Ten reasons to adore Emma Thompson

[tichie33]

what was the song right at the beginning??

[khm1968mo]

She was married to Ken and made fabu films got divorced and continued to make and WRITE great films!!!!  My Faves are Dead again and Peters Friends, and as trelawney, and nanny mcphee....oh hell even her version of the cancer peice is good, and that film with will farrell, and i LOATH will farrell.

[EdgyXD]

Can someone please tell me the name of the piece of music at the beginning of the video. I wasn't specific in my first comment, apologies.

[EdgyXD]

I am familiar with the piece of music in the background, and I love it, but I can't think for the life of me the name of it. Would you mind telling me?

Wonderful video btw.

[a35362]

Your music keeps drowning her out, unfortunately.

[ajivins1]

You should check her out in her early comedy show 'Alfresco' with Fry and Laurie. Also, she was very good guesting on 'QI' with Steven.

[ProNorden]

She really is a sort of 'study in attractiveness'.

[CharlestonStyle29]

What song did you use for the intro and end of the video? Loved the video btw :)

[julianamercy]

I cant understand what she is saying...

[missineichen]

i wish i had emmas personality. if i did id be the most popular girl at school lol

[missineichen]

she is awesome. very funny lady

[saphique]

my new feelgood youtube clip :D

[babaroga73]

Could You get background music any louder in order for us to not hear entirely what shi is saying ?

[sssc6092]

IDAGF that I'm 18.  A girl. Totally straight. And that I have the biggest girl crush on Emma Thompson. A 52 yr old bad ass!

[hindsgaul93]

Emma Thompson is really one of the most talented, funny and clever people that exists, so I truly love the video you have made in her honour.

[AmidTheFallingSnow]

@hindsgaul93 Thank you! I agree, she is such a generous person, and I admire her for her honesty and her empathy for others, as well as her clever humour. :)

[Tigerlily21]

She wasn't very nice about Audrey Hepburn!

[LittlPussi]

Pretty, funny, classy and the best actress of her generation in the world. I need only four reasons. Even when all the reasons you mentioned in the vid are true too.

[AmidTheFallingSnow]

@LittlPussi She's too adorable for words, really. Maybe I should just make a video with all her adorable moments put together instead of coming up with several categories for her adorableness (I hope this is a word in English :p ). We'll see. This one needs an update anyway. ;)

[LittlPussi]

@AmidTheFallingSnow Sounds like a good idea! :)

[mandrake2273]

Emma Thompson is a brilliant, funny, and beautiful actress!

[EdgyXD]

That was brilliant! Well done, t'was amazing thank you for uploading this video!

[AmidTheFallingSnow]

@EdgyXD Thanks for watching! Emma deserves more tributes on YouTube. ;)

[EdgyXD]

@AmidTheFallingSnow True that!!

[Nostradormouse]

Hah!

The joke's on you. You don't need a reason to adore Emma Thompson...

[AmidTheFallingSnow]

@Nostradormouse I guess you're right about that. :D

[jerrythebard]

Nice tribute to a talented woman.

Thanks for taking the time to make this and share with us. I think the music is wonderful.

[AmidTheFallingSnow]

@jerrythebard Thank you so much for watching! There's another one coming up once I get around to finishing it. :)

[moochy]

Emma Thompson is a goddess!!

[Ariane67]

A SO well deserved tribute to this amazingly gifted actress and woman - thank you a lot ! ^_^

[AmidTheFallingSnow]

@Ariane67 Thank you so much for watching, I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it! I really should make a new one soon and edit it a little bit more carefully this time. ;)

[sm21454]

I do love when actors don't take themselves too seriously...but I love it even more when they're so serious ABOUT making sure they don't take themselves too seriously. Emma Thompson is one such actress - she's so talented and makes me laugh so hard! Kudos.

Excellent video! I especially liked her entrances and her freakouts.

[AmidTheFallingSnow]

@sm21454 Oh yes, that is a huge part of her appeal to me (besides her general amazingness in everything she does)! She certainly knows how to have fun, and it's never about making someone else look bad, like so often with certain stand up actors or public figures, but is more about finding the humour in every-day things. :)

[Catapult82]

i can't hear anything she's saying

[cuteffagal]

As if you need more than one. great video.

[Mccnuget]

This is the first collage, editted, music thing you youtube people do that i have ever liked.

Amazing stuff. Pure talent.

