Funfact: Gosling and Williams were unaware of the talent they were going to do for this scene. So they're genuinely surprised to find that Gosling can play/sing and Williams can tap dance. This is why the scene feels 'awkward' but that's absolutely the point. Real dates do not go as smoothly as a traditional movie script, it's a lot of shy breaks and sudden stops, sheepish banter and flirty glances. This movie in general, let alone this one scene, is far more connected to us than your run-of-the-mill Romantic Comedy because of the director's decision to have a very spartan script. Instead of given them lines, he gave them actions. He would secretly tell Ryan "Make her talk to you" while telling Michelle "Get out of the house" which results in a very natural and realistic story.
+David Rosenblatt No, Michelle Williams. She didn't know that he would play and sing and he didn't know she would dance (you can actually hear his excitement about it).
WittyDroog Well, nice that she got the chance to put her talents on display. Tap dancing hasn't been much of a résumé-booster in Hollywood since Shirley Temple and Bill Bojangles. ;-)
I think the most depressing aspect of this movie is not the fights or the breakup, instead it is the reality that a couple can fall in love and later the same couple can also fall out of love really hard. This kind of movie can make you be more aware of the reality of a relationship, as it is not always as beautiful as you initially thought. However this kind of movie can also lead you to an entirely different direction, making you skeptic of the possibility of goodness in a relationship.
To me the movie is more about forcing love under situational circumstances and unknowingly perpetuating a cycle of trauma more so than it is simply falling out of love. Towards the beginning of the movie, her grandma tells her that you have to choose the people you love wisely, and not to tolerate disrespect. With Bobby, you see her tolerating someone who doesn’t really respect her. He calls her weird, is absolutely controlling, and appears to love bomb her. She later breaks up with him for Dean who has similar characteristics that she overlooks because he’s exciting and persistent. Ultimately in real life they would’ve dated a couple months, and she would’ve returned to Bobby. She only stays with Dean because of her decision to keep her child. Likely the same situation her mom was put in but regardless of who she ended up with the signs where there to show that she would not have chosen the right partner because it’s all she knew growing up.
Well... He does it pretty good, man. I mean, the original is good, but Gosling really does do something original to it that is really fun and good. So, you can't take that away from him. I always like it when someone does a cover of a song and they really make it their own with their own arrangement and everything.. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's usually pretty special.
This movie is a work of art, such a simple story that creates such complex feelings in the audience watching it, this scene is sooo bittersweet cause here they just started to fall in love, but as a commenter pointed out, the foreshadowing... Amazing movie! A piece of art.
I caught myself thinking "this movie was so cute" before I saw the flash of the next scene at the end and remembered "oh yeah, this movie's heartbreaking." But I think that's the point this movie's trying to make about relationships that don't work. Everything's better in hindsight. Everything was easier back when things were fun and flighty and before shit got real. And if you try so, so hard to make things like they were before, even though they can never be what they were before, you won't succeed. You'll make things worse. You'll just hurt the ones you love.
You always hurt the one you love, The one you shouldn't hurt at all. You always take the sweetest rose And crush it until the petals fall. You always break the kindest heart With a hasty word you can't recall. So if i broke your heart last night It's because i love you most of all. You always break the kindest heart With a hasty word you can't recall. So if i broke your heart last night It's because i love you most of all. It's because i love you most of all.
The most realistic romantic story I have ever seen. Love, compassion and kindness all fade off over time. Yes, I am speaking from my own experience like everybody else.
This is the most heart breaking film but it's so raw and it lingers forever in your mind. I watched it 10 yrs ago and came across a reel and I've been crying for the last 15 mins.
