I believe this to be my favorite scene. The acting's just splendid. But then again the acting's amazing thorough the entire miniseries.
The way Mr. Knightley looks at Emma.. JLM convinces us of his character's love for Emma by nothing more but the blinking of his eyes. The most perfect Mr. Knightley ever! And Emma's laugh contains all the subconscious feelings she has for him.
I can't imagine they'll ever top this and I don't expect it either!
I just had to float in and watch with my fan rapidly waving across my person... This just makes my whole body tingle... I am in raptures once more and no doubt in deed of a Physician once more... I really must be sitting too close to the fire again, for it truly cannot be because Mr Knightly fluttered his eyelashes towards me... *sighs8
@wenglishsal ... My goodness.. an error occurred.. my fingers will not do my bidding at all... How can this be so, I must concentrate harder...
BUT I do so get distracted by Mr Knightley's splendid form and countenance as he sashay's past my person... Indeed tis true, every word I type, I am all a tremble because that splendid man has captured my heart... *swoons once more* :0)x
From 0.41 to the end of this clip... I have THE biggest grin plastered all about my face.. I now go off to work filled with happiness and wonderful visions in my head, the tune will sustain me till 10pm when I finish on check-outs... *phew long day awaits me thinks* :0)x
@trilingual28 ... All of it apart from the 'check-outs' part I will wager... EMMA just makes me really happy, the little looks, eyelid flickers, dimples, soft voice.. All of it just turns my inside to a mushy mess... 'But it is so lovely... the music sends me into raptures I must say'.. *I', getting all old fashioned in my language again*
Best of regards to you from Wet and grey Wales today :0)x
Why can't there be men like this anymore? Seriously guys start taking notes! I think everyone will agree with me when I say that I'd marry Knightly in a heartbeat !
I absolutely LOVE THIS SCENE! I favorited it right away; my aunt and I absolutely adore this version of Emma, we keep watching this and the proposal over and over and over and over...
Really a very beautiful scene- love Emma here with innocent giggles, her look- and Jonny lee Miller- is there anyone like you in my part of the world? Beautifully delivered, that love in your gaze- it did make this scene so much more romantic, and sweet. Will treasure this.
I absolutely LOVE this scene! Almost more romantic than the proposal! And what's so ironic is that though it's not obvious, Frank Churchill is actually dancing with Jane Fairfax (1:03-1:05)!
I said to my husband while watching the Mr Knightley / Emma dance that here she falls in love with Mr Knightley but doesn't even realize it. What a beautiful scene.
@jules no no no! why has he been going over to Hartfield since page one? maybe you are right about "realizes" but they have loved each other for a long time in fact in the book he says (I think) since she was 13 (that was OK then) but it is lovely isn't it!
yes i so agree with you! and i thought jeremy northam was perfect for the character...can you recommend any romantic film with Johnny Lee Miller on it? i would soooo love to watch it!
@RachSaysHi .. Mansfield Park 1999 ... So we will let the most gorgeous Jonny Lee Miller off, he was after all slightly younger (10 years) as Edmund Bertrum he was a shy creature... And destined for the clergy too.. Mr George Knightley does make my heart swoon and beat a little faster in my chest.. Lovely indeed... *sighs happily and watches again* :0)x
@scrambledpenis I'm pretty sure you're joking but, for the record, American standards of male beauty are basically built around the British male. And I'm saying this as an American. It's in our blood :-)
Ohhh Johnny Lee Miller how I love you so...

Has anyone else noticed that when they step on the dance floor, someone on the background says: "Oh! Mr. Knightley (dances..) with Emma!" ?

If I had to name my all time favourite scene in any period drama, or in any romance, this would almost certainly be it. Just exquisite.

LOVE IT! This is by far my favorite version of Emma! I love it when, at 1:40-1:45 they get closer! I love the look on his face! (sigh) :]

It's amazing how much goes on during these dances...subliminally, of course.

I do believe this is the time knightly actually realizes he's in love with emma and with emma herself just the stirring of realization.

A very nice video. I like this dancing. Emma (Romola Garai) is a very beautiful woman. I like it to see her.

I love how Mr.Knightley bristles over who Emma will dance with, only to find out that she wants to dance with him. :D Makes me smile.

this is the best adaptation of Emma. I love Johny lee Miller as Mr. Knightley. His face and eyes can express all feelings without saying anything.
