Carol "No" more times than any other scene. This is why I love the ending because Theres shows Carol she's thoughtfully choosing her rather than "just saying yes and go along with everything" (reference to their climatic car scene earlier)
This acting was incredible. The way Cate looks her up and down during that long silence admiring her gives me the chills. The awkwardness, how they lock eyes the entire time, Cate’s nervousness, how she looks like she’s about to cry when she leaves the table, Thereas reaction to her touching her shoulder. Omg everytime I watch this I cry
agree, the acting was amazing! And that acting when carol said "well that's that & i love you" while looking like she's about to cry, that was so heartbreaking
All of the things she thought might have worked without making her more vulnerable than she already felt had failed. Carol realized she either had to lay her heart on the table and let things fall where they may, or risk never getting another opportunity. Therese knew her worth this time around. My breath catches in my lungs every time I watch this scene.
@@ranirathi3379De acuerdo. Siempre Carol, de las dos fue la más segura y aquí llegó para reconquistarla a cómo diera lugar desde lo profundo de su amor, pero Therese, dolida y ciertamente esperando ese Disculpas que nunca llegó, rechazó su invitación de vivir juntas poniendo a Carol insegura y desesperada hasta que le confesó, de corazón, las 3 palabras mágicas. Inolvidable escena, las miradas lo expresaban todo, las expresiones corporales de ambas eran un sueño dónde no se quiere despertar
she was trying so hard to convince therese subtly, but when she realized therese was growing more of a backbone she used her last resort and said “i love you”
yes first attempt: ask to live in apt together --> failed. 2nd attempt: ask to join her in dinner with friends --> failed last attempt --> i love you (from her voice & her eyes, you can feel it how desperate she is)
It's like the tables have turned. Their first lunch it was Carol who was calm and Theresse was the one who was nervous. Cut to this Dinner scene where Theresse is rather calm and composed and carol is nervous and acting like a teenager in love.
Cate Blanchett makes “i love you” sound utterly revelatory and new. and the way she says “but i guess you won’t” preemptively shows you how terrified she is of Therese turning her down. like a teenager. just brilliant acting.
"is that what comes of getting away from me?" "no" this simple exchange is so heavy, carol wonders if their separation is what made therese grow into a strong secure woman but really it was their relationship and love that did that to her and gave her the confidence to leave richard and do what makes her happy in all aspects
I honestly think this may be the one movie that made me cry in such a genuine way. It’s not sad, but it’s not happy. Showing Therese’s growing maturity and finally becoming herself is so riveting, especially after we see her at her most desperate trying to contact Carol before we get this scene. Not to mention this scene also shows Carol at her most vulnerable.
there’s a lot happening here but my favorite was how therese starts breathing a little heavier after carol touches her shoulder and leaves. bc she realized she made a mistake but she can’t turn back and she’s second guessing herself if she’s right
Also when she introduces Carol to Jack Taft, she also breathes heavily! She tries to regroup her thoughts and to say something to her but as always Jack always gets to interrupt her. She was super surprised and shocked by Carol's courage and love for her! Therese probably didn't expect her to say that she loves her at all.
I also love the contrast between when Carol touches her shoulder and when Jack does. The same general gesture, but completely different emotional weight.
Jack ruined a beautiful moment I can totally relate to Carol in this moment having left or detached from somebody you love knowing they love you and hoping to get them back this scene broke my heart
Conmoción total para mi y sobre todo para Therese. Esa frase la sacudió, sobresaltó más aún de lo que ya estaba. Aguantar esas miradas intensas y penetrantes de Carol aparentando quietud ya era un desafío, sólo su respiración agitada y sus ojos la delataban... una de mis escenas predilectas❤
The subtle sobbing at 3:07 is heart breaking. Awesome scene, you can feel how desperate Carol is after Therese seems to be so indifferent to every move she makes.
I love when Carol shortly exhales before saying ‘oakwood’ after her offer was rejected. You can hear her shivering in the voice. Such a perfect performance.
in the beginning of the movie its just shows 2 women having casual conversation, but in the end it shows carol talking to the love of her life❤️, so much more emotional and drawn in
and in the beginning and also in the end carol touch therese shoulder, but the emotions that audience feel is different in the beginning and also in the end even though it is the same scene, because in the end scene we have known the emotions inside that touch
This is so good. Exquisite really. You see the end of the scene at the beginning of the movie and it means nothing. By this point in the movie, Jack arrives and you're ready to shoot him into the sun, although he personally has done nothing wrong. But his presence is the most intrusive thing it seems like it must be intentional.
