this should have been kept in, i love how you see more interactions with emma thompson and alan rickman amd see that mia knew he was married and even met his wife and that makes it all the worse when she finds out at the end
I agree. Although she knew it's different that she actually met his wife and saw what a lovely human she was, it makes her manoeuvres even more heartless.
Emma Thompson is glorious what a fantastic scene. Just shows how harsh editing can lose brilliant moments like this. The kid is excellent. I’d rather they’d have kept it in, in just makes the betrayed even more cruel. She’s a lovely parent. Miss Alan R.
Well, we've actually fell in love with L.A. even in an abridged form, right? So finally having an extended cut is a superb present to fans, allowing us to have another fresh look. Like, have you ever envied people who got to read your favourite book for the first time? ;)
The problem with love actually is it has like an hour of deleted scenes. You should see how much of the storyline they cut out between Liam neilsons character and the son…
"Don't be rude, I invested a lot of time and emotion in that bottom." I nearly choked on my coffee!!! It is hilarious and heartbreaking sweet at the same time.
I have never seen this movie, but I like how the Mom says "May I have a word with my son outside?" and then they end up leaving the building without saying anything to the people waiting for them to return to the office.
I thought that too when the film first came out on Video. I was so excited to see Emma and Alan in another film together. So when i saw these in the deleted scenes i was sooooo disappointed they weren't shown.
The thing I love about this scene is that I actually, prior to ever seeing this, have also fantasized about what life would be like if farts came out as little blue bubbles. Glad to know I’m not alone.
I believe they couldve worked out a way to put this in, this shows a different type of love, which i felt wouldve been important to point out, as love isnt just romantic love. I understand its a romantic comedy, but knowing the direction of this movie about how "love is all around" this wouldve been beautiful. It was also very funny.
If they cut everything up to the headmistress's office, and shortened the teacher's dialogue, they could have squeezed the scene in. Everything up to the office visit is unnecessary and even offensive, IMO.
This montage is on the film's DVD. I must have watched it 50 times over the last 20 years, and it makes me both laugh and cry uproariously every time. Merry Christmas to all!
The joys of the writer also being the director. Knew he would have to cut lots of scenes for theatrical release but could include them all again on home release package...
I'd have been in hysterical laughter on reading that, irrespective of what the teachers thought. Mind you my kids came up with some good stuff of their own, including a very dark but funny essay of my daughter's that got her 97% in her English Higher grade. ( Her teachers were not boring pricks. )
This was so good, but seemed to be from another movie altogether. Interesting, funny, touching, uplifting. But not Love, Actually. A perfect little scene with no place to call home.
I am a huge fan of the film. But to delete this scene is criminal. A wonderful interplay and unexpected out turn, Thank you for sharing and brightening my day.
So you never get to see the headmistress at all -- Anne Reid is a great actress. Apparently there was a scene also deleted where she was coping with her dying lesbian lover.
Priceless exactly the way l look at life, every one is different and as long as we’re not hurting each other life our life should be ours to think about, love for life is crushed at school
I wish that this video contained the two follow-up scenes to the Bernie incident. There is a beautiful scene where the Principal goes home to her Lesbian partner, wonderfully played by Frances de la Tour. She, Geraldine, is in bed, and apparently dying of cancer. The Principal tells her about Bernie's story and how he and his mother just disappeared and never came back, leaving her and Bernie's teacher sitting there waiting. There is a following brief scene, which is very moving, particularly under the circumstances. At the schools' Christmas Concert, Karen (Emma Thompson) stands up to make a brief speech on behalf of the parents, and offers their commiseration to the Principal on the death of her partner, Geraldine. The viewer knows what the audience do not know, and that is that Karen is at that moment, suffering her own private grief over the behaviour of her own partner. I find it really disappointing that this story was cut, because while many aspects of love are dealt with, there is no homosexual story represented here.
I wish the Laura Linney story, the Keira Knightley stalker with the creepy placards, and Colin-the-Sex-God had all been cut and this entire sequence, including all the scenes with the headmistress and her partner had been left in. It's so much better. My favorite dialog exchange: "You mean there was more than one lobster present at the birth of Jesus?" "Duh!"
Deleted scenes were included on the DVD I watched many years ago. I have no idea whether this was a selection of, or all the deleted scenes. I would love to see a long version with the deleted scenes restored to their appropriate locations - even if it took it to three hours or more. I can't help but wonder if this deleted scene made it to the Palace and, if so, how it was received. With side splitting laughter, I would hope. The thought of Trump trumping as he went in front of her late Majesty would give a new dimension to her expression at the time.
The love story of that director and her ill wife at home is also touching and was kept out of the final cut. I remember the scene of her coming home and complaining about that essay and her wife going "Oh i want to see farts too". And then she dies and Emma Thompson addresses her loss at the kid's Christmas pageant
I love how she thought it hilarious what her son wrote !! I think she should have stuck up for him in front of the headmistress and teacher though I love Emma Thompson character in this !!! So hilarious !!
If you buy the dvd, the Delete Scenes part is really interesting. The farts bit leads Emma to meet the headmistress of his school. We then follow the headmistress home, shared with her lesbian partner, who is dying of cancer. The HM is played by the great Anne Reid and her partner by Frances de la Tour. It’s very touching and might have been a bit much for the movie
Excellent scenes… I think they actually flesh out the characters even a bit more than what we saw in the film. Considering how popular this film is, I don’t understand why they couldn’t just put all these scenes back in, and call it a special edition or something… They would get even more views, and make even more money… Kind of seems like a no-brainer don’t you agree? I just saw this film a week ago for probably the fourth or fifth time, and I do really like it that much to see it again with these scenes put in…😉👍
This scene needed this tidbit as comedic relief, and would have added the delicious sappiness of this flick, and make Emma Thompson's character the more tragic, when she learns about the affair.
In grade two, I had to write a short story about nature/weather I guess. I just recall that I wrote about raindrops that I named "stupid". I guess I was in a bad mood that day. Some time later, my mom found my story (I'm sure our work was sent home with us) and read it. She was quite angry with me.
This should’ve been kept 100%. It really gives a lot more too to the relationship and the tragedy of him cheating on her since they had a very good rapport here.
Should have been in the finished version. The film is 2hrs and 9 mins. Including this scene and the follow-up when the headmistress goes home to her dying partner would have extended it by a mere 6-7 mins.
this should have been kept in, i love how you see more interactions with emma thompson and alan rickman amd see that mia knew he was married and even met his wife and that makes it all the worse when she finds out at the end
I’m pretty sure Alan rickman’s character mentioned his wife in front of her in the final and cut version of the film. She def knew he was married.
She's magical.
I agree. Although she knew it's different that she actually met his wife and saw what a lovely human she was, it makes her manoeuvres even more heartless.
It be too Sekshul
I am in love/lust with Mia
If my son wrote that essay, I would laugh my head off and applaud him for creativity.

