Jamie Proposes to Aurelia - Love Actually | RomComs

Jamie (Colin Firth) rushes back to France after falling in love with his housekeeper, Aurelia.
Love Actually (2003). Nine intertwined stories examine the complexities of the one emotion that connects us all: love. Among the characters explored are David (Hugh Grant), the handsome newly elected British prime minister who falls for a young junior staffer (Martine McCutcheon), Sarah (Laura Linney), a graphic designer whose devotion to her mentally ill brother complicates her love life, and Harry (Alan Rickman), a married man tempted by his attractive new secretary.

This is the best scene in the movie. No matter how many times I watch it, my chest swells with emotion every time. Every detail adds so much. When Jamie hesitates before entering, Aurelia's father gently touches his back in encouragement, giving Jamie the courage to cross the threshold. Everyone in the restaurant gawks at this obvious outsider, wondering what the heck is he doing here with a mob of people. Many look irritated, others don't quite know what to think. But the more Jamie talks, the more he wins their approval. The fact that Jamie says he expects Aurelia to say no, only impresses them more. This is not a confident man or an arrogant foreigner. This is a man who expects to be rejected, and he's giving her an easy way to say no, no matter what his hopes. But he's willing to make a fool of himself, and risk having his heart broken, because he can't live without her. Talk about romantic gestures! The staging is romantic too. It's straight out of Romeo and Juliet. Aurelia is standing on a balcony, while Jamie proposes from below. He's throwing himself at her feet. When Aurelia responds in English, it melts your heart. She, too, has taken a chance. She learned English hoping he will return to her one day. Even though they're standing in a sea of people who are listening to every word, it's still a private moment. No one but Jamie knows she's just accepted his proposal. I love how she says "easy question." When the applause breaks out you see the admiration for a man willing to make himself vulnerable very, very publicly to pursue the woman he so obviously loves. Only to find out that she loves him too. They can't help but be thrilled for Jamie, the awkward outsider who doesn't even speak their language well. It's written all over everyone's faces. That kind of bravery deserves applause. He took a huge risk and it paid off for them both. Bravo, indeed.

[@herotiramisu]

absolutely agree ! the best scene in the movie, even I watched for so many times, I feel my heart is beating and emotional, there are something inside there which cannot be explained.... you just have to feel it with the heart... just brilliant movie! as of today, less than 20 days left before christmas..... wish everyone have a sweet and warm christmas time with someone who you love and care.....

[@paulac.munoztorres]

Top tier directing and filming. And you know what, at least in my opinion their story is northern best, like the best written. They just spent a few days together and roughly talked, and yet this scene is one of the most moving and romantic of all the movie. It doesn’t seem realistic, it’s seems magical.

[@tdamtoft]

Nope 2nd best - Emma Thompson steals it with Both Sides Now playing.

[@marinaguilherme8042]

Excellent review ! Totally agree with you. Maybe the most iconic scene in the movie. How they deal with language as a barrier all movie is special.

[@kamcakamcana4674]

Excellent review. The actress plays the most difficult role in the film.

[@rohp1283]

The Colin Firth bits was the best parts of Love Actually.

[@WmRob]

Nah…Emma Thompson owned this movie.

[@Ginea25]

Considering his bits were supposed to be a separate movie, rather than part of an anthology, it's amazing how right you are.

[@rohp1283]

I am no expert but I thought he was great

[@philhamblin3949]

Most definitely

[@kamcakamcana4674]

A character played by Colin Firth since played by anyone below average, the strength of the dialogue was created by a Portuguese actress. Just to add, I'm not Portuguese. Colin literally played the "flower pot" on stage.

[@mhmdd]

I think the story of those two deserves a separate movie by itself. The whole idea of them trying to communicate in different languages is just special.

[@userok321]

Spanglish another rom-com

[@tomburley]

Such a rare thing nowadays - a reasonably wholesome feel good movie - I will always enjoy watching this movie.

[@MOGGS1942]

Aurelia's smile stopped my heart. Such natural beauty. It still has the same affect on me, but now I shed a tear or two. Stupid romantic man. 🥰

[@12classics39]

“Just in cases.” How beautiful is that, really. For one, they both struggled with each other’s language, but they each were making a big effort, for the other’s sake. But also, she had no idea if she’d ever see him again. She didn’t know he was going to come looking for her, and thus she learned his language so she could find him again. And then there he was, having learned her language for the same reason. ❤❤❤

[@sidehustle8396]

🥲

[@cristinabadea6344]

That silence in the hall is heavy. You can "hear" the hope of each person there. Beautiful scene. Is it only me thinking " wish I was proposed like that ", it could have melted me for any day to come. ❤❤

[@stevemorse108]

She had real inner and outer beauty....she is magnificent.

[@Caseytify]

I was amazed at the change in her appearance when we first saw her, and this scene. She was so plain & standoffish at first I don't know if it was makeup, wardrobe, on very good acting on her part.

[@marinaguilherme8042]

This proposal is priceless !

[@karineaudet6270]

I agree;)

[@ahmedlisin3704]

This scene is beautifully heart melting. A gem, especially around Christmas time :)

[@paulg903]

The best couple in Love Actually

[@bag3lmonst3r72]

I would argue that Portuguese is the sweetest-sounding Romance language. "The last flower of Latium, wild and beautiful."

[@gilberto2056]

🤔👎🤷

[@cisium1184]

I agree. And I think it is much more beautiful as spoken in Portugal than as spoken in Brazil. All those pretty "zh" sounds. And yes, I also think French and Russian are beautiful languages.

[@lisev415]

Nah

[@hlynnkeith9334]

@@cisium1184 Por mim, o português brasileiro é o melhor. Concordo com bag3lmonst3r7 que a lengua portuguêsa é a mais romantica e a mais poetica das todas lenguas latinas. The first time I saw Love Actually was in Korea with Korean subtitles. I was glad I spoke Portuguese and could understand the interaction and the proposal.

[@aamnainfebruary]

It’s so so lovely and hilarious at the same time

[@Sam-jf8hj]

This story is my fav from movie... Totally simple with epic ending.

[@cisium1184]

Aurelia's poor English is acting. Lúcia Moniz studied in Minnesota as a girl and has spent a lot of time in the Boston area. So in addition to being beautiful and artistically talented, she is also a fluent English speaker.

[@miguelbranquinho7235]

As most Portuguese are.

[@andytan911]

It's a "movie", guess you forgot

[@nesserw]

Almost every portuguese person knows how to speak english lmao

Perhaps someone should inform you that this is what you call PROFESSIONAL ACTING. 😊

[@justaman1090]

The best proposal scene in the history of cinematography

[@blitzkrieg6872]

but her smile though.....................OH MY GOD!!!!!

[@karamcsand]

I just realized that this scene is not good because of good writing or because of the two actors. That"s all just a cheesy stuff with simple jokes. What makes it amazing is the how all the other people got captured in the room. They don't even say or do anything but their presence is elevating the whole scene.

[@breadmandave]

Something gets in my eyes every time I watch this ;)

The actor had a Lot of difficult trouble pronunciation.
