5. I Like You Very Much Just As You Are

The scene that makes Mark Darcy the most amazing of romantic comedy men, is when he goes after Bridget after the party. Much like the scene where Darcy tells Elizabeth that she has bewitched him body and soul, Mark tells Bridget that he likes her. It’s so telling of him as a person. The moment that he sees that she is suffering and alone, he comes to tell her that he likes her. Just as she is.

The thing about Mark Darcy is that he knows what he’s getting himself into with Bridget Jones. Time and time again he tells her that he likes her. And every time that Bridget questions him, he always is there to reaffirm her. It’s why he’s amazing. He puts himself behind Bridget. Whatever makes her happy is what he wants for her.

Mark is the kind of guy who would rather do some big gesture anonymously than admit his feelings, which is why this scene is so important. He openly says Bridget is perfect. Maybe it’s because he is a modern day Fitzwilliam but no matter, it still makes him one of the most caring love interests in film today.
