Demi Moore's best performance I've seen, at least in the romantic comedy genre: vulnerable yet restrained and richly expressive. And without losing any of her captivating charm
@@DANIELMartinez-iw7hj HA, HA / very good. But it reminds me of how wonderful the cast was. Even the assistant (forget his name) was just brilliant in the few scenes he had. The reference to Swayze is sad, but of course he was still alive at the time.
This is one of my favourite scenes in this film. I went through so many emotions but it did make me cry on her line 'im also just a girl, standing in front of a boy'. Such a fantastic film. Great cast and so many funny bits. It's a classic to me and I watch it every now and then.
The context of her character being an actress adds such power to an already poignant line. The whole world sees her as this idol, this object of fame and glory, which threatens her relationship with him because he fears that is what she wants to be and that, as an ordinary man, he couldn’t be enough for her and they’d both be left unfulfilled. But with this line, she assures him that she is a person like any other, and wants to love and be loved just like anybody else, more so than any meaningless fame or glory.
This has got to be the sweetest five minutes of film over produced ... watching Julia try to fight back tears as her heart is broken. My goodness what a beautiful actress !
Also, the indefinitely at the presser. You see the giddiness roll up from within her. It was like 2 or 3 waves and culminated with that brilliant grin!
I love this... and for anyone who's felt or dealt with some fame... she's right... the "fame" isn't real or everlasting...at the end of the day, people are just people.. just humans
4:51 speaking from past experiences, jadednes, heartache and failures. You can see and hear it from Julia's eyes and delivery. Very masterful way of doing it. Anna probably never had people liking her for the person, they probably liked her for the fame, beauty and recognition, but never for the vulnerable personality. She even said that when she referenced Rita Hayworth's Gilda's sleeping with the dream and waking up to reality. But also on the other side, Will was right to reject her because he fears for the consequences. His previous wife left him for someone else, he got 2 rude awakenings with Anna as well. A third one would have probably finished him off.
It's not bad enough that people want to alter current reality. You have to time travel and try to muddle the simplest parts of the past. It's not enough to point out the wrongs done and learn. Today's "fighting" of sexysm and masogomy is about catapulting to the opposite extreme. Congrats. Great progress.
traditionally we see many men play the role of asking for forgiveness and someone's love, so I think that the color switch was definitely purposeful because here the roles are reversed!
Masterfully done. Both saying what they had in mind from their experiences from the past 2 incidents and then delivering the lines where you feel all the emotions.
I absolutely love this little, simple, endearing movie...from the first time I watched it. Many critics dislike it but it really has some of the best acted scenes I've ever seen. The storyline - The utter acceptance and support from true friends who recognize your flaws and love you nonetheless - really hard to find. ❣❤💜💔💘💟
Watched this movie for the first time yesterday and I cant get this brilliant scene out of my head. Julia Roberts' acting is mind blowing here. I can feel the pain here.
bob: Yes, I had this on DVD and watched it a lot - you miss so much by watching a film just once and every time you watch you see something new, like that backward look ... 👌
Martin's ( James Dreyfus) acting in this scene is superb. His portrayal of the character truly stands out and leaves a lasting impression. Despite having a small role, he delivers a fantastic performance, and his comedic timing adds an extra layer of enjoyment.
First of all, really great script by Richard Curtis. Then masterful casting of all, particularly the two stars at their peak. Julia Roberts performance here is exceptional, an acting class. By turns, confident, warm, funny, angry, and then extremely, believably, vulnerable; with micro expressions throughout the film that make her emotions all the more believable and relatable. And then that radiant Julia Roberts smile comes bursting through. To die for. Not to mention, Hugh Grant delivered his lines perfectly and believably also, with warm humor, great timing, and his usual charm. This particular scene has one of the greatest, most memorable lines in film of course. All the rest of the cast, and creators, did their "jobs" well too in orchestrating this brilliantly charming movie.
I'm working, since March. I'm resting at lunch break. In Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. I respect the pain of the affect families, but the pandemic is over. Just the red enemis don't accept it...
This move I never forget in my life. Greatest movie where every character in this movie is so great. Writer director and producer absolutely 💯 great for releasing this great movie
Wow. I’ve never seen this movie. Came here because I saw that the building that the bookstore is in is for sale and the article mentioned the iconic scene from the film. Who knew? Everyone but me it seems:). I’ll watch it!!
I'm not a romcom guy, and thought the dialog and plot were forced, but I love this movie. Hugh Grant was never pathetic, and Julia Roberts was believable as a confused beautiful woman.
Heartbreaking scene. Remember this movie is from the pre-social media era. Emotion had more value than today. Because people those days enjoyed real-world experience than fake virtual world exposure.
I wish I could have had the happy ending they had. I was also just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to love her... we parted ways never to speak to each other again💔💔💔
@@aimeeahearne6898 My ex was the love of my life. We met when we were 13 and 14 and we've been in love ever since but out relationship used to be very crazy. We were separating and getting back together a few times. Month ago we had an argue and we stopped talking with each other. Since then i literally feel nothing. I can't even cry i can't be angry. I'm so sorry but it will get better. Try to do something that makes you happy. Think about your hobbies maybe meet up with friends. You're too good to be sad. Live life. I know that it might be hard but don't bring yourself down. You're too good for that. I wish you the best.

