Carol & Therese (meet for a tea)

Carol Movie (2015)

#CateBlanchett

#CarolXTherese

[@michaelacechova8128]

I believe this scene reveals how desperate Carol was. How much she loves Therese and how much she wanted to spend the rest of her life with this woman. Firstly, she made the offer with a living. After being refused she invited her to the dinner and finally she revealed her real self, her emotions and love towards T. This scene is a pure perfection.

[@alexbull4722]

So true. And we can't forget Mara's performance here too -- Therese's former self said in the car that she was tired of always saying 'Yes' to everything, and we see that come back in this scene... almost like she is willing herself to say 'No' this time. But her pauses and her short answers seem like such a tenuous self-preservation, because deep down she wants to be persuaded so badly. In a way, that was their dynamic form the start -- Therese was curious and wanted to be persuaded.

[@laminage]

Yes it certainly was. What's so poignant is that Therese says "I Miss You" but she can't say "I Love You" over the phone because it's too risky. Carol says "I Love You" and it touches Therese in a way she couldn't imagine. Did any of you ever see Brief Encounter and there's a similar Scene where a Woman is having a Tea with a Man she's having an affair with, and they both get rudely interrupted by her Chatterbox of A Friend.

[@catshaveteats]

@@laminage yes I noticed how it borrowed from A Brief Encounter. She even squeezes Therese's shoulder in the same way Alec does when he says goodbye. I like the parallel, as Carol and Therese aren't cheating, but their relationship was just as illicit in those days. It gives a glimpse of the sense of wrongdoing.

[@laminage]

Still a classic

[@catshaveteats]

@@laminage yep, such a classic, love that film and the difficult choice made. Dedication/loyalty Vs passion. Age old question. How much most of us long for both... Another parallel to this film is that the two leads are shown as normal people. I love that about A Brief Encounter as it shows all of us can be caught up in the whirlwind of limerance, however square we are!

[@Leticia-gp4yx]

after carol says "that's that" therese starts breathing heavily, you can tell by the movement of her shoulders, she's very nervous and her heart is beating fast because she has so many feelings for her. oh god

[@sgriffin1273]

Amma Crellin yes, and it was right when she said "I love you" to Therese that you can really see the surprise and nervousness.

[@VyNguyen-cc7cj]

Carol looked at T and her eyes sparkle

[@NatLaBellaDonna]

As controlled and as graceful as Carol tries to remain, right after Therese rejects her, you can hear her voice tremble as she tries one last time to invite her back into her life.

[@hannanna1004]

​​@@NatLaBellaDonna you described it perfectly!! i feel like that scene is right here 2:17 when Carol attempts to invite her to the dinner. that was very bold of her even after Therese rejected her invitation to come live with her. That boldness and willpower to keep inviting her to her life just shows how much Carol loves Therese and is desperate for her.

[@gracebrew6426]

This look by Carol before saying 'i love u' was priceless. Amazing acting by both Rooney and Cate.

[@laminage]

I said this on another Channel but in their own way Therese Belivet and Tom Ripley are alot alike. They come from Humble Beginnings, Dead Parents, A Distant Mother, can't go to College Full Time. Tom moves from place to place and in the Movie he lives in The Basement where Therese lives in the equivalent of a Studio Apartment. Yet they both come into their own. However while Therese goes from Frumpy to Fabulous Tom gets everything by being devious.

[@faitha.4338]

Tayina P Rooney

[@mariaengracio4849]

Hello, Tayina P! HOW ARE YOU? I AGREE WITH YOU 100%... I THINK THAT, IN THE MOVIE, WHEN THERESE REFUSE TO GO LIVING WITH CAROL, THE CAMERA MUST SHOW THE TWO WOMEN AT THE SAME TIME...TO SHOW,IN THAT MOMENT,THE EXPRESSION OF "CAROL" ( THE EXQUISITE MISS BLANCHETT) AND NOT ONLY THE EXPRESSION OF THERESE... AS I HAD WRITE BEFORE, I HAVE SERIOUS DOUBTS THAT MISS BLANCHETT COULD DO ANY OTHER ROLE BETTER THAN THIS ONE...BUT...SHE IS A GREAT ACTRESS WITH LOTS OF TALENT...WHO KNOWS?!... BUONA FORTUNA! AND STAY WELL, PER FAVORE...YES?!...

