Heartstopper is something special. It can't be explained. It must be felt. 😍
Beautifully written. That is so accurate.
this is the most beautifully articulated comment ♥️
@@JackieRossLavender Nick and Charlie's love is so pure, so tender, and so true.❤️🌈
French person here! Kit’s French is actually pretty good considering he originally doesn’t speak it. They also gave him some pretty natural French phrases compared to a lot of other media so that helps. Still quite a bit of an accent but pronunciation and intonation in general are good! Also it’s totally believable in this story of a bilingual kid who only speaks his absent dad’s language like twice a year.
Thank you. I saw someone else on another video rip into Kit for his ‘horrible’ French. I said the same (although I don’t speak French). He doesn’t speak it daily, and it was mostly just in the home with his father, who hasn’t been a big part of his life for several years. We wouldn’t expect him to speak it like a native.
@@jcs1025french people love to critique! But french is super tough to learn especially for English speakers. The rhythm is just so different. Compared to other actors I’ve seen I think Kit did a really good job. As long as it works to non French speaking ears and doesn’t take the French speakers out of the story I don’t see the problem at all!
I agree, for a non-speaker, he did it very well. I speak French, but it's Quebecois not Parisian and I've been made fun of when in Paris, mores so in Marseilles but the looks on some faces when they realize I understand them can get rather funny. I should note that the vast majority of French people did NOT make fun of me and were, in fact, quite lovely about it.
Thanks so much! I saw a young French CZcamsr reacting to Heartstopper and he’s also said Kit’s French was very good too! 😊
I'm not a native, but I have 20+ years of French-speaking experience, and my broad take on Kit's French here has always been that his intonation is really good, his consonants are great, but his vowels get a bit weird sometimes.
But I broadly agree on the phrasing. It's clear that they got a good translation done that hit a reasonable level of fluency and colloquialism that was still achievable for Kit.
Your comment re Kit's acting is spot on. I have worked in the TV and movie business for over 50 years with the likes of Olivier, Liz Taylor, Tony Hopkins, Michael Caine etc. observing their different acting styles and talents, but when I saw Kit acting with Olivia Coleman in the final scene of season one, I saw something very special indeed (as I did again in the final scene in episode 8 of this season). He is a tremendously talented, subtle actor. My only regret concerning this young man is that at my age I won't be alive to witness the numerous acting awards that are going to be bestowed on this seriously gifted actor. Superb stuff Mr. Connor!
Wow! What an amazing compliment from someone who has worked with such iconic actors. I agree with you, his acting seems so effortless.
That is quite a compliment to Kit! And I think he has a natural talent for acting. You can see every emotion on his face and he’s so authentic. Having read Volumes 1-4, I can see that Kit and Joe have really captured the essence of Nick and Charlie.
I’m so glad they brought Bradley back for this season. He only had one line in the season 1 finale. I think his character is adorably charming.
I think one of the reasons Will’s acting seems stronger this season is that the story gives him more layers to play than in the first season. Tao spends a lot of the first season, being sullen and worried and angry, while the situation allows him to show a wider range of emotions in this season. Of course, I’m sure Will is more comfortable in front of the camera now than he was then, too, but I think the storyline lets him have a lot more fun with the character as well.
I completely agree!
for sure
i'd just like to point out you literally THE BEST LAUGH I've heard in a long while. It's so truthfull and deep, it makes me smile alongside you every single time.
Thank you so much my friend 😂😂😂❤️
So the episode titles can all be read in multiple ways and my favourite Hearstopper game is to figure out how many meanings I can find to relate to each episode. I've not seen S2 enough to be able to do a complete rundown on the series but for this episode:
1. The no kissing for 2 days challenge
2. Imogen challenges Ben
3. Nick presenting him with an ice cream is a challenge for Charlie.
4. Mr Farouk is finding the whole trip challenging!
If people can find others I'd love to know!
hmm... I suppose Tao trying to get on good terms with Elle again could be seen as a challenge? and maybe Tara trying to speak with Darcy and then opening up to Charlie about how difficult that is to do
That’s so fun!
