This is a great example of a lovely romantic film. The eventual falling for each other is so translated on screen it is amazing to behold. Just magical.
Are there any movies you recommend that are similar to this? I heard that The Constant Gardener is also like this?
What is your beef?
Love that as well...so sexy. I feel in love like that once.
shareHave you seen The Piano?
shareI agree - what a love scene! He rescues her from the nationalists gang that day, willing to fight them to defend her (before being rescued in turn by the guard), grabbing her hand and escaping to home via the river in a somber ride at dusk, both emotionally shaken, he then goes for whiskey (presumably to bring back to share with her). He delays, she hears music, curiosity gets the better of her and combs her hair and changes clothes. Catching him in relaxed, opium-influenced laughter with equally influenced Waddington, his attempt at dignity, "Oh, hello darling" and the girlfriend thrusting the drink at her, Kitty downs the whiskey in one long draught not to show she's tough or anything other than as eager as they are to forget the miseries of heat and hardship and to get drunk as quickly as possible to get this party started! Walter gets turned on watching the languid dancing of the girlfriend, Kitty enjoys somewhat of a relaxed flirtation with Waddington, hearing his sex-laced reference to meeting his girl. The stage is set for one explosive night of desire and sex for each couple. As Walter says early on about something else entirely, "Right on time!"
