Haha Jane and Frank are right there giving their "secret looks". The Eltons look so miserable. All the while Emma and Knightley light up the room. Just beautiful.
This dance scene is just incredible in more ways than one.
I just eat scenes like this up where the actors/actresses don't even need to say anything they just say it all in their face/actions. Aaaaah think it's why I love dance scenes in period dramas so much
0:44-48!! i actually fell in love with this scene. The dance is so sweet and romantic!! God I wish i lived in them times where there would be dances you would learn for the balls and gentlemen would maybe ask you for the dance. Now days its all grinding and all crude. I was born in the wrong century.
@Felidae08 very true! lol but if i was very rich and lived in the countryside...and had the choice in who to marry...and didn't get ill.. it wouldn't be so bad as long as i was ignorant of what we have today :)
after watching this scene for the millionth time, i couldn't help but notice how awkward jane fairfax dances at 0:46! LOL
it doesn't help that she's paired with the tallest of all the men, while she's the shortest! maybe they're meant to contrast with the perfect match (mr. knightley and emma) =D
you can feel the vibes going between them... the intensity is simply amazing ! Jonny Lee Miller's Mr. Knightley eclipses Collin Firth's Mr. Darcy for me !!
Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, what do they know of beauty and romance? This is both beautiful and romantic beyond compare! You cannot get anything more beautifully authentic than Jane Austen's novels, and all are so moving!
@raverhead I don't think it really was like this! Jane Austen never got treated this well by a man. She created these amazing, loving people out of her own imagination, which really touches me.
I have bought the duble dvd in january. Since I ve seen it ~5 times. Then saw the original 4 english epizod. Great novel, fine scenario, directing, site, excellent characters. Romola Garai is beautifull. Perfect Music.
Unfurtunatelly from the hungarian version altogether 11 minutes and 33 seconds missing. Mirax didnt take it to the published film. Its not just entertaning but full of great value (importance of marriege, love, sincerity...) Thanks BBC!!!
i am still so obsessed with these scene. it's been a while since i originally commented, but i still think of how magical the acting is and how the scene came together. i love this so much. i think it may be the most romantic scenes i have ever watched.
Don't tell my husband, but I'm a little in love with Jonny Lee Miller, and have been since Eli Stone. Colin Firth's Mr. Darcy was my "dream suitor" until I saw this version of Emma, and now Jonny's Mr. Knightley has shot into first place.
I am 24 now, and I first saw this series (and this SCENE) when I was 23, last year. I haven't stopped appreciating the perfection of it ever since. I will never forget this scene until the day I die :') The dynamic between these two characters is simply beautiful, without any other word necessary to describe it.
"..Oh so enchanting, beautiful and I am all a flutter, I must go and sit by an open window and fan my person, surely the vapours cannot be upon me, for I saw a Doctor only last evening..." *Swoons yet again*
This scene is absolutely beautiful. Great acting from both of them. I can feel the attraction and chemistry. It doesn't hurt that they're both good looking :D
this adaptation is absolutely amazing!!!! i even like it better than the last one with gwyneth paltrow!!!! Johnny lee miller is such a great actor. ..
Here I am again... sighing and wishing it were me instead of the gorgeous Romola, who is dancing with the equally gorgeous |Mr Knightley... Johhny Lee Miller reall does 'knock yer socks off', with his lovely smile and dimples, and the flickering of his lovely eyelashes... *sighs and fanning frantically now*
"...For to be sure I knew how it would be, the vapours were upon my before my first draft of punch.. . I must sit and watch the assemble from a position by an open window...." LOL :0)x
Esta adaptación me parece maravillosa es bastante fiel a la historia original.. aunque la actuación me parece pudo ser mejor... no dudo de que johnny lee miller es un excelente Mr Knightley!!!
I love this scene! In the beginning, she's giggling like a little girl who is nervous/excited. By the second half, she's looking at him boldly straight in the eye, and he's the one who is having trouble keeping eye contact! It's so brilliant!