Kind of like how Justin Taylor finally said "No!" to Brian when he asked for his Hand in Marriage. They were together from 17-22 but he came a long way. He packed his stuff up, left The Loft where he and Brian had some "Romantic" Times, and would eventually move to New York.
@@emilyrugburn9167 no, she meant it. boundaries are important, it's not healthy to say yes to everything someone says when you don't know what you want in the first place. Therese said no to doing anything Carol would ask her, Therese said yes to being in love with her. Strong difference. The age gap plays a big part in this, it's why these relationships are shunned because the younger person is always inexperienced and daunted. Therese became a woman, which made their happy ending.
omg this whole scene.... from the first breath of Cate is incredible i searched for it and yet still after all this time it takes my breath away believe me i have seen it more than 100 times it is stuck in my mind
Esa parte dónde su mano toca con tal delicadeza y ternura dejó a Therese a punto de explotar, y seguramente le sintió ese perfume que tanto le gustaba de Carol y que siempre esta usaba..inolvidable escena
Watched the whole movie just minutes ago and I can't with this scene. You can clearly see how desperate Carol is to get Therese back. Like at the moments she failed to get a yes from Therese makes her shook. Too much emotions conveyed. Love it.
I've watched this film a few times since it came out, and it was good. But this year I watched it, and suddenly I noticed all the nuances and themes of the acting I hadn't before. Here, I love how Thérèse is quietly angry, as you can see by the expression in her eyes and how she's answering Carol's questions. She looks like she's waiting for an apology of sorts from Carol, which she never gets because Carol. And, at the same time, it seems Thérèse wants to run straight into her arms. Very striking and so well done. It's restrained, but so flooded with emotion at the same time. Loved it so much. I'm glad you've uploaded this clip. Edit: Oh and that touch from Carol was played so well. They hadn't touched in about a year. Shivers.
Did anyone notice the difference when carol says "I love you" compared to when Richard (Therese ex boyfriend) says "I love you" earlier in the film to Therese. Richards delivery of the line lacked any emotional weight as he was only looking to convince Therese of his love so she would go along with his plans of what he wanted whist Carol says it with genuine emotions.
yes I noticed it. Also therese reaction is different when Carol said i love you than Richard said it. And did you notice Therese reaction is also different when Carol's hand touch her shoulder (at this ending scene) vs Jack's hand on her shoulder?
Did you ever see how upset she got when the Paparazzi was following her. She couldn't find her Friend's House and she was furious. I think this was the second Movie that I saw based on a Patricia Highsmith Novel where a Typewriter was used. While Therese was using a Typewriter as part of her "Work", Tom used Dickie's to write A Letter that was the biggest lie this side of the Moon. Also when you saw Carol in the Diner, they used a similar Photo for one of the many editions where "Carol" is at The Diner. You have to give Therese her pros. She came a long way from being The Shopgirl a couple of months ago and now an up and coming Photographer.
@@laminage In the original novel, Therese is a set designer for theatre and Carol always tried to offer the money to support her to get into the equity. Changing the career from set designer to photographer is way better for a limited time on the film. If this will be made into series, set designer still very interesting choice while Carol always has a passion for furniture and end up being a buyer for furniture store.
0:59-1:02 Therese instantly knows that the woman with the high heels walking behind her is Carol (for many reasons, e.g: smelled her perfume etc) and she has that longing (missed her so dearly), still filled with love, facial expression. 1:08-1:13 But right before Carol sits, Therese's face changes, to a cold, guarded one, so as not to look totaly hurt and lost and so in love with her. 2:42-2:48 & 3:00-3:08 Therese sensed what Carol was about to say and ask her afterwards, from the start, and she acutely and without much thought denied her request, both expressively and verbally (God that coldness she had. Of course, that's not what she really wanted).
for those who don't know, this encounter is basically based of the movie "Brief Encounter" in which two lovers are spending their last minutes together, and are brutally interrupted by an annoying old lady. The only way they can say goodbye, is by a light touch on the shoulder. The movie also starts off with that scene, and then comes back to it later on.
