There are passages in the novel that didn’t make it to the movie in which Mr. Thornton expresses how deeply and ardently he loves Margaret. He fell in love with her quickly and he fell hard. I think his mistake in proposing to her was one of timing. It was too soon for her. She didn’t realize she loved him until after she had already hurt him. She was eleven or so years younger, and sorting out feelings she’d never felt before. I also think she heard the unkind comments of Fannie and Mrs. Thornton the day before and hadn’t had time yet to get over their pettiness. In the novel, Thornton declares he will love her anyway, though he will not declare it again and describes how even coldness from her was sweet to him if it meant he could be in her presence. His descriptions of his love for “my Margaret” are both sad and hopeful. This cold, hard, dispassionate businessman was capable of enormous tenderness. It appears Margaret’s extended period of mourning after her father’s death was due partially at least to also mourning for Thornton. Interestingly it is 64 year old bachelor Bell who sees clearly that she loves him and is yearning for him. In both the novel and the movie, Thornton wins her over through gentle touch, not with words.

Beautiful. One of the best literary film adaptations ever made. A timeless classic. A moving and inspired choice of music.

I still love looking at excerpts from this. The ending contains one of the most romantic love scenes I've ever seen on film.

The movie is well directed and played very well by the cast.Wonderful story brought out excellently by the actors.The heroine and hero have done an excellent job.Wonderful effort.😊

У Ричарда мощная мужская харизма, огненный взгляд, внутренняя сила, яркая внешность и голос удивительный. Играет он страстно и талантливо. Другие актёры тоже великолепны. Партнёрша Ричарда была также очень убедительна в своей роли. Но весь фильм всё- таки держался на пронзительной игре Ричарда Армитиджа. Он перетянул всё внимание на себя. Потрясающий драматический актёр.

OMG soooo good!! You did such a superb job with this, Lotte. I just can't get enough of this adaptation.

Wonderful choice of music, and very well edited! CHEERS!!! Such a wonderful adaptation indeed!!! ***

I love this serie...I have told everybody about it.,.

I know you probably hear this at least 25 times every 10minutes but I just have to tell you, you have one of the most beautiful expressive eyes they speak volumes!

I am not a real big fan of Richard Armitage in Robin Hood (probably because his character isn't really nice, and because I haven't watched serie 1 XD) but I just love his role in North & South. It is an amazing serie, I can really recommand it to you! There are some amazing videos on YT about this serie (especially Melodia222 makes a lot of N&S videos :p) Please let me know if you liked the serie as much as I think you will :). Thanks for your comment!

First didnt know nothing about N&S and I somehow happened watch it. Now I cant imagine, how to live without it. Totally fan of the series and of course RA :) About this vid..it IS THE BEST!!!

I'm still stunned(not that I've been stunned a week, but after seeing it a second time today ^^). At first I thought the music doesn't fit so very well after all, but the more I saw of the video the more I thought the opposite. I think it emphasizes how their relationship is based on so many controversial aspects, like their different origion and attitudes. And with the music rising they get closer but they also come more into conflict. I think the music supports that very well! Amazing Video!

Amazing acting and story

that was breathtaking Lotte !!!!!! The music is so haunting , I love it !!!!! A bit too long for me maybe but still so beautiful !!!! You`re getting really good at these :)

Thank you for such a thorough video the insromential music walked along with the viewer while taking nothing away from.each movie clip surperb and well done

Thanks again! I am glad you didn't think it was rude to post the comment. I love North & South too, it is a beautiful serie. I am very glad you enjoyed it so much :D

All my favorite scenes

RA

Thanks a lot! I was searching for the dvd for a very very long time too, I wish you good luck with your search!

I meant to save it to my faves but sometimes I watch a few things at the same time and comment first, so it must have escaped me to save to faves, but I have done that now and it's saved !!! How can I not love it, it's an amazing video of my fave series-I love North and South, and to this amazing music-it's extraordinary!

great vid :) The music sounds good too, fits perfect with the scenes you've used. I'm desperately searching for the dvd of N&S, maybe I'll find it soon

N&S is absolutely stunning! I am so glad you rented it :D and you favourited it too, thanks!

I disagree about the quality, but thanks a lot :) I am glad you think it is great ^-^

Yes, Memoirs is beautiful! I am glad you think it suited N&S good. I am glad you think it is 'soooo great', love to hear that!

Thanks! I love to hear that you like the video so much :). I bought the book while I was in Great-Britain but you might be able to order it on the internet somewhere. I really liked the book. Please let me know if you liked it too :)!

The choice of music is perfect. Sounds eerily similar to the original score

One of the best I’ve seen, fantastic well done ❤

Thanks for your great comment :) Have a nice day!

Thanks for your amazing comment, I feel too honored! ^-^

yes, you are right, the music is very similaar with the openingtune. Yes, RA is very cute indeed hehe. I am very glad you think the lines suited well too. But you really should watch N&S instead of my vid ;-).

It is not good enough for being shown in the cinema's but I am very glad you think it is beautiful. But brilliant is way too much honor Xacu!

Yes, it is, all the music you hear, except the end :)

Thanks for your great comment!

Very good video

I just asked if there's a greek translation of the book!!

Hay una gran actriz Mexicana ,que se llama ANGÉLICA ARAGÓN ,que bien pudiera ser la madre de la protagonista . El parecido es brutal !!! Por favor mirarlo !!!

whahah thanks :D

Your comment is very much appreciated! But how do you mean the word Capitol? I searched for a translation, but I can't place those translations in the context (just curious :p) Well, thanks anyway!

@mrsdontbelieveinlove Hi Sophia! Sorry that it took me so long to come back to you, especially to your comments on my channel, bc I can't stay here long today either :S. Anyway! Thanks a lot! I am glad that you like this video :). Imo it is a bit too simple, but the music gives it a nice touch. But I tried to find the best scenes indeed, though it was hard because everything is so great XD. xxx back and have a nice day :).

I don't get why you like this so much :p. It is nothing rather special, especially when I compare it to some amazing videos that other people posted on YT (for example Melodia222 and HeathDances) but thanks a lot! I really appreciate it! Good luck with the recruitment LOL XD. I don't know if you are already a member, but do you know that something like the armitage army excists? I am not a member, but I just wanted to let you know!! Have a great day and thanks again for your sweet comment :)

I bet you haven't looked at it all :p

Thanks Maria! I am blushing because of your sweet comment, but it is not THAT good :p I don't want to be rude, but for as far as I can see you didn't favourite it (A) don't think I am one who checks all this, but I just visited your great channel ;)

Thanks Cindy! Love to read your sweet words, I know this adaption is wonderful sigh..
