Exactly :D Most fountains aren't that deep. In a normal film, she would've gotten the porcelian piece within arm's reach, but it is a unique way to create sexual tension: she emerges out of a fountain, and he can see her wet skin right through her clothes.
Saoirse Ronan has such an incredible screen presence, first saw her in the movie Hanna, it is a movie you almost have to watch from beginning to end, she is so compelling.
Huh? Oh well, I guess YOU know what you mean. Anyway I first saw here in "City Of Ember" where she was the only bright spot in one of the worst movies ever made. Bill Murray set the bar for "mailing it in" in that movie.
@TrueFact Is it really that difficult of a language though? I understand you maybe were being facetious, but I was sitting with myself last night and was contemplating how toothy this language is. It's kind of tacky to me. When you branch out to the other languages, the noises come from the back of the throat or even lower. There's much more depth and nuance to "foreign" language. English is kind of a boring language. In Inuit tradition there are over 50 words for snow. English has one. That alone says how fundamentally shallow American culture is. We call it a "melting pot" but it's just a culmination of cherry picking from around the globe based on trend and convenience.
@TrueFact This is wonderful insight, thank you. It helped a lot. As a european-american English is my first language so it is difficult to understand the approach of learning it from a non-native speaker, but that's what education is for. So thank you for educating me!
@@warped.visions You would be very naive to think American culture is 'shallow' and I say that as not being an American myself. Americans tend to wear a mask of causality that hides a sheer determination. The way you describe 'foreign language' is weird to me. As someone who speaks two languages ..what is foreign language? It's not the language but the one who speaks it. For example I speak spanish and its very hard to come up with a word FOR NUANCE in spanish ...very hard ..i could try matiz but that is more to do with the differences in hues of colour ..i could say tenue ..but that means more ..something that is vague ...diferencias sutiles...gives you the concept but its not one word its just saying it literally. Yet spanish is a language FULL Of nuance ...but no word for nuance. English is an easy enough language though.
@@warped.visions You need to explain how that there not being 50 words for the word "snow" shows how American culture is shallow. Because while American culture can be considered quite shallow, I don't believe this is a good example of how so. And yes, America is a melting pot. This just means that many cultures coexist in a country together. However, the only people that have the privilege and power of "cherry picking" aspects of other cultures to become mainstream within so called "American culture" are white Americans. POC Americans don't get to "cherry pick" a culture that is already genuinely their own, nor do they have the power to even choose what exactly from their culture is accepted by our white supremacist society. For instance, let's talk about Asian cuisine, or be more specific- Filipino cuisine. Not too long ago, American society would turn their nose up at our food. Now, due to the trend of Asian food becoming more popular with plenty of whitewashed presentation, certain dishes such as Adobo and Ube flavored desserts have become more accepted and are now "trending" within American society (aka white people are "deciding" that it's "acceptable" now), whereas before, our food and nearly anything that isn't whitewashed or "all American" was insulted relentlessly by many white Americans, or simply invalidated. Some foreigners to America, especially those who live in homogeneous countries, like to say that Americans are race obsessed, but this is just one minute example on why there are racial tensions in America. I hope this helps.
This was an exquisite cinematic rendering of the novel, possibly the best movie based on a book that I've ever seen. Also, it was a "dream cast" IMO. The ending was a little different from the book, however. Naturally, I can't say what that was, but I recommend reading the book to anyone who enjoyed the movie.
@@jwl00066 *SPOILERS* In the book, Briony returns to her childhood home, which is now an hotel. There, her nephews and nieces perform the play that she wrote for that tragic June day in 1935, when her cousins Lola and the twins visited. Briony's brother (in his 90s) also visits their former home, and also one of the twins, the other one having already passed away. The novel is in four parts: •Part 1: The June day (up till Robbie's arrest). •Part 2: Robbie as a soldier. •Part 3: Briony as nurse; her visit to Cecilia and Robbie. •Part 4: London, 1999. Parts 1 to 3 are in the third person narrative, whereas Briony tells the final part. In it, she explains that Robbie died in France and Cecilia in London during the Blitz. She says that, as she couldn't atone for what she had done in real life, the least she could do was to give them a happy ending in her book.
Ngl out of all three Brionys, Saoirse was the best! You know I just couldn't see Briony in the older ones. From a young age Saoirse has been nothing but incredible! Ugh I love her so much. Also the other two leads are visually so fuckin attractive and their chemistry in this movie is just *chef's kiss*. I love this movie so much and had my ugly cry too!!
This is why a lot of times, thankfully in today's era, no one's testimony, children or adults, are taken for their words. They need evidence and facts. You can't say "This person committed it" without actual proof. The poor innocent man had to go to prison then later lost his life. He did not have to go to prison. The court believed a child's words, of what it saw in a dark place without any proper lighting.
Tell that to social media culture, where a person is often presumed of guilt before innocence and have their careers destroyed without a moment’s thought.
The tension is at its peak in the book when Robbie, whilst taking a bath, recalls every detail of Cecilia's wet clothes and body after she emerges from the fountain. And of course the library scene.
I never thought I could hate a child until I saw this movie. It still makes me angry like no film ever has, all these years later. Mostly because you can't hate a child who is ignorant and yet that ignorance can cause so much pain. Such a stupid, meddling girl and so many factors that all came together to destroy two people's lives completely. The sweetness of their love was so fleeting and the suffering seemed to go on forever. Unfortunately relatable.
Muy buena....muy buenos actores y actrices. Buen final....y exelente y desconocida película. Ahora que hay la guerra Rusia vs Ucrania., Hay mucho paralelismo.
It wasn’t really a love story as people claim. I think he was infatuated by her and she was attracted to him on some level but her devotion to him afterwards was more out of guilt than true love. I can’t forget how condescending she was to him from outset so I don’t think he really loved her either.
It's sad because the cast is amazing, the scenery sublime, the acting well done, but the dialogue feels forced and the overall story is unsatisfying. There's no substance, and you're left with nothing to take away from it, in my opinion. I wanted to like this movie, but I couldn't.
I have to admit, most of this scene I was thinking ‘damn, that’s a deep fountain!’
Same here man
agreed!
LOL
Exactly :D

