- Karen (Emma Thompson) is left shocked and brokenhearted when she realises her husband (Alan Rickman) gave a gold necklace to another woman for Christmas.
Love Actually (2003). Nine intertwined stories examine the complexities of the one emotion that connects us all: love. Among the characters explored are David (Hugh Grant), the handsome newly elected British prime minister who falls for a young junior staffer (Martine McCutcheon), Sarah (Laura Linney), a graphic designer whose devotion to her mentally ill brother complicates her love life, and Harry (Alan Rickman), a married man tempted by his attractive new secretary.

Aww! you left out the most heartbreaking bit - the part where she dutifully straightens up the bedcover and then puts on a bright smile to head back out to her children. Gets me every time
The dignity of a lady who loves her own husband and her own family so much, that she will suffer in silence for the sake of Christmas magic.
You are born a lady. It's not something one can learn.
Yes the end of the scene where she gains control and then puts on a cheerful façade for the children is heartbreaking as you feel so much sympathy for her but also fills you up with total admiration of her because of her strength. It is a private moment of understandable personal breakdown followed by a mothers astounding public strength for her children.
That's a Mom for you.
It's heartbreaking
@@Helga7850men love these type of doormat women
Someone pointed out something poignant about this scene that stuck with me. He thought hard about what to get his wife. Knowing that she would have only expected her usual scarf, he decided for no reason to get something more special as well for her. A CD from her favourite singer, something that she would really Iike and appreciate. Look at his face when she opens it, he has genuine pleasure thinking of how happy she was going to be. Whereas he literally picked out the first pretty thing he saw for his secretary without much thought or effort.
He does love and understand his wife, deep down, as opposed to his superficial attraction to his secretary. That makes it worse in a way, because he's doing something he knows will hurt someone he really does love, over someone he doesn't actually care about.
This is so often the case, it's seems so ridiculous. One of my father's old school buddies chased after this woman he was lusting after until it finally happened, he slept with her and a while later his wife found out and promptly left him. The crazy thing is he really loved his wife and kids and they loved him, yet he threw it all away just to sleep with a woman he barely knew, which he told my dad years later "wasn't even close to worth it".
Sad that so many people sabotage themselves.
For someone who loves his wife, he does make her suffer an awful lot.
He couldn't care less about his wife. She means nothing to him
Unfortunately, men are more flattered by the approach of women as opposed to women. Women are flattered but accept it as compliment and more on, men get flattered, flustered and immediately start thinking with the little head.
Love is complicated.
Weirdly enough if he didn’t buy the necklace for his lover the CD would’ve been a really thoughtful present
Look to the lyrics. Her making the bed…the lyrics.. all pointing to her staying and being somewhat unhappy. Putting on a show. He put about as much time thinking of the necklace as he did the cheating. ‘I’ll have that’. Just like the Secretary. He’ll have that. Without the thought, security and presentation of the ‘Christmas box’. Gosh I like Rowan Atkins. Just one look and I’m laughing before he even says or does anything knowing he will be so funny in a moment. Can you eat candy after all those spices added to the ‘so much more than a bag’? Candy also a nod to the relationship being juvenile. Also with the dried spices to remind him he is married and old. Gosh. Really that concoction didn’t really seem to go together.
Sorry Rowan Atkinson.
No, it's not.
Lol. Get your wife something as generic as a CD worth £15 for Christmas and see how that goes down. 😂 This Christmas I was expressly forbidden to get her a gift as we’d already gotten a shared gift that we’d chosen together… she still got gold earrings, not too expensive but a nice surprise and something to open on Christmas morning.
The movie came out in 2003. The CD released in 2000. Won some award in 2001. If it was her favorite singer wouldn’t she have already bought it? Ah, the days where you had to leave the house to buy music on a gadget.
This scene always yanks on my heartstrings. Just seeing Karen cry quietly in the bedroom so the kids can't hear her after she realises that Harry probably gave the necklace to his secretary is just heartbreaking. "Both Sides Now" playing in the background just increases the tears! 😭💔
Subscribing to you, because I happen to always catch your comments on every video I watch. You've got great taste 😁
I hope, she’ll break down with him in the future. When she gets enough strength and believe in herself and choose herself.
