I love the way Demelza's eyebrow goes up a little as she's looking at Ross. She is beautiful in this scene. And as we all know, Elizabeth will always be in the background and not just in this scene. Eleanor's transformation as Demelza is incredible. What a lovely and talented actress. Shirtless does work but just keep in mind...it works for Demelza.
That scene and the one where Ross is coming out of the sea half naked, gave a sensuality at the series. The rudeness of that time, the unspoken truth, is softened by showing bodyparts. The sex is mostly covered by blankets,sheets or clothes. Of course this is hot. Although, how would George his body look like ?
I just started Poldark a couple of days ago, and I'm now on season 2. I felt deprived for 5 years. There's more to "Kili" and his legacy lives on in Ross :)
A dear friend shared the following with me fairly recently. When this shirtless scene came on, there was a collective groan in the room (her family watched the series together) - something like “oh no, not another naked man, enough already” type of disappointment. Then her very wise grandmother asked where Demelza was. You see, she was a woman of wisdom who knew that with the morning after, it is the woman who exudes the glow of the morning after - grandmother may not know about film creation but was wise about woman pleasure. I personally was disappointed for the cinematographer who took the very gorgeous shot of Demelza, which beautifully reflected on the screen. Even Garrick looked so calm and as if he had a good bath. The beauty of the shot was lost on a shirtless man which is a scene already overused in too many films. Pity.
Violeta, I so enjoy your comments. We seem to be on the same page. Eleanor Tomlinson is wonderful and cheers to that grandmother who saw into the depth of that scene. My eyes are always on Eleanor. She is delightful to watch. Every movie I've seen Aidan in, he has bared his chest and more. Enough already. Lol
una escena maravillosa, si es verdad e inevitable admirar a Aidan sin camisa, pero tambien esta esa mirada de Eleonor que no puede creer que ese es su hombre su amado. al final una escena espectacular en todo sentido
Love #Poldark #PoldarkPBS! Wonderful casting, music , storylines, acting and scenery. Aidan Turner and Eleanor Tomlinson are pure magic together on screen. I wish there was a sixth series or more #bringbackPoldark
Stop the debate and comments, lets put the cards on the table, Aidan looks perfect and every straight woman will think this scene delicious. Thank goodness for the rewind button. Miss the coke adverts, glad i was around when they were shown. Aidan would have looked good here opening a fizzy can ❤😊😊😊😊😊
The way he is scything, he wouldn't be able to keep it up and he play mowed nothing (fake sound). Had a good laugh. It would have been sexy enough to take his shirt off and drink some water, Coca Cola ad style. Scene was recommended to me. After that I read a bit about the story and well, I don't think I bother with this Poldark. His caracter is repulsive to me even though he choose love over money in the end. Nice physique can't compensate.
The characters aren't all likeable and they change over time (not always in the way you'd wish for them), but I think that makes it a better, more complicated and relatable series than the usual formulaic fluff of historical fiction. This scene stands out and gets talked about because the rest of the show in comparison is not usually so gratuitous.
Shit scything. I mean, none of that grass fell down. I can do that better than him, and I'm twice as old as him. That swishing sound effect was added on afterwards.
I think Aidan a great actor, but he really should have thought this through and been a little more generous to Eleanor. The focus should have been on Demelza. 😕 Save the shirtless for the mine scenes....just as appreciated.
So he first sleeps with Demelza the night before this scene. Then after he is flirting with his posh potential girlfrien right in front of Demelza because she is just a maid. He can scyth all he wants like this but I still hate his caracter at this point in the movie. Fortunately he chooses Demelza later on - dispite his family that wants him to marry up not down to keep safe the families position. So it was love not just because she was available. But here he is scything so fiercly (not how one should scyth at all apparently) because he hasnt given up on the idea of marrying the nobel lady and is fighting with himself if he should marry the maid and live poor.
Aidan turner è di una avvenenza superiore. Splendido nella sua perfezione con un corpo perfettamente e armoniosamente scolpito bello come un dio. Beate demelza ed elisabeth che sono state amate da ross.!!!!
