@34RiverStone I agree. It may have worked out for Marianne and Colonel Brandon--mostly because Wiloughby (totally spelled his name wrong) was an ass and Brandon genuinely felt love for Marianne--but it's just wrong in this case. What's even weirder is that Mr. Bell was her father's friend. But I get that he's a little lonely...I just wish that he didn't pick Margaret.
"... She had just the same look on her face...." I must admit, this actress seems to have only two expressions, positive, and negative. When she's sad, gelous, distressed, she has the SAME look. Bleh.
margaret would it have KILLED you to look back at him?!?!?!! .....then again, seeing how the course of events in this film have transpired, i can see why she'd think it might.....lol
You're supposed to be her GUARDIAN, Mr Bell ..... not angling for marriage and a quick shag!!! Be off with you; and take ur pyjamma trousers with you!
Not easily impressed, but you really can see his eyes go from hope to longing to utter despair in the beginning of this. Somebody paid attention at acting school.
How very good of Mr. Thornton to not hate Margaret after all he thought she had done! And why, why on earth didn't Mr Bell tell Mr Thornton that her reasons for the Frederick/Station misunderstanding were quite honorable?
yeah, terrible. it's like he already envisions a future without her. married to some woman he doesn't love and still thinking of margaret as the one that got away.
I hate how Margaret blinks and she never seems to make eye contact when she's speaking to someone. It's like she's constantly stoned because her eyes roll around in the sockets, half way blinking and staring out into nothingness. The actress needs to fix that acting behavior because it drives me nuts and I can't think of anything else but that.
GAH! Can there be any more profound words than the words John Thornton utters?! "Look back ... Look back at ME" Guh, called me gut-wrenched and in love. Why doesn't she look back, damn it! Richard Armitage delivered that scene to perfection. He really is the perfect John Thornton. Love the music too. And Mr. Bell! lol! He's such a riot.
@EverlastingxHope If you haven't read the book yet, do! I actually read it recently, but it's one of my favorite novels now. The characters are just so intensely real, and the ending is beautiful--slightly different to how they ended this series, but really fantastic. The series does the book justice, I think :)
If she had looked back, he would have done the whole romantic-run-through-the-snow-after-the-carriage-to-kiss-her-and-propose-again thing. Then, the movie would have ended 20 minutes early. Sigh, the emotional edge this film keeps us on.

Ironic that the Mr. Bell's magistrate is Thornton.

Oh my goodness! "Look back. Look back at me." Why didn't she look back!!! Was it because she though he was going to marry that other girl? I know she likes him now!! Why didn't she look back!
I like BBC's depiction of Mr. Thornton. I wasn't sure exactly how to envision him when I read the book. They got it perfect, because I absolutely love Mr. Thornton here. The book doesn't exactly let me in on the smoldering eyes and absolutely hotness that is absolutely the making of Mr. Thornton. But that's how I wanted him to be.
When he said that, I realized that all this time, whenever Margaret walks away from Thornton, she always looks back. But NOT this time. Man, I love that scene.
I like Mr. Bell, he has balls of steel, I guess that what you do when your dying, no time to pussy foot ! Mr. Thornton has won me over he rivals Mr. Darcy I have to get this book and movie.

Everybody keeps saying that Mr. Bell is a creeper, but I actually really like his character. He really cares for Mr. Hale and Margaret and it really wasn't that unusual for a young girl like Margaret to marry an aging man like him. After all, just look at Fanny and her husband. Even she admitted he was "grey". There's something about Mr. Bell that's super mischievous but also caring.
This girl refused Mr. Thornton. Do you seriously think she'd even CONSIDER you? Miss Hale has high standards, you must understand, you CREEPY OLD DOG YOU.
However, your checked trousers are quite legendary.
at 5.30, I always think of the lines from Pride and Prejudice; 'I can't stand to think he is alive in the world, and thinking ill of me' or something to that effect :)
@fabziepie Doesn't also remind you of some lines in Breaking Dawn where Edward said, "I couldn't live in a world without you in it?" "Something to that effect." lol Did't think of the PP reference tho'. Interesting. Thanks. :)
Mr. Bells idea is kinda...eeeeeewwww...weird....telling mr. hale that hes seeing after her when he dies and then with marriage, come one, old hag, you re much older than her and probably dying next month, what should she then do?!
If I would be in that situation I would have taken Henry or John. No one else..but as shes in love with John(and me btw,too) mr Thornton is the right man.he was and is the best man I`ve ever seen in my life.
@EverlastingxHope It's afreat read if you're used to books like Jane Eyre or Pride and Prejudice. The film has significant differences in the beginning (when they meet) and at the end. I lfeel that the changes they made actually improved the story.