I saw the Movie on TCM a couple of Months ago, what a Beautiful Movie. I also loved the narration by Lauren Lefkow. When she said "I Love You" it sent chills down my spine.
this scene makes my heart feel so heavy, the angst is real I feel like crying everytime. Therese's reaction to Carol saying "i love you" and to her touching her shoulder... the way she closes her eyes and started breathing heavily.. everything's just so heartbreaking but I love it cause it was worth it till the end
I just recently watched this movie. And read the book after. I can't believe how the adaptation was so much better than the book itself. Perfect emotions and marvelous scenes. ❤️
Don't know how you can say that the adaptation gave no reason as to why Therese says no. In the book we had a couple of weeks with Therese left on her own out west where her broken heat slowly morphed into anger at Carol for abandoning her leading to the No.
What I like about this scene is what is not said and what lies underneath, Carol tries the psychology of self pity in a way of "I'm surprised you agreed/do you hate me Therese/is this what happens when you get away from me" all rebuked by Therese comprehensively and with vigour. Carol then tries the old tactics of dangling a carrot with coming to live with her, then a meeting for dinner, I feel at this point Carol's only option and I believe it's genuine is to tell her how much she loves her, I feel Therese is taken aback by this and realises she genuinely does (time does make the heart grow fonder) I feel at the touching of her shoulder Therese has to make a decision and the end is very ambigous, does she meet to see her one last time or meet to see if their love can survive..it's a magical moment and subtly done.
im dead many times with this scene,too much tension,they werent acting,they were real with their feeling in this scene,my heartbeat insync with them everytime,help
I'm so attached to this movie that it hurts and it breaks my heart that there is not similar movie like this or no movie can top carol for me. I want a movie with the same cast 😥
Try Brokeback Mountain, an equally tragic and doomed love affair, I would say just as powerful and delivered (like Blanchett and Rooney) with great conviction by Ledger and Gylenhall..another film that wells me up inside. The scene at the end where Ennis finds Jack's dead shirt (spoilers sorry) and then hugs it...just heartbreaking.
Interesting that "I love you," three words that are so simple have been used by Todd Haynes here and in Safe (1995) so effectively and to mean such different things. Incredible scene.
@@LoveBlueOcean1 In Safe it's a coping mechanism, a last resort for Carol (lol her name is also Carol) who is basically left for dead still without any improvement of her condition. I just find it interesting that both are arguably the most emotionally pivotal moment in each respective film, and both are the same exact line and also now thinking about it both women who say the line are named Carol. Just a cool observation.
@@LoveBlueOcean1 Safe is phenomenal. Definitely my favorite film I have seen by Todd Haynes. It is a bit more challenging like some of his earlier stuff tends to be, but it is amazing. I highly recommend it.
4:32-4:34 Movie and book SPOILERS: Therese thought that she shouldn't let Carol leave without saying what she wanted to say (we all know what that would be) but she couldn't say no to Jack's invitation, for some reason. I mean in the book she had an important job potential meeting in a party with the important players like the lead actress etc. The book version of the party has more gravity and importance (and for the character of Genevieve and what meant to Therese.) But here it's just a casual low profile party, she technically could have said no to Jack, as it was just a simple party really. Then she just leaves, not really done anything in that party, whereas in the book she did way more, talked with a bunch of people and Genevieve Cantrell and just straight goes to the Oak Room. Of course i don't really mean to complain, just my thoughts on this scene from the movie and some notes of the scenes i mentioned from the book and how they compare (in my opinion) to the ones from the movie. Still and probably for forever will have this movie in my heart.
I have the cd and watch it every year near Christmas, beings that this movie, I could of wrote from a personal experience, including the names. Different ending, but we are still very much kindred spirts and still in each others lives.
Cena brilhante!! Ainda hoje, me perco em quem é a protagonista do filme! Tanto Cate quanto Rooney estão muito equilibradas. (Perfeitas)Me arrisco a dizer que esse é o melhor filme da década sobre o tema. A atuação das duas foi simplesmente PERFEITA! Direção, fotografia,figurino, roteiro IMPECÁVEL. Rooney captou a essência de seu personagem de forma excelente. ❤️❤️🇧🇷
Why tf can't someone hold so much passion & deep emotions for me & show them. That's not even a question 'cause I already know why, I always bump into stubborn mfs who can't drop down their pride.