Yeah, and really clean 🤔

As opposed to all those movies where you watch them in reverse, or stop watching them half way through. 🤔
Stupidest comment of the year.
Huh? Oh well, I guess YOU know what you mean.
Anyway I first saw here in "City Of Ember" where she was the only bright spot in one of the worst movies ever made.

If you only catch the movie half way you will be lost in some of the meaning
Truly a great film!
What a great peace of art. How naivety can ruin lifes

The Interior Design Is Immaculate;
She didn't even look for the broken glass on the ground when she got out the water
Such beautiful blue eyes!
James McAvoy @4:59 what a dream
This movie messes with our mind a lot and they have an ending we don't want. Sad
Even though this film devastated me the first time I watched it, it’s now a favourite. I also enjoyed the book though I’ve only read it once.
4:53 oh that smile

Saoirse Ronan was 13 in this movie...her first and certainly not her last.
❤ her
Amazing movie, the cast is superb!
1:13 she turn left, 6:18 now she turn right
I never noticed that!
There’s actually inconsistencies in this scene on purpose! It’s to show how the little girl misunderstood what was happening.
We love this movie we have watched it many times i would recommend it to anyone that loves true history and events of our past
I want more historical movies like this one
Keira is amazing 👏 as per usual
Yes lad!

Why is this fountain so freakin deep???
I don't remember this scene and I've watched all the xmen movies.

This scene is intense .
I think the main reason this movie hits so hard is because Keira Knightly is so beautiful. Losing her in a break-up would be devastating enough. 💔

Please don’t be So rude..& arrogant!!🚫👿
Keira Knightly is so damb beautiful.
This movie wasted the incredible chemistry between Knightley and McAvoy. This one could've been fantastic, but it settled for sub-par.

Долбаная реклама сигарет..
One of the worst movies I ever sat through. First 20 minutes were interesting. The rest, a total grind to get through
The book was even more boring.

Not enough guns etc for you?
@Ephraim Samuel George I object to using that kind of language on here.
It was the accents which were the most unbearable. Keira sounded like a parody of the queen.
Knightly needs to keep her clothes on!
Now that is mean.
And you need to brush up on your grammar
If this was an attempt to eclipse Darcy's 'wet shirt' scene in P&P, it was a crass mistake. Knightly just doesn't cut it.
Well I know who I'd rather be looking at .
of course she doesn’t cut it for you barbara, you’re a straight woman