The book is absolutely fantastic, it's one of my favorites. An absolutely captivating read- Gaskell has quite a way with words. I didn't think i'd like it better than the TV series, but it is absolutely better!
@EverlastingxHope Overall it's satisfying because the characters are so much richer and she tells the tale well in mesmerizing language, but it was more cumbersome for me than, say, Jane Austen, because the dialect was so difficult to decipher and remember, even with a glossary in the back, and all the classical allusions at the beginnings of the chapters slowed things down. Some of them even had little to do with N & S. Also, Margaret's beauty was overly rhapsodized. The end's worth is though!
@EverlastingxHope I read it before I knew of this miniseries and I enjoyed it. It is clearly a different story than, say, Pride and Prejudice, but by the end I really respected the author and what she had to say. It kind of makes Pride and Prejudice seem frivolous or something, but they are both good. :) I got different images of the main characters in my head than what I see in the movie. I think that I liked my Margaret a little better than this one. You'll have to tell me how you like it!
@EverlastingxHope I myself loved the book because of the tension between Margaret and Thorton and the build up until the end. Some of the characters are different in the book but it's still a great read.
@EverlastingxHope : I'm reading it right now. It proceeds quite a bit slower than the film; there's a lot more narration and loads of long dialogue. BUT you get a better understanding of why she refuses him the first time, as well as more info about their perceptions of each other. There's also a deeper analysis of the role that religion plays in various characters' lives, including Bessy and Higgins. I still love the film and I'm convinced that the screenwriter did an outstanding job.
@EverlastingxHope the book is awesome. i will not give things away. and even though the beginning was kinda slow and hard to get into it is worth getting through it and to the parts with Mr. Thornton.
How can't help but wonder what would have happened if she did look back... Anyway I was screaming it the whole time. And was very disappointed when she didn't lol. He loves her still... Sooooo much! And she's starting to realize she loves him too!!
@mo95261 I don't know if you've read the book or not, but the book shows that they both felt attracted to each other right after they first met. But she let her pride get in the way, not wanting people to think that she did what she did at the riot so that Thornton would feel grateful to her. But yeah, I think she only knows for sure that this is love at the end, when she hears of Thornton's misfortune.
I've been trying to figure out what he said @0:18- @0:22 for the longest. OMGosh thanks for telling me. I'm so happy he still had hope. It also show that even he had noticed up her pattern of taking a second look after she would leave him. LOL I love this show.

@SakuraX7 So do I. He's blunt but with good will and has a lovely sense of humour. And I always admire the way he reacting to Margaret's "rejection" of his offer and the grace he showed in the face of death. And of course, his trying to let Thornton know Margaret's feeling for him. Love Mr. Bell.
LOL "Yes, well, I am your God Father but I had hoped to marry you, anywho, I'm dying, and, by the way, everything I own is yours. TA TA!" The way he threw out three traumatic things into a two minute conversation was hilarious! Mr. Bell, you old dog! She's like "WTF just happened...ew pedophile!"
It's so wrong and uncomfortable seeing her in 'the south'. It just shows how this series has been so good, and how, as a viewer, I've really travelled through the story with her :) And that old guy's so nice - it's a shame he's dying and all - but eww he actually thought of marrying her. Sorry but you don't really have a chance against Thornton old man XD ...
She looks back at all the wrong times in the rest of the movie....WHY DOESN'T SHE LOOK BACK HERE!!!!! I was SO mad at her for hurting him the first time I saw this part.
What is this idea that for some one to proof they like u then they have to look back when they walk away. I mean the way they look at u should be a enough proof.
hmmm..I wonder if Margaret is wearing black to mourn her father or to mourn Mr. Thorton..I never noticed this before. But suddenly she looks like she belongs in his world.
Such wonderful acting in the moments he's watching her drive away. You can see the dim hope, then quiet heartbreak, disappointment in himself. His judgement of himself is too harsh!
I know the feeling of going back home and seeing it how it was but knowing it was not real. Its a happy sad feeling, maybe peaceful is the word.

@EverlastingxHope I myself loved the book because of the tension between Margaret and Thorton and the build up until the end. Some of the characters are different in the book but it's still a great read.

@EverlastingxHope : I'm reading it right now. It proceeds quite a bit slower than the film; there's a lot more narration and loads of long dialogue. BUT you get a better understanding of why she refuses him the first time, as well as more info about their perceptions of each other. There's also a deeper analysis of the role that religion plays in various characters' lives, including Bessy and Higgins. I still love the film and I'm convinced that the screenwriter did an outstanding job.

@EverlastingxHope the book is awesome. i will not give things away. and even though the beginning was kinda slow and hard to get into it is worth getting through it and to the parts with Mr. Thornton.

How can't help but wonder what would have happened if she did look back... Anyway I was screaming it the whole time. And was very disappointed when she didn't lol. He loves her still... Sooooo much! And she's starting to realize she loves him too!!
mo95261 1 year ago
@mo95261 I don't know if you've read the book or not, but the book shows that they both felt attracted to each other right after they first met. But she let her pride get in the way, not wanting people to think that she did what she did at the riot so that Thornton would feel grateful to her. But yeah, I think she only knows for sure that this is love at the end, when she hears of Thornton's misfortune.

I've been trying to figure out what he said @0:18- @0:22 for the longest. OMGosh thanks for telling me. I'm so happy he still had hope. It also show that even he had noticed up her pattern of taking a second look after she would leave him. LOL I love this show.

@SakuraX7 So do I. He's blunt but with good will and has a lovely sense of humour. And I always admire the way he reacting to Margaret's "rejection" of his offer and the grace he showed in the face of death. And of course, his trying to let Thornton know Margaret's feeling for him. Love Mr. Bell.

LOL "Yes, well, I am your God Father but I had hoped to marry you, anywho, I'm dying, and, by the way, everything I own is yours. TA TA!" The way he threw out three traumatic things into a two minute conversation was hilarious! Mr. Bell, you old dog! She's like "WTF just happened...ew pedophile!"

It's so wrong and uncomfortable seeing her in 'the south'. It just shows how this series has been so good, and how, as a viewer, I've really travelled through the story with her :) And that old guy's so nice - it's a shame he's dying and all - but eww he actually thought of marrying her. Sorry but you don't really have a chance against Thornton old man XD ...

Such wonderful acting in the moments he's watching her drive away. You can see the dim hope, then quiet heartbreak, disappointment in himself. His judgement of himself is too harsh!