there is something about this scene. i get reminded of it every once in a while and i come back to it. and i cry. every time. i honestly don’t known why, there is something about it that just unlocks something in me. maybe it is the simplicity about it, maybe it is her dancing, maybe it is the song. maybe it’s all of the above. i do consider this to be one of the best scenes in cinema.
I love this movie, the whole thing is like a sweet gentle heart break that lingers in your mind. This is one of the most romantic scenes in the movie but the song he chose to sing was a sad one, quite a bit of foreshadowing in my opinion. Such a perfect scene, beautiful and sad just like the movie.
To anyone who has lost/loses feelings for their significant other, please leave them as gently as possible. Please don't hurt them more than the thought of you never loving them back already has. Remember they still have feelings for you. It's not their fault they still love and care for you, right? It will take months or years to make their heart stop loving you. It's you who has changed. If you are leaving, might as well leave them feeling a lil better? Please? Why hurt a heart that has only love and care for you? You have already fucked their self-esteem up enough, don't fuck up the little peace of mind that's left.
I love this movie, the reality of a relationship, wanting what their parents couldn't attain & needing love & losing love and being human to the core, i love it.
This feels so uncomfortable to watch but so comfortable at the same time. Like completely reminds me of all my awkward dates in the mid 2000s but that’s also the brilliance of it
One of my favourite scenes in a romantic drama ...”I can’t really sing “ sure Ryan...let’s be clear you can do freaking everything....and Michelle ....how the hell do you perfectly become that character...like that person is so believable...I don’t get how you actually do that....one person here...a completely different person in shutter island...a completely different person in Manchester by the sea...a completely different person in wonderstruck...like seriously!!!!!
I’ve lived the cliche of better to love than loss but the love I have will always live within my soul and no matter what drugs or alcohol I intake to suppress I will always remember the times I was happy
This movie is so heartbreaking and yet so real, thank you to the true artists that make such great film (directing, acting etc) it’s art!! Watched this after my true heartbreak when it just came out and I couldn’t keep it together, it broke me down but in a good way. Will watch it tonight after going through a break up with my most recent and most significant love :(
I randomly found this movie. I watched it after my divorced, that has a child involved. I saw myself in this film and I didn't like it. Its a great movie but its too awful to watch again. This movie is too realistic This movie just shows that communication and honesty is key. Talk about your feelings, its normal.
the best best best ever best deep down felt song I ever heard in my life.. I just felt billion feet down deep in my heart. so very well sung and lyrics are just the just the.. can't say, no words..
siempre vuelvo acá, lo infantil de esta escena me recuerda lo que es estar enamorado, volver a ser valiente para hacer tiernas estupideces (solo porque amas) en compañía de quien amas, y volver a tener esperanzas, sea cual sea lo que vaya a suceder mas adelante, que por lo demás es siempre un misterio
at one point of life, you just cant take it anymore and you just have to let go...people change...you can have the best of him and you also have to expect the worst out of him...so its a matter of you can accept him the way he is...or bring out the best in him...if you are with the right one...he or she will bring out the best of you right... but remember as time goes on...things sometime can get rough and ugly...so juz be prepared for that...always remember to respect and love your partner right...
i know this is NOT the focal point of the movie and the ending related...however i absolutely adored this scene....it captured the feeling of sweet first date so WELL
tell me that's not one of the most romantic and touching scenes in film ever.
will crow fuk yeah
it's so beautiful but for me the scene in requiem for a dream where they are next to each other on a bed is the most realistic and touching for me
It's one of the saddest scenes
black bird That’s not one of the most romantic and touching scenes in film ever.
@@nintendokings very funny.
this is too beautiful a scene for such a depressing film
The depressive aspect of the film gives this segment its beauty
@@SaveriusTianhui Preach sis
that's the point..
this was a two-minute poem on film.
That's just part of what makes it depressing.
"I can't sing" then he freaking sings the living hell out of it 😂