This season has been so wonderful! Don’t get me wrong, I loved season 1 as well.
Great reaction Jackie! Thanks! I so love Darcy’s “blonde moment comment “ about “why don’t we see any fish “
I think Kit and Joe have been fantastic in this second season, they have grown so much acting-wise and they have taken another step in terms of chemistry between them. I've seen someone be dumbfounded by the physical growth of Kit who is actually much bigger than in the first season, but in reality for those who have read the comics he is now much more similar to the character created by Alice. The difference in size between the two is one of the comic's cutest features.
8:08 it’s nice to see someone who has read the books and realizes that this is the exact scene from the book! And in order for that to happen, they have to have Charlie and Nick in separate beds.
That’s true. Personally, I feel like the excuse for the show is still a little bit weaker and doesn’t make _quite_ as much sense in comparison the comic and trying to keep the relationship a secret but it’s easy enough to look past that
@@brondo93 Yep, it's definitely weaker, but since I get what they're trying to do, I can look past it and it doesn't bother me. So many other reactors/commenters have said, "Tao should've let N&C have the bed together," not knowing that the creator needs them to be in separate beds so other scenes can happen.
I've seen French people say that it's good for how quickly he had to learn said French obviously it's not like fluent French but with how quickly Kit had to learn French it's good
8:30 Yes, Kit and Edvin are both such talented and natural actors. I look forward to seeing them blossom in their careers.
Thank you for being the first reactor I've watched that *hasn't* commented on the Nick and Charlie "will they/won't they?" implication when they're in the bedroom alone! Wonderful video, as always 😊
heartstopper touches a very special part of my heart, is so impressive how a tv show can make you feel and dream
I agree with you about that Kit being bulkier this season turned out to be a good thing in relation of being more similar to the comic versions, however I can't stop thinking about Kit's words that the main reason he decided to get bigger were "fans" who kept leaving offensive comments that Kit is not a good fit to play Nick cause he's too small😓
at the end of the day… the most important thing is his ability to portray Nick - which he smashes out the park. Looking like the comics is an added bonus. ♥️
I love how, when Imogen asks for a hug, Nick quickly looks over at Charlie, and Charlie gives him that little nod, like; "Go on!" Given that Nick almost went on a date with her at one time, it could make Charlie feel a bit insecure, so I really like how Nick seems to be aware of that and gets Charlie's approval before doing anything - and then pulls Charlie into the hug. 🥹🥹🥹
Great point! Didn’t notice that!
The shot of the three-way hug in the bathroom is one of my favorite visuals this season. Nick Nelson hugs are the best!
Tbh teared up a bit during the trio hug
Have you seen Kit in The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society film, he was only 14 and looked much younger but his acting was so on point, again very understated and realistic even at that young age, you never thought he was "acting" it is some achievement.
Hi - it is interesting to read that the interior scenes in the hotel was all filmed here in the UK - I actually thought they were filmed on location. The exterior scenes are so well done. Getting permission to film on the Eiffel Tower shows how much Heartstopper is a favourite all over the world.
Your reactions are one of the best I've seen on CZcams, your laughter makes me laugh. I genuinely love your videos so much. And your little love story of the padlock being engraved, I swear I almost cried, so beautiful. I hope it was still there.
I searched for an hour… it wasn’t 😭
Seriously how is Charlie so beautiful & handsome. Like he has always been but that scene of him with Tara at the stairs tho 😍😭
I think you mean Joe Locke, it is Joe who is so beautiful and handsome, give him the credit.
This season has given me the ability to appreciate Joe’s beauty in a way I didn’t before. Going back to Season 1, I see more of it now. He has such exquisite bone structure and a very distinguished face shape. I don’t always think the camera angles showcased that in Season 1, but in Season 2 he really shines in every scene.