I just see it.
❤️
One of the best pieces of acting ever… she’s incredible. How she fixes the blanket, they way she wipes the tears to not mess up her makeup…. Ugh!!! I’m a mess every time I see it.
The song playing is a hint to the future. Love illusion, don’t let it show. She ‘made her bed’ so to speak. These are all hints that she would stay and be unhappy.
shes the GOAT
It breaks my heart that she clearly picked out an outfit to go with the necklace and planned on unwrapping it to wear that night too
❤❤❤❤❤❤
When she's standing in the bedroom it makes me feel as if she's my mother. Even something as simple as the way she's standing, I just picture my mother and it makes me feel as if it's my mother who is going through such hurt. It's like watching your mother cry. Emma Thompson is my favourite actress and she should have won lots of awards for that scene alone.
This description is perfect and exactly how I feel about that shot of her standing next to the bed, thank you for making me cry even harder
She is too good to be treated like this. Her husband is a piece of garbage for making this beautiful woman cry.
The fact that she was cheated on in real life makes it hit harder.
@@AGolfHitter I did not know that. I love Emma!
@@blitzkrieg6872 Yeah. Gilderoy Lockhart left professor Trelawney for Bellatrix Lestrange lol
@@AGolfHitter it was amazing they managed to work together again
@@AGolfHitter I think I love you. But what am I so afraid of? Merry Christmas!!!!!!!
Really stunning performance by Emma. She completely went through like the 7 stages of grief in her eyes all in 2.5 minutes
Emma is really a national treasure for UK, such a great actress. So quiet but still so loud in her performance, I was heartbroken watching this scene.
This hurts on so many levels:
- getting a cd that has been out there since forever (maybe she even has it already)
- hyping herself up in front of a children just for them to see she got a cd
- knowing the jewelry in his pocket is for someone else
- knowing he lied when he was at the department
- that he bought it in her presence while they were looking for gifts for their loved ones
- finding out he's cheating on Christmas Eve
- the music is quite sad, I know the album.
Actually, that version of the cd was new at the time. That at least made it more of a personal gift
The saddest thing is that the actress was cheated on in real life and she really cried out the pain here
She was cheated but she also got over it and moved on
@@dkg_gdk Yes, but it still hurts sometimes...especially when she had to channel that emotion for this scene.
@@dkg_gdk It still hurt her
@@dkg_gdk so if someone breaks into your home, shoots your dog as it is sleeping on the couch, and years later as you continue living you get another dog, the previous event is inconsequential ?
Yes - I think Emma really dug deep into her own experience for that scene - it was so real, so raw. Brings tears to my eyes every time
The way she holds the door frame as she walks out of the family room, as if bracing herself, it’s the only thing holding herself up in that moment.
I know this isn't the point, but that necklace was godawful anyway🤣
It was nasty. I get that it’s the principle but £300 for that piece of tat.
I know! I've seen nicer necklaces at Claire's.
It's giving cheap juicy couture necklace! hahaha
I always found it so tacky!
Exactly and I always thought that was sort of the point of it. It was tacky and juvenile looking, definitely not something you buy for the mother of your children, only for a woman who you think of as just that-an easy sparkly, pretty distraction
This scene always pulls at the heart she wants to be brave for the kids and doesn't want them hearing or seeing her cry.
My mom used to hate gold, heart-shaped necklaces because of this scene. My parents also had a tradition where my dad would buy my mom pearls for important occasions.
One Christmas, my dad bought a very similar necklace to the one in this scene and gave it to me as a present, telling my mom "There's only two women I'll ever buy any jewelry for.". I thought it was very sweet and it makes my mom smile every time we rewatch this movie now.
The necklace scene. Rips my heart out everytime.
This scene just broke my heart, Emma is such a fabulous actress, I felt her pain in this...
Every single year this scene gets me and each year I’m still not emotionally prepared for it 😢
Because of this story line I never understood how this movie considered to be one of the best ROMANTIC movie? It looks like it “happy-ended” for everyone but Emma Thompson’s character, who was the only a middle aged woman in the movie (if I remember correctly). I felt like the morale of this movie was as long as you are a man of ANY age or a young woman, it will be all peachy and Xmasy for you.
