“If you muck me about, Dexter.” “I won’t-“ “I mean it, if you lead me on or let me down or go behind my back, I will murder you. I swear to God, I will eat your heart.”
“I won’t do that, Em.” “You won’t?” “I swear, I won’t.”
And then she frowned, and shook her head, then put her arms around him once more, pressing her face into his shoulder, making a noise that sounded almost like rage. “What’s up?” he asked. “Nothing. Oh, nothing. Just…” She looked up at him. “I thought I’d finally got rid of you.” “I don’t think you can,” he said.
The scenes showing Dexter’s heartbreak at the thought of losing Emma are killing me not knowing if it was intentional foreshadowing. I’m taking about when he left a message on her machine after that awful day with his parents and remembered that she was going on a date. Then in Paris when he meets Jean Pierre. When I watched those scenes I literally felt like I could see his heart breaking. I had no idea how this show was going to end I really thought it was a happy romcom 😭🥲 but I’m now realising that we saw before she died his grief at the thought of losing her. I’m really not okay
I watched “One Day” back in 2011 in a small theatre in my hometown when I was 15. I watched it because I liked the OneRepublic song in the trailer and I loved Anne Hathaway.
I remember sitting in the theatre falling in love with the characters and the story and I remember very vividly spending the last 20-30 minutes of the movie full on sobbing. I’ve loved this movie (despite the less than favorable reviews) because it made me FEEL SO HARD.
And I was scared when I found out they were remaking it as a tv series. First, because it felt too soon and then because I was worried they wouldn’t be able to do it right. SO many remakes have been absolute duds.
But WOW. Absolutely magnificent. I just finished the last few episodes and I’ve fallen in love all over again.
The interwoven flashbacks in the final episode, the scene with the boxes, CHRISTMAS.
I can’t wait to watch it again. But not right away, because I need to emotionally recover a little bit first.
