these violent delights have violent ends

“Marry me. Marry me, my wonderful, darling friend.”

TIMESTAMP ROULETTE: Emma. (2020)

A little detail one might notice in the movie is that Emma and Mr Knightley wear matching rings with red stones from the beginning. Both of them also wear the ring on their left hand, the hand typically associated with marital status and romance in western cultures for it’s where the engagement and wedding rings are worn (according to some, this choice stems from the ancient Greek and Roman belief that this is the hand linked to the heart).

It seems to be a cute nod to their “hidden in plain sight” love story.

I did not see it. But then I seem to have been doomed to blindness.