Don't forget the other woman who has to give up a relationship because of her brother???
I think it’s to focus on love tbh. One woman loves her brother so much she can’t abandon him to his mental state and is always there for him even if she can’t receive any comfort from him. And for the married woman is that she keeps the love of her children. She never lets them in on what’s going on and still smiles for them. The men didn’t seem to be happy imo cuz the cheating husband is only being used for his money and the guy with glasses also seems to love the office lady but she can’t give him the time and attention he wants with her. I felt bad for him because I noticed he tends to be the last one to leave the office and knows that she has feelings for him too but it just won’t work out no matter the chemistry they have or how kind hearted they both seem to be.
I was disappointed by her ending too but I do think it's more realistic, lots of people stay together for the sake of the children etc.
If I'm not mistaken he did not cheat on her at the end and got back to the family? I think that's the happy end.
Sometimes love is just more than a happy ending, sorry to break it to you kid, but that's real life
The most heartbreaking scene ever. You identify with her so much! I have to cry every time...
Breaks my heart every time I see it. Emma Thompson is a genius.
My brother watched this for the first time with me the other day and when Harry handed her the present he got suddenly very anxious and said "Oh I don't want it to be something else". 😢
I love this film. I remember seeing it on its release at the cinema and I think its stood the test of time very well. This scene is iconic. I cannot understand the recent controversy around it and I'm sick and tired of people now trying to rewrite EVERYTHING. Why do things today have to conform to what certain people think are the 'right' way. Leave it alone and just enjoy it for what it is, entertainment. I wish people would stop trying to rewrite history. Merry Christmas everyone.
What controversy is this, if you don’t mind me asking? I haven’t seen anything…
@@jennysterg322 Hi, I suppose controversy is a strong word to use but if you Google Love Actually you will see many articles written about it suggesting that it's not politicly correct, it demeans women, it's not diverse enough etc etc apparently even Richard Curtis reportedly said he would make it differently today.
@@Baxyboo oh god I’ve had enough I miss the 00s sometimes bcuz it’s quite exhausting today in certain aspects I stg
@@Baxyboo as an American I can’t watch the entire thing straight through. Just handle some clips. Even Madonna was shocked at the commercials over there.
This is exactly how I feel about it, too!
IMHO, Emma Thompson's Brilliant Heartbreak beautifully serenaded by Joni Mitchell's Both Sides Now is one of the most poetically-poignant moments in the entirety of movie history.
Why do people love this movie at Christmas time? I sometimes think people were somehow fooled into thinking it’s a romantic comedy. It’s completely heartbreaking and imperfect, hence the title. Not a bad movie, but not what I’d seek out at Christmas.
You want stockings hung by the chimney with care. And that’s fine. Some of us want to be moved with a dose of reality. In a sense, it tells us we are not alone. Don’t be fooled. Many are moved in dramatic ways at Christmastime. Sometimes it’s a reminder of childhood bliss. Other times, it’s a reminder of those no longer with us. And sometimes, it’s a lovely time that we just have to get through.
I love this movie.
@@timothyleon558
You can't tell me Colin's plotline is a dose of reality
The way the scent flashes and shows the family picture. Shows what they have built over the years through their marriage and family. At the same time she stands in the middle of their room realizing he’s been unfaithful to her. This scene hurts. 😢
Has anyone ever noticed that the bed of the secretary is pretty messed up, as if she just had a romp with the husband, and is now trying on the necklace he gave her? The director confirmed they DID have an affair.
I understand from an interview that Thompson channeled her heart-rending tears while thinking of her broken relationship with Kenneth Branaugh. That knowledge makes this scene even more poignant.
Love Actually has many things wrong with it, but Emma Thompson's outstanding performance makes it worthwhile. Not just the best.scene of the film, one of the best scenes ever.
She acted so well. Her tears just flowed. It was so natural. It helps that she doesn’t have botox
People that has Botox can't cry?
It makes me so mad that Professor Snape broke Professor Trelawney's heart like that.
Kinda crazy that her acting during the crying scene was inspired by her being cheated on by Professor Lockhart with Bellatrix Lestrange
The worst kind of pain is to smile just to hold the tears back.
