Phantom Thread - "Never Cursed" Scene

[@heroinchicbarbie]

This is so beautiful, its basically a poem about grief Never cursed: Are you here Are you always here I miss you I think about you all the time I hear your voice say my name when i dream And when i wake up there're tears streaming down my face I just miss you its as simple as that I want to tell you everything I dont understand what you're saying I cant hear your voice

[@domq9002]

The most powerful scene in the movie, showing how devastating and withering a bond can be that was severed too quickly.

[@NarwhalSweat]

Anyone who's lost someone knows that this may be the most accurate portrayal of these feelings. I want to tell you everything.

[@chrismerok]

This scene brings me to tears . The music The story telling , the delivery of that line.. are you here? Are you always here? Incredible.

[@elliottevanforever]

its as simple as that.

[@saintcignatius]

Coming back to this scene after losing my father. “I miss you. I think about you all the time. I just miss you. It’s as simple as that.” 🖤

[@heckler370]

The acting, the cinematography, but oh, the music! It is the cherry on the top. I believe no other song would fit this scene. It sounds unsettling, beautiful, haunted, out of tune and pace, dreamlike, all at the same time. Jonny really did a extraordinary work on this film.

[@BT-kc3ee]

Completely agree👍

I couldn't say it better, this scene is the essence of pure cinema!

[@marxlung]

I'm 17 and I lost my mum 2 years ago, and today I could finally cry for the first time in ages, which rarely happens and it feels quite relieving. What made me cry was listening to this music by Jonny Greenwood, so I decided to see what scene this music was for. So already crying about missing my mum, I watched this video with zero expectations because I haven't seen the film before. And WOW, I don't think there's any other way to describe it. I was just crying even harder then!

Thats absolutely amazing. Blessings

one of the best ghost stories

[@RandomDudeOne]

Wasn't a ghost, he was hallucinating from the mushrooms. Though you could say he was haunted by his mother's memory.

[@mariosanchezgumiel7757]

"Phantom Thread" is a masterpiece. It should have received more recognition in the Oscars.

[@malvarezv97]

It is precisely because it's a masterpiece that it didn't receive any more Oscar recognition.

[@GothicKin]

This movie perfectly walks on the edge of fantasy, leaving us questioning whether we've been told a story or a myth. Anderson managed to put real people, in a real setting but managed to make it feel suspended in time with a supernatural bond that's beyond human

[@londonboy9422]

One of the best scenes i've ever seen. Johnny Greenwood's score is a masterpiece and this song is unbelievable.

[@kardra9714]

Sorry to be pedantic, but it is a piece of music, not a song (which requires actual singing). I see this all over KZbin

The scene surprised me, it brought love in my love life. A man the struggles so much to keep his mom’s integrity and her honor. He was so scared to let her in, but this scene showed that even from the other side. His mom is always looking over and show hers approval of his lover. And then from the rest of the movie he changes but this part of the movie is the only I’m he was most vulnerable. He needed help, and she cared for him, just as his mother has cared for him.

I come back here time to time when my memories are too strong. Oh, Reynolds, how much I feel you, man. I also miss her, as simple as that.

[@gedrooney9305]

Outstanding piece of Cinema

[@Sternertime]

There are tears every time i watch this scene.

[@marichristian1072]

Certain mushrooms produce hallucinations. It was inevitable that his bond with his mother was so strong that she would appear in his hallucination. Also, I'm fascinated by Alma removing the "never cursed" tag from the Princess's dress.She won't let anything come between her and Reynolds, even a superstitious hidden message.

[@grontelp77]

Well he wrote Never Cursed because he knew he and Alma would be touching the dress, and so in his secret heart of hearts he was protecting their chance to marry and not be cursed. He spent his whole life building this labyrinth of rules around himself while he grieved for his mother, and so he couldn’t express himself without making it one of his little games that he likes to control. When Alma discovers the message she sees that In his unguarded state, he does in fact love her back.

[@christopherkline4042]

Reynolds’ mother’s response was not of words, but of timing. Reynolds obviously misses his mom, and in this hallucination she appears to him. “I miss you, I can’t hear your voice, are you always here?”, then Alma enters the room. Reynolds’ mom was with him through Alma, and I think that’s beautiful.

[@uggggggghhhhh]

I remember watching this scene for the first time; I was creeped out and then a few seconds later I was just crying. Such a beautiful scene. Its grief captured in just a few sentences. It reminds me how enveloped in love it is.

[@susfringgaming4018]

This is such a good scene because the character is so easy to hate but this one scene makes you sympathise or empathise with him so easily

[@tokkia1384]

I’ve always wondered what the significance of the old Russian/Byzantine style of her dress is. I’m sure it’s more than just a stylistic/aesthetic choice. Even her appearance is like an old Eastern Orthodox icon.

Btw this piece reminds me a lot of Mahler's 9th and guess who was also called Alma

[@switchbrown9861]

when his mother appeared in the scene, i was legit scared because i know moments earlier he told her the story about his mother, so i instinctly knew that i was looking at a ghost lol

[@uggggggghhhhh]

I was too at first because it was so unexpected but once he started taking to her i just started crying. went from scared to really sad.

[@Seven-bv6ym]

By the end of the film, he starts to see Alma as his mother, that's why the final line is "I'm hungry".

[@hortenseweinblatt1508]

Aaaaand remember: when Alma first serves him, as a waitress, she anticipates that he might ask how to reach her, and she has a note all prepared to just hand to him -- and in this note, she salutes him cordially as "my hungry boy."

[@528491Inception]

What makes this scene even more impressive is that it was done at the end of the day. Crew had already started turning the power off on the floors below, people had been sent home for the day and the manager of the house was walking up the stairs to lock up.

Based on the design of the mother’s wedding dress, what year was she married? The dress looks more Russian in design than Victorian. Was his mother English?

[@denizdevrimkarabulut2233]

She was secret-Turkish

[@tokkia1384]

I’ve always wondered why her dress looks Byzantine/old Russian. Specifically the head dress. Even her face could belong in an old orthodox icon. It might be a reference to her almost divine presence in Reynolds life but that doesn’t explain the ethnicity. Maybe they were going for something very distant, foreign, mythical and associated with superstition (Russia has a strong culture of superstition). Orthodoxy may also be what they’re going for - how Reynolds needs to part not just with his mother’s memory but also with the “orthodox” rigidity of his lifestyle to find love

[@pam0626]

@@tokkia1384 Ohhh...that is deep. Thank you! I love this movie. Watching it is like curling up with a good book.

[@SanFranDentist94301]

A nod to her being "stylish". Keeping up with the fashions on the royals and Romanoffs and wanting a "different" wedding dress. Her wedding would have been circa 1890-1900.

[@SanFranDentist94301]

Worth noting that "Cyril" is greek for *master* or *leader*. As is Reynolds but to a lesser degree.

[@claudiamilano9010]

D.d.Lewis è fuori discussione, bravo come sempre, anche gli altri attori, ma il film è un incrocio di follie e non l ho gradito molto, non si riesce bene a capire, è un po' schizofrenico!