@@elisabethbauman6190 seriously I saw people on internet saying stuffs about his look & his eyebrows. What a shame they can't see the beauty of him because those eyebrows are his special feature tht makes him even more beautiful
@@Britishladstuff Kit mentioned those bad comments about Joe's look and he felt that they were nasty and just rude, I agree, I have seen some of the comments where they said Joe looked strange. I was thinking, are they seeing a different man that I am seeing? Joe is truly beautiful. Love his hair and eyebrows. But also he can wear clothes perfectly. Just look at how he settles into Charle's clothes, the warm jumpers, the ripped jeans. And then he can go to Paris or London fashion show and wear skin tight leather trousers or some strange combination and look so cool, totally different to Charlie.
@@elisabethbauman6190 Remember in season two Joe was around 18 months older than when they started filming season one. He is still a teenager, so he is still growing and changing, and maybe that is why now in season two he looks even more beautiful.
Love your responses to this episode from Darcy's fish, Imogen blasting Ben, and Charlie's hickey scenes. Really enjoyed see your laughs!!! Thanks.
Kit C.
expresses so much with just his face and physicality. So much of good acting is reacting and he's just brilliant at this. I first noticed this in his brief but memorial time on screen in Rocketman. The scene where he has a cheeky moment with the teacher he auditions for (and fyi, I absolutely love that actress from British tv) and the scene where he catches his mom in the car with her boyfriend--just that tiny shake of his head and his eyes welling--so perfect and instinctive.
Your laugh is always joyful to watch Jackie honestly 😂
One of my favorite things about your reactions is how well you know the books ❤
I missed the premiere but I'm looking forward to watching your reaction as always :)
Heartstopper has such a special place in my heart ❤
Dang it missed the premiere but I loved this episode. so many beautiful scenes ❤
Also Tao and Nick are both bilingual so another thing they have in common apart from being in a single parent family.
I love watching your joy watching this show 💗💗💗
thank you ♥️♥️♥️
Not surprised she left in the bed thing. The handholding is cute and iconic and not sleeping together plays into several other important scenes.
So the new excuse is Tao projecting his feelings onto Nick and Charlie. Like, yeah, Nick and Charlie also feel that electricity when they're together. But they're dating, they LIKE that feeling!
And we thought Tobie/Isaac was smiley. Bradley/James! Whole other level. And it's adorable.
I assume Tao's dad has come up before considering how close those 4 are and how often they're at his house.
Harry's homophobic but he draws the line at sexism! lol
Bradley/James is definitely a whole other level of adorable!
For the amount of time that Elle spends at Tao’s house, I’m guessing she might know. And since Charlie and Tao have been friends since year 7 (what age would that be?), Charlie might’ve known Tao when his dad passed away.
@@lynnhettrick7588 11 (grade 6 in North America) so yeah, he knew Tao before his dad died
I think Harry’s fine with sexism (“you’ve all been playing like girls recently!”). I think he draws the line at the b word being used against his actual friend. I’m pretty sure if he saw a random couple get into an argument and the man called the woman a bitch, he’d be amused and entertained. Regardless, I do like that Harry has his standards, and that he cares enough about Imogen to think like a friend and call Ben out instead of a acting puppet-master/pot stirrer.
I am french and I have to say Kit is doing a great job ! I understand what he is saying in french but he does have an accent, the ice cream guy is a liar lmao
I mean, the ice cream guy was probably just trying to be really nice and encouraging as his French is better than most tourists he hears. I think you should be able to compliment someone even when no one would mistake them for a native speaker 😂
@@sarah4hp sure haha but he was asking if Nick spoke like a native and that’s simply not true 😬 but yes he have a great accent !
You skipped over the Nick and Tao scene where they have the best convo since their time at the picnic table between the fights in Bully [1:7]! It's an extension of the bus scene on the arc to them deepening their relationship. And really quite lovely and underplayed by both of them.
@@ben-andyhein7497 I didn’t “skip over it”. Not everything can make it into the CZcams edit.
I read that the production team deliberately made the hotel interior to look like a hotel which has seen better days but it is still nice to stay in - so they ensured the hotel didn't have a lift. The hotel room seems modern with the flat screen TV on the wall but it also looks older in the design of the room.
