Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing - Part 4

The Village (2004) - Ivy Walker & Lucius Hunt

When we are married, will you dance with me? I find dancing very agreeable. Why can you not say what is in your head?

Why can you not stop saying what is in yours? Why must you lead, when I want to lead? If I want to dance I will ask you to dance. If I want to speak I will open my mouth and speak. Everyone is forever plaguing me to speak further. Why? What good is it to tell you you are in my every thought from the time I wake? What good can come from my saying that I sometimes cannot think clearly or do my work properly? What gain can rise of my telling you the only time I feel fear as others do is when I think of you in harm? That is why I am on this porch, Ivy Walker. I fear for your safety before all others. And yes, I will dance with you on our wedding night.

Como já comentei outra vez, "A Vila" é o filme que menos gosto do M. Night Shyamalan. Ainda assim acho que o roteiro é muito bom e sem dúvida essa é a melhor cena do filme, emocionante!

Abraço.

So sweet! For all its faults (and there were a number in The Village for me at least) the speech was often very poetic and wonderful. Why can't people speak like this every day? Why do we feel the constant urge to abbreviate and disembowel our sentences?

What's interessting is that when this movie first came out, I found myself the only one who liked it, and peole just criticized me. Now I find so many people who - like me - love it. Shyamalan is genious and this is a beautiful film, in structure, sound, estetics, ensemble and fascinating in it's personal story of love, society and violence.

Great Romeika!

Ciao!

ps: Thomas Newton Howard is brilliant!

You don't have to ask.
We aren't friends,
we're lovers. When the music
starts, I expect you to dance
with me. When it stops,
I'll walk back to the table
with you, lean against your shoulder
and cry because I'm afraid
of the silence.
Don't fill the silence
by asking me to dance again.

Love is a many splendor thing...

Otavio Almeida said...

A cena é sensacional, Romeika! Shyamalan é um gênio. O problema é que nós dissemos isso e ele acreditou.

Ou seja, espero que THE HAPPENING não seja um LADY IN THE WATER.

Bjs!

Diana Coronado said...

It's on my list of next movies to watch

Pedro Henrique Gomes said...

Adoro esse filme também, e faço das palavras do Otávio, sobre Shyamalan, as minhas.

Abraço!

Debbie Shiamay said...

Beautiful words!

Romany said...

I love this movie!
They are such a cute couple.

It wasn't the greatest film, but it certainly had its moments. And Bryce Dallas Howard looked lovely..

is that a quote from the movie? oh...it's a wonderful quote. im going to copy it down in my quote book.

Somehow, I found out what the twist for this movie was before I saw it. I think that was actually a good thing since my expectations weren't all over the place. And I really loved this scene. It struck me as so close to how many men & women approach love.

ATF said...

Otavio, eu gosto de "Lady in the Water", mas tb tenho minhas duvidas quanto a "The Happening". Nao gosto do Mark Whalberg, e o trailer nao me impressionou muito. Mas ainda tenho minhas expectativas, afinal, sou uma fan do Shyamalan. Bjs!

Cotton Candy: yes, it's from the movie, you can see it on the video. ^.^

Ambika, I also saw it coming, but it wouldn't blow it for me even if I didn't, as there's more about his films than unexpectated ends or thrilling moments (like the film was wrongly sold). For me it's all about love above all, and it seems that for u too?

Miss Scarlett: Gonna check it soon! kiss back!

Thank you for the comments! Sorry for the delay on answering.. and for the lack of posts.

Ashe said...

I must add you to my blog reader, as you combine two of my favorite things: cinema & fashion! Lovely. It's nice to see the diversity and personalization.

Meg said...

I loved Lucius's character in this. I'm into silent men =)

Now the weather is turning nice, and you don't have time to blog anymore? I can't wait for winter again.
I'm just teasing you. I wanted to say hi and give you a hug today.

Romeika said...

Ashe, it's always nice to find a new reader that enjoys both of these subjects!! hehe

Meg, and Joaquim Phoenix gives such a great performance:-) But I'm not into silent men, or silent people at all haha

Seraphine, I know, sorry for the lack of updates:-( But the sunny and warm weather has a little to do with it, indeed.. I spend my indoors time mostly at school, or at home, studying danish for example.. I know it's a long day (it gets dark around 10PM now), but you just wanna enjoy the outdoors as much as possible. I'll try to change this situation soon! Hugs back:-)
