    Who would have thought, 42 years ago when I came out, that there would be a show like this on TV, and that people would love it, and that, when the kiss came, orchestral music would play to enhance it. Who would have thought.

      It's like all of the times I watched the Prince and Me except...it's finally two women, in a TV series, as the main characters, and not some small release lesbian film that is only known to people in the community.

    • @csmith5420
      @csmith5420 4 года назад +35

      True, but at this time most marriages were based on position and financial need or whatever, rarely love. So I think the sister meant that a real relationship, friendship or more, was better than a marriage for marriage’s sake.

      @justafractionoftime1984 2 года назад +7

      As someone who has been in relationships where someone ends up just wanting to be friends, it breaks. Because that physical intimacy has already been shared, but due to outside expectations and fears of being found out, wanted to be “friends.” Nothing is more crushing. Especially because with women, there is an incredible emotional intimacy. And when a woman wants to keep that emotional intimacy and dependency without the commitment because they’re scared, they want to keep you as close as a lover without being one…shit hurts. I actually felt the hurt than Anne must have felt. Heartbreaking.

      What a Powerhouse of a Woman Anne Lister was. Suranne Jones inhabits her. She is so immersed in her character that I don't see an Actor playing a part, I just see the embodiment of Anne Lister. I've never had that kind of reaction to an Actor & their role before. It makes the series all the more compelling. I've definitely fallen for Anne Lister & I might just have a wee soft spot for Suranne now too :)

    This scene - this episode, this whole series - means so much to me and that scene completely destroyed me, it had me crying and shouting of joy, beaming from ear to ear, and made my heart grew ten times bigger with love. It‘s just so perfect: Ann‘s soft „... I wouldn‘t say no“ and „yes“es, Anne‘s „I don‘t think one hour passed where i didn‘t think of you“ & her „Don‘t hurt me, I‘m not as strong as you think... well, I am obviously, but... sometimes I’m not“, the kiss, music, lighting; the chemistry between Suranne and Sophie is killing me (and what absolute excellent actresses they are!).
    Both showing so much love and pain, and confidence and vulnerability.
    Or before that scene, Anne stopping to run away from her broken heart and Ann taking control over her life and decisions in her hand; and after that, their wedding and them already bickering like an old married couple.
    As a big history and period dramas and biopics fan and a gay woman myself (who also loves romance stories), period shows/movies with queer characters are, like, my favourite genre. And getting this classical-epic-super-romantic-hilltop-kiss with these two beautiful, courageous women (even better, knowing they really existed) and seeing them marry (as “much/real” as was possible) in 1834 is truly cathartic!
    Gentleman Jack gave me everything I’ve ever wanted from period dramas & shows with LGBTQ+ characters and more. I’ll never get tired of watching this show and this scene. THANK YOU, everybody involved in GJ! (And yaaay to the confirmed S2!)

    Phenomenal show. And whilst I get the majority of people are talking about the lesbian storyline, I think Anne Lister would STILL be worth knowing about even if she hadn't been gay. Because in a time when women were rarely seen let alone heard & got treated like property or as if they were brainless/helpless, Anne was a property owner, managed that property, mucked in with the workers, travelled independently & dressed as she liked - to name a few reasons. Oh, and didn't suffer fools gladly, especially men who thought they could get away with being patronising or swindling, just because Anne was female. Suranne Jones especially, but also Sophie Rundle, deserve every award going for their portrayals of Anne & Ann, they've given us some of the best TV I've seen in I don't know how long.... Looking forward to series 2!

    I'm an empath, I'm picky about what I watch because I can't get properly invested in something if the acting (or writing for books) comes across as ingenuine. I've lost count of how many times I've watched this clip because I can feel the characters' emotions and mood shifts throughout the entire scene, the acting is SO GOOD, some of the best I have ever seen. Especially Suranne Jones; I can read Anne Lister's thoughts in her face and body language, every time she wants to give in to her love for Ann but then literally steps away from her because she's afraid of being hurt, how she distracts Ann from noticing how upset she is at being just 'a friendship' to her or dwelling on her slashed wrist by telling self-deprecating stories about herself. The way she plays a strong character who is on the verge of falling apart and trying to hide it is masterful; that little noise she makes after Ann says she 'wouldn't say no' has more emotional conveyance in it than some entire actor's monologues. So incredible.

    Good lord! The fireworks I feel in my stomach everytime I watch this scene is unexplainable. Wow! My gay heart can't handle this. So beautiful and emotionally portrayed.

      Must be those homophobic who left lots of comments down this clip. They must have too much free time in their 👐 and parochial. That's a word that I learned from this series. 😉

    The most beautiful love story I've ever watched! Gentleman Jack is an outstanding show all round but this scene is everything. Sophie is wonderful and Suranne is an absolute legend, she was born to play Anne Lister.

    Fabulous show, and a wonderful performance by Suranne Jones. They brought a fascinating woman to life and did her justice. Especially loved the looks to camera, some of them were hilarious! And did you notice, in the last scene, she finally wore something other than black ... she was no longer in mourning. Great job from beginning to end, well done Sally Wainwright, Suranne, the BBC and everyone involved!

    I've watched this scene a hundred or so times now. It's truly the most heartfelt romantic scene ever on the screen in my opinion. Simply beautiful...

    more than one million views, totally deserved.🥳🥳🥳 It' such a powerful story and having Suranne Jones and Sophie Rundle, for Anne Lister and Ann Walker is truly a gift. Fantastic actresses, and the intensity of their chemistry is stunning.
