@@kikeara the bedroom scene especially tidying the bed is an unconscious reaction. It is a normal behaviour it is something she has done as a wife and homemaker hundreds of times and it is an anchor behaviour when her life has just hit a wild storm with the realization of the dishonesty of her husband the bare faced cheerfulness he shows when she opens her Joni Mitchell dvd. She is devastated and the floor has given way beneath her. Right is left up is down. She is astounding cos her love for her children compels her to put on the. brave face.The husband is incomprehensible. How long would the deceit have continued. She was so brave to challenge him and burst his bubble and make him wake up and she did it magnificently after the children’s show.Her voice breaks as she tells him in the ‘what would you do?’ Statements and she lays it on how he made her life and her foolish. Perfect he is left squirming exposed for what he is with guilt She then pours out her love to her children greeting them in Princess Diana style with outstretched open arms and takes them home to treats and he follows like a sheep. I wonder what their conversation was like when they were alone. Did the secretary leave her job? It was later decided by the scriptwriters that it wasn’t a full an affair but a flirtation but that is dishonest and a betrayal of love and marital attention his wife deserved.
And to think that this really did happen to her in her first marriage to Kenneth Branagh. Everyone thought that they were the Golden Couple, In fact, her 'Good 'Friend', Helena Bornheim Carter, had an affair with her husband and ended their marriage in the process.
God her last line really hits home. That's what makes cheating so awful. To the person who was cheated on, the one who stayed loyal and loving, it really does feel like their whole life became a sham. Especially when they're kids involved and you have to now make a choice knowing that it'll impact everyone around you. If you stay, you will be permanently unhappy. If you leave, you will have taken the home from the kids, as the divorce always leaves you with less and now kids have two unhappy homes to go to. How awful. It's one thing to cheat on a young, unattached person who will have the chance to meet someone new and likely better, but doing it to your life partner who gave you their youth and kids, who spent all their lives by your side just to shatter it all for lust? How unforgivable.
I can sympathize with her because she's right. When you find out the one you love is cheating on you, you do feel like a fool. But, it's almost unbearable when you realize they don't care they hurt you - that's my story.
Her problem (Emma Thompson and her character) was that she looked and dressed like a 65 year old grandma, when she was actually in her early 40s in this storyline (and her actual age at the time). Many people in early 40s still dressed and looked very attractive and young. Both in western and asian nations.
@@Mav86asian So? Is that a reason for him to cheat? Adultery is adultery. There is no justification for it, even if your wife or husband look terrible. It is not difficult to talk to each other before it goes so far. The problem is in the heart of the one cheating. People change, they not always look good, sometimes they let themselves go, they get sick or do not take care of themselves. This is part of life. What are you gonna do then? Find another model? That one WILL have his/her weak moments for sure. And then what, run off again?
Agree haha and i think that was the point. It was a careless choice. He didn't think much about it when he picked it which also reflects what he thinks of his secretary, a careless choice. Compare that to the depth of his Joni CD gift which was because he cared to remember something his wife loved. The irony of him not seeing and acknowledging his deep love for his wife is such a tragedy.
I don't think Harry ever went any further, he just picked the 1st thing he saw....he got caught up in a little flirtation...STILL WRONG....but her heartbreak was sooo strong... Love Alan Rickman in everything Would have loved to see the end of this story and the sister taking care of her mentally ill brother
The other woman/man you invest in while being married will eventually become ordinary in your eyes as well just as the one you are married to. The problem is in your heart. Fascinating how people have time and energy to invest in adulterous relationship but have no time and energy to invest in their own. Ruining people's lives for a couple of moments of pleasure. Foolish!
The sad thing is that even when the cheater fully realizes that, does their healing and comes full circle, the damage is already done. It takes an incredible effort to move beyond it.
@@DIVIPI9 over working ZI thought but no it was a woman who looked like me. This was six months after the marriage!! I invited her to dinner showed her my wedding photos drove her home in the car my husband had bought me ( none of this was making sense) and her one other she brought
To continue he had taken out flat to pieces with huge ideas he didn’t have time to complete. I was lonely and totally bewildered . He went home to Mummy briefly and returned but I could not believe a word that came out of his mouth. This was a long time ago and I think as a more mature person ZI could have steered the situation but I did not want to be hurt and be lied to any longer. He married twice more after this.period.
When Emma is in her bedroom and is trying not to break down....I loose it every single time. When this came out, I was in an abusive marriage that was hellish. I was severely neglected and our business got all my ex's attention. It was the "mistress". This scene...I _felt_ her pain in my bones. The pain of rejection, hurt, betrayal, heartbreak.....😢😢😢 So many times I'd go into the bathroom to cry....and try to pull it together. Thousands of times I put a smile on my face and acted like all was OK, when it was so far beyond OK. I won't ever do that again. Stuffing how you feel is the highest form of self betrayal.