[@frangodesatanas.6963]

If I were Therese I would not have resisted

[@laminage]

On the UK Soap Opera Emmerdale there are two characters named Charity & Vanessa and although they say "I Like You", they can't say "I Love You", it's still very hard for both of them especially Charity since she's been through so much. Then on another UK Soap Opera a Lady named Mel Owen may get involved with a Lady named Sharon Mitchell who wants her to manage her Club.

[@Deborahstormfoster]

Therese finally says,"no" . This is a really great scene because up until that moment Therese literally said "yes" everytime Carol asked her a question.

[@adrukova1407]

She's gained self-confidence and matured a lot.

[@MotherIDGAF]

She (Therese) still loves her (Carol) but tried vainly to resist. I read the novel after watching the movie & it worth it.

[@t.l.knight8005]

Yes, The Movie is one of the very few times where although it's "Different" from The Book, it's just as good. We also don't see Ruby Robicheck, Therese's Co-Worker. Many Women said they saw themselves in Carol and Therese in the 1950's.

[@peacemaker6253]

[@atur8012]

Yes, the book and the movie differ but none is better than the other. I love them both so much

[@laminage]

@@atur8012 They even had a fantastic Carol Website through Proboards but it was taken down "(sigh). The Oak Room was also synonymous in The Boys In The Band 1970/2020 where Michael agrees to meet Alan McCarthy there at One PM on Sunday. Also it was mentioned in Scent Of A Woman with Al Pacino & Chris O'Donnell.

[@valeriecomplex9685]

What I like is how carol tried everything and eventually had to tell Therese she loved her bc nothing else worked.

[@hannanna1004]

so true. she finally revealed her true, vulnerable heart to Therese and i just love that scene

[@BeccaLee22]

I love how Carol’s face lights up when she sees Therese. 💜😭

[@PoojaRai0447]

This film and this particular scene specifically where Blanchette says 'I love you' never fails to give me butterflies and knots in my stomach. That feeling comes if you've ever truly loved someone and felt hurt or helplessness like they both have. Masterpiece in every way.

[@vineni6790]

My heart stops beating when carol says "i love you" its so meaning.

[@l.y.1486]

I remember watching this movie at 1:00 A.M., barely awake, until Carol says “I love you”. I felt something on my cheek, and it ended up being a tear. And just like that, I was bawling my eyes out for 20 minutes despite not being able to relate to this movie at all. Whatever long term job I end up with in my life, I honestly hope to god that I’m at least half as good as Cate Blanchett is at hers.

[@steveduff5700]

Carol lays bare her soul and says "I Love You" it is everything, i love this movie so much. By far the best movie that year and a travesty it did'nt get best movie Oscar.

[@laminage]

People weren't ready to acknowledge that Same Sex Love between Two Women could be so beautiful. Here's another fun fact. Patricia Highsmith's Ex Girlfriend Marijane Meaker was also a successful Novelist who wrote Spring Fire under the name Vin Packer about Two Sorority Girls who fall in love in the 1950's as well as Ann Aldrich, who co-incidentally wrote a Book called Carol in A Thousand Cities.

