*sigh*

For those of you who haven't watched The Village by M. Night Shyamalan.(oh his cameo is pretty subtle and fleeting so PAY ATTENTION. if not u'll miss it) Stop right here. Spoiler below. its not really a "spoiler" in the sense that i give away the twist or the gist of the story. No, what i've posted below is a scene from the movie. The MOST romantic scene ever in terms of dialogue and emotion, nothing physical tho(sorry guys) hhahahaa.

For those who haven't watched but dare to read, dont worry, it wont spoil your cinematic experience.(for when you DO watch it)

*sigh* i just have to post this.

The Village: the porch scene.
Characters: Lucius Hunt(male lead-joaquin phoenix) and Ivy Walker(female lead-bryce dallas howard. a noob*, but she's goooood)

Ivy is blind and Lucius rarely speaks unless spoken to.
In this scene Ivy is startled awake by someone sitting on the porch just beyond her window. She walks out and sits next to Lucius. He remains silent so she speaks 1st.

Ivy: The elders are going to have an inquiry tomorrow. Each member of the village is to be
questioned at the meeting hall.

Lucius: To see how the border was breached?

Ivy: Yes.

Lucius: It is cold outside. You ought to go in.

Ivy: Why are you on this porch?

Lucius: It is not safe?

Ivy: There are other porches. (Silence)
Do you find me too much of a tomboy?(oh man, this one hits home ;p) I do long to do boy things. Like that game the boys play at the stump. They put their backs to the woods and see how long they can wait before getting scared. It's so exciting.(pause) I understand you hold the record. It will never be broken, they say.

Lucius: It's just children's games.

Ivy: How is it you are brave when all the rest of us shake in our boots?

Lucius: I do not worry about what will happen. Only what needs to be done. How did you know i was here?

Ivy: I saw you at the window. No! I won't tell you your colour. Stop asking.(she whispers)
When we are married, will you dance with me? (Lucius looks up at her, astonished) ( i like
her, she doesnt mince her words. i've been told i do the same ;p) I find dancing very agreeable. (pause) Why can't you say what is in your head?

Lucius: Why can you not stop saying what is in yours?! (wah piang!**) Why must you lead
when i want to lead? If i want to dance, i will ask you to dance. If i want to speak, I will open my mouth and speak. Everyone is forever plaguing me to speak further.
Why? What good is it to tell you you are in my every thought from the time i wake?
What good can come from my saying that i sometimes cannot think clearly or do my
work properly? What gain can rise from my telling you the only time i feel fear as
others do....(pause) is when i think of you in harm. (*sigh* *faints on the floor*) That is
why i am on this porch Ivy Walker. I fear for your safety before all others. And yes,
(he says softly and gently) I will dance with you on our wedding night.

She tears, He caresses her face, they kiss.

After i watched the movie i was like " i want a silent, quiet type". *swoon* they act all timid and etc then after much provocation, they pounce on you. wahhh. hahaha. but anyway, its been quite some time since i've watched the movie and reality has since brought me back down to earth.