@@starlingswallow Your second comment was unnecessary. The ''other'' woman is played by an actress, a real woman whose only ''fault'' is PLAYING THE ROLE of the other woman, and you just insulted her looks. Immature.
@@Suzyfromtheblock What a condescending patronizing advice that noone really asked for. It's rude to say this to people in abusive toxic relationship. Plus, the OP did leave afterall.
Emma Thompson is brilliant of course, but can we please take a second to appreciate Rowan Atkinson at the counter? His increasingly ridiculous gift-wrapping sequence has me dying of laughter every time!!
the bedroom describes their relationship, dull, browned off, small bed, old fashioned wood furniture, handed down Loyd Loom chair, Sainsbury plastic bag in the corner, clothes on hangers not in their ‘right’ place, headboard with its back to the window (light, illumination!) completely flat bed, neat, undisturbed, her awful frumpy clothes. This is such a clever scene no wonder it is shown regularly, a masterclass of symbolism in visual clues. Joni Mitchell’s plaintive lament for her lost innocence is hammering this home. Emma Thompson’s portrayal of Karen’s epiphany, quiet muted distress, the pathos of the scene, a superlative performance, still moving today.
Awful clothes? Not very glamorous, sure, but not awful. Not everything is that deep. Sometimes berdoom is just bedroom and it was implied that she was actually happy until she found out, and she thought he was happy with her too. People don't always cheat because it's ''dull'', that's the thing. Everything was fine with them, he just got carried away with lust.
I always wondered what happened to this couple and a quick search revealed a tweet from the wife of the director which stated that “They stay together but home isn’t as happy as it once was.” How sad.
@@annab9994No they meet at the airport. There is no way she would be meeting him if they have separated. He has been away on business I summise. The screen writers have conceded much later and said he only flirted with the office girl He was emotionally unfaithful.
I have watched “Love Actually” quite a few times as I purchased it on Amazon Prime…these are my two favorite actors with their awesome abilities to portray a character…Alan Rickman portrays a middle aged man who has a coworker throw herself at him…he does rise above it in the end but it’s hard to watch… just one vignette in this movie of different lives intersecting…in real life Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman were lifelong friends in the truest sense of the word…
I kind of like that he doesn't say it, you can see it in his eyes that he's ashamed. Some people say it naturally and some say it more as "I'm sorry I got caught". I think he was sorry and knew it was wrong, he loved that someone was finding him attractive. It's just depressing that he couldn't be satisfied with his wife loving him 😢
I think he does apologise in a garbled way just before the bit where he says he is a classic fool. He doesn’t make a song and dance about it which maybe a proper clear apology is needed really

@@saregreenwood9113 No, if she were beautiful, it wouldn't be more acceptable, but there would be a better reason behind the affair. Everyone loves beauty.
Its the hardest hit. When someone who have goven so much too cheats. Realizing, wondering how much was true? What was a lie? Knowing things will never be the same. That you're entire foundation has just crumbled beneath your feet and you just can't get a breath
Just found out Emma shoot the heartbreaking scene channeling her own actual heartbreak from her former husband’s affair with his coworker(Ken cheated with Helena on Frankenstein set) it makes her tears so much powerful
I can imagine an argument for it not being utterly and objectively wrong to pursue someone who's in a relationship but i simply can't get behind it when there are small children in the picture. Just to clarify- the scenario is proposed from the viewpoint of the single person and *not* the one already in a relationship.
I wouldn’t make it depend on the children tbh. The only situation I can ever see it being okay is if the person is obviously unhappy or the relationship is broken down. But at that point you might as well just separate because the kids can usually tell anyway that something is wrong. It’s not nice to live in a home with unhappy parents. Otherwise if you’re interested or you can tell the other person is interested I think it’s okay to express that but with the clear understanding that nothing further happens until the other relationship has ended. And Mia is just next level creepy homewrecker lol.
No, there is no situation where it isn’t wrong. Not one single situation. If it’s a bad relationship then the person needs to leave their spouse before pursuing others. Please don’t start thinking there is ever a time where this could be justified because that’s an unjustifiable rabbit hole.
@@oldageisdumb Just to clarify, i was talking about a single person pursuing someone who is already in a relationship. Not a person in a relationship cheating on/betraying the trust of their partner.
@@wilhelmscream6919 Oh I understood. Just because you aren’t the married/committed person doesn’t make you any less of a crappy human being. You are still a cheater, make no mistake about it. You can try to sugarcoat it in your mind to make yourself feel better but you are ABSOLUTELY just as guilty
No person in his right mind would risk cheating on Emma Thompson... Through the ages we've been pondering what's the meaning of life? What's our purpose really...? Finding a kind, sweet, sophisticated, stunningly beautiful, yet humble woman like Ms Thompson to share you inner most feelings with truly answers that esoteric question! It might still be a man's world, but boy it means nothing without a woman to share your life with.
