Everyone thirsting over Sam Reid now as if he wasn't a dreamy abolitionist in Belle 2013

may I present mr davinier

"I love her with every breath I breath"

Whoa....Matthew really did well in this scene! One of the best examples of how to hit the right emotional beats!

(Hopefully by this point you’ve finished watching ‘Belle’, the kind of person who isn’t bothered by spoilers, or are just deciding if you still want to keep watching.)

After a loooooong...long wait...I finally got to watch the film with captions! I noticed that the On Demand title on SBS doesn't have captions...which is odd (maybe in a couple of days...they'll load it?). Every time I spot this in the TV guide...I instantly get it onto the DVR and of course...I'd be disappointed that there wasn't captions. This one was different though...as I noticed that there was Audio description...

...and of course...I hoped that it also meant that it included captions!!!! Glad I took a chance...even the DVR was filling up again (I'm down to 1 hour of space! So...I'll have to frantically delete!!!)

I did not expect how watchable this would be. I mean...maybe because I was lucky that my first Gugu film was 'Miss Sloane'? There are definitely other roles that she wasn't able to stretch.

Plus Tom! Wow! Come on....he was also killing it!!!

PS: The English so scandalised when it's revealed that their kids speak French (or at least show off their French fluency)!

PPS: It's a shame that we don't see Gugu and Matthew have a scene together...that would have been really interesting to see how capable Matthew is (which I know he is!).

PPPS: I did not expect the number of times I found certain scenes and dialogue funny! Was expecting really...dramatic moments (which there are...but at least it's not...well...the kind that I need to pick myself up sobbing on the floor...or having gone through a mountain of tissue like 'Beautiful Boy'

PPPPS: I considered cutting off the highlight 'Screen To Script' right when John says: "It's about all of us. It's about everything. Everything that's important." --- but then decided to go until the scene finishes as it's a reminder that sometimes...we have made an impact...but it isn't obvious that we have.

-------- HIGHLIGHT:

EXT. HOUSE OF COMMONS - DAY

JOHN catches up to LORD MANSFIELD as he approaches his carriage.

JOHN

M'lord if you find for the traders you would be formalising the law of the concept of insuring human cargo.

LORD MANSFIELD gives JOHN a glance, takes off his hat---

LORD MANSFIELD

That's correct.

---- puts his hat on the seat, turns to the chauffer ---

LORD MANSFIELD

Drive.

--- then climbs into the carriage.

The driver closes the door and goes to take his place. JOHN steps closer.

JOHN

Then know when you are gone, your legacy would have left Miss Lidnsay in a world worth more dead than alive.

The carriage starts moving.

LORD MANSFIELD

Miss Lindsay is not a slave.

JOHN starts walking to keep up.

JOHN

By the very grace of God!

LORD MANSFIELD gives the roof two knocks and the carriage stops.

LORD MANSFIELD

This is not about Miss Lindsay.

JOHN

Of course it is.

The nobleman stares back, seemingly stoically. But those eyes are drawn to fellow human equally as passionate about justice. A human teetering between anger and tears.

JOHN

It's about all of us. It's about everything. Everything that's important.

The father looks into the eyes of this young man intently. Searching. Clearly moved.

JOHN just stares back. Earnest.

LORD MANSFIELD breaks it. A small smile escapes as he considers what's been said.

LORD MANSFIELD

Mr. Davinier...

He stares at the youngster dead in the eye.

LORD MANSFIELD

...The world is a devastating place. You must learn to protect your emotions if you wish to prevent both matter of the law and love from devastating you.

JOHN casts his eyes down. Defeated. -------- My verdict of the film: 7/10 Link to the timestamp commentary: I was tempted to do one as I had a couple of reactions but then decided to just watch the whole way through (I'll put one up if there are requests for it! A Formal Review: None More of my comments about the film: None Instagram Entries: TBA? (Maybe? Maybe not?)

Mr Davinier, the world is a devastating place. You must learn to protect your emotions, if you wish to prevent matters both of law… and love, from devastating you.
