I agree, he would be a perfect Rochester... though William Hurt was perfect enough for that role in Zeffirelli's Jane Eyre... anyway, I do love this song (and the movie, of course) and I wonder if anyone can tell me the meaning, which maybe you take for granted, for I'm italian... thanks!
I liked Alan Rickman as an actor before this -- whether playing a Bad Guy (Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves; Die Hard; Quigley Down Under); a Good Guy (however rarely) and/or Comic Relief (GalaxyQuest; Dogma).
That said, I think this scene is a brilliant piece of acting - all the more so because he doesn't say a word. But Rickman still gets the audience to believe that they are watching Cupid hit him over the head with a 15 lb. sledgehammer. (Never mind those dinky little arrows.)
Alan Rickman = most charismatic actor ever and the sexiest too if you ask me (despite him being 42 years older than me and born the same year as my grandmother!)
Kate Winslet = the most talented and beautiful actress I know - if any woman would make me go gay, that would be her.
So in short - this movie was bound to be perfect!
@Skylikeday If you haven't purchased the DVD from Amazon.com ( the 25th annv. ed.) I highly recommend too do so. You'll enjoy it for the summer with your family. ( include " Pride and Prejudice ", both together is outstanding !!! ).
There was a time when I had never seen this movie, and watched Alan Rickman play some very unsavory characters, like in Die Hard, Robin hood, and Quigley Down Under. When I saw this movie, the look on his face when he listened to Kate sing made me burst into tears! I thought him to be sexy to begin with, but now ....<3
kate winslet really pulled it off in my opinion in this scene. Her piano is great and she has a lovely voice. No wonder Brandon is seduced with a voice such as hers. I could easily sit myself and listen to her for quite a few hours.
Love this scene. The way he looks at her. And how Elinor or Emma's character just figures it out right away, but is very discreet the entire film about it. This movie so good, we all can learn lessons from it.
God knows how many times I've re-watched this part. I love it soooo much...That was my first time when I saw(!) a man, falling in love with a woman from the first sight. Alan Rickman is amazing!
You need to look at the Kate Winslet's character which Col. B is falling in love with. Not like a lot of women today with their junk hanging out all over for the attention. Women in those days were not driven by vanity, 'celeb' fantasies and the media and magazines. So a woman of her character would make any man stop in his tracks in amazement of her beauty.
I like the show, at first she doesn't appreciate him (he was the 'older' man), but in time she matures too and sees the difference between him and willowby. And I'm glad she woke up and grew up to see it too:D>
This is one of my favorite films of all time. Great acting, great cinematography, great directing, great screenplay ( for which Emma Thompson won an oscar). Just perfect. P.S.- Be sure to listen to Emma Thompson and producer Linsay Doran's commentary after watching the film. It's very interesting and informative.
Is it wrong to pause the video ever they do a close up on his face and pretend it's me he's looking at?? Because the look on his face just melts my heart. *sight*
some of them are. but almost all women giva shit because they perceive them as boring. just as she does. she only takes him when it becomes clear beyond any doubt that willowby is an asshole. if he wouldnt been so stupid she still would love to shag him and continue making fun of coronel brandon. it is sad and depressing but the truth.
Alan Rickman is the best!!! This a great entrance, that not a lot of actors can do! We see Alan Rickman for the first time, but during one minute, he doesn't say a thing, and there's just his presence that we feel! Only with his face, he makes us understand why he is here, and how he will feel about Marianne (who is incredibly selfish!)
Colonel Brandon is my favorite character, and Alan Rickman is my favorite actor, and man!
Alan Rickman is perfect for Col. Brandon's role...if I were Marianne I would have chosen him from the very beginning, he's mature, intelligent, sensitive and so sexy!!
this scene is second only to the part where colonel brandon saves marianne :)
i want a man to look at me like that while im singing, as a singer this is the most romantic thing ever to me because not only is it her beauty, but its her passion for the song...and of course her beautiful voice :) so sweet
I normally don't allow myself to watch a movie before reading the book...but Alan Rickman is so amazing an actor (and MAN) I can't. I HAVE TO SEE THIS. NOW.
I love this scene as well. I love Marianne's voice!! I also love the fact how Colonel Brandon's eyes look when he first hears her voice! BEST MOVIE EVER!
Ooh *swoons and sighs* Col. Brandon (The ever gorgeous Alan Rickman) I would melt by his feet... And when he read to Marianne at the end... Oh MY God, melt city.... Wonderful indeed oh happy me :0)x
I love this song :) does anyone know where I could get sheet music for this version? I have one version, but it is a different arrangement and in the wrong key :(
haven't even seen the whole movie. just saw this scene and fell in love, just like snape. i'm literally listening to this over and over and over. wish it were on iTunes!

