How he looks at her hands as she pours him another cup of tea and his expression as there fingers barely touch.
It is the subtly of his performance that makes Richard Armitage a compelling actor to watch on screen.
Mod
Thanks for the offer, Arch. :)

--Stereotyping is pretty lousy across the board. My apologies for not being more perceptive about those in this movie. I was paying more attention to the horse aspects more than anything.

No worries, Danielle. I don't want to sound like I'm always singing the same tune either, but it jumps out at me because I'm so close to the subject. The horse was cute though. ;)
Mod
Definitely, Brenda, always appreciate subtlety and that voice doesn't hurt either. ;)

As she waiting to meet with him for first time you hear the music softly in background then she gets up and opens the doors and this beautiful music begins as she enters the workroom, music combined with the sounds of machinery as she slowly moves along, stops, looks up and catches her first sight of him.
Also when she is walking back out into yard she turns to see someone who later find out his mother watching her from a window. Once again the music is an important element here.

Thanks, Danielle. :) Yeah, RA completely upstages Robin, LOL.

It brought the movie to my mind so strongly. It was really suited to N&S and the emotion.
Mod
Brenda you impress me with your keen observation and your sensitivity. I am not just ciphering you when I say that I felt the same way about the music. I actually thought about trying to find the soundtrack.
I also think the soundtrack for Pride and Prejudice (KK) is just gorgeous. It was on last night and I love listening to that music.
Mod
For some reason I can watch the Bad Boy and Lethal Weapon movies over and over. I love them. I'll even admit to the Grease movies. I know all the songs.

With PP it is also the realistic setting of the time period that also makes this movie one of my favorites.
I love the scene at sunrise when he ask her to marry him again and you see flashes of orange and gold light as she takes his hand and brushes her lips across his bare knuckle. Very moving scene.

Oh, yes. I love those moments in P&P. I love how you could see how in love with Lizzy Darcy was, although he didn't want to be. I love the end scene where he keeps calling her Mrs. Darcy. Sigh!!!!

Also forgot one on my list. Strange Days. I'm kicking myself cause that's one of my big favorites. Angela kicked major butt and Ralph Fiennes never looked yummier.

Oh, I'm SO looking forward to next month. I love it because of all the paranormal and (old) horror themed shows and movie marathons. Back when the Sci-Fi Channel wasn't having an identity crisis, they used to have Dracula week, Wolfman week and all those old movie marathons. Now TCM and the Travel channel is where it's at. :-D

How could I like it, man? Another cartoonish depiction of the ME? LOL. "Don't shake my hand. I'll lose my fortune-telling power." And of course the princess wants to get away from her repressive culture, blahblah. Even without all the stereotypes, it was pretty cheesy. LOL.