0:47 “To continue your emotional education!” He should be slapped.
It was callback to what she said earlier.
@@needles1987ugh we know, but he still deserves that slap
How casually he plays a lie. So breezily with full knowledge and intent engaging in willful deceit.
I don’t think he was lying in this scene
“ Both Sides Now “ is truly a gift 🎁
Fairy tales are just that, don’t give yourself away “
Merry Christmas everyone who’s been here… 💫
I always remember my mom ❤️ when seeing this part.
She was such a lovely, selfless, warm hearted, wonderful person, and my dad...he never bought her anything special or private.
She wished so much to get another table or cabinet for the living room (both over 35 years old), but even this wasn't made possible (and money was not a problem at all).
And she also found out that my dad betrayed her in 2002 - she moved out, back to her city of birth and had a wonderful, pretty appartement there.
But after 5 months, when my father realized, that no woman in the world would serve and spoile him like my mom (he didn't move even a finger at home), he fighted to get her back - and my mom returned.
Approx. one year he tried hard and changed a bit....but then everything became as it was.
My wonderful, beautiful, amazing mom died in 2017 from cancer, and I miss her every second.
My dad stayed alone after she died and says that he's not interested in getting to know another woman.
Ich hab Dich so lieb, Mama ❤️.
She should have handed him Sir Thomas Shield’s Legal Guide to Divorce Proceedings and said, “Turn to page 394.”
Bingo!!!
I remember to see these movie wen i was a teenager and back then these part, ok was sad bla bla... But now at 36 years old, i see these in a complete different way. It was the first time time i cryed watching these scene...
A bone crushing scene, and her having to put on a happy face for her children is even more torturous. :(
He truly loves her, but he just doesn't know it. The other is just another piece of eye candy he can easily grab of the shelf. It's the saddest scene ever. Breaks me every single time I watch it.
“Yes, but you’ve also made a fool out of me…”
Oh Jesus.. Imagine marrying a guy, giving birth to his kids and he treats you like that.
So many women dont’s have to imagine. It’s just a reminder.
Happened to me recently. Our youngest is 1 year old...wish it would just be an imagination... 😢😔😢
@@josephinedracul6198 It takes time but you will recover from it. I did. But you will be forever changed. I'm sorry it happened to you, but you will come out of it stronger. I know you can't believe that right now, but you will.
I'm so sorry.
Happens every day You never really know someone 💔
For this scene, I heard Emma say leaned into the emotions of betrayal she experienced in her own life (finding out Kenneth Branagh had cheated on her with Helena Bonham-Carter during their marriage). What an absolutely perfectly acted scene.
What's really sad is that if she didn't see the necklace, she would have thought the CD was a really thoughtful gift.
One of the best scenes and performance in history.
This just hurts my heart every time.
I normally don’t have actual empathy for ppl in rom coms lol, but This is actually very sad.
Oh. It's never good to see someone cry. Especially for such a reason.
So sensitive scene ! Emma Thompson is a great actress 💟
Still breaks my heart all these years later 😢 I sobbed bc I believe something similar happened to my Mum
I never understood how on earth people like this movie or even consider it a Christmas movie. Its disgusting. I couldn't get past first 3 minutes. The crass humour, infidelity what a way for conjuring a festive mood
so i dont know. i think it's ok for the kids to see someone sad and crying. obvi not shouting at a husband or anything. but she is allowed to show emotions.
That's not the problem mate, don't be silly. The problem is when they ask why she is crying. And they will ask.
Someone, but not the mother. The children won’t feel safe if they see that their mother is suffering and they can’t do anything about it.
She now has to decide what to do and how to go about it. Before letting everyone else know, what there is to know.. if she even wants to do anything. Why doesn’t the husband leave before inserting into other people? Why is the husband not moving on when he clearly is moved on? Why is everyone judging her behavior and have expectations on future behavior. She wasn’t the one who did something wrong. The kids will internalize what their dad has done onto themselves. Because they are part dad and part mom. It’s why you don’t badmouth your kid’s parent. They will figure it out themselves.
