subtext scenes from film: protagonists in love ?

[Randall_Oelerich]

Can anybody think of (share) a couple of examples of 2-3 page scenes from popular films that I could look at to study, where the protagonists love each other but do not reveal that in OTN dialogue, instead they use subtext dialogue or action to express their love?

Any scene from Remains of the Day should fit the bill.

Cut the scene, the longer they stay in love the slower the movie. Get them back into conflict. Unless your writing a porno, than well....
Nottinghill? perhaps. Practically any other movie with Hugh Grant.

I have to write the scene. For an assignment in a UCLA screenwriting course on crafting dialogue, taught by Karl Iglesias. Just looking for a couple of example scenes from film to study before planning out my own scene.

So true. Great suggestion.

... Practically any other movie with Hugh Grant.

The Age of Innocence. Good luck Randal.

Thank you. It is a great learning experience. After this last writing assignment, we have to write a final project-- 5 scenes 10+ pages incorporating everything we have learned in the course; challenging.

The Age of Innocence. Good luck Randal.