"Blue Valentine" and "La La Land" proves him to be one of the greatest actors of our time. Period.
As well as "Stay" (2005) and "The Believer" which are so underated... !
When I was young I loved him for his looks, now I love him for his amazing talent!!!
Don't forget about Lars and the real girl
Honestly I feel like blue valentine is like what would’ve happened if seb and Mia stayed together in la la land
Blade Runner 2049, Drive, Place Beyond the Pines, the Nice Guys, and just in the ones I've named is range.
when he sings "I love you" and she loses her balance, like she had "fallen" for him in that moment.
discreet yet great acting
this is like an extremely more dark version of 500 days of summer
called reality...
@@Advnztr not necessarily...
Would say more realistic version
Yeaaaaaah. Same here TwT
Noooo this isnt
This movie hurt so deep but other moments like this made me happy. Great movie.
Cut way too deep. Unrecoverable unrecognizable wound.

@@manelmhiri67 I dont know
Ryan's voice is from heaven in this scene.
nice
Realist movie I've ever seen, love it!
george xmas Creep
I found this more realistic than A marriage story
I thought they were both very accurate for the types of people depicted in the movies
this Kid yeah I agree
marriage story is for wealthy people
Marriage story is the high society version of blue valentine
Finally this comment
Well he can definitely tap dance in La La Land lol
he can do a lot of things
Blue Valentine 2010 La La Land 2016. He had 6 years to learn...
Jeremy S He's perfect lol
Jajajajaja jaja yaaaas.
@@plopp9781 he could tap dance in the Notebook also

Hence the song by Nazareth - "Love Hurts"

It was a toxic relationship. It reminded me when I loved so much but got so deeply hurt at the same time!!😢
this movie broke me
Wow your comment is spot on bro truly understanding
I sincerely don't understand whats the husband fault !
He is good father ,good husband I mean I dont see why his wife treated him like that ,.
This is shot to be like a happy memory before plunging into the cold blue of the next scene.
Who else wants him to just sing the whole song and bring it out
Amen
I tried to find the full song sang by him. 😢
You always hurt the one you love,
The one you shouldn't hurt at all.
You always take the sweetest rose
And crush it until the petals fall.
You always break the kindest heart
With a hasty word you can't recall.
So if i broke your heart last night
It's because i love you most of all.

Probably my fav part of the film. They are so cute, lovely and natural.
This scene was improv and neither of them knew each other’s talents before this part :)$$
@@mosslegend Oh really ?!Amazing fact, thank you 🙏🏻
There is no dance scene more heartbreaking than this.
actually Ryan can sing good maybe he is just embarrassed but that goofy voice is why I love dead man's bones
He said he can't really sing and than he nailed it :D LOL
Ryan012 he nailed her too lol
He said he can't sing well with his normal voice so he has to make it goofy
My 5 year relationship has ended, and all I do is just keep coming back to this scene to remind myself of how we met...
Same, she cheated on me tho.
Fuck her. Love is a stupid metaphor. Fuck world. Fuck everyone and then die. That's life.
It is just me, why this scene and the movie make me feel like crying?
It's because their future is depressing it makes you feel like crying that they had such good times in the past
Absolutely not, trust me
The most realistic romantic story I have ever seen. Love, compassion and kindness all fade off over time. Yes, I am speaking from my own experience like everybody else.

props for including the flash at the end, because that was pretty much the point of the scene
You are right
After reading the comments, I don't think my heart can take what Blue Valentine will do to me.
Rebecca Chen , Nothing terrible happened, it's just somthing we often see in real life. Watch it!
its been with me forever. Its one of those kinda films. Very good but lasting affect. Even got me into Grizzly Bear.
its because real life is a bitch, I can't watch this video without feeling my heart breaking.
It is people falling out of love with eachother. Super sad movie.
I don't know why women ghost suddenly, so sad

