I haven’t seen anyone else mention this. Why the nosebleed? Was this in the book? Maybe it’s because I have a bad history with nosebleeds, but for me it was uncomfortable and ruined the scene where Knightley professes his love.
shareSee Moonglum9's thread " You're not quite human, are ya ? " below for a possible explanation of the nosebleed.
I hated it. It wasn’t in the book and it just seemed a weird thing to put in there. Be that as iy may, I interpreted it as a moment of lost control. Emma, who spends the whole film trying to engineer the love lives of her friends, loses control in the one moment where romantically minded Emma would never have imagined losing her composure.
Here is the director’s comments on it:

Thank you for an answer that's not from a troll...lol This version of Emma has become my favorite, but the nosebleed ruins that scene for me. But that explanation does seem to make sense.