@azngrl318 ... Not sure of the name of the music, but the 'tune' is played at the start of Emma and also at the end where Knightley takes Emma on honeymoon... wonderful indeed... :0)x
gosh, this is so perfect! his eye flicker, her sincere look, both realising they are falling for the other one...ah, if life could be like an austen novel! ;)
beautiful, really. i showed my best friend this clip. she doesn't know a thing about jane austen or about this movie. she watched this and knew exactly what was going on between these two, and was touched. that's how expressive, sincere and beautiful this clip is <3
I have the music as the ringtone on my phone, I miss calls just listening to it. This is what life should be like !. I think Romola Garai is wonderrful, fabulous stuff.
Exquisite dancing and my heart has near burst from my chest... Lovely, lovely and lovelier still... *swoons into near-by chair*... Beautifully acted and the realization between them both as the dance progresses... Oh did I say this was lovely.. :0)x
This is such a lovely adaptation of Emma. I didn't care for the Paltrow and Beckinsale versions, but this one was fabulous. Romola Garai was wonderful, and Jonny Lee Miller was absolutely gorgeous. This is such a beautiful scene. I pretty much fell in love with Mr. Knightley while watching this series. :)
This is THE scene of this adaptation. It's magical. Also, I have found that this version of Emma is better and better every time I watch it. Jonny Lee Miller is perfection, in this and all of his roles I always feel like he has put thought into his character. And Romola Garai is a delight. I could watch this over and over again.
no this is " the last dance" . "The Seaside" is the song in the final scene where he takes her to the seaside. the two songs are very similar, but this is "the last dance"
this was the most beautiful dance and my favorite song. thank you so much for posting this. i have never felt so much emotion as seeing this footage and hearing "the last dance". the dance is so romantic and intimate. the way they move in and away from each other, and then when they embrace the arms above the head meet each other drawing them closer together...so romantic. that is how to fall in love.
One of the finest dance scenes ever. Just wonderful. The whole serial is a delight and worth watching over and over. This scene and the proposal scene in particular. They would bring out the romantic in anyone. An enchanting production.
Watch the dance scene in the film of Mansfield Park (also starring Johnny Lee Miller), just as delightful. I think you might like it, it is on You Tube.
Both of them look so sincere: it's like watching Emma's subconscious self falling in love at this very moment, while Knightley becomes more convinced of the fact that he loves her.
I think this a definite contender for one of the most romantic scenes ever! I must have watched it twenty times (and squealed like a teenager each time!) .
I absolutely adore the betraying eye flicker at 1:37. Brilliant acting from Jonny Lee Miller.
What a shame, I was hoping they wouldn't do remake of Emma for a long while when I'd be old enough to play the role of Emma, lol. That's always been a dream of mine heh. Now there is a less chance because they aren't going to keep making remakes :P
It's nice but I prefer the dances in the 1996 version with Gwyneth Paltrow
Is that the guy from Mansfield park playing Mr Elton? He's far too cute to play him XD I don't like it when they use the same actors for different movies coz if I like an actor playing a character then I see them in something else, I just see the original character the whole time
This guy looks too young for Mr Knightley. Mr Knightley is meant to bea 16 years older than Emma....
I find it funny that in the book, Emma has brown hair, but ever since Clueless in almost all the other Emma adaptions, the character of Emma has blonde hair
oh... I could be wrong... I just remember reading the book and reading that she had brown hair and that Harriet smith had blonde..... I'm not 100% sure though
yeah I always thought her character suited blond XD. mainly because I saw the movie with Gwyneth Paltrow before I even read the book, so my image of her was already decided
Emma is said to have hazel eyes, but no other physical descriptions are given except that she has 'regular features, open countenance, the bloom of full health, a pretty height and size, a firm and upright figure'.
wait what?! this guy here is 37 in this movie? omg i thought he was like... no more than 30. At least late twenties... It's most-likely due to lights and make-up though...Him and the girl look quite close in age I think, too close for the characters of Emma and Mr Knightley
LOL! He's too much of a gentleman to actually do that, but I get the feeling that at this point if he did, Emma would have let him. With that lighting, that music and Mr Knightley looking at you like THAT, who could resist? ;-)
do you think though that when emma tells her friend that she will marry mr knightley instead that she goes running from the room in the gwenith paltrow version is better than how they did it in the bbc version?
I absolutely adore the piece of music they're dancing on.....The actors are so talented and this scene is wonderfully done! The dance slowly turns into a shy, unspoken declaration of strong feelings.....It's something more than love is a perfect harmony between two people.
Could anyone find the name of the artist and the music? It's wonderful and I would really like to have it and listen to it more....
the soundtrack has been released on december 1 it came out you can get it on itunes i wanna get it but don't have the money this really is the best version of emma.
i think everyone will agree with me you can see the emotion better in everyone and i love mr knightley looks you can tell he's in love with her
I love the clip as well! just wonder if BBC will publish the soundtrack of the drama. The music is so lovely.. I cannot stop smiling when I saw the clip..... :D
this is definately my favourite dance scene from any austen adaptations ! the music is just heavenly + knightley looks just GORGEOUS especially when he's looking at emma all nervous. just love it.
What a lovely understated romantic scene. It beautifully done by both RG & JLM and you can see how it subtly changes from just a dance between "old friends" into a dance of "something more" and a slow awareness creeping into their `ship! Lovely!
I can't stop watching this scene. It's my favourite ball/dancing scene of all the costume dramas I've ever seen. Absolutely beautiful and stunning. Romola and Jonny are my favourite Emma and Knightley since this adaptation. Well done, BBC!
Is there anyway that you can post the entire Episode 2 for those of us who don't reside in the UK? It is so painful not to be able to see the complete episodes.. this is by far the best version of Emma released
This is so superb you start thinking that Romola and Miller are actually in love O__o