[AmidTheFallingSnow]

@Mccnuget Oh wow, thank you! I had some trouble with the poor sound quality of some of the clips I used, so sometimes the music is too loud. But otherwise it was a fun video to make, and I hope to make something else with Emma soon again. ;)

[pretzelberg]

@ AmidTheFallingSnow

What's the music at the start?

[AmidTheFallingSnow]

@pretzelberg It's from the Angels in America soundtrack.

[pretzelberg]

@AmidTheFallingSnow

Thanks. I indeed thought it sounded like Thomas Newman's work.

[AmidTheFallingSnow]

@pretzelberg You're welcome! It's such a great score. I find his music very inspiring.

[Liz86000]

She is so great!

[hachilovesnana]

It really is hard to top Emma Thompson on a scale of awesome.

[p8alan]

LOVE Emma Thompson

[railroaded1000]

Where are the 10 reasons to adore Audrey Hepburn?

[AmidTheFallingSnow]

@railroaded1000 Someone should definitely make a tribute to her. I think it would be fairly easy to find ten reasons to adore her! :) (And it's good that Emma Thompson clarified her earlier comment about Audrey and worded it a little better. I didn't think she would critisise Audrey the person because she shares the same interest for humanitarian work and trying to make some difference in this world.)

[annapuppe]

She is super! Nice video, I love to hear her real voice and not the dubbed one, since I live in Germany and hardly get the chance to listen to her originally!!!

"Love actually" is my favorite and since I have the DVD I can even see/listen to it in English!!

[SelahKumani]

I LOVE HER! Love this video as well...

[meredithchandler73]

I love Emma Thompson and my only complaint with this vid is that the background music is so loud sometimes you can't make out what Emma is saying! But Emma is AWESOME.

[drfoxcourt]

Not that we needed any reasons beyond she is absolutely wonderful, but thanks for 10 more.

[newbirth17]

Emma is the best.

[latindancer4ever]

She is absolutely fabulous!

[AmidTheFallingSnow]

Thank you for the comments and for continuing to watch this video. I'm sorry about the music being too loud, I did realise that after I had already finished the video editing process and couldn't change the audio level anymore. Since then I've hopefully learnt more about video editing, so the next tribute will be a little different. ;)

[NixorX]

She's so witty! Or, at least, I *think* she is. I can't really hear anything she says in this video, because the music is so loud. Nice try, though.

[Lucretiusgr]

Very nice video, but please lower the volume of the background music!

[fadoob]

good video except the music is way too loud and really unnecessary. I couldn't hear what she saying

[felipetwist]

I love Emma Thompson!

[KulturschockKoeln]

To bad, the music is way too loud for not native english speakers ... sorry

[lulunznz]

I loved Emma Thompsons performance in Love Actually. Everyone I show this too, who has been cheated on, ends up with tears streaming down their faces. She absolutely nails the scene when she finds out her husbands cheating.

[barrymorestreep]

10?????? and 11,12 ,13,14,15 .......................1000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­0000 reasons

[AmidTheFallingSnow]

@barrymorestreep Yeah, you're right. Though that would have been one heck of a long video. I'd like to see someone do that, though. ;)

[run26]

0:47 to 1:35 is hilarious!

Emma is so charming and so entertaining.

Funny and witty and so full of talent on many levels.

She is an absolute joy to watch.

Loved her in "Stranger Than Fiction"............

[LemmeLieHere]

I would have loved this video... if I could hear what she's saying. Work on your editing skills. Meanwhile, I'll go watch somebody else's Emma Thompson videos.

[SamDLite]

Be nice if the music wasn't so loud that you can't hear what Emma is actually saying....

[simplyfra93]

Emma Thompson is the best actress ever! She's got beauty, humour, intelligence, originality, an unquestioned talent at acting and writing screeplays (like the adaptation of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility, which absolutely is my favourite...<3), and many other things I could not write in here 'cause there wouldn't be enough space...there's no one like her!!

Thanks 4 posting this video, it's really nice!!! I've really liked it!! =)

[StephanieSmith92]

Loved it!

[MissKilman]

I'm sure I would like this video so much better if I could hear what she's saying over the music.

[83annak]

OMG, she is sooo amazing, love that...thanks for the upload, made my day!

[josecent7]

Delightful

[EastCoastDude]

Emma Thompson is a brilliant, beautiful woman. Thank you for posting this, ATFS. Ya gotta love her, well, I do anyway. Emma Thompson = fantastic.

Thnx again.

[metube12]

I LOVE her! Probably one of the funniest actresses out there and her meltdowns always make me cry. Fantastic lady!

[Bettiina90]

This is definitely one of the best Emma Thompson fan vids I've ever seen. Thank you for posting!