Absolutely love this movie but it makes me cry like a baby every time I watch it
what a special piece, it’s so unique and absolutely perfect
This gotta be the sweetest thing I have ever watched in my whole entire life
Can you believe this is the song I still whistle for the past 14 years? 😅 I love this movie 🙌🏽
I dont know why I keep coming back to this scene once a month
I feel you
so much truth in the lyrics of this scene, truly the epitome of the average relationship romantic or platonic. it always makes me tear up.
this scene hurts me
Easily One of my all time favorite movies... this scene alone is off the charts
1:31
“and if I broke
your heart last night,
it’s because
I love you
most of all”
❤
This feels so uncomfortable to watch but so comfortable at the same time. Like completely reminds me of all my awkward dates in the mid 2000s but that’s also the brilliance of it
I can't watch this video without feeling my heart breaking.
I only watched this once I don't have the courage to watch again it hurts you so bad.
I've thought about it since I first saw it but never rewatched it
This scene breaks my heart in another piece every single time I watch it.
This song makes my utensils click.
One of my favourite scenes in a romantic drama ...”I can’t really sing “ sure Ryan...let’s be clear you can do freaking everything....and Michelle ....how the hell do you perfectly become that character...like that person is so believable...I don’t get how you actually do that....one person here...a completely different person in shutter island...a completely different person in Manchester by the sea...a completely different person in wonderstruck...like seriously!!!!!
Just finished this movie and hurt so bad that I literally cant move.
her dance represents what she is going to do with his heart that is represented on the floor.
sad but true
Saw this film on amazon the other night, had my wife in tears, was a good movie and this scene is beautiful
I keep coming back to this scene. I knew it would become one of my favorite scenes in film.
Best scene in this movie hands down!
I’ve lived the cliche of better to love than loss but the love I have will always live within my soul and no matter what drugs or alcohol I intake to suppress I will always remember the times I was happy
This movie is so sad because it's part of my reality
My marriage is falling down and it feels so miserable
How are you now? Are you okay? :(
How are you???
I hope you’re okay. I know how you feel.
Hope you're OK... ❤️
This movie is so heartbreaking and yet so real, thank you to the true artists that make such great film (directing, acting etc) it’s art!!
Watched this after my true heartbreak when it just came out and I couldn’t keep it together, it broke me down but in a good way.
Will watch it tonight after going through a break up with my most recent and most significant love :(
how are you today?
I randomly found this movie.
I watched it after my divorced, that has a child involved. I saw myself in this film and I didn't like it.
Its a great movie but its too awful to watch again. This movie is too realistic
This movie just shows that communication and honesty is key. Talk about your feelings, its normal.
kontopidis brought me here!!!!!!
I’m not a big fan of romantic films, but this is just easily one of my favorite movies.
"I can't really sing", c'mon Ryan your voice can break hearts !
Michelle:Can you tap dance?
Ryan: no.
Years later he danced tap dance and played jazz music in lalaland. He's amazing.
This is my favourite movie scene ever ... absolutely adorable 😍
Just here to get this iconic scene to a million views
the best best best ever best deep down felt song I ever heard in my life.. I just felt billion feet down deep in my heart. so very well sung and lyrics are just the just the.. can't say, no words..
This movie and Place Beyond the Pines are my 2 fave with Ryan.
Such a gorgeous movie
That damn last second...
R.I.P Stefan, His last words and song
I´ve never been able to watch this movie again! It´s amazing but too painful!
This sequence is...iconic.
Thanks😛
this scene lives rent free in my mind
This scene reminds me of the first time I spent the night walking around and talking and having drinks with my boyfriend. That exciting feeling.
this will forever be a bop
Don't forget lads, the girl that says "yOu ArE ActUalLy GoOd" in the middle of your performance is the girl that will crush your heart
You always break the kindest heart..
I loved this … seems like some of the acting was sorta improv… very natural and realistic to every day interactions.
I still play this to this day on my ukulele. For some reason this scene and song stuck in my head and never left
siempre vuelvo acá, lo infantil de esta escena me recuerda lo que es estar enamorado, volver a ser valiente para hacer tiernas estupideces (solo porque amas) en compañía de quien amas, y volver a tener esperanzas, sea cual sea lo que vaya a suceder mas adelante, que por lo demás es siempre un misterio
at one point of life, you just cant take it anymore and you just have to let go...people change...you can have the best of him and you also have to expect the worst out of him...so its a matter of you can accept him the way he is...or bring out the best in him...if you are with the right one...he or she will bring out the best of you right...
but remember as time goes on...things sometime can get rough and ugly...so juz be prepared for that...always remember to respect and love your partner right...
ana laila so true!! You put it in right words!!!
This scene literally made me depressingly happy for a whole week
Sad film in fact hard to watch in some places.
You always hurt the one you love... Poignant to me. 💔
[utensils clinking]
Oh how I love this talented guy! x
The best moments, u don’t need lots of money! Just share who u are, true love!
i know this is NOT the focal point of the movie and the ending related...however i absolutely adored this scene....it captured the feeling of sweet first date so WELL
Relationship core memory saved.
“Best and most memorable” agreed, but damn it’s heartbreaking in context to the rest of the film
i just love this
this movie is one of my favorites. i love how realistic it is
This song is such a masterpiece in this movie.
The story is more crushing.
Most beautiful scene ever
The very last second of this clip makes me really sad. What a movie 😢
I was scared of their situation was so familiar... truly blue
Yeah, that got me right in the feels.
