It's funny how this scene could be recontextualized if you replace the sweet piano music with horror music.

the way he didnt film his best friend for even one frame is killing me he didnt even try to hide it 😭😭

She sees herself through his eyes for the first time. Genius.

Her expression was epic as she started to realize what was happening

I love it when he says "yes" three times just like Mr. Darcy said "I love you" three times. also, unrequited love is gut wrenching.

let's take a moment to appreciate how beautiful Keira is.

Her realization moment at 2:24 is gold, and especially impressive for a 17-year-old actor.

This took place only a few days before Rick went to the hospital, went unconscious, then awoke in the world of The Walking Dead.

Such a beautiful and painful scene. You can feel his longing from the way he frames her in every shot.

I like this because he loves his best friend so much that he would never betray him.

I can't believe that Keira Knightley was only about 17 during filming, and Chiwetel Ejiofor was 26, while Andrew Lincoln was 30.

This is such a beautiful scene The look on her face when she realises what is happening is so moving

when you're shy/introverted and in love - I dunno Lincolns acting is SO good, not looking her in the eye, the tension in his body, the redness, the breathlessness, you can tell his heart is probably beating a mile a minute, he's so embarrassed - and then when he has to expel all the tension by going for a walk (side note: yeah as a rational adult he should have worked through his obsession/infatuation in a healthy way to get over her, but unfortunately he indulged it lol)

She was 18 when this was released. 17 when it filmed. And she played a married woman. She does have a sophisticated look that could pass for 23 here which is probably closer to the age she was playing

A very genuine display of emotions. Very good, natural, fresh acting close to reality..... Actually.

Criticize it if you like, but this is my favorite part of Love Actually; it fully captures - as the young boy says in the movie - the total agony of being in love.

Keira being one of the most beautiful women. Stunning.

Rick doesn't know yet how difficult life will be soon

This scene always gives me goosebumps. It's so unimaginably terrible when you're unhappily in love with someone. I'm feeling the same way as the guy in the movie right now. And it hurts so much...

For me one of the most moving scenes in the movie

"But you never talk to me. You always talk to Peter. You don't like me." I don't think the feelings are unrequited at all. It's just bad timing. You can almost hear a hint of hurt in her voice that shows that she also in fact has romantic feelings for him too. Almost as if she's saying "well maybe it could have been you but you never even bothered to get to know me".

I always find something new rewatching this movie. When she says his name, then says I know you are his friend, if you look very closely, you can see his whole face and body look hopeful that she will say she has feelings back then when she goes I know you have never warmed to me he suddenly deflates and realises its not what he wanted to hear. I've never looked so closely, but that's so sad. :( The whole movie is perfectly done. It is one of my top 5 movies I could watch over and over.

Fun fact, she was wearing the hat to cover up a massive spot on her forehead. Keira was still on her teens/early twenties in most of her iconic roles.

that quiet white noise after the video fades with both of them staring into the TV... brilliant capture of that unending moment

"But, you don't even like me." How we pretend and how we misunderstand. Games we play...

Oh Rick was such a flirt before the apocalypse hit

The irony was forget about love, she thought he didn't even like her... How we misunderstand feelings...

The moment you realize that the movie is entirely about your face.

That is just the sweetest scene. I love love love a good scene.

It is SO Incredibly amazing when she "opens her eyes" and sees 🙃

God, she's absolutely lovely.

Life was so good before the apocalypse.

great acting scene and Keira looks simply mesmerizing as Juliet

So touching, just another kind of romantic composing…

One of the best and most painful scenes in the movie.

Unrequited love is indeed so painful. All the comments below brought me a connection with everyone...the tears are close by.

She should be like “oh, you are a freak”. And he would be like “scream if you want, no one will hear you.”

Ughhh love the running away scene

I forgot how totally obsessed I used to be with Kiera. You can't blame the guy.

"Its a self preservation thing" ❤❤❤...a must to remember ❤...always❤

This woman ... Her eyes are incredible.

One of the most memorable scenes from the movie. Brilliantly done.

I'm not gonna claim to be some "Manly Man" or anything, but Rom Coms just aren't my thing...except THIS one! This is one of the few I LOVE to watch whenever it's on, and this scene is just, from acting, to camera work, to each line, *perfection*! I heard there was a sequel to this movie, but never confirmed it... (another one I like is Steve Martin's Roxanne)

This scene always kills me. So beautifully done and acted.

I remember watching this back in 2003 and how that dress was beautifully sparkling at the end of the wedding video.

This is the moment Mark became Rick Grimes

In the real world, any sane beautiful woman would be completely freaked out.

This scene can take repeated viewings because, while the writing is spot on, the two actors seem to be being so real.

Keira is so pretty. Has tons of talent.

Incredible actors woww you really feel every beat change every feeling with them

Beautiful scene - love them both.

One should always take care of one's heart. ❤️

Great movie! What a wonderful scene.

"I look quite pretty" is......actually......an understatement.

Keira is the best.What a great talent.

that was quite a award winning scene

Is Kiera not one of the most beautiful women you can ever hope to lay eyes on? Let alone speak to. If she was in front of me, I would pass out the moment she spoke, I think! Thank you! Love her in everything!!

i love how her face goes "lol dont you think this video is a bit too focused on- wait... OH.... oh..." at 2:22

“Not my Rick Grimes”😭 lol

Their story was the saddest from that film. Very heartbreaking.💔

My favorite scene in the movie.

Soooooo young....I was too back in the 00s 😂. 20 year later and here we are 😂. Oooooo Video cassette...love it back then...