This is the part of the movie I remember.. wlWhen people say they love this movie, I'm always like, really? You liked seeing a guy break his wife's heart
This scene. I’ve been through this several times, and she acted it to perfection.
She deserved so much better but I still think she did a good job
Joanie Mitchell never lied
Joni Mitchell
Ironic that an actor who plays Snape, a character who HATED Harry Potter, plays a character named Harry in this movie.
This brings back memories of when you find out your husband has been cheating.
This scene hits so much, amazing
شوفو كيف الاغاني لها اثر على النفس
The songs touch our souls
A strong woman!
A strong woman would have kicked him to the curb
@@wyleecoyotee4252 Do you think it's so easy to do?
So sad and such wonderful acting❤️
You can't just cut out in the middle of Emma Thompson crying like that!!! XC
There are no pillows on their bed!
This scene is everything
You are genius one of the best scenes and performance i have ever seen
Can someone explain why she has no pillows on the bed!? No wonder he left. 😂
Didn't know that Snape and Trelawney were dating
エマ・トンプソンの演技に胸を打たれました。
でもプレゼントはいつもスカーフなのに少し趣向を変えてCDをくれた。適当に選んだネックレスより価値のあるものだと思う😢
Emma knows, in her own life, the pain of betrayal.
I know this feeling too well. Very painful but you're better off without them
Yesterday i saw that this movie came on tv. We didn't see the movie because I have the dvd. But when I saw the tiyle of this movie, my first thought was this heartbreak scene
Oh Severus, never has luck with the ladies.
This is a good movie, but it's so hard to rewatch because of this story, and the one with the sister/brother. So heartwrenching.
Best acting ever!
Her slow and hesitant reaction says it all.
It was hatd to "hate" Alan Rickman's character, but his acting is so good, I did anyway.
They were the best of friends. Sadly, he died too young
The actor became famous in Harry Potter as the most evil man. Not Voldemort but closer. I liked his acting there. He died soon after.
One of the saddest moment in movies for me
This is why Christmas sucks.
He spent almost no time picking it out just like he spent no time thinking about who to step out with. She was simply there. ‘I’ll have that”. Just like the necklace. ‘Don’t want the Christmas Box’. He didn’t want anything more. He didn’t want to keep the necklace or his relationship with the secretary safe or have it be presented well. He is just a man who will do the same to the Secretary he did to his wife. The lyrics are interesting. Love is illusion.. Hide your feelings.. I think that was the clue to the ending. I’m sure the Secretary sold the gosh awful necklace years later when gold took off in price. Gold was under $400 in 2003 and by 2011 hit $1800. At least the value of the necklace grew. Easier to melt it down. More appropriate for a parent to give their child who maybe had that birthstone? The wrong person bought it for the wrong person.
That moment you are so hurt you don't want anyone to know
I found long ago, you can get out of it, have your own life and hold your head up, or stay and play martyr.
heartbreaking
Never cheat give yourself to one person and be grateful that they love you as much as you love them thats should be enough for anyone never let lust defeat love believe in hope ❤❤❤
All I think when I watch this scene is that we can’t give each other music anymore
My all time favorite scene. Both sides now is ❤

I hate cheaters so much.
The only Karen that I like
Neckless, perfume, clothing, cars, money, homes, vacations, promises....
Love, Friendship, Loyalty
Hope, Future.
Wonderful Emma ❤ 🎭🧸🪁
What would you do if this was your situation? Stay for the kids? Work things out? Or leave ?
i guess you never know until you're there...
It's been proven staying together for the kids is a terrible idea. Kids can tell when things are off, they ain't stupid.
LEAVE.
@@josefinebliss2801 the Clinton’s seem fine with it.
Chances are I would only be married to him for his money anyways and won’t love him so I’ll stay for the kids but never sleep with him.
Masterful.
The acting is mis-matched in this film/scene. The man can't act, but she can.
She's picking up her pieces and do her job as a great mom.. so at the end she doesn't seem happy... their ending is not clear...
Poor thing
LMAOOO I CAME HERE FROM FAMILY GUY
That’s such a sad scene. I love that movie. I always wondered did he actually do the nasty with the secretary or did he just give her the necklace ?
Emma Thompson ❤️