[@josephinedizonsolomon5643]

before,therese always say yes. in this scene,everything is No 😅

[@Vic35102]

Every word Cate Blanchett says and the scene is beautiful and heartfelt who can tell that Carol would do anything to pay with her

[@crowtcameron]

Almost every time I watch this scene and the moment happens when Carol says "I love you", my heart skips a beat and then I start getting misty eyed. Something I love about the film is it aches in this human, sometimes painful, and beautiful way. Like the restaurant scene, it's so beautiful and loving that it aches. And the film contains such emotion and feeling without sentimentality. You get your happy ending and your joy but by God the characters and the audience earn it. Now I'm a straight guy who read the book. But I can't claim to be an expert on this story or the characters in it. But I love film, I love great film making, I love well done storytelling, I love great acting, I love music, I love romance, and I love something that makes me feel something. I think Carol excels in all of these fields and more. I believe it's one of the best romance films in the last 2 decades. It works as a great film and I feel they nailed it with the romance and pretty much everything else. And in modern movies they usually don't get the romance right and stumble in getting other things right as well. But Carol got it very right. I wish there were more films like it.

[@stephenboud1711]

Did anyone notice the difference when carol says "I love you" compared to when Richard (Therese ex boyfriend) says "I love you" earlier in the film to Therese. Richards delivery of the line lacked any emotional weight as he was only looking to convince Therese of his love so she would go along with his plans of what he wanted whist Carol says it with genuine emotions.

[@geoffharris9396]

The great surprise in this movie was the stunning performance of Rooney Mara. Should have swept the board at the Oscars.. But it will always have it's place as one of the best love films ever produced !

[@laughsngasps]

One of the most beautiful excellent scenes I’ve ever seen

[@bellabana]

Cate Blanchett is the best actress I’ve ever watched, she’s a chameleon!

[@majaspencer1906]

cate blanchett is one of the greatest actresses in history

[@sabzedits]

This scene made me so emotional what a great movie

[@alienlover7556]

"is that what comes of getting away from me" "No." Therese said that reply so quick and carol's quick movement that was barley visible was like, "hmm, I see" and then her eyes dilate and the pause just felt like a longing and just agony of waiting for one of them to spill The way Terese breathes at every word and jester Carol makes you can tell that she was happy and wanted to hide it to play as if she didn't want it, knowing that's what she always did. The more questions Carol ask the more nervous and unaware she gets like Carol noticed it every time and still pushed forward, trying to confess what they both were hiding

[@dianesullivan5521]

I thought the movie was far better than the book.. I’m sure Cate Blanchett had a lot to do with that. Her acting is just mesmerizing. I didn’t get the same emotion from the book that I got from the movie...what a beautiful love story! I would just love to see a sequel!

[@drpatrickbarry]

With the book primarly focusing on Therese we had a lot of time with her resentment building by being abandoned by Carol, leading to her rejection. The movie really only had had Carol hanging up the phone.

[@daninnie]

Therese mad face is so cute

[@angelicajones1114]

I know right

[@ringmybel]

Thinking about how that "i love you" is a supposed goodbye to carol for therese just in case she doesn't go back to her in the oak room. 😭😭

[@mirawin3377]

Perfect performance. My favorite scene. I love this film.

[@musicaddict6798]

Carol is totally in love with therese, she even tried 3 different tricks to get her back, and the last trick absolutely successful❤️, i'm really like this movie, i already watch this twice 😂

[@laminage]

You see how much other things have changed. Therese coming into her own as an Up & Coming Photographer, dressing more sophisticated, and more elegant, and even making her Apartment more updated, kind of like how you see on a House Flipping Show. You see how proud Carol is of Therese but were it not for Carol, Therese may not have had the seeds of ambition planted in her.

[@Vic35102]

I think when she says to Carol don't say that I think Therese is putting her guard up with Carol because she doesn't want to get hurt again and when Carol asks her to come and live with her automatic answer no because she doesn't want to trust Carol again but when Carol says she doesn't see your daughter anymore I think it makes Therese think about what Carol has sacrificed for her

[@michell5888]

That's right! In the book Therese was thinking that Carol might betray her again that's why she sain no, but also thought that Carol chose her over Rindy and maybe even love her more.

Therese wanted to spend the rest of her life with Carol but she had buried it away when Carol first left her