I wish more people would realize just how perfect this woman is in every possible way.

[AmidTheFallingSnow]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you like it, it was lots of fun to make. There were enough funny Emma clips for a sequel as well, I just haven't got around making it yet. ;)

[gagothesith]

"Brilliant"? Yes.

"Perfect"? No, not after her signature on the petition supporting impunity for the child rapist-movie director. (Although she did subsequently redeem herself by withdrawing her support.)

[TheCharly56]

Utterly adorable...

[5brumla5]

She's just fantastic!! I love her movies, especially Last chance Harvey :)

-> by the way, what is the name of the first, second and third song, I love them!!

Ps, sorry for my English, I'm Belgian...

[AmidTheFallingSnow]

@5brumla5 I love Last Chance Harvey too. :)

Um, let's see. First song is from Angels in America, second song is Another One Bites The Dust by Queen, third song is by Scissor Sisters I think. It was used in Love Actually anyway.

[5brumla5]

Thanks :D

[Ollieglam]

one of them sounded a lot like 'jump' by pointer sisters

[FlewMary]

amazing work :)

that was fantastic ;) I liked the music at 0:27

btw. what is the name of this song ? :)

[FlewMary]

Sorry, I mean the music at 2:27 :P

[AmidTheFallingSnow]

Thanks, glad you liked it. :) At 2:27 it's Queen and Another One Bites The Dust. ;)

[wietjee]

@FlewMary Queen, another one bites the dust? what'd you think of that? never heard of it?:O!

[FlewMary]

@wietjee , I heard that a 1000 times,, but I never knew the singer ;)

[MauraTierney]

she is fantastic, really good video!

[ZhoZhaal]

Music was too loud all through the video, and also it's a bad idea to splice a song with very clear talking with a video where you're trying to hear what the person is saying. Just tips for the future, the opening was very pleasing.

[AmidTheFallingSnow]

Thanks for the tips. The problem was that the sound for some clips was very low, so it became a bit of a challenge to try to find music that wasn't too loud. But I did realise afterwards that the music should have been tuned down more. I usually make videos just for one song so this one was an experiment of sorts. ;)

[seabury]

how did you get the clips for the letterman interview where she has the shorter hair and the sparkly dress on? I've been looking for a copy of that interview for ages! Also the Ellen one in the black dress...

[alternativemusicguy]

So funny!!!!!!!I absolutely adore her!

[Arshabyn7]

+ her performance in The Remains of the day, Sense and sensibility, Howards end, In the name of the father,...



Emma is the best!! a great person, very funny, inteligent and a fantastic actress.

[kaseryn]

Lovely video with a worthy subject. You need to do a Hugh Laurie one though ;)

[saprissa30]

11 she is so HOT

12 She is the Best actrice that ever exist

[Vherna86]

@saprissa30 13 she is the wittiest,most intelligent actress I've known..

14 no particular reason she's just adorable

[streepilicious]

Excellent ! Emma <3 WE LOVE YOU !

[Lafleurdebitume]

SHE IS THE BEST!!!!

[bastianskaye]

there's only one link to those interviews available now. :-( i've looked for the letterman interviews, and can't find them!

[mattkris2007]

Shes hilarious. By the way the music is a bit too loud

[splinksplink]

too loud, it should be half to one quarter the volume.

[flugel76]

@mattkris2007 nonsense, I could hear Eric Idle just fine....

[sgupta4]

Gotta a total girl-crush on her!

[93Hondax2]

how do you not love emma?

[kubanking]

I'm afraid that's quite impossible.

[AmidTheFallingSnow]

I agree. She makes it very hard not to adore her. ;)

[actressinny]

Excellent!Great job.

[p8alan]

Awesome video  I LOve Emma shes great

[rlvs91]

what is the opening song?

[AmidTheFallingSnow]

The very first clip of music comes from Angels in America. The whole soundtrack is absolutely beautiful.

[schnoopi]

Sadly the links in info box (or whatever it's called) don't work....anyone has the vids??? Would love to see them but cannot find them here....

[AmidTheFallingSnow]

Aw really? That's such a shame. I really only upload videos I've compiled together, but I hope they emerge here somewhere soon (if not, I might make an exception in this case).

[elvedemonen]

Sha actually has a small resemblance to Jessica Biel. ..in looks.

[xMyEmpireonlyx]

I lOve Emma Thompson she's so down to earth and has a awesome sense of Humor

[storybellz]

That's everything i thought but was afraid to say! I would marry her too!

