Beautiful song dedicated to Ivanhoe and Rebecca. Ivanhoe and Rebecca's not being able to be together is what makes this story so moving. I love the self control and resignation they showed for the sake of honor. AA and Olivia carried out their parts so well. I love every scene with them in it! If you watch carefully every AA scene, his acting is always so subtle, to the point, but never exaggerating. And of course, sexy to the core.
I personally do not find Rowena that attractive, but I am a straight woman so maybe my opinion is nothing. I am just going to say I was Rooting for Rebecca before the movie was over and she didn't end up with him. She risked more, and I get the impression Rowena just sat there and pouted, and I did not like her hair at all but that's not really her fault. I am sorry but I am NOT a fan of Rowena. Rebecca all the way.
I have always resented Rowena for not being brave, stand up and do her part to save her love instead of just sitting there, waiting for him...
Rebecca, though... SOME woman! The COURAGE! The BEAUTY!
Ivanhoe was MAD to let her go.. even though fond memories of her remained in his heart until the very end of his days... (One of my fav movie lines ever...)
Lovely movie. Anthony Andrews.. I had such a crush on him thanks to his film....
Beautiful! Another film I must get now to feed my A.A. obsession - it's only on vhs so didn't want to buy it but looks like a must-have movie. Maia, you're videos are priceless.
Believe me, I´ve had the exact same problem! Since I was little, I´ve been treated to this movie on the telly every Christmas, until recently it stopped. Wish they´d hurry up and put it on DVD already...!
I don't see why not. His true love was Rowena who was his childhood sweetheart and to whom he had promised he would be devoted. Rowena had been faithful to him for years. Knights at that time didn't usually break their word of honour because they found another woman so Ivanhoe shouldn't leave Rowena because he met Rebecca.Yes Rebecca is beautiful but Rowena is pretty too and very young. In the first chapter of the book it is mentioned that Rowena was famous for her beauty throughout the land.
Plus, Rowena understands Ivanhoe much better than Rebecca who comes from a different culture and you can see in the book that she tells Ivanhoe that she doesn't understand all this fuss about gaining honour by killing someone etc and Ivanhoe basically answers that this is because she is not one of his people and she doesn't know how they think. So in my opinion Rowena is a much more suitable match for Ivanhoe.
hmm but I thought Ivanhoe only likes Rebecca as a friend :P (he only loves Rowena)...why did he kiss Rebecca then ? ( so envy of Olivia Hussey hehe)

Ivanhoe is a scruffy illiterate saxon tosser. Bois guilbert is the real champion a norman knight of strength and charm.