I miss this kind of cinematography. No background music, no distracting sounds, just plain dialogue and amazing acting.
“Don’t even think about it. Go away” same
That's one of the best lines in this movie.
I'd wish we'd say that more often to people interrupting moments.
@E To the customer who got in the way.
The Man is having a heart=to-heart and a damned customer pokes his nose in....
Should have said likewise to his mom as well.......IMO.
love it. It's something Doc Martin says all the time.
The way Julia Roberts delivers that line is unmatched. Perfect tone, with perfect pauses, just perfect acting.
And the teary eyes. Such emotion. You really feel it.
Some scenes are unforgettable, they never get old... like this one
Amazing control as she keeps smiling as he starts to say no, but as he glances away, you see the dismay and sorrow on her face.
"The fame thing isn't really real you know". Gorgeous!
Those are my favorite lines that Julia has ever spoken.
Demi Moore's best performance I've seen, at least in the romantic comedy genre: vulnerable yet restrained and richly expressive. And without losing any of her captivating charm
And of course, I know perfectly well that it's Julia. But I just couldn't resist 😉
Loved her performance in Ghost. Wondered how Patrick Swayze was in real life

I just watched this earlier and I agree.. I cried at this scene, Julia just nailed the emotions in it so hard
I need to watch this movie more times.
3:23 she probably new found respect for Will for telling her 'No' because so many people would just say 'Yes' without thinking about the fallout.
her looks in this scene made her more beautiful. simple yet so charming
No matter how many times I watch this scene, it still gives me goosebumps..
Two great actors at the top of their game and creating one of the greatest scenes in British movie history x
Best scene ever in a Rom-Com.
I agree!
wouldnt say this is rom com... more just rom
@@flacsmada naaaaa it is
One of the best scene in cinema history!
There were a few in Notting Hill
The most powerful statement about love.

He thought he'd never see her again.. and then POP, goes his heart
Lololololol
Oh, that's another film - it was very good - loved the girl in it, can't remember her name but she was well selected ... 👍
4:41 to the end, her gestures are so sincere and touching, even pointing the paint with a look as she leaves.
This movie is so charming and light-hearted.
Apparently this is based on a true story of the scriptwriter's friend.
I love this... and for anyone who's felt or dealt with some fame... she's right... the "fame" isn't real or everlasting...at the end of the day, people are just people.. just humans
Watch this over and over again... And my heart still hurt for her🥺
Mine too 🥺
She hurt him so many times though
Why for her? She strung him along for a year of his life.
@@rumblefish9 yes, I understand that to
@RideAcrossTheRiver that I understand to... just trying to see from both side

Self-preservation for sure!
The way he immediately dismisses the guy who walks in at 0:22 will live in my soul forever.
One of my all time great movies. Whenever I watch this movie i feel so calm and not rushed through a story . I hope I am not the only one
It’s fun to spend a few minutes with others here who loved that scene.
An awesome and legendary movie. Hope to see them act together again in future.
They are all old now. They can act well but maybe not much attractive.
@@wandademolition Except maybe to older and (or) wiser people :)😉
She’s in blue and he’s in pink…something about them wearing the opposite traditional gendered colors feels so potent. Excellent moment
Oh FFS. If thats what you get out of this scene then there are issues with you, big issues.
Oh FFS. If that's...oh, wait. You beat me to it Trinster.

Love it more as l see it again and again ❤
Absolutly...
Masterfully done. Both saying what they had in mind from their experiences from the past 2 incidents and then delivering the lines where you feel all the emotions.
One of the best scenes from Notting Hill- super connection! Movie end was good.
" I'm a fairly 'level-headed' 'bloke' " 3:01. Watching and learning new expressions.
British boi tingz

I only really appreciated how brilliant it was n a second viewing some years later. It is now a film I can watch again and again.
Memorable and iconic line at 4:45 Very classic
Love this scene when she says exactly how she is feeling '' I am just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to love her''
Great scene in one of the best movies never get bored of it! Perfect acting perfect pauses just pure dialogue. Never get bored watching it
Watched this movie for the first time yesterday and I cant get this brilliant scene out of my head. Julia Roberts' acting is mind blowing here. I can feel the pain here.
Makes me cry everytime..

I'm also just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to love her...
QE ornotQE you seem happy asf...
Are you hot? 🤷🏻♂️

Yes. Thanks. Thanks for repeating THE line.