[NachoNess3542]

Emma is a genius

[Caffrinka]

OH my GOOOD, she is sooo beautiful, and funny, she is crazy, what a great video :)

[Steolicious]

sweet

[AmidTheFallingSnow]

Thank you! Go Emma! :D

[tostilicious]

really blistering fintistic!!!

[ginnypinnydfjs]

fintisticly fintistic!

[missboulay]

She's so great and talented and funny and... and so unfair cause the rest of us are not! God, I hate her for being so good at being Emma Thompson!

[CarinaF13]

And geez... Will she ever 'not' make me laugh? hahah, I love her!

[CarinaF13]

Oh my goodness this is absolutely "fintisitc"!! (lol) Gosh I A-D-O-R-E Emma to bits and pieces and LOVE this video so much! Thank you for sharing it with us. She is such a fabulous person and it's a huge pleasure having her to look up to. She's a blessing!

And geez... Will she ever 'not' make me laughing? hahah, I love her!

[AmidTheFallingSnow]

Thanks for watching! Yes she's quite amazing, isn't she. :)

[NotaFro]

I really do like her! She's fabulous!

[AmidTheFallingSnow]

Thank you so much for all the comments, everyone! It's great to see that so many people adore Emma Thompson like I do. :)

[gemmasasha]

I like her very much too. One of the few actresses I like nowadays. She is such a lady a good actress. I wish she had neve broken up with Kenneth. I think they were fabulous when working together.

[mirrenstreepdeneuve]

OMG THIS VIDEO IS AWESOME!!!! thank you!!

I love her so much!

And not because I'm french but the entrance she did at the Césars was one of her best! lol

[AmidTheFallingSnow]

Thank you! Haha, I do agree with you. I was so not expecting that. :p Unfortunately I couldn't understand much of what she was saying with my school French, but I gathered so much that she's absolutely fluent in French and keeps cracking jokes just like in her mother tongue. Admirable.

[MissT681]

Jenni, you nailed it! Wonderful video!

Although I'm sure we all here could think of more than just 10 reasons to adore Emma... :-)

[AmidTheFallingSnow]

Oh yes, most definitely! I found out that she was too funny for just 3 minutes, but then it was already too late to change the concept of the video. ;) She's a woman of many sides and interesting thoughts. There will be some more videos coming later when I have time to work on my ideas. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[alicetheactress]

FLIPPIN' FABULOUS! Just like Emma herself...

I screamed in english, when our teacher said we'd be watching Much Ado About Nothing, no one understood why but my teacher just went "she's brilliant isn't she?" :)

[margrethowards]

Love the video! She is fabulous!

[riskchris1982]

That is definitly some of the reasons why I adore her too. She cracks me up:-)

[ldellis65]

God, isn't she wonderful!?!  I'll never understand why everyone isn't madly in love with her.

[storybellz]

That's the problem...i think probably everyone who knows her is, and those who aren't don't know her! I would soooooo want her as a partner for life, her husband is a lucky guy to have her to himself, although i think she's might be up for sharing (^_~) She just seems like she'd be a lot of fun, even behind closed doors, if ya get my drift. Anyway, this is certainly one of the best tribute videos i've ever seen, if not THE best! Shows us just how lovable Emma really is! <3

[KerryMATE]

Loooove it, Jenni! As usual it's an amazing video! Gosh, I just love her.

[AmidTheFallingSnow]

Thanks everyone! Emma is a lot of fun and I hope the video was able to show that. ;)

[firefly390]

get a life

[je3rowe]

Yayyyyyy! Love Emma Thompson! HILARIOUS chick that she is! Fantastic video as usual! Thanks for the laugh! :)

[kitnkabootle]

I love Emma sooooo much. This video was excellent as usual doll! Keep up the amazing videos!

[Teezer44]

This is so funny! I noticed u have clips from Emma and ellens interview, can u please upload her interview as there isnt a full one on Youtube. Emma on ellen. Thank you

[AmidTheFallingSnow]

Aw, I'm sorry to disappoint you but the only clip of the interview I've seen is the one that is currently on YouTube (the one with some minutes cut off now and then). I posted the link in the description of this video, so you can find it there. There's also a video of her just pole dancing on Ellen, so I was delighted to find this longer one. I only wish someone would post the whole thing without any cuts some day. :)

[liliarodbe]

craking up laughing so hard dang shes funny all the time he he

[seeinggreendots]

Cool !

[lausilv]

Thank you so much for this video. I love Emma! She's the best!! Funny, beautiful, talented, smart,...
