Atonement - Clip - A Letter for Cecilia

[mabrebezi]

volim te, Robi.

[saliri20]

The song is from the opera "La Bohème" and its called "O Soave Fanciulla"

[princesspeach2486]

amazing.

[MoveOverCasanova]

.. very sad, but realistic, though it really could have been worse -- hitler had a secret passion for england, and so he let them get away at dunkirk only with a little kick in the ass. if he wanted, he could have slaughtered them utterly, it was all at his will what happened there. but he still hoped for agreement at this time. this great book shows the atrocity of war very intensly and touchingly!!!(i loved his mates, when they made fun of Rob--"looks, he´s seen another crumpet again!!")

[martinkun167]

He had hoped for an agreement because he wanted to direct all his attention toward the Soviets, who he wanted to eliminate for a long time, and who he knew would be the most difficult to defeat.

[kazoomboom]

I LOVE THIS! They belong together... This movie is so sad. I cried at the end when you get to hear the "truth" about what happened. So sad.

[oppenheimersain]

[janesigur]

[tootiepnewman]

Sorry , I shoulda looked at previous comments first. my bad.

[tootiepnewman]

anyone know the name of this song?

great job by the way :D

[movi3srock]

wait what is the song? lol

[katsklaw]

lol nice editing

[hanz3797]

wait..what does he kiss?

[icecoldrita]

The word missing from the clip is her 'cunt.' It was removed from this clip which was released online before the movie itself was released to theaters, but it's very much so in tact in the film.

[vervege]

This is performed by Jussi Björling, Victoria de los Angeles and The RCA Victor Orchestra

[ajvox]

good video!

[heavenhelpus1311]

i love his laugh! especially when he looks over his shoulder. Talk about dreamy! lol

[janesigur]

omg me to!! i love his face.... he's just PERFECT

[8ohlala8]

I love james.. so mad when briony went and screwed it all up, him adn keira look good together

[mormonGIRL15]

yeah this is a great scene. it's hilarious how he gives the wrong letter to brione lol

[xoxoPriya33]

WTF where's the cunt part??

that's the only reason i watched this clip!

[icecoldrita]

This was a promotional clip that was released *before* the movie came out anywhere, so the cunt part must've been edited out.

[helday37]

she's such a good actress.

and this is a great movie.

[L4Losr]

I <3 this movie. the first time i saw it was with my aunt and seven year old cousin. it was very very... um... interesting :D:D

[mirabel1996]

i love this movie! i saw it with my mom the first time. akward.

[puddinpop12228]

My favorite scene in the entire movie!! I love the music! I love how the camera cuts back and forth to each of them. Truly cinematic!

[chntltoto91]

do u know what the song is called

its not on the soundtrack

[chntltoto91]

found it sry guys!

But i can't find the same version... does anyone know where i can get it?

[puddinpop12228]

I found one that is similar on youtube try typing this in: Jussi bjorling & Anna-Lisa Bjorling - O soave Fanciulla

[oskippy2604]

I thought that letter was so freaking hott...Just reading it would make me feel complete ecstasy ...especially if james mcavoy wrote it...

[crazy4beatles]

lol I thought the same exact thing! I have a thing for guys with an accent, so imagine ;)

[QG3]

This always reminds me of a perfume advert.

It would, of course, be the best perfume advertisement in the world with such an exquisite combination music and images. Keira Knightley really is astonishingly beautiful.

[FlittchenT]

can someone tell me whats the meaning of cunt. sry i jst have english in my school lessons xD

[FlittchenT]

omg. :o

Oops. i writed it in the google translater. lol.embarrassing.embarrassing.­haha

[Renfeildette]

Cunt means chatte in english, basically.

[brannja]

If I got either letter,

i would have been in love.

[DrSpamMD]

this is my favourite comment on you tube

[brannja]

my comment is your fave? why, thank you.

[sycohoochi]

Marianelli's scores always amaze me (specifically his 2 with Joe Wright), but the use of this aria in this scene-- and in this movie was brilliant and completely moving. I think that even if you don't know the story of La Boheme, your emotions will be affected. For me though, having read the book and also being familiar with the opera, it was a highly emotional scene with the combination of the two together-- knowing what happens to both pairs of doomed lovers only magnifies the tragedy.

[Atelbie]

La Bohème, O Soave Fanciulla.

[Dzidka56]

Does anyone know what the opera piece being played is called and who sings it?!

[kellyb4]

O soave fancuilla from La boheme like Atelbie said. I am pretty sure the wonderful singers on this particular recording are Renata Tebaldi and Jussi Bjoerling. Recorded around 1956 which yes I know is after the movie takes place. Whoops! You can't slip anything past some people. I still adore the movie anyway!

[kellyb4]

Like Atelbie said above, la boheme. I am pretty sure this particular recording is from around 1956 with the great Renata Tebaldi and Jussi Bjoerling singing. Actually recorded after the movie takes place. Can't slip anything past some people. I still adore this movie though!

[Pepsi10279]

is this da edited version

[CarolineTodd]

One of the most beautiful scenes in the whole film. Gorgeous.

[baguetteisthebest93]

ha

ha

love

this

scene

funny

[queenie0106]

why?

[baguetteisthebest93]

because when he just writes the letter...then lauggs..

[jolieh07]

questo film mi e' entrato in testa e non se ne va piu',lo vidi a Londra e ne comprai libro e colonna sonora,dove pero' non c'e' questa del clip..troppo bello e triste..peccato per la scena dei cavalli,lo so che e' un fatto vero,ma io lo avrei evitato..

[sidonie3]

James is a brilliant face for the screen.

[Orbster25]

Yes very...He just knows how to take a character and make him believable. I admire actors like that. He's so funny when he writes the letter...even though it is his demise.

[shmanya]

i love this song so much

[Dzidka56]

Do you by any chance know what that piece is called?!

[shmanya]

no... but i'm going to find out!

[Dzidka56]

I FOUND OUT WHAT IT IS!

It's in my favourites

Can't remember exactly what it's calle

but, it's something like o suavo fulliciano?

Something along those lines.

[shmanya]

can you tell me the exact name? i searched "o suavo fulliciano" but couldn't find it :(

[Atelbie]

It's O Soave Fanciulla, first act of La Boheme.

[MrsMcAvoy]

this man is so adorable...no wonder that he is already married... :(

[jolieh07]

what does he say?I can't get it!

[aperfectsonnetx]

he says "in my dreams i kiss your cunt", haha.

[hufflez]

Yay!

Someone else has read the book before seeing it!

[stephibobz]

[jolieh07]

[wadagirl]

I did not hear any word..

[cc776]