Awww. Cutting it was wrong. It's a lovely moment, especially at the end, and cleverly built up.
What a spectacular scene. What a shame they left it out. This is what parents should do, stick by their kid's creative mind.
Exactly
Yes. Definitely. Luckily, my daughter has been going to the right places for years 😁

Oh yeah. I missed that detail. Funny.
I mean I was sitting there thinking the whole time I would be really impressed with my child's imagination at that point.
you mean
Don’t be rude! I invested a lot of time and emotion on that bottom 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 why did they cut this 🤦🏻♀️
WHY DID THEY CUT ALL THE EMMA THOMPSON ALAN RICKMAN SCENES?!!!11!!!1!!1!! I COULD WATCH A WHOLE MOVIE ABOUT THEM BEING A HILARIOUS MARRIED COUPLE 🥺
oh totally same!! So many of the scenes cut featured Emma and Karen was my favourite character in the movie so that's sad :(
I thought that too when the film first came out on Video. I was so excited to see Emma and Alan in another film together. So when i saw these in the deleted scenes i was sooooo disappointed they weren't shown.
It makes the betrayal with Mia a lot more bearable for sure
Alan Rickman would have never done what Alan Rickman did in this movie...
@@toffeebrain4793 a lot more cruel?
EMMA THOMPSON, what a spectacular actress. ALAN RICKMAN great actor who's life was way too short!

She's a hypocritical left wing moronic bitch actually. And yes, *whose, as has been pointed out already.
i thought she died aswell but i got her mixed up with Natasha Richardson

Its SO WRONG that they cut this - its makes us love Emma and her family even more.
The thing I love about this scene is that I actually, prior to ever seeing this, have also fantasized about what life would be like if farts came out as little blue bubbles. Glad to know I’m not alone.
I always thought you should be able to at least see who farted on a cold day. The gas is warmer than the outside air, afterall.
Me too, but I imagined them to be pink for ladies, brown for guys. The ladies' would smell of strawberry when the bubbles popped.
The real Emma Thompson showing her proudness of that child’s essay and would of probs written it herself 😅😅😅😅😅
I believe they couldve worked out a way to put this in, this shows a different type of love, which i felt wouldve been important to point out, as love isnt just romantic love.