I think this a definite contender for one of the most romantic scenes ever! I must have watched it twenty times (and squealed like a teenager each time!) .
I absolutely adore the betraying eye flicker at 1:37. Brilliant acting from Jonny Lee Miller.
Thanks so much for posting this video!

@fantassissimo i couldnt agree more with you! it is a very "simple" scene yet you can perceive all the unconfessed feelings between them!

What a shame, I was hoping they wouldn't do remake of Emma for a long while when I'd be old enough to play the role of Emma, lol. That's always been a dream of mine heh. Now there is a less chance because they aren't going to keep making remakes :P

It's nice but I prefer the dances in the 1996 version with Gwyneth Paltrow
Is that the guy from Mansfield park playing Mr Elton? He's far too cute to play him XD I don't like it when they use the same actors for different movies coz if I like an actor playing a character then I see them in something else, I just see the original character the whole time
This guy looks too young for Mr Knightley. Mr Knightley is meant to bea 16 years older than Emma....
anyway this still looks like a nice movie

I find it funny that in the book, Emma has brown hair, but ever since Clueless in almost all the other Emma adaptions, the character of Emma has blonde hair

brown hair? i read the book and I don't remember if they talk about her hair.... jane I know

oh... I could be wrong... I just remember reading the book and reading that she had brown hair and that Harriet smith had blonde..... I'm not 100% sure though

i dont know , i had always imagined emma blond!!!
childish , happy and blond :-)
extrahornytina 2 years ago
yeah I always thought her character suited blond XD. mainly because I saw the movie with Gwyneth Paltrow before I even read the book, so my image of her was already decided

Emma is said to have hazel eyes, but no other physical descriptions are given except that she has 'regular features, open countenance, the bloom of full health, a pretty height and size, a firm and upright figure'.
However, I too imagine Emma as a blonde.

I just looked it up, and the actors are 10 years apart. I think Johnny Lee Miller looks very young for a 37 year old.

wait what?! this guy here is 37 in this movie? omg i thought he was like... no more than 30. At least late twenties... It's most-likely due to lights and make-up though...Him and the girl look quite close in age I think, too close for the characters of Emma and Mr Knightley

LOL! He's too much of a gentleman to actually do that, but I get the feeling that at this point if he did, Emma would have let him. With that lighting, that music and Mr Knightley looking at you like THAT, who could resist? ;-)

She's so perfect as Emma :D This version is so much better than the Gwyneth Paltrow one.

@katrinalindley
do you think though that when emma tells her friend that she will marry mr knightley instead that she goes running from the room in the gwenith paltrow version is better than how they did it in the bbc version?

Why is Mister Knightley dressed like a cobbler? :( And Emma's hair is rather contemporary.

I absolutely adore the piece of music they're dancing on.....The actors are so talented and this scene is wonderfully done! The dance slowly turns into a shy, unspoken declaration of strong feelings.....It's something more than love is a perfect harmony between two people.
Could anyone find the name of the artist and the music? It's wonderful and I would really like to have it and listen to it more....

Stephanie8920 2 years ago 9
What a lovely understated romantic scene. It beautifully done by both RG & JLM and you can see how it subtly changes from just a dance between "old friends" into a dance of "something more" and a slow awareness creeping into their `ship! Lovely!

It's been composed for the series by Samuel Sim who did the music; I think the BBC have released a soundtrack, but I'm not sure.

I can't stop watching this scene. It's my favourite ball/dancing scene of all the costume dramas I've ever seen. Absolutely beautiful and stunning. Romola and Jonny are my favourite Emma and Knightley since this adaptation. Well done, BBC!

Is there anyway that you can post the entire Episode 2 for those of us who don't reside in the UK? It is so painful not to be able to see the complete episodes.. this is by far the best version of Emma released