Just chokes me up
Handsome lad ever! Blue got its beauty by being ur eyes Hugh!
Watch Paul Newman in "The Sting" if you are into Blue Eyes like mine and Paul's :)
@@Isleofskye Hugh Grant has nothing on Paul Newman 😊
The last look of the rebuffed customer through the window! Brilliant touch. Hahaha.

Love this movie and the scene 💕 I want a star to tell me “I'm also just a boy, standing in front of a girl , asking her to love him.”
"Why I'm always Julia Roberts?"
-Harry Styles 💚

Young Julia Roberts was so beautiful
She still is! 1000 watt smile!
Was
Is still beautiful
Stanislavski would be blown away. . . . My god, she can act . . .
At this moment, with her laying her heart out like this, I would have done anything for her. Anything.
I really love this movie I've been watch it a hundred times ..love you queen Julia!
its so great the movie takes the time to let this scene work. it needs time to develop the full range of emotions it wants to show.
It is an excellent movie. The ability to alternate The last brownie chat between pathos and laughter is an extraordinary dialogue writing ability.
I watched this then noticed something so watched a few more times. OMG That lady can Act
I love His character in this movie what a paceful Man
Who's still watching this amidst covid 19 pandemic?
me
@@samlucas7493 I love the line I am just a boy standing infront of a woman waiting for her to love me ha ha
Fuck covid, "plandemic"
I'm working, since March. I'm resting at lunch break. In Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. I respect the pain of the affect families, but the pandemic is over. Just the red enemis don't accept it...
Watching this movie to compensate for not being able to date during the pandemic.
Always enjoyed this movie. Tear jerker at times. 👍👍
Wow. The simplicity of this scene is everything
Cannot get thru these scene without getting teary everytime. So well done.
Kindly share me the full movie
The most honest words a human can say.
100x ko na ito watch kilig is true... ever
4:50 tear drop rolls down
I could cry every time I watch this scene but in the end they’re happy 🥹🫶🏻
One of my favourite lines of all time 🙌
Oh Mann!!...wie das schön war diese stille und Ruhe......
Absolutely fabulous scene . Brings me to tears. EVERYTIME . ❤
This move I never forget in my life.
Greatest movie where every character in this movie is so great.
Writer director and producer absolutely 💯 great for releasing this great movie
This is why she was the top actress at this point in her career.
Wow. I’ve never seen this movie. Came here because I saw that the building that the bookstore is in is for sale and the article mentioned the iconic scene from the film. Who knew? Everyone but me it seems:). I’ll watch it!!
'Ghost was the most wonderful film' 😅 i am still laughing and i watched it a thousand times.
Don't even think about it, go away immediately! Go away. LMAOOOOOO XD
Classic and iconic! This scene is a masterpiece indeed ❤️
I'm not a romcom guy, and thought the dialog and plot were forced, but I love this movie. Hugh Grant was never pathetic, and Julia Roberts was believable as a confused beautiful woman.
Nobody can stand against such a woman asking a boy to love her, o my god, i can not imagine it, might be the most wonderful feeling of all lifetime.
The writing here, although unrealistic, is tremendously entertaining. One of the best lines in cinema history.
when i hear the line “im just a girl standing infront of a boy....”, i immediately think of harry styles with james corden in the car
That’s the only reason I’m here
same 🙋🏽♀️
Is this the scene where he says "you had me at hello" ?
I've give everyone a moment to think about what I did there.
SAME
Beat scene ever.
Loves this scene the day I watched this movie. Every independent, successful woman is just a girl in front of a boy she loves ❤️
Impossible not to cry like a baby.
this is an awesome scene, like 2 decades later
Heartbreaking scene.
Remember this movie is from the pre-social media era.
Emotion had more value than today. Because people those days enjoyed real-world experience than fake virtual world exposure.
You really nailed it.
This movie, is excelent, and the soundtrack!
What I love is that time actually passed not like those romcoms where they met and two weeks later they are engaged lol
2022 and still looking for a girl to talk to me in the way Anna does ...
This is so sweet.
One of my favourite scenes in the movie
I wish I could have had the happy ending they had. I was also just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to love her... we parted ways never to speak to each other again💔💔💔

I wish i could have had the happy ending. I married her (for 23 years) and regretted it every day.
In this scene, Julia Roberts was so genuine, so poignant, so believable. What a gem.
Love this movie and perfect ost
Best love scene ever
Perfect timing as ever
This is gold! 😭
The ghost part cracks me up every time 😂😂😂
My top rom-com movie.
Julia Roberts needs to make a comeback.
Watched this movie at least 20 times. Will never forget this scene and the one when Anna goes to max and Bella house’s
"I'm just a guy, standing in front of another guy, asking him not to shoot him"
- JJ, My Spy 😂
what about "I'm just a gay standing in front of a boy asking him to love gay" 😂
#keep safe everyone
# stay home
Hysterical 😅😅😅
Someday I will say this line to the man I love ❤️
best romantic comedy film of all time.