Movie time..Prevalent knowledge told that 2 hours in Cinema is unheard.. untill lords of the ring

Anne Reid as the headteacher, her serious prim demeanor makes the essay about farts predicament funnier 😂
How badly we needed these scenes!!! So funny!

This is one movie that I watched every year around this time. Love seeing these deleted scenes that I've never seen before.
What a shame this wasn’t kept in……. Brilliant and shows the love and bond between mother and son. X
5:22 Emma Thompson's excellent acting.
as always
The deleted piece deserves it's own show! Bernard would be the lead!! Emma Thompson is just fabulous!!
I can think of several scenes I wouldn’t have missed in order to keep this in!
Thank you SO much for putting this up, I've been looking for this for AGES
They really should have left it all in, hilarious 🤣🎉🕺
It's too bad they haven't got a Director's Cut, because this would definitely make it into the movie.
I fail as a mother because I couldn’t hold back my laugh once I got to the son’s essay.
A bit of subtle sarcasm there at 3:15 when Emma briefly rolled her eyes and said "excellent" really good acting there!
How I love Emma Thompson. A marvel.

That is so good, Why did they cut that? Great kid.
That essay is the kind of stuff my son will have produced with pride. Fortunately, his school teacher will have laughed!
This ABSOLUTELY _MUST_ be put back in!
This film really needs a director’s cut. It’s such a classic. I’ve probably seen it at least 30 times.
So you never get to see the headmistress at all -- Anne Reid is a great actress. Apparently there was a scene also deleted where she was coping with her dying lesbian lover.
This is one of my favorite movies, and these scenes would have added even more to it!
I'm glad they cut this because it doesn't make any sense. The guy teacher works in a school and gets all uppity about someone writing about farts. 🤣
Love the interaction of Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman. Have just started reading his published diaries, he truly was the most wonderful person.

@wynn1587 *they need*
The way the deleted scenes are where Bernie just has so many lines and character. Wish they’d kept it or something.
I don't do rom-cons, but I own this film. A brilliant film start to finish , love how the patchwork stories come together at the end.
Alan Rickman RIP
Should have kept this part.. It’s really heartwarming❤
Kinda broadens the idea of those other cut scenes which revealed Rowan Atkinson to be an angel..
A piece of literary genius!
I'm in tears now. THAT WAS MY MUM and I bitterly miss her.
Who?
I wish my mum was like that 😂
Granted, I am an American teacher, but I would have loved to receive the farts essay. lol

The thought of Trump trumping as he went in front of her late Majesty would give a new dimension to her expression at the time.
Remake!!!! Put it all back in pleeeeeaaaaase!
i dont have kids but this would completely be me. without a doubt.
Emma is gold as usual you could see why she is one of the top actors of all time!
That sentence about angels supports the idea that Rowan is an angel
A mother of a man child - that is hillarious!
They could have kept this and ditched that entire stupidly story of the chef going to America
This was absolutely lovely! Should have kept this scene in.
THAT should have remained in the film... Loved it. As the mother of two boys, yes, THAT should have remained.
Emma Thompson such a wonderful actress
Class! Almost choked! Put it back into the film next for Christmas.
The love story of that director and her ill wife at home is also touching and was kept out of the final cut. I remember the scene of her coming home and complaining about that essay and her wife going "Oh i want to see farts too". And then she dies and Emma Thompson addresses her loss at the kid's Christmas pageant

Andy Lincoln, Alan Rickman and Emma Thomson together in a scene, its amazing!!
this kid is brilliant
I would love a NEW release with the deleted scenes!! That would be amazing!
This should’ve stayed in the movie. I love it.
I love how she thought it hilarious what her son wrote !! I think she should have stuck up for him in front of the headmistress and teacher though I love Emma Thompson character in this !!! So hilarious !!

Except Karen is jealous of Mia in the beginning. Yet here she sees her alone with her husband and doesn't seem to mind
Should've been kept in. I'd have said the same to my daughter only in front of the stuck up teachers
The sequence has points of interest but doesn’t work tonally. The Rowan character was an angel in on draft.
This would've been such a lovely scene to feed into the narrative - Emma Thompson grows closer to her children as her husband drifts away.

Shame they were cut out.
