@TheHundizhang I think what they're trying to explain is that they were both in love and both knew the other returned the love, despite neither of them ever saying it out loud or doing anything that was improper by the standards of the time (and those were some strict standards, let me tell you). So basically, their thoughts and feelings were automatically in sync, they clicked, they're freaking soulmates, man!
I've never seen anybody look uglier when they smile. Usually a smile makes people look more attractive but it's the opposite for the governess. She looks prettier when she doesn't smile.
i think the 2 women are both present in the scene for the simplest reason that jo has to see the passions that move them.and he makes his choice.on on one side,his wife(her moustache just went off),on the other side the austrian girl(such a bad tooth job/is that 2002 in gb ?)lol
This scene was done so much better in the 1967 version. And that Jo was so brilliant. At least he showed some emotion. This guy is like a wooden statue. Even the governess annoys me, while the original Fraulein was....nice, I guess.
I realize that Young Joylon is supposed to be a decent man. But sometimes I get the feeling that he can be rather selfish and self-absorbed. Could he have at least faced his wife, without his mistress in the room? Jesus Christ!
And what's wrong with the governess? I think she's very pretty. Don't be too hard on Jolyon. His marriage was one of convenience and it's not like he kicks his wife out of the house. She remains in the family and gets all the comfort, has no financial worries, and she keeps her child (not very common at that time). He's the one who leaves everything behind and loses everything. Leaving his child isn't the best thing he ever did and yes, it was his choice, but it's not like it was an easy one.
Love Rupert Graves. He is the main reason I started watching this saga. I have already finished watching it, and it was amazing. The whole story through the generations is wonderful and you really feel all the emotions the characters go through. Well worth the time to watch. Take a weekend and you won't be sorry.
nd thats why u send ur kids to boarding school. lmao im kidding but rele this was down right cruel. the governess is weird lookn anyway like shes strange.
I thought the reason why he left his wife for the governess, was because he was told to marry his wife. He and his wife did not love each other. I think that is right.
@missbabyice idk, his wife kinda seems... well... snobby.
I think he's just being modern and frank. Happiness was hard to come by, and the wife is focusing to much on herself and what society would think about them. (Lies and restraint, or love and rejection from society)
@missbabyice personally i would leave that old drip of a wife of his but i would find some really sweet and HAPPY girl that made me happy not that governess ick. . .shes so gloomy and bleh
Young J, you don't have the mistress standing right next to you when you tell your wife you're leaving her. That's just cruel.
Gotta say, he doesn't come off well in this scene. It would have helped if he sounded a *wee* bit upset, at least about leaving his daughter. As it is, his "I am soooo sorry" sounds like a teenager apologizing for forgetting his girlfriend's birthday.
Honestly, they could show their affection without THAT way of kissing ... on the lips and all that. Anybody can love anybody and would hopefully be able to show it by cuddling, holding hands, linking arms or even kissing on the head or on the cheek. People's idea of love seems to be restricted to same species, similar age, opposite gender and not related, and with a silly idea that you can only love one person.

Marriage as complicated as it is, was so much more complicated when money, social standing and one's very existence were so openly entwined with it.

Come on! Would he really leave his wife for that gormless drippy governess? She's like a cross between Jane Eyre and Richester's mad first wife.
