- 10th attempt to upload this and recut it. UA-cam keeps blocking it so I have had to cut back the video footage sooooooooooo much :(
There are so many scenes I like in Maxton Hall. I won't get around to discussing all of them but I'm hoping to discuss some of them.
This is one of my favourite scenes - the confrontation on the stairs at the Oxford student residence - and what takes place Afterwards... - Розваги
I’m sooo happy they talked things through and he admitted the truth before they slept together. Im glad the writers included that so often in toxic relationship films couples sleep together as a way to forget their issues or sleep together before they do talk about things. Im glad they had Ruby take a step back and waited to get the truth out of him first.
Oh my goodness you are absolutely right, I was happy that he stopped when he realised she was pulling back from him and I was happy that they talked - BUT you are so right. So many movies/tv shows use the sex scene as a cheat to avoid having to write difficult dialogue. It's almost like sex is the magical solution / short cut and detour to avoid characters having a conversation. I am really happy that when they do have sex - it's following full disclosure.
Also, it's good that when he tells her about his father she says: "I'm not afraid of him" which kind of vindicates James' decision to not say anything earlier .. ie she would have just been open about it and there would have been some pretty adverse consequences to not just her but her whole family without a chance to figure out if there was a solution. Thanks for your comment
I liked her flashbacks.
I've really enjoyed your in-depth discussions of these scenes. The staircase scene here is indeed great, and I love a little detail right at the beginning: when she's running up the stairs and he's following, there's a camera shot looking down the spiral, and it is the inverse of a shot from episode 1 (maybe 2?) when they hide at the bottom of the stairwell at Maxton Hall and look up the spiral stairs because they hear someone coming. They were at the bottom at the start of the series, and now they're pulling and pushing each other to the top. It's such a subtle visual callback, and I feel like in other similar teen romance shows, if there is anything like this kind of symbolism, it's usually very awkward and we get clobbered over the head with it. (But in the end, the main things that have me obsessed with this love story are the chemistry and acting. So good!)
You nailed it! Perfectly! I’m obsessed with this show. The scenes between Ruby and James are so well done. So much atmosphere, so intense, so much chemistry. I‘ve no idea which scene my favorite is… because there are so much really really beautiful Momentes between them!
Thanks again- always a lovely and tasteful assessment!
I personally can forgive the melodrama- after all they are just 18 (at least in the series except Harriet, she really was just 18 when they filmed the series). When I was 18 the melodrama was real and didn’t stop until much later…. 😊
I mean he definitely could have caught up to me on that staircase because I would have been stopping to catch my breath every so often. haha! I liked the lights and shadows on their faces during this scene. On the stairs, I did find it a little hypocritical when she yells at him for embarrassing her in front of everyone. She literally just embarrassed him in a lecture hall of people, and it was the second time she had done something like that; the Oxford debate class being the first. I am glad they got to discuss his father's threat before having sex too, clearing the air, but I didn't get a sense she fully understood the extent of the threat. I loved that arm kiss too. He looks so innocent and vulnerable there. It is like his eyes are questioning her for acceptance or reassurance.
I’ve been waiting for you to do this scene. I absolutely loved the scene and your review of it. Thank you.
Awww thanks! Let me know if there are any scenes you want covered :D
@@koalabear6089 Oh, wow, thank you. Actually, I have a few. But I don’t expect you to cover them all. However, if one of those scenes is also one that you would like to cover, I would be more than happy to listen to your thoughts again.
Episode 3: At the beginning, in the car on their way to London. And later, when James apologizes to Ruby. And, of course, the pool scene.
Episode 4: The conversation between James and Ruby during their “break” from catching the birds.
Episode 6: Their conversation between the scene on the stairs and the sex scene.
And if you ever decide to do entire episodes, I would be absolutely delighted. But I understand that this might be maybe too much work. So, I am looking forward to whatever you can give us. 🙂
You need to do the field scene where she confronts him for ignoring her and also the car scene when he picks her up to go to London!

Can someone please tell me what the soundtrack with the song is with the sexual tension fight between them starting when she runs out of the classroom.. and it continues to wear she says you don't know shitt. I love the song and I want to hear it on UA-cam. What song is this..?????? Asap please!😊😊
I can’t remember the name right now but it’s an original song for the score by Songs in Cinema, (the people who did arranged the music for the whole show) and it’s not on the current Maxton Hall soundtrack but, iirc, it’s going to be on the extended score which will be released later this year 😊

Hopefully this posts right. It's called "What Do You Want?" From the extended soundtrack release
do you know what is the name of the song that sounds at the back?
Tell me when you find it
Look at some of the other comments- someone answered the question
