'I'm Just A Girl'' | Notting Hill | Screen Bites 

As many times as I've watched this movie, for some reason I never paid close attention to her acting in this scene, but if you do, you realize how good she is here. She really seems like a teenage girl putting her entire heart on the line. Gone is the tremendously polished, confident public face of an actress. Right then and there she is a nervous wreck, heart pounding in her chest, basically putting herself in his hands. It's really good stuff from Julia Roberts.

I miss this kind of cinematography. No background music, no distracting sounds, just plain dialogue and amazing acting.

“Don’t even think about it. Go away” same

The way Julia Roberts delivers that line is unmatched. Perfect tone, with perfect pauses, just perfect acting.

Some scenes are unforgettable, they never get old... like this one

Demi Moore's best performance I've seen, at least in the romantic comedy genre: vulnerable yet restrained and richly expressive. And without losing any of her captivating charm

"The fame thing isn't really real you know". Gorgeous!

She’s in blue and he’s in pink…something about them wearing the opposite traditional gendered colors feels so potent. Excellent moment

Best scene ever in a Rom-Com.

Amazing control as she keeps smiling as he starts to say no, but as he glances away, you see the dismay and sorrow on her face.

This is one of my favourite scenes in this film. I went through so many emotions but it did make me cry on her line 'im also just a girl, standing in front of a boy'. Such a fantastic film. Great cast and so many funny bits. It's a classic to me and I watch it every now and then.

One of the best scene in cinema history!

her looks in this scene made her more beautiful. simple yet so charming

Those are my favorite lines that Julia has ever spoken.

The most powerful statement about love.

No matter how many times I watch this scene, it still gives me goosebumps..

This movie is so charming and light-hearted.

I'm also just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to love her...

Watch this over and over again... And my heart still hurt for her🥺

Two great actors at the top of their game and creating one of the greatest scenes in British movie history x

" I'm a fairly 'level-headed' 'bloke' " 3:01. Watching and learning new expressions.

3:23 she probably new found respect for Will for telling her 'No' because so many people would just say 'Yes' without thinking about the fallout.

what a handsome, handsome man !😍😍😍😍😍

4:51 speaking from past experiences, jadednes, heartache and failures. You can see and hear it from Julia's eyes and delivery. Very masterful way of doing it. Anna probably never had people liking her for the person, they probably liked her for the fame, beauty and recognition, but never for the vulnerable personality. She even said that when she referenced Rita Hayworth's Gilda's sleeping with the dream and waking up to reality. But also on the other side, Will was right to reject her because he fears for the consequences. His previous wife left him for someone else, he got 2 rude awakenings with Anna as well. A third one would have probably finished him off.

The context of her character being an actress adds such power to an already poignant line. The whole world sees her as this idol, this object of fame and glory, which threatens her relationship with him because he fears that is what she wants to be and that, as an ordinary man, he couldn’t be enough for her and they’d both be left unfulfilled. But with this line, she assures him that she is a person like any other, and wants to love and be loved just like anybody else, more so than any meaningless fame or glory.

He thought he'd never see her again.. and then POP, goes his heart

Memorable and iconic line at 4:45 Very classic

I love this... and for anyone who's felt or dealt with some fame... she's right... the "fame" isn't real or everlasting...at the end of the day, people are just people.. just humans

An awesome and legendary movie. Hope to see them act together again in future.

The last look of the rebuffed customer through the window! Brilliant touch. Hahaha.

One of the best scenes from Notting Hill- super connection! Movie end was good.

Love this scene when she says exactly how she is feeling '' I am just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to love her''

Don't even think about it, go away immediately! Go away. LMAOOOOOO XD

This has got to be the sweetest five minutes of film over produced ... watching Julia try to fight back tears as her heart is broken. My goodness what a beautiful actress !

"Why I'm always Julia Roberts?" -Harry Styles 💚

And still.... The best romantic comedy movie to me ever...

One of my all time great movies. Whenever I watch this movie i feel so calm and not rushed through a story . I hope I am not the only one

Masterfully done. Both saying what they had in mind from their experiences from the past 2 incidents and then delivering the lines where you feel all the emotions.

4:41 to the end, her gestures are so sincere and touching, even pointing the paint with a look as she leaves.

Makes me cry everytime..

Handsome lad ever! Blue got its beauty by being ur eyes Hugh!

Great scene in one of the best movies never get bored of it! Perfect acting perfect pauses just pure dialogue. Never get bored watching it

Always enjoyed this movie. Tear jerker at times. 👍👍

I really love this movie I've been watch it a hundred times ..love you queen Julia!

Hugh is so charming gosh

Watched this movie for the first time yesterday and I cant get this brilliant scene out of my head. Julia Roberts' acting is mind blowing here. I can feel the pain here.

I absolutely love this little, simple, endearing movie...from the first time I watched it. Many critics dislike it but it really has some of the best acted scenes I've ever seen. The storyline - The utter acceptance and support from true friends who recognize your flaws and love you nonetheless - really hard to find. ❣❤💜💔💘💟

Love this movie and the scene 💕 I want a star to tell me “I'm also just a boy, standing in front of a girl , asking her to love him.”

Who's still watching this amidst covid 19 pandemic?

Oh Mann!!...wie das schön war diese stille und Ruhe......

One of my favourite lines of all time 🙌

It’s fun to spend a few minutes with others here who loved that scene.

I watched this then noticed something so watched a few more times. OMG That lady can Act

its so great the movie takes the time to let this scene work. it needs time to develop the full range of emotions it wants to show.

I love His character in this movie what a paceful Man

Classic and iconic! This scene is a masterpiece indeed ❤️

The way he immediately dismisses the guy who walks in at 0:22 will live in my soul forever.

This movie, is excelent, and the soundtrack!

First of all, really great script by Richard Curtis. Then masterful casting of all, particularly the two stars at their peak. Julia Roberts performance here is exceptional, an acting class. By turns, confident, warm, funny, angry, and then extremely, believably, vulnerable; with micro expressions throughout the film that make her emotions all the more believable and relatable. And then that radiant Julia Roberts smile comes bursting through. To die for. Not to mention, Hugh Grant delivered his lines perfectly and believably also, with warm humor, great timing, and his usual charm. This particular scene has one of the greatest, most memorable lines in film of course. All the rest of the cast, and creators, did their "jobs" well too in orchestrating this brilliantly charming movie.

Perfect timing as ever

Beat scene ever.

Love this movie and perfect ost

This is so sweet.

'Ghost was the most wonderful film' 😅 i am still laughing and i watched it a thousand times.

One of my favourite scenes in the movie

4:50 tear drop rolls down

Young Julia Roberts was so beautiful

It is an excellent movie. The ability to alternate The last brownie chat between pathos and laughter is an extraordinary dialogue writing ability.

One of my favorite scene. 😍 I love Julia Roberts🙂

Best love scene ever

I love this scene. Amazing!

Cannot get thru these scene without getting teary everytime. So well done.

I could cry every time I watch this scene but in the end they’re happy 🥹🫶🏻

Stanislavski would be blown away. . . . My god, she can act . . .

when i hear the line “im just a girl standing infront of a boy....”, i immediately think of harry styles with james corden in the car

For me the best movie I have seen, now would be a good time to do it again together, after the years, as I say, for me a work of art.

Impossible not to cry like a baby.

Iconic and Julia acting is amazing in this😭😭😭