I like Alan Rickman (colonel Brandon), he is a great actor but I did not like the fact that he was just to old for this role. Colonel Brandon was supposed to be 35 while Alan Rickman (born in 1946) when he play Colonel Brandon in 1995 was 49 year old.
15 Years diference for this role it's just to much.
I liked him as Colonel Brandon! He's so sweet and caring. I wasn't really convinced that Marianne liked him though. I felt so bad for him with the whole Willoughby thing. He's ten times the person John Willoughby will ever be! I'm mad they gave hugh grant all the credit. He looked like an awkward twelve year old. He's such a pretty boy
oh ah.... snape in love........ interesting! hes gone blonde for this too..... wouldn't it be interesting if you had both characters in a room and told them they were the same person.....
@bunbun5877 LOL! So funny! Not the same, but in your old age, you'll find it endearing. Very rarely does it happen like in the great romances we read and see in movies.
@crazeyiba I lowered it by five half steps, which should be the key of E flat instead of A flat like the sheet music. I think that's right. ;-) It matches up with the movie from what I can tell.
@krissyburjan Only if your "real life" is the paranoid, media-created fantasy of a fearful world that so many people live in today. It's the result of 24/7 "news" coverage of mad killers as though they were lurking behind every bush. Such a media-driven "reality" has created a world of fearful people who crave intimacy but distrust anyone who reaches out to them for fear that he might be -- gasp! -- a serial killer.
I would love to have a man feel that way about me. The problem is that in real life if a man looks at a woman that way chances are good he's some sort of sicko or serial killer. Col. Brandon doesn't exist in real life unfortunately.
Just when I thought he couldn't get any better... <3

@bunbun5877 LOL! So funny! Not the same, but in your old age, you'll find it endearing. Very rarely does it happen like in the great romances we read and see in movies.

I have learned that the fleeting effections of the mind does not quite resemble the true earthbound love.
But who says you can't have both?
Never stop dreaming!

What key does Kate sing this in??

@crazeyiba I lowered it by five half steps, which should be the key of E flat instead of A flat like the sheet music. I think that's right. ;-) It matches up with the movie from what I can tell.

I completely agree. Who the hell needs the Willoughby's of the world when the Colonel Brandon's are so sweet, devoted and in love.

I agree, i would love to have a man feel that way about me, too bad it's only in fiction.
In real life if a man stares a woman like that he's a serial killer.

@krissyburjan Only if your "real life" is the paranoid, media-created fantasy of a fearful world that so many people live in today. It's the result of 24/7 "news" coverage of mad killers as though they were lurking behind every bush. Such a media-driven "reality" has created a world of fearful people who crave intimacy but distrust anyone who reaches out to them for fear that he might be -- gasp! -- a serial killer.

I would love to have a man feel that way about me. The problem is that in real life if a man looks at a woman that way chances are good he's some sort of sicko or serial killer. Col. Brandon doesn't exist in real life unfortunately.

@RhettKButler So, basically, frown and look bored? But where do I get the dandy costume?
