#34: Still Not Over It
Someone is so upset by one of the plot points of Love Actually (2003) that they made a meme about it. Turns out, the internet is still not over it, either. Many of us watched this film when we were a lot younger, but this particular scene with Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson hits different when you’re an adult. If you’ve never seen the movie, get ready for a spoiler.
Emma Thompson’s character is expecting a beautiful necklace as a Christmas gift from her husband, played by Alan Rickman. She spied the necklace in his coat pocket one day, so she was shocked when she got a Joni Mitchell CD instead. Turns out, that necklace was for Rickman’s mistress. Ouch. Rewatching that scene of Thompson crying in her bedroom has a whole new layer of hurt when viewing it as an adult.