Amazing scene and great music, she is beatiful...

This song where he is walking along by himself makes the movie,such a beautiful love song & you didn't show it😢

Idk why but the youtube algorithm kept pushing this on my feed, and after at least 3 weeks, I've finally watched it. This movie must be fantastic. I've never seen it, but the mark of a good movie is that you can feel what's going on in important scenes without much context. I 100% understand what's going on here without ever having seen this movie before and it's fantastic.

She has such a charming smile !!!

for some reason i can't do other but cry while seeing this scene

I like the little Rick Grimes walk away at the end :)

This looks like love, actually.

the music matches so good.

Love you, Keira!❤❤❤

This movie is just splendid. Could watch it a hundred times and then a hundred more.

One of the greatest moments in cinema in my opinion

It was my first year in college when i watched this movie in theater. I watched this movie with a girl whom i like so very very much, she's so gorgeous to the point i was really nervous when she's around me, i can't barely eat my lunch when she look at me. The thing is, the first time i was meeting her, i didn't even pay attention on her existence. I started to like her due to at that time a friend of mine borrowed my brand new Nokia phone to test the camera and she started taking pictures of anything, including a picture of the girl whom i later fell in love with. So when i arrived at home, checked the phone and started deleting all the pictures taken, i saw her pictures, and instantly fell in love to her beauty, I couldn't delete her pictures. So, I started asking who she is, and asked my friend to introduce me to her. Long story short, she was already taken, and in a relationship with her boyfriend since high school, so i keep my distance in a friend zone without her knowing my true feelings. At some point when she had a heated argument with her boyfriend because he was being so possessive, she asked me out to a movie. I thought we'll be watching it with another friend of her. Yet when i met her on the theater it just the 2 of us, she choosed this movie. TBH at that moment i didn't even knew what was the title of the movie, or what's the movie was all about due to i was so frickin nervous being left alone with her. I only remember this particular scene and when this man told keira he loved her with his hand writing on the door step. At this particular scene, she held my arms and told me, she feels so comfy and like being with me, she also wondered if we can be more than friends. I was so dumbstruck n didn't know what to answer, so i kept silent and let her held my hand until the end of the movie. I took her eat some lunch at KFC, and told her "I do really want to say 'yes' to all of it, but i am afraid you're confused about your feelings toward me and mistaken it into something else. Take a step back so u can look all of it throughly, I'll be a phone call away if u need me" it was the hardest and bitter KFC i swallowed in my life. Took us 9 years to be together, though we took separate ways eventually, i think it was due to i was at my final year of my post graduate, told her to wait, because if i didn't finished my theses in 6 months the university will be dropping me out but her time is running out. So this movie has the sweetest memories on me. Fate works in a mysterious way, sometimes destiny is entwined but never joined, some life are stranger than fictions.

This movie is so powerful...

It would have been amazing if she turned into a zombie, and he had to fight her off.

So cute and well spoken :)

The entire love triangle between the two best friends and her is, for me, the most emotional and best story in the entire film. His secret adoration for his best friend's wife, the way she realizes it through this absolutely magnificently staged scene and the way he finally confesses his love and affection to her without crossing any boundaries. Absolutely consistent from start to finish, and particularly well acted by Keira Knigthley (just 17 years old at the time!) and Andrew Lincoln.

beautiful and brilliant actress.

Great scene. Her accent is so cute

As a life-long pro photographer since age 15 years (I'm 75 now) I can confirm that taking photos of beautiful girls and women can really mess with one's mind. I've developed probably thousands of crushes that never went anywhere and many were difficult to move past.

So this is what Rick was dreaming about...

His acting here though ... wow!

To be in love with someone and not be able to have them is a feeling i would not wish on anyone

Keira Knightley was and continues to be breathtakingly and effortlessly beautiful. She is truly heavenly in every sense. Her appearance only begins to describe how beautiful she is.

Juliet should’ve been a detective, locating that video so quickly after Mark’s exhausting search. Seriously, her reactions watching that tape, especially when the truth hits her, marked Miss Knightley for greatness as an actress early on in her career, much like Kate Winslet’s breakout role in Sense & Sensibility.

Keira Knightly is soo cute 💋 , Love Actually is such a realistic wonderful Movie 💗 All time greats

It always this sad and this actually happens in reality.

There's a lesson to be learnt from this scene: TALK to one another and TELL THEM what's going on, no matter how embarrassing it might seem in that moment.

I really like this movie. It done like a Robert Altman film with several sets of character stories intersecting with each. Yes it's schmaltsy but it is a wonderful holiday film.

She's adorable. I will have to watch it. Can't go wrong with Kiera Knoghtly.

I have a lifelong crush on this lady, she's absolutely the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my 40 years or life...

1:55 yeah you are and super talented RESPECT

Love how she's about to ask him why did he onky edit in her but then would realise it herself so there was no need to directly spout it out to the audience. Modern writers can't write subtext like that anymore, everything has to be shown and explained in the simplest way possible so their little brains won't go on a twist thinking they could be too smart for the audience even though they wouldn't pass a difficult high school class withthe stuff they're making

Took me a while to recognize ‘Rick Grimes’ in ‘Love Actually’. He’s so clean I love it.

OMG, I just realized that’s Officer Rick! He looks a lot happier when he’s not fighting zombies. :)

Ah the 90's when love was love. 30 years ago, very slim chance of love between young people being that romantic now. Very sweet scene.

Shes stunning

00:09, he acted exactly like Bill Nighy. Such an iconic move.

"it's a... self-preservation thing... you see..."