As an American I am so jealous of anybody that lives on the UK and that you can just go to Paris whenever. I can't even imagine it.
Anywhere in Europe you can go anytime for pennies or Euros or pounds or whatever. You know what I mean.
The thing about the Pont des Arts where every tourist was locking a padlock on, they actually had to cut them out and remove the grids because the bridge was not made for all the weight that these padlocks added, and was about to collapse, so they had to significantly reduce it. I think it's still kind of bad that some people still put some padlocks on the bridge, like it still is dangerous, and also dosrespectful, but I guess as a Breton person I just hate overtourism
16:55 the challenge wasn’t very clear. It seems like it’s only whether Nick kisses Charlie before 2 days, not whether Charlie kisses Nick 🤷♀️
I really loved to watch your reaction! I can't wait for the next one.
As TheChloco noted, Kit is indeed speaking French and rather well at that.
I love your reaction and heart stopper is so special to me.😍😇
i don't really need to fully speak french to say it is perfect. as far as a semi-native English-French person.
Hi again, just to comment about Kit bulking up. He said in an interview he saw the comments when season one was released that some fans felt he didn't look like Nick appears in the book. They felt Kit looked less muscle than Nick is described in the books. So he hit the gym, and there are pics of him training which would make any man dribble as he just looks so hot. So when it came to film season two in September 2022 he was literally bursting out of his uniform, more than in season one. However it is a shame, that it took comments from fans to make Kit think he had to physically change for this role. Another sign of pressure from fans on to Kit. What do you think?
Actors often go through physical transformations for a role. Part of the craft.
You so sweet!!! I love heartstopper too.. 😘😘 from Italy
Bro season 2 ep 4 has got me swething and my heart beats so freaking fast😂
Hard too see how ben is triggering charlie
Love your vids❤ I can't wait for next one 🤗
Loved your reaction
11:59 they have been friends since grade 8. I would hope she knows about his Dad. Did I miss something? I,thought that was a whole thing last season that they had been friends for so long that he knew Elle before she transistioned and that the friend group was being separated because of it.
Kit's French is good but the problem is the intonation which is not exactly on spot and he does not articulate the words so it is quite difficult to understand what he says. But as a first try he managed it very well.
Très bien 😊
Imogen was right to blast Ben but I think it’s very interesting that she specifically mentioned him being obsessed with Charlie, twice in fact. Considering this is high school, I would imagine that this would have caused rumours to start about Ben giving Charlie the hickey, which wouldn’t have been good for anyone all around.
Nick’s laughing smile when Charlie has ice cream on his nose is probably one of my top 3 shots of the season, I think.
I love these🥰
hi just wounding when do you the fall reaction on patreon
The full reactions for episodes 1-6 are already up on Patreon. 7 is coming later this week and 8 next week x
@@JackieRossLavender thankyou so much i didnt know how its works now i do yhankyou
I have a question because I didn't read the comics, is their relationship in the books this pure and chaste. I understand they are teens and figuring it out and everyone's lovestory is different but it is just so very very chaste. I mean it gets a little intense but I would think two teenage boys alone at any moment would be all over each other. Hormones are still a thing and I recall Ben and Charlie were doing some pretty spicy things. I might be conflating it though with Heartbreak high though.
I think you need to understand that Charlie is 15 at this point… so it’s pretty weird that people are obsessing about sexualising their relationship. Not everyone, as nick rightly says in a few episodes time, is ready for more than kissing at their age. We as society need to stop sexualising everything.
Please stop taking about the books, you already outed the teacher to the viewers, Taos dead dad and Darcy’s home life… just stick to the show , thanks 🎉
i’ll talk about the books all i want thankkkkkk you :)
please don’t tell content creators what they should be reacting to. I pride my content on pulling parallels from book to screen. if you don’t like it there’s plenty of other content creators you can go and watch.
Why would you watch a reaction video before watching the whole show first?