What bothered me most of all is the "girlfriend" is so cheap and scummy. She has no class and making a beeline for a married man is just tacky. And he fell for her anyway. Men!
It was on a plate no questions asked and I suppose he was flattered by the attention.Emma and Alan talk about this 'no time for each other' sort of marriage in a you tube interview which is how this film marriage had become. They were caught up in getting children off to school and all sorts of things just running the home and the romance and excitement had been shoved in a corner for some while. It is a very interesting You Tube interview
Ive been there. My husband had a female coworker who was obviously flirting with him and he wouldnt stop talking to her. I left him for a couple of weeks and we went to therapy and are stronger than ever. But I'll never forget that awful feeling of being a fool 😢
So, I love Selena Gomez in the same way she loves her favorite singer. Selena is actually the one who helped me better my self-esteem. I would see the CD as in he paid attention with what I said about my favorite artist. Even though we know he was cheating, the assumption of the necklace not being for her just because she opened the CD is a bit of a reach. The necklace could be for his mother or sister. My point is that if you don't mention a nice necklace, but you see one, but it isn't for you, that isn't because he's cheating.
no wonder Selena is your idol. you are obviously not understanding anything about love, fidelity or sharing a life. hope you develop yourself and grow emotionally.
I agree. He sees the love with his wife as steady, and the girl is a flash. He probably thinks she'd forgive him for being foolish. Then he realizes he's made her a fool as well, and he hadnt even considered her at all. It's not like sneaking a cookie on a diet.
About 10 years ago or more i hated Mia for almost breaking the family. Now i'm watching and it's like "how on earth you could blame her?!" Imagine this man as yr boss OMG
Not a movie I would want to suffer watching...but yes I guess she is a good actrice, he was a good one too. Too much attention to self-pity or stupidity?

Alan Rickman ❤
It's like Mr. Bean knew.
Always..severus snape ❤
Ive been there. My husband had a female coworker who was obviously flirting with him and he wouldnt stop talking to her. I left him for a couple of weeks and we went to therapy and are stronger than ever. But I'll never forget that awful feeling of being a fool 😢
Emma Thompson top
What does he say after she outs him "God I'm so ...... a classic fool" ? Is it, "over her" ??
I think he says “I’m so in the wrong”
Aww live it ❤
So, I love Selena Gomez in the same way she loves her favorite singer. Selena is actually the one who helped me better my self-esteem.
I would see the CD as in he paid attention with what I said about my favorite artist. Even though we know he was cheating, the assumption of the necklace not being for her just because she opened the CD is a bit of a reach. The necklace could be for his mother or sister.
My point is that if you don't mention a nice necklace, but you see one, but it isn't for you, that isn't because he's cheating.
no wonder Selena is your idol. you are obviously not understanding anything about love, fidelity or sharing a life. hope you develop yourself and grow emotionally.
I agree. He sees the love with his wife as steady, and the girl is a flash. He probably thinks she'd forgive him for being foolish. Then he realizes he's made her a fool as well, and he hadnt even considered her at all. It's not like sneaking a cookie on a diet.
He was way over his skis with Emma……both women, probably. Emma is 200% class and stunning, too.
Quand la confiance est partie ....tout part en fumée 🌬️🌬️🌬️
C'est ça, je connais la situation
Oh, yes, a Christmas film, adultery, stalking, betrayal, yes real Christmas themes, goodwill to all men.
Very sad..
❤
Rickman was a fine thing
poor nanny mcphee....
Creep...made poor Emma cry.. which in turn made me cry..and I'm a hairy chested alpha male type that shouldn't be crying in front of his family!!!.🤣🤣
It didn't worth travel here from FB video clip Of MR.Bean Gift wrapper to Find out he is cheating on her at TH-cam.😮
Who's Karen talking about when she said "Cold english wife"?
herself.

Guess what me too. I'm so upset I don't know what to say xx
I still feel awful for her cause her real life husband did this to her in 1994 😢😢
😢❤🌹

This is why people should never, EVER get married.
Wow ☹️
And think of the disease he could've gotten.
The first indication we have that Harry is a boar is his distaste for Joni Mitchell.
About 10 years ago or more i hated Mia for almost breaking the family. Now i'm watching and it's like "how on earth you could blame her?!" Imagine this man as yr boss OMG
I'd LOVE him as my boss ❤❤
@kesy1897 oh, so immoral behaviour is ok when they're attractive? Got it 🤦♂️
Not a movie I would want to suffer watching...but yes I guess she is a good actrice, he was a good one too. Too much attention to self-pity or stupidity?
Serves her right for marrying a slytherin
Weird to listen to heike speak english
Very good accent
Oh, how I hated him!
Ružna mu je i žena i ljubavnica.
"Opasnnnica",dobila ogrlicu.