I watch this movie carol and i will give an applause because cate blanchett never fail to make and give her best to all her movies and i love her acting it was very natural and I don't know why I'm crying to the part that she leave therese and abby will taking care of therese and she leave a letter and that's I'm crying a lot.😢😢 I love the ending❤ The truth is same sex is very hard to accept but always remember that choose to be happy and choose the person you love the most❤❤ proud to be part of LGBTQ😊 i will watch again carol
I also noticed that jacket on her chair when I watched it, but then I think "maybe she put it there before she made the phone call?". And that jacket was also made therese know that it is carol's table and chair?
I just realized That The Oak Room was also mentioned in both Version of The Boys In The Band 1970/2020. On other Channels folks admitted they wanted to smash Jack for interrupting such a Private Moment.
The acting is impeccable, there are so many things to analyse within this scene. it truly is a masterpiece and carries so much depth...
You can’t cut the tension with a knife lol , the knife 🔪 with would break dude
This scene is built by the way they look at each other, pure respect for each other feelings.

Carol then tries the old tactics of dangling a carrot with coming to live with her, then a meeting for dinner, I feel at this point Carol's only option and I believe it's genuine is to tell her how much she loves her, I feel Therese is taken aback by this and realises she genuinely does (time does make the heart grow fonder) I feel at the touching of her shoulder Therese has to make a decision and the end is very ambigous, does she meet to see her one last time or meet to see if their love can survive..it's a magical moment and subtly done.
when reality hits that you cannot unwatch this great adaptation. sublime and spectacular performances for Cate and Mara
It's absolutely the most emotional scene thro the picture.
a cinematic masterpiece.
I loveeee the way carol exhale
I am glad the ending is a happy one. So many times the ending of these movies are sad and depressing!
this whole scene is my roman empire
Carol And Therese moved in together after their eyes immediately met at the Oak Room
The tension though waaaah! Love this scene
im dead many times with this scene,too much tension,they werent acting,they were real with their feeling in this scene,my heartbeat insync with them everytime,help
OMG I LOVE THIS FILM SO MUCH
Cate Blanchett is brilliant!
Exquisita ❤
I love this movie and soundtrack 😍
The the i love you part really hurt me...
In the first few seconds: Carol sitting alone in the café, look just like a Hopper painting.
yes. beautiful painting
I'm so attached to this movie that it hurts and it breaks my heart that there is not similar movie like this or no movie can top carol for me. I want a movie with the same cast 😥
same cast: Rooney and Cate in nightmare alley that will be aired in december 2021. buy not a romance movie though
Try Brokeback Mountain, an equally tragic and doomed love affair, I would say just as powerful and delivered (like Blanchett and Rooney) with great conviction by Ledger and Gylenhall..another film that wells me up inside. The scene at the end where Ennis finds Jack's dead shirt (spoilers sorry) and then hugs it...just heartbreaking.
Interesting that "I love you," three words that are so simple have been used by Todd Haynes here and in Safe (1995) so effectively and to mean such different things. Incredible scene.
mean different things? what does that words mean in safe?
@@LoveBlueOcean1 In Safe it's a coping mechanism, a last resort for Carol (lol her name is also Carol) who is basically left for dead still without any improvement of her condition. I just find it interesting that both are arguably the most emotionally pivotal moment in each respective film, and both are the same exact line and also now thinking about it both women who say the line are named Carol. Just a cool observation.
cool observation. I haven't watched safe, is it a good film?
@@LoveBlueOcean1 Safe is phenomenal. Definitely my favorite film I have seen by Todd Haynes. It is a bit more challenging like some of his earlier stuff tends to be, but it is amazing. I highly recommend it.
thank you for your recommendation. Then I 'm gonna watch safe
The music in carol 😭😭😭😍
Just wanna cry right now
"I feel I stand in a desert with my hands outstretched, and you are raining down upon me."
I lived the exact same relationship. Insane how this movie represent my story.
Me too, same names too, believe it or not.
@@tessimccauley9824Oh....
Oh...
Well, that's that 💔
3:48 "i love you"
No one:
subtitle 4:43 : nice meeting you jerk
😂😂😂😂😂😂LMFAO
Lol harsh
Lmao, it's what Carol was thinking
4:32-4:34 Movie and book SPOILERS: Therese thought that she shouldn't let Carol leave without saying what she wanted to say (we all know what that would be) but she couldn't say no to Jack's invitation, for some reason. I mean in the book she had an important job potential meeting in a party with the important players like the lead actress etc. The book version of the party has more gravity and importance (and for the character of Genevieve and what meant to Therese.) But here it's just a casual low profile party, she technically could have said no to Jack, as it was just a simple party really. Then she just leaves, not really done anything in that party, whereas in the book she did way more, talked with a bunch of people and Genevieve Cantrell and just straight goes to the Oak Room. Of course i don't really mean to complain, just my thoughts on this scene from the movie and some notes of the scenes i mentioned from the book and how they compare (in my opinion) to the ones from the movie. Still and probably for forever will have this movie in my heart.
I have the cd and watch it every year near Christmas, beings that this movie, I could of wrote from a personal experience, including the names. Different ending, but we are still very much kindred spirts and still in each others lives.
Cate is a phenomenal actress, phew!
This scene actually gives me emotional break down
Cate Blanchett está perfeita e belíssima nesse cena, chegou devagar, foi clara e objetiva.
Cate: 3:35 your eyes... I'm melting down.
Cena brilhante!! Ainda hoje, me perco em quem é a protagonista do filme! Tanto Cate quanto Rooney estão muito equilibradas. (Perfeitas)Me arrisco a dizer que esse é o melhor filme da década sobre o tema. A atuação das duas foi simplesmente PERFEITA! Direção, fotografia,figurino, roteiro IMPECÁVEL. Rooney captou a essência de seu personagem de forma excelente. ❤️❤️🇧🇷
Sim! Eu amo esse filme. Não precisa de ter 20 cenas de sexo lesbica ou etc, quando apenas um toque pode despertar uma avassaladora paixão.
And Rooney Mara actual birthday is on 17 April same as what carol wrote in the letter
😲😲😲😲
Omg my heeeaaart 😱
사랑한다 말하는 장면은 정말.. 뭔가 정말 눈물나는 장면이에요
Happy birthday cate from italian boy live in rome
This scene always makes me cry😭
Why tf can't someone hold so much passion & deep emotions for me & show them. That's not even a question 'cause I already know why, I always bump into stubborn mfs who can't drop down their pride.
我这辈子都走不出这部电影了
well thats thar i love you ❤❤
I absolutely love ur lesbian flag pfp,it's so pretty
I watch this movie carol and i will give an applause because cate blanchett never fail to make and give her best to all her movies and i love her acting it was very natural and I don't know why I'm crying to the part that she leave therese and abby will taking care of therese and she leave a letter and that's I'm crying a lot.😢😢 I love the ending❤
The truth is same sex is very hard to accept but always remember that choose to be happy and choose the person you love the most❤❤ proud to be part of LGBTQ😊 i will watch again carol
i cant help but think that carol loved her more, maybe because she was more desperate from the begining
Therese was head over heels for Carol. It was Carol nothing but Carol. Read the book.
I love this scene however the director messed up by not catching that her jacket was on the back of her chair before she even sat down
I also noticed that jacket on her chair when I watched it, but then I think "maybe she put it there before she made the phone call?". And that jacket was also made therese know that it is carol's table and chair?
LoveBlueOcean1 thats exactly it.
LoveBlueOcean1 yep, that’s what actually happened. The director didn’t mess up
Carol had already gotten there and left the table to make the phone call.
@@LoveBlueOcean1 exactly,
This has A Brief Encounter Vibe where the Two Characters "Meet" and "Talk" and a Friend of The Lady interrupts them.
yes it is
I just realized That The Oak Room was also mentioned in both Version of The Boys In The Band 1970/2020. On other Channels folks admitted they wanted to smash Jack for interrupting such a Private Moment.
Alguien por favor dígame si alguna de estas 2 actrices fueron premiadas por esta película ¡las actuaciones son maravillosas!
No, ninguna de ellas, pero fueron nominadas.
Happy birthday cate from italian boy live in rome and I m fan of carol
